Your a wise man connecting the dots surrounding Encompass. Definitely seems the Arkansa and / or east Texas are going to be major players, the P.R. coming should be EPIC for a great IBAT run.

Have a Happy New Year ! May it be filled with new adventures and good fortunes…

On a sad note, hopefully this nonsense attack on my home town of
New Orleans goes no further. Trump will be the commander again, it can't come soon enough to protect our country and not jeopardize our safety at the borders as the current administration has so neglected.

........On point as usual...........Insightful !........

True, I have been tracking and trading a few.

Freyr Battery, would be my first guess. Just because of the connection with Encompass Capital Advisors LLC (“Encompass”) which came to IBATF the same time as Jacob did.

The top share holder of Freyr is
Encompass Capital Advisors, LLC 13.46M Sep 30, 2024

Tesla's refinery does spodumene which is coming fom Sayona in Canada. Rumor is they could do brines later others say it will be lithium clays. We will get those answers this year.

Once Freyr Battery plant in Georgia is finished then the brines can flow.

Happy New Years everyone.
Last day for taxloss selloff.

IBATs Absorbent Durability is unmatched so far...Other DLEs will struggle to make it out of the lab to commercial scalabilty..IBAT will land multiple/ major contracts in 2025 IMHO.Hold on and enjoy the New Years! Next resistance level is .75..All things considered...All things are possible..Steady as she grows.

Great link Trader and Co...IBATs patented absorbent material can refreshed with more added fibers so that the original absorbent material(s) is back to close to original state ..Thus full replacement of the absornent material does not need to be..This is just what I read a whiles back from Burba...IBATs absorbent went thru the grind with US Mags highly contaminated brine..and passed with flying colors..It was a highly compromised brine.IBAT delivered a large amount of battery grade lithium to US Mag.IBAT did not get paid for that lithium,(not good lol), but set the stage for a very positive US Magnesium White Page Report on the results accomplished there. The absorbent material added increased the cost there, but one could not think that if the price of lithium was up a bit back earlier, that the IBAT plant would still be there producing battery grade high grade/ revenue..Since then US Mag has laid off 10,000 workers..Maybe they will come back in future when lithium prices go up..IBATs Burba has been improving absorbant material for over 40 years back to the sale to FMC in Chile, which has successfully been operating since back since 80s ??..burba was working with William Baldwin at Dow when that sale to FMC occured...Burba has come a long way since then...this post is for my opinions on my findings, but forgive me if im a little off..

It is all she has been talking about. From the minute they announced they were leaving US magnesium, she and the doc have been very clear that East Texas was the likely landing spot. Maybe arkansas.

NEW HORIZON= NEW BEGINNING
Did the new CEO drop a hint that the NEW HORIZON (BEGINNING) for IBAT is going to be in the Smackover with OIL and Gas Majors. Why would she (CEO) even bring up the Smackover as an example…
I Like the plural in "MAJORS" above and "PROJECTS" in the
WHAT NEXT paragraph below.
"MDLE plant and new plant construction projects"
Makes me think EXXON might be involved , EXXON did say they would disclose by year's end that they would pick a DLE.
EXXON doesn't need a MDLE they need a massive permanent MDLE or MDLE,s plants to supply what they already signed a MOU for.
Logic seems to be in the form of a subliminal message here.
WOW, I can't wait to find out in a P.R.

.........The Industry's in its infancy.........Our baby's taken its first steps.........Strong steps to be sure !.........Hope there's a "Run For The Roses" in its future...........

IBAT is Alpha for now..contracts are lined up or being lined up already. IMO.Stock is way undervalued..IBAT is on the move w no news..just the trades speak for themselves..Insiders buying bits..Lets see if the pps holds up at todays closing?

If I had to make a guess the Unit was moved and is working well enough for insiders to buy share.

Or the seller of the shares all summer long ran out of shares.

Shouldn't you be watching bitcoin❓️😅🤣😂

Agree with the New Years being bright! I also believe with what was said by the boss of AZL/ Prairee webinar..that with financing in the first quarter of 2025, that production of lithium would be acheived by years end..cant do that unless you can build a plant on those well pads in sasquatch 353,000 acres of high grade lithium in the brine, and thats fine..IMO..IBAT will secure that Prairee Project with a contract.IBAT also hired Prairee engineer Don Bender..Looks like once AZL gets financing,IBAT will get a contract at least with AZL.I was right about that contract customer in the western Us being Utah US Magnesium...Lots of you thought the same opinion back then also..So $omething is cooking...and IBAT is Good Looking..IMO other deals with major companies will happen as well..Smackover and over seas..IBAT is first and foremost as of now..DLE is the future in lithium production.Trump will help bolster that.IMO..

