"Olaroz : That one pond area turning "brown ?"My guess, findinggems...??
'Muddy, rain-water runoff', into that particular pond.
If you note the 10 days date-stamp difference, between the two photos, and particularly, the 'SOLID, and ..LOW' clouds appearing in the earliest photo, and the large ..increase in the size of the ..'muddy brown water-pool' shown in the bottom, right-hand quadrant, of the latter photo, coupled with the ..change of color, from 'White' (ie, Salt), ..back to, ..'Blue' (ie, Water), of the ..contents of the evaporation pools appearing in the lower quadrant of the photos, then it's a fair indication that all of those evaporation pools, have actually been filled, ..again, with ..liquid, ie, ..rain-water, as a result of precipitation from the heavy low clouds seen in the earliest photo.
What that means of course, is a longer period of time now, waiting, for that ..extra pond moisture to evaporate off, ..again.
However, as the old saying goes, ,,"every cloud has a Silver-lining"
and in this case, it simply means that, ..even less, Lithium, will now be available for sale to the world's Battery makers, ..for an ..even longer, period..!
Gee, I wonder ..what effect, ..that, will have upon the prices already, being offered, for supply, of Lithium that ..is, ..now, available..??
Of course, ..Spodumene, doesn't worry about getting wet, from passing rain squalls..!
I wonder how that ..progress on James Bay, ..is going...??
