    We need a government with the balls to nationalize this shit, and charge for every single gram that’s being extracted. And do the same with every other natural resource, including oil.

      Depends where it is. Where it is in this case, it seems more likely than not it’s on Crown land, so yes, until a producer buys it from us.

    That potential would place Cisco among the largest hard-rock lithium prospects now being tracked in the James Bay region.

    That’s way less impressive than the headline makes it seem.

    Wasn’t the last time a Canadian company discovered an “inexhaustable supply” of some mineral it was a gold scam that was one of the biggest mining industry scams in history that scammed people out of their pensions?
