Geothermal Brine Well: Mile -Deep Drill Hole May Tap Ore -Bearing Magmatic
Water and Rocks Undergoing Metamorphism

ABSTRACT �, ma Chamber
A deep geothermal well in California has tapped a very saline brine extraordinarily high in heavy metals and
other rare elements; copper and silver are precipitated during brine production. Preliminary evidence
suggests that the brine may be pure magmatic water and an active ore -forming solution. Metamorphism of
relatively young rocks may also be occurring within accessible depths.

TR U Group Inc - Extraction of minerals
and metals from Geothermal steam
...there is a respectable concentration of
lithium... Magnesium (moderately high) however there is
also uranium present at 0.16% - this is a curiously high
concentration. we would focus first on the lithium as this is
the most valuable but other chemical compounds may also
be recovered for sale.
We also need to know how much of this steam is being
generated and for how long it will be available. If it is a
large quantity that would be available for at least twenty
years it may be worth further investigation.

disclosing to the Hawai'i State Health Dept.
that there is magma at the bottom 20 meters of that particular well .
"While reaming, the drill string became stuck in hyaloclastite fill

Rules on leasing and
drilling for geothermal
resources
§3264.14 How do I notify BLM of
accidents occurring on my I notify
BLM of accidents occurring on my
lease?
You must orally inform us of all
accidents that affect operations or
create environmental hazards within
24 hours of the accident. When you
contact us, we may require you to
submit a written report fully
describing the incident.
Mr Tanaka from the Bureau of Land Management stated that he was present and witnessed the
magma incident at the Ormat-PGV plant in October of 2005. Mr. Tanaka stated that Ormat-PGV
was not required to make an accident report because it was not an accident as Ormat was
intentionally trying to hit a magma chamber.

A supporter of native rights who frequently

The King electrified the palace on his birthday
in 1886. King Kalakaua sailed to San Francisco
on November 25,1890 and died on January 20,
1891. How could the King grant Hawaiian
Electric the franchise for electricity four
months after his death?
