In the lithium mining areas, has there been any discovery of Eakerite? I’ve collected at the Foote mine in Kings Mountain, North Carolina and have found nice Eaketite crystals in the vugs there. It is named for the chemist / geologist Jack Eaker and to my knowledge has not been found at any other locales.
The company that owns Greenbushes is Talison,it,s made up from two major companies,a chinese company which I can't recall their name and Abermerle I think it is,a large U.S.company.They first started mining Spodumene in the mid 80s at Greenbushes.It is the largest and purist hardrock Lithium mine in the world.
This is a superb lecture, thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for!!!
Great information, thank you Mark
So underrated!

The chinese company is Tianqi, which shares a 51% ownership of Talison with IGO, an ASX listed mining company. Albemarle owns the remaining 49%.
