An almost inexhaustible reserve of lithium discovered in Canada

Incoming reclassification of maple syrup as a WMD.
“This ‘syrup’ comprises a clear and present danger to the United States of America. Operation ‘Freedom Fries’ has been authorised!”

That’s a perfect description of Carney’s MO.
You’re showing your bias. That was Canada’s position well before Carney was on the scene.

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.

That potential would place Cisco among the largest hard-rock lithium prospects now being tracked in the James Bay region.
That’s way less impressive than the headline makes it seem.

I know there’s been lots of headlines in the past like OMG there’s not enough lithium! It’s never been true.
It’s one of the most abundant elements out there, it’s everywhere. It was always more about what reserves we knew about, but when what we knew about wasn’t going to be enough, people go looking, and it’s abundant.
Also the more uses there are for it, the more profitable it is to extract from these methods and the better we get at it, the cheaper it is to extract, which further opens up even more options.
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.

I hope y’all don’t mine it with child and slave labor like everywhere else.
Canada is a first world country, so no.
-
And it belongs to the people of Canada. Right?
Depends where it is. Where it is in this case, it seems more likely than not it’s on Crown land, so yes, until a producer buys it from us.

“Almost inexhaustible”
Humanity: Hold my beer.

Wouldn’t wonder if the US discovers tomorrow that Canada is run by a drug cartel

We only do that with agricultural workers and Tim Horton’s restaurants.

Lithium is quite rare. Essentially all the lithium that exists was created at the big bang, and since then the total supply has been diminishing with each generation of stars - they fuse lithium into heavier elements.
There’s less lithium all the time

I suppose it’s a bit like diamonds, which are actually really abundant, just not always very accessible.

Finally, good news for people with bipolar!
Maybe Alzheimer’s as well. There is new research on lithium that shows promise for that.

…AND BC lumber, AND Ontario steel, AND maritime fish, AND everybodies’ water and minerals, etcetc
I call it “outsourcing profits”.
Nooo imma pretend I didn’t read this so Canada can stay as awesome as I thought it was a minute ago

That’s a perfect description of Carney’s MO.
Weird I don’t remember Carney being PM for the last 50 plus years. Its Canadas MO doesn’t matter who is in charge.

Why not criticize them all??

Now do silver

So extract all the value and give it to rich ppl while leaving everyone else to clean up the mess left behind?
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.