Something might be up and would be nice to see one of the big boys pulling the trigger to finally sign a contract with IBAT. Lot of new Made in Amerca battery plants coming online and will need a American mined/processed lithium supply to fulfill their obligation and recieve goverment incentives
EXXON, OCCIDENTAL, BERKSHIRE ... would be nice.
Company signing major contracts after the first of the year can benefit from a more stable business environment, clearer financial projections, a fresh budgeting cycle, less holiday-related distractions, and the potential to leverage negotiation leverage due to the new year's "fresh start" mentality, allowing for potentially better terms and conditions on contracts.
Key benefits:
Financial clarity:
By waiting until after the new year, companies have a better understanding of their upcoming financial situation, including revenue projections and budget allocations, which can lead to more informed contract negotiations.
Budgeting ease:
New fiscal years often bring fresh budgets, making it easier to allocate funds for new contracts without having to worry about exceeding existing budget limitations.
Reduced holiday distractions:
The holiday season can disrupt business operations and focus, so waiting until after the holidays allows for more concentrated attention on contract details and negotiations.
Negotiation advantage:
Some companies may be more open to favorable terms at the beginning of a new year, creating potential leverage for better deals.
Strategic planning:
With the new year comes a chance to reassess business strategies and priorities, allowing for more deliberate contract signing aligned with overall company goals.

Something must be wrong......




Did they convert themselves into a SPAC or sumpthin' ?


Has RUMBLE maybe bought them or something like that ?

Modular extraction apparatus
Patent number: 12172129
https://patents.justia.com/assignee/international-battery-metals-ltd
Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for extracting desired chemical species including, without limitation, lithium, specific lithium species, and/or other chemical compounds from input flows in a modular unit. The input flows may be raw materials in which lithium metal and/or lithium species are dissolved and/or extracted. The apparatuses and methods may include daisy chain flow through separate tanks, a column array, and/or combinations thereof.
Type: Grant
Filed: January 12, 2024
Date of Patent: December 24, 2024
Assignee: International Battery Metals, Ltd.
Inventor: John L. Burba

China is banning the export of Gallium and Germanium to the US. Both elements are known to be present in Brine in varying small amounts. Wonder if Burba's DLE.units are one trick ponies or if it would be possible to have in-line filtration units?
First unit filters out the Lithium...second Gallium...third Germanium and then the depleted brine is returned to the water table. Don't know if they'd be able to find brine that has high enough concentrations to make extraction by this method cost effective. Probably should stick with lithium for now.
Oh! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas...IBAT is mentioned as one of the Key Players in the DLE Sector
Several companies and startups are leading the charge in advancing and commercializing DLE technology:

Merry Christmas to All! Best wishes for health and happiness and good tidings for the New Year! ..

Happy Holidays Trader..Enjoy! Good things coming for IBAT investors in the New Year..IMO..

You all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I'll be traveling for a week or so.

Today, I had the privilege of ringing the TMX Group (TSXV) opening bell to celebrate International Battery Metals Ltd.’s listing (TSXV: IBAT). This milestone reflects the dedication of our team and the growing recognition of our commercialized Direct Lithium Extraction technology as a game-changer for sustainable lithium supply. Today’s festivities cap an incredible year for IBAT, the world’s first modular DLE system and first commercial DLE operation in North America.

I’m grateful to our partners, investors and colleagues who share our vision for innovation and resilience in lithium extraction. This is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for IBAT!

