Nice hustle, #Jadarite, and maybe you’ll have better luck if we find more deposits.

Oh my gosh. These are both super cool. Ilmenite is amazing, and I love titanium...but I think I'm gonna vote for the super unusual #Jadarite, which is a lithium borate.
Go vote #Jadarite!!! 🤍🏞🤍

You can find #Ilmenite in heavy mineral black sands and even on the Moon, while #Jadarite in just one lake bed in Serbia. Are you going for widespread or unique in this #OreCup match?

Are you cheering on #Ilmenite, titanium ore of aircraft parts and artificial knees, or #Jadarite, lithium & boron ore of rechargeable batteries and thin smartphone screens?

My vote goes to #Jadarite because it will probably be mined in the future to obtain enough lithium to electrify our future 🔋🥰
It’s titanium ore #Ilmenite vs lithium & boron ore #Jadarite. Both produce lightweight metals essential for advanced technologies, but only one will progress to the #OreCup semifinals!

#OreCup R1M3 is black & angular #Ilmenite vs white & jagged #Jadarite.

#Jadarite is a unique and valuable Li and B ore that would require large quantities of fresh water and generate liquid and airborne pollution. Will organized public opposition effectively hold a government-sanctioned mining consortium accountable for protecting the environment?

A short press release from June about #Jadarite.
I think it has my vote. I'm not normally a fan of complicated recipes, but with only one known source? Awww. It might be lonely.
