I may be reading the initial question wrong but this is not some free flowing river its in rock or a conglomerate under a few 100 meters of other rock. the brine will not rapidly flow anywhere (thus the porosity tests (permeability) tests that get done. In production they would need many many drill holes to get the brine out in suitable volume.

if the stuff was free flowing then you would expect brine all over the place and at an even grade, or worst still it would all flow away and you would never see any having washed away down some river.

I think the announcement was quite clear in fault dropping a block down lower but at this stage its all guess work from geos trying to figure out what happened. so they have said a drop of 300 meters and they expect brine to have dropped the same amount. So to me this will show us how well the geos are figuring this system out, which is i'm sure complex.

So they drill first hole in this section and make the statement its dropped 300 meters lets wait for the hole to end and then see if the Guess was right. If right then darn good geos to guess right (guess cause they haven't actually drilled it yet).

its still all speculation right now (funny that as its a spec share cause we actually don't know whats there) The next hole might hit the reverse a block that has been lifted or one shoved sideways.

I say wait and see, and let them finish the holes and develop there models im in for the long haul on this one.
We can laugh at the day traders who jump in and out and be happy that the 4 million shares hopefully went to sticker hands or even better to POSCO or some other potential buyer.

And yes SRK are going to know more about this than any of us numb nuts on here (me included), so relax and wait.
