    AI-powered satellites point to a massive lithium resource at a Canadian project

    Satellite-linked AI analysis suggests Quebec’s Cisco lithium project could contain about 329 million metric tons of ore, helping guide new drill targets within days.

      And we’ll just keep shipping it out of the country for pennies for other countries to make value added products.

              The US is run by a pedophile ring, so other countries being run by drug cartels isn’t that insane. Big Maple is everywhere.

                      It’s one of the most abundant elements out there

                      I mean, it’s not. Either in the crust or the universe - stellar nucleosynthesis skips straight to carbon.

                      Your point still stands, though, since abundance is only one of the factors that goes into how easy something is to recover.

                      It’s 31st in the crust, there’s more than Lead.

                      Then it’s all over the world in other areas in higher concentrations like in brines (the easiest way for us to get it) or clays, and there’s over 200 billion tons of it in the ocean. Granted the ocean stuff would take some figuring out how to get, but it’s a ridiculous amount.

                      Whenever we go looking for it, we keep finding vast reserves of it.

                      Such as this just this month: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/1-5-trillion-lithium-deposit-114805186.html?guccounter=1

                      Edit: for the sea water stuff, capturing it as a side product of desalination or a next step in desalination might be a starting way to begin extracting it without massively increasing costs as some of the costs will already be part of desalination, which could help bring desalination costs down via another revenue stream.

                              You want some of the impacts of making those value added products in your back yard?

                              A key reason why Canada ships its oil, lumber, and minerals elsewhere for processing is because there is a human cost to processing these things that moat people don’t want to pay.

                              Also, where clean processing is possible it makes processed materials cost-prohibitive when you can just buy the stuff from jurisdictions where health and environmental laws are lax or non-existent and you can process however you like.

                              Well, tax the dirty processors and eliminate them from the supply chain, you might suggest! That’s not easier either, see eliminating forced labour from the supply chain as an example.

                              I’m not saying nothing should or could be done about Canada’s extraction-only economy, just that it isn’t as easy it may appear at first glance.

                                      This isn’t gold. The value comes from the extraction part. That’s the really expensive and dirty part. It’s like salt in the ocean: insanely abundant but prohibitively expensive to extract.

                                      The value comes from the material extracted being sold for profit in some way.
