So ready for this activity in NE Texas!

It's a work in progress especially the direct extraction plants/equipment.  I'd be happy for that technology and first design projects get proven and tweeked before coming to E TX.  Drilling the wells, once the right combination of lithium concentration and water volume locations are identified, is the easy part.  What I'm wondering is how the brine is transported from well to plant.  I expect that it may be pretty caustic.

Yes I have leased my minerals down at Macedonia and waiting for this to get started. Sounds like fun.

The land man that engaged us about signing a lease told us that the company would build the facility for processing and then build pipelines all throughout the areas of the smack over to get the brine water to that facility. Of course, then they have to pump that processed water back. It’s been a bit since he explained it— and I could be remembering wrong and he might have been guessing— with full disclosure that it was guessing. Like I said, it’s been awhile.

Thanks for posting this! I'm out of the loop on hearing any information about Columbia County since I live 4 hours away.