RE: Draft Rules for Informal Comment, 16 TAC 3.82
Dear Rules Coordinator,
TerraVolta Resources (“TerraVolta”) is one of the largest lithium rights stakeholders in Texas.
TerraVolta has assembled a substantial acreage position in East Texas with rights to produce lithium
entrained in brine in the Smackover Formation. TerraVolta has been building this position since early
2022 and was one of the first operators in Texas taking leases that targeted lithium contained in brine.
These leasing efforts continue today, as TerraVolta is actively leasing acreage to support multiple
facilities in East Texas. TerraVolta utilizes direct lithium extraction, a process that involves selectively
removing lithium ions and molecules from a brine solution. This technology ensures high production
with minimal environmental impact by requiring less land and water than traditional lithium recovery
methods.
TerraVolta would like to thank the Railroad Commission of Texas (the “Commission”) for its
work developing the proposed new Section 3.82 of Volume 16 of the Texas Administrative Code and
corresponding revisions to ancillary statewide rules (the “Proposed SWR 3.82”). From the draft, it is
clear that Commission staff has worked diligently to draft a rule that could enable operators and
stakeholders to unlock vast economic resources to this great state.
Below are TerraVolta’s comments regarding specific aspects of the Proposed SWR 3.82.

I. Comments on Clarification of Proposed Rule’s Scope
We respectfully request a clear statement regarding the exclusion of Rule §3.81 operations
from the scope and requirements of Rule §3.82. Specifically, we seek clarification that Class III
wells, as defined under Rule §3.81, are intended solely for operations related to extraction of brine
by the solution of a subsurface salt formation, while brine production projects and Class V wells
under Rule §3.82 are explicitly focused on the extraction of brine from naturally occurring aquifers
and the reinjection of fluids post-mineral extraction. This distinction is critical to ensure proper
regulatory compliance and avoid confusion when applying the rules. Furthermore, we request
specific clarification that the requirements under §3.81 and §3.82 do not apply to the injection of
fluid for the purpose of leaching a cavern for the underground storage of hydrocarbons.
A clear understanding of the applicable operations and scenarios will help provide greater
certainty for project operators and ensure that both classes of wells, extraction of brine operations
and leaching of caverns for underground hydrocarbon storage are appropriately enforced under the
applicable rules.

after wayching that webinar with heads of AZL, I was already despositing funds to invest in AZL..They are ready , set, Go and will secure financing to produce high grade lithium bi before the end of 2025.I also believe the dle that they will use is IBATs..Who can build a dle withing a year or less that can be upscaled to produce alot more than 6 mt...Thats IBAT..Just an opinion but im now buying at least a measilly $1000 worth of AZL.I believe they are poised to do alot more than .012..

Thanks trader for the AZL Webinar..It was highly informative, and so very positive in not only in the 3 new pads drilled out already in Sasuatch land(350 thousand acres of the Prairre Project)...DLE will be used in extracting from the oil brine..Whch DLE??..financing next up, building a plant..DLE?..the production of lithium bi, by end of 2025..Trump will be a plus for mining companies..Lithium prices will recover.. Looking good for a hook up for IBAT..IMO.

Turn brine (or whatever the solution was called at US Mag.) into lithium or water into wine?

It's all about this chart.

I know you are in crypto land. One would say that crypto is Alchemy developed by the CIA to launder money from all their scams. The Ukraine money is proping up the crypto.

Lots of good info on the leaseing of land well production and how many wells per pad
Three wells at one pad = 6000 MT
Three pads with different amount of wells.
Pay attention to the answer and questions at the end.

Ringing the bell is a standard perk everyone gets soon after they list on the TSXV. There is a standard opening ceremony, small hype, video, an entire package that everyone gets.

..........An acorn about to become a mighty oak.........

No mattter what...who ever gets to ring the opEning bell will be cheered on by the entire stock exchange..So it will be an exciting day foR IBAT/IBAT investors!

I would think that there have not been many, if any, .20 cents stock priced compamies that have opened up the morning bell at US stock exchange..Its not a bad thing..but why?...Maybe this is not going to be a .20 company for too long.New Years we need some news and buying at the ask..

My guess to why they would want IBAT to ring the opening bell on Dec 17th is that they have high regards for IBAT..I would like to say that IBAT is getting some well deserved attention..Seems So.anyways its an honor.Who will represent IBAT on te 17th?

BEWARE !......



It's voodoo / witchcraft engineering where only the most evil dwell !


* Note ; According to IBATs' share price


Plus also : It would've been better for them to have wheeled in, a wheelbarrow-full (instead of a small plastic bag)


It seems to ME that they could use some of my marketing expertise.

.

Why a .20 cent stock would be asked to ring the bell is foolish in the first place.

Texas bell ringer???

No news until next year? Probably just me, but I think that might be the best reason yet to postpone ringing the bell.
