Apologies for my half thought out reply to your need for the correct information.
You’ll no doubt be relieved to learn that SEARLESITE is very different to a clay in a great deal of ways.
So fear not! INR’s mining technique allays Elon Musks specific kind of acid leaching concerns.
This fact has no doubt already placed us in a highly favored position, by the companies we currently deal with.
Elon would be equally concerned with Business models and Associates which is another box we have already ticked.

For your sole benefit (you seem to be the only one who is note up to speed on these facts) here is the full reply that I regret I didn’t have access to the other day.


This is an explanation of SEARLESITE
- INR’s source of Lithium & Borosilicates:

The structure of Searlesite contains sheets, consisting of kinked pyroxene-like polysilicate chains that are linked by (H2BO4) tetrahedra, classifying it as a phyllo-borosilicate. The silicate chains contain two crystallographically distinct Si sites, and the net formula of the anion is (H2BSi2O7)n with (H2BSi2O7) as repeating unit (Ghose and Wan, 1976). Note that we are using a sum formula for the anion. It may also be written as (BSiO5(OH)2), indicating that the two protons are bonded to oxygen atoms.@d4nvt
