I know it’s only temporary but that sucks for them.

Makes you appreciate SLI’s situation with needing no extra permits with the Lanxess site.

Certainly sucks for their investors, although I'm surprised their stock price is as high as it is.

You gotta wonder if it's really just temporary. Those locals are going to fight that hard, obviously.

And they can point a finger southwest, and say "they can produce all the lithium this country needs three states away without a single stick of dynamite. No need to destroy our habitat and lifestyle."

ETA: Someone with facebook could probably find a local usergroup fighting PLL and mention the green solution that SLI provides, just in case they haven't heard of it.

ETA: Then again, that's Albemarle country. No telling.

If I had FB I definitely would

I wonder if we see a big drop in PLL and a rise in SLI between this and the Joe Lowry article.

Wonder if this has anything to do with cyber truck production? Delayed until they can ensure adequate battery supply.

Idk, but I do know where they can get it from!

Hang tight fells, it’s time I pull my weight around here. Will report back.

It's the little things like this that moon stocks. It's not always being the best company. Sometimes a good company can reach a higher valuation than a great company based on more people being aware about the company.

It is the little things like this that drop companies like rocks, people will lose all confidence and disregard fundamentals. Very few people win in these shenanigans.

If this is You, you seem to have made a fundamental error in your attempt to influence the people of NC to the benefits of SLI.

Standard Lithium uses a process that extracts lithium from brine. North Carolina lithium (Piedmont) is contained in hard rock (spodumene) and open pit mined.

The two processes are not interchangeable.

Saw this article earlier today about the LA Tech engineers at SLI. Thought some of you might enjoy it.

Interesting take.

I'm not sure how pointing out a noninvasive process of extracting lithium almost right down the road is a shenanigan.

Seems like that just sharing information, just like we do here. No?

He could have not used the word "mines", but maybe he just used that to pique their curiosity.

If the process produces the same end product, how is it not interchangeable?

Allow me to explain...

The two main sources of lithium are continental brines (saltwater aquifers) and ore hardrock pegmatites (igneous rocks of post magmatic fluids).

Brine is a fluid and ore is a solid.

The lithium in NC is pegmatite ore.

ORE
Pegmatite is extracted from open pit systems using traditional mining techniques. The extracted “lumps” of pegmatite are then mechanically crushed to reduce their size. The crushed ore is further milled to produce a finer product, which is more suitable for further separation in floating cells. In these cells, the various other minerals, including quartz, feldspar and micas, are removed. This results in the formation of a spodumene concentrate which can be either sold for direct application in the manufacture of glass and ceramics or chemically processed to create lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide.

Although there are a number of processes for derivatizing spodumene concentrate, they all begin with lithium extraction from ore followed by chemical conversion and then purification.

BRINE
Brine containing high concentrations of lithium is pulled from saltwater aquifers using extraction wells. From the wellhead, the brine is diverted to an evaporation pond system. Using solar evaporation, the lithium salts are concentrated in the brine and eventually routed to the next pond in the system. This step is continued multiple times, until the lithium concentration reaches a level high enough for conversion to lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide. The entire concentration process can take 12 to 18 months.

During evaporation, other minerals, which typically contain sodium, potassium and magnesium, precipitate from the brine, leaving higher concentrations of lithium chloride (LiCl). The resulting concentrated LiCl brine from the terminal pond of the system is then routed to a processing plant where it is converted to lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide or lithium chloride.

Standard Lithium
SLI's technology is designed to extract lithium form brine. The SiFT plant is designed to take the intermediate product made by the company’s DLE process (a high purity, concentrated lithium chloride solution) and convert that into a battery-quality (or better) lithium carbonate at a fraction of the time that traditional lithium is extracted from evaporation pools. The SiFT Plant is installed adjacent to and connected to the Company’s LiSTR Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) demo plant. YouTube: Demo Plant

Therefore, SLI's technology cannot be deployed to NC because it is not interchangeable... It don't work on ore!

not when it emphasizes the weaker company sees market success versus the stringer company based off a blip of social media info that basically has nothing to do w fundamentals

Here is the post so we have proper context

You can make money both way. If it wsb pumps, ride until she bucks then get off and buy back once dust settles. Then let fundamentals take over... and they will
