These other companies AND Nevada Lithium Resources will (over time) figure out how to exploit these secondary materials. Even if recovery rates are < 50%, the incremental value on 3M tonnes of tiny concentrations of REEs being processed per yr is very substantial

With adding Ree processing could this trigger more rigorous environmental impact studies, potentially delaying the project's?

The REEs + Cesium / Rubidium is 100% icing on the Lithium / boron cake. Wow -- I had no idea that boron prices have doubled... Excellent.

Some investors fear the bore hole mining risk. Is this a deal breaker risk, or if you throw more money at bore hole mining will it almost certainly work? If REEs, Li, boron, cesium, rubidium are payable, you could very easily afford to throw more money at bore hole mining (if necessary).

Does the new findings strengthen Bonnie Claire’s attractiveness to U.S.-based battery supply chain partners or government-backed buyers?

With the uptick in lithium prices from $9-$10k to $19k/tonne in just a matter of months have you been getting more calls from potential strategic investors?

Have you had talks with Jonathan Evans or other suitable buyers about partnerships or acquisition of the Bonnie Claire Project?

Has the doubling in the boron price attracted any new interest from boron industry players?

Does this multi-commodity profile increase the likelihood of an acquisition or strategic takeout?

Could oil/gas service companies be helpful with emerging bore hole mining methods? Besides 1 or a few uranium companies in Canada, is anyone else using bore hole mining? A lot of development in BHM could/should happen over the next 5 years

The US government has been looking to take stake in companies like the DOE deal with LAC. Is this something that Nevada Lithium Resources would consider to get those DOE grants?

Do you have an idea about the amount or percentage of REE containing dirt that will be extracted?

REEs are famous for being tied together and very difficult to separate efficiently. But we have 5+ years of numerous companies working on this challenge. We don't need the answer today or next year we have time. Solutions are coming.

excellent summary

By the way, I speak with dozens of mgmt. teams. The reported interest of the U.S. gov't in critical materials & REEs is real, and there's a perceived urgency. Companies with more irons in the fire, (Li, boron, cesium, rubidium, REEs) have more chances to land gov't grants

NVLH has more chances now with the U.S. gov't, but no assurances. And, as Stephen says, it will take considerable time to get across the finish line.

What are the next two concrete milestones investors should watch to validate the boron opportunity? What does success look like for shareholders over the next 12 months, and how does boron change that trajectory?

Listeners should note that Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) methods are [in my opinion] as risky or more than Bore Hole Mining risk. I strongly believe that. If everything else checks out, BHM will not be the factor that sinks a multi-billion dollar, critically important mining project!

Boron is like Flourspar, it is used in and needed for various products..Glass and Ceramics, Detergents and Cleaners, Electronics, Fire Retardants, Metallurgy (stele, copper) Nuclear Applications, Semiconductors, Health and Medical Uses >>Antiseptic and Antimicrobial, and Boron plays a role in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D metabolism and is linked to improved bone density and the reduction of osteoarthritis symptoms.
