Me neither, until today.  Just took a quick look.  I probably haven't been back to the company site for the same reason that you have avoided it.  Things looking pretty dismal lately for LAC and LAAC.  Emotional exhaustion of an investor.  

Well, one thing to consider is that construction began at Thacker Pass in late March of 2023.  It is only a couple of months and some change until we will be into the 2nd year of the construction process.  Last year we were thinking about the "Construction Season" as it applied to how quickly of slowly Judge Du made her decision.  Lots of things have happened since then.  Some good, some not so good.

Recycling and Reusing Process Water to Minimize Environmental Impacts

Worth a few minutes to read.

A small sampling from the article:  "WATER RECYCLING

The process flowsheet design for Thacker Pass will have efficiencies designed throughout the entire process that leverages filtration, evaporation and centrifuge technologies, to maximize the reuse and recycling of processed water and limit the amount of water obtained from natural sources.

Based on a detailed water cycle assessment, any water withdrawn for the operation is expected to be recycled and reused an average of approximately seven times within the production process. The ZLD design is an extensive commitment because it means all processed water, including water filtered from tailings, must be recycled in the site’s production process. Thacker Pass lithium processing will recycle 85% of the total water used."

Onward through the FOG!
