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?

Please, I would like to see chain-of-custody third party samples before jumping to conclusions.

    I am sure you are thinking of BreX.

    Other than Canadian investors and mining as a general theme, I cannot think of a single reason to link the two stories.

    Also, BreX never claimed “inexhaustible” anything and was certainly not “the last time” for anything either.

    Canada has more mining companies and mining investment than any country in the world. These kinds of discoveries are common-place. There have been many, many discoveries and success stories in the decades since BreX.

    And this is just another Lithium deposit. Not the biggest in the world and probably not even the biggest in the James Bay district.
