Lithium Industry Connections is a meeting between a lithium clay junior miner, a lithium geological specialist, and a processing company with new technology adapted to lithium clays. Join us as we three discuss: 1. the state of the industry 2. the exploration project, 3. how the project fits into regional geological context, 4. the processing technology, 5. how the processing tech connects to the claystone, 6. a general conversation This is certainly an insider's perspective you won't want to miss! We'll see you there.
Meeting Overview The meeting involved introductions and discussions among professionals in the lithium and mineral processing industries. Participants shared their backgrounds, current projects, and insights into the geology and market dynamics of lithium and associated minerals.

Speaker 1: All right Speaker 2: Let's see. Yes, so we'll start with the intros. My name is Michael Kelly. I've spent my whole life in, California I'm in the Sacramento area Speaker 2: and I used to be a electronic technician. Speaker 2: I spent about 11 years in military simulators Speaker 2: and Then I went to work for Intel Speaker 2: and I was in product validation So I validated that the product meets all the design goals Speaker 2: and giving the green light to manufacturing Speaker 2: in the latest part Speaker 2: I worked in the clocking center of excellence and I did the timing of all the clocks on phone chips and server chips. Speaker 2: And so boatloads of data, boatloads of data. Speaker 2: So then I retired in 2016 Speaker 2: and went back to school for geology Speaker 2: and I worked at lithium I worked on Ion Ears Speaker 2: Rhyolite Ridge lithium project with Speaker 2: Mark Travis was there for part of it. He was on a hydrology part. Speaker 2: And Speaker 2: then I did some offshore gigs. I did some hydrology gigs with Speaker 2: new fields as who I was being contracted by. Speaker 2: And I did a year and a half in Fairbanks. Speaker 2: And lately, I've been looking for lithium in Nevada Speaker 2: or all around the West and Speaker 2: we're looking also into Speaker 2: uranium now because the lithium markets a little bit flooded. Speaker 1: All right, Speaker 1: I'm James, James DiGrafia, Speaker 1: a lithium geologist Speaker 1: in this market. Speaker 1: By training And by passion, Speaker 1: I started with Speaker 1: the USGS, Speaker 1: obviously I was in volcano seismic hazards, Speaker 1: was working internationally with the Saudis, Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, Speaker 1: the dual program, but Speaker 1: several earthquakes, I always liked mining ...
