Comments on: Salar De Uyuni: Will Lithium Turn Bolivia Into the Next Middle East? http://www.greenpacks.org/2009/04/10/salar-de-uyuni-will-lithium-turn-bolivia-into-the-next-middle-east/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:43:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lithium Six http://www.greenpacks.org/2009/04/10/salar-de-uyuni-will-lithium-turn-bolivia-into-the-next-middle-east/comment-page-1/#comment-10983 Lithium Six Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:58:52 +0000 http://www.greenpacks.org/?p=4545#comment-10983 All you need to do to give Bolivia back it's salt flat after mining is slurry everything except the extracted Lithium back and let gravity see to it that it's perfectly flat again. Frankly, since it all goes back exactly to the way it was and NO tangible life form gets even slightly disturbed (nothing lives there) getting overly wrought is a sign of some sort of mental disorder. Next people will complain about mining on the Moon or asteroids even if they were returned to their original state. "Oh the horrors!" Some people just have issues. . . about everything.

However, the potential for Uyuni has been greatly overstated given the state of knowledge we have of the resource. Lithium mining is difficult and the processing in the case of Uyuni will be tricky. Further deep drilling exploration is required before we actually can determine its true potential to actually produce lithium carbonate for batteries. At this time our estimate of the lithium resource has a very wide range – true it could be large but it also could turn out to be a minor source of lithium! TRU Group Inc - Lithium Consultants.
