Mark: Lithium can be produced from solids or brines. Brines are cheaper to produce. We won't know the cost of production until we know where and how high the concentrations of the various elements are. Separation of elements is once again dependant on the amount of a given element that is present. If you are looking at element "x" and it is economic at 10ppm (example) in a deposit by itself, it might be economic at 15ppm if it is mixed with elements "a,b,c,d and y", which have to be stripped away before element "x" can be concentrated. Therefore a rule of thumb would be, the more of an element that you have in a complex environment, the more likely it is to be economic. Regards, Kim W. Brasington
