Hey Chris, I live in NC about 90 miles from the spodumene (lithium) and tin belt that runs through Cleveland, Gaston and Lincoln Counties. The Foote Mineral Company was a huge producer prior to its closure some years ago. As a mineral collector, we use to love visiting the quarry for the associated lithium and phosphates that the mine is famous for. The other big lithium mine is in neighboring Gaston called the LCA mine. It had allot of nice specimens as well. I hear that Elon Musk has invested in a new lithium mine near the LCA and its just getting started. We use to find spodumene (lithium aluminum inosilicate) in the area pegmatites sometimes even in road construction cuts, etc. The striated crystals and cleavages were usually tan to white sometimes light greenish to yellowish hues. A small amount of it was gemmy. Then there is the famous Hiddenite occurrence in Alexander county with the chromium rich variety of spodumene, hiddenite which was named after W.E. Hidden. The hiddenite was also associated with the finest North American emeralds as well.

Hi Chris. Thanks for all this information. Love your work! You've said in several videos that you always read your video comments, so I hope you do read this one :) I've recently started researching Lithium and rare earth elements to help me in picking resource sector stocks for investing in. One of the questions I have is how do I know if a particular ore grade is good or bad - for example you mention Greenbushes in Australia having 2.4% Lithium. What's the best grade know so far, and at what point is the grade likely to indicate that it's not worth mining? I know this is a big ask, but would you be able to do a video (or point me to some existing website) that discusses what min/max grades for each of the various precious elements would make a core sample indicative of a good or bad mining opportunity? I've been trying to search for this info with little success thus far, and it would great to know how to read company test drilling reports in order to identify a good investment. Thanks.

A video about different sorts of nickel deposits (sulfides vs laterites), and the difference between class 1 and class 2 nickel, would be cool. Or did you do a nickel video and I missed it? Back to lithium -- I understand there is lots of lithium in the McDermit Caldera, up on the Nevada-Oregon border. Clay type I think? How did that Li get there -- leaches out of the ash, or something? Is it safe to assume that Nevada, Oregon, and Idaho YHS calderas have all been prospected? Although come to think of it, the Idaho calderas in Snake River Plain are all buried by more recent volcanism, if memory serves. There is a cluster of calderas up in NW Nevada.
