Kim, Thank you for both clarifications. The "triple check" is certainly a smart move and keeps everyone honest in the process.

You mentioned that there are actually indications for over 100 metallic and non metallic elements at FL. Not to beat a dead horse on this, but are the 40 elements being tested selected because of some empirical data indicating they are good candidates for economic recovery from the brine and clay or is it just a standard broad band test?

Thanks again for your time and effort!

Tom F.

Kim,
Thanks for the quick response.

Since there are over 100 metallic elements present in the clay, will separating those elements in order to produce the targeted metals be more costly or more difficult?

What is the possibility that one or more of those elements will interfere with either detection or production of Lithium, boron, etc. and give us either a more difficult recovery process, or a high cost process?
