@Barksy1,
intriguing!!!

Speculation
In a recent study, Mining Watch Canada, Red Mexicana de Afectados por la Minería and Colectivo Geo Comunes, warned about a group of small Canadian companies with alleged lithium projects in Mexico, which, however, are idle, but are used for implement speculation tactics to generate income on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The report of these organizations based in Canada and Mexico details that in the country there are 36 projects of foreign capital destined to the extraction of lithium, which are controlled by 10 companies, of which only three have real activities in the country: Bacanora, with the Sonora Lithium Project; Organimax, with three developments: La Salada, Santa Clara and Caliguey, and One World Lithium, with the El Salar del Diablo project.
Meanwhile, the companies with lithium projects in Mexico, but which are inactive, are: Radius Gold, Infinite Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium, Alien Metals, Zenith Minerals, Litio Mex, Pan American Lithium Corp and Zeox.
But what can you trust in the same article!
A source with knowledge of the Bacanora project in Sonora, who asked not to be cited, stressed that his plan is unfeasible, since it is a clay deposit, the concentration of lithium is very low, therefore, its extraction requires a large amount of energy, and at the moment there is no technology in the world that allows it to be carried out profitably.
