I hope this doesn't ruin peoples lifes. And if it affects anyone in Canada, I hope their revisit those laws on environmental pollution. There's a reason why all the mining companies are in that country. Ecocide in third world countries is driven by that "blind spot" in their laws and I'm certain the majority of canadians don't have the least idea of their complicity.

We need a government with the balls to nationalize this shit, and charge for every single gram that's being extracted. And do the same with every other natural resource, including oil.

“Almost inexhaustible”

Humanity: Hold my beer.

uh oh

inb4 US bombs Canada for some lame excuse of a reason

This is just an ad for a satellite exploration company. It is not even that big a deal.

From the article, “That potential would place Cisco among the largest hard-rock lithium deposits now being tracked in the James Bay region.”

So, not even the biggest in the area.

Also, Sodium Ion is about to make Lithium much less of a big deal.

Still great economically but hardly as world changing as the headline makes out.

America: “That’s ours! We called it!”

Incoming reclassification of maple syrup as a WMD.

"Inexhaustible"

Humans: hold my beer

USA:

Great! Let’s sell this off to multinationals ASAP so we can accelerate pillaging the land without consultation, outsource the jobs and ensure the fewest Canadians benefit from the windfall.

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

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.

People of canada should get dividents from profit

what a godawful website

thanks for the blocklist addition

Sounds like a dictatorship that needs McLiberated™

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.

Are you folks interested in some freedom!?

Asking for your neighbors to the south.

/s, just in case it wasn't obvious.

Finally, good news for people with bipolar!

And it belongs to the people of Canada. Right?

Don't tell trump
