Yes @3steps, in rereading our 3rd Quarterly Report, I wondered about that- their mention of amblygonite specifically. From page 9:
"In mid-January 2021, the Company was issued with a US patent for its process technology for lithiumrecovery from phosphate minerals, which include amblygonite. The patent adds a further processtechnology to the Company’s suite of technologies."
As it's mentioned again in yesterday's quarterly, a quick Google search revealed that amblygonite is found in:
- the Pala district of San Diego County, California
- the Black Hills of South Dakota
- the White Picacho district in Arizona
- small amounts in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Maine, Connecticut and New Hampshire
Then from a mineral site, amblygonite sample reference #3:Chemical AnalysisHide
https://www.mindat.org/min-189.htmlOxide wt%:
1 2 1 P2O5 45.05 % 45.85 % 2 Al2O3 36.10 % 37.90 % 3 Li2O 7.15 % 6.20 % 4 Na2O 1.50 % 2.70 % 5 F 9.60 % 8.70 % 6 Total: 99.4 % 101.35 % Sample references:

Communications of the Geological Survey of South West Africa/Namibia, 4, 15-19. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmblygonitePast announcements on Karibib mentioned a minor presence of amblygonite. Perhaps the present drilling campaign will turn up more, especially as you say, as it can contain up to 10% lithium (from Wikipedia). Also that the crystals can be enormous. The largest measured was 7.62 × 2.44 × 1.83 m3 and weighed ~102 tons. Hooley dooley.
