Really bizarre to write or post an article saying this deposit was ‘discovered’. This is decade old news. I saw the headline and thought ‘oh nice that’s like a whole other Thacker Pass’ but it literally is just Thacker Pass.
Somebody needs to figure out a way to prevent people from upvoting headlines of articles they haven’t read because as far as I can tell there is absolutely no reason to post or upvote this.
The McDermitt Caldera is huge, Thacker Pass is inside it. 1.5 trillion is the valuation of the entire formation, I’m pretty confident the article is just being lazy rather than specific by calling it the ‘McDermitt Caldera in Oregon’.

The location being discussed:
It looks like there was some discussion that there might be lithium there a bit back, like in 2023, but this is not decade-old news.
