A NEW weekly series airing on Thursdays until this lock-out ENDS!

BORON, Calif. — Hundreds of workers remain locked out of the world's second-largest borate mine in a contract dispute.

Call-in Number: (646) 200-3474 http://BoraxMiners.com

While the LOCK-OUT of BoraxMiners continues, the show will explore other methods of mineral farming; including steam flooding of ore deposits and use of acids and oxidizers, to extract ore from rich mineral deposits. Discussion on uses of certain minerals from chemicals to pharma; fertilizers and cleansers made from the ore in one location or the other. What other uses can be derived from one element as a solid or a liquid; what about using other minerals in one area and using a different mineral in a different region; depending on the abundance of one mineral and a wisdom approach to only using raw materials where they can be harvested without conflict?
