Li-Horizon: The Nomadic Mo dular

Habitation Tower

Due to the increasing demand for lithium to address the Climate Crisis, countries are exploring lithium presence in their own territories. In the hands of global mining corporations, new lithium prospections and expansion of existing mines are happening everywhere where lithium reserves are a possibility. A mix of public funding and private capital enables the deployment of small teams of professional and expensive machines that operate in a fast, precise, and nimble manner. They move fast, jobs are well paid, and require specific training to serve sophisticated automated processes with tight schedules and demanding results to the corporation shareholders. Contrary to the promise of local jobs and community investments, the only commitment mining companies share is one of efficient resource extraction and shareholder profits. Far are the times of company towns and community building, the only horizon is the increased return.

Abstract

Li-Horizon offers a new type of mobile habitation for mining exploration teams in barren lands. The system is conceptualized for easy and incremental deployment, optimizing systems, and reducing the footprint and local interaction of the mining team with the hosting communities. Time has come to test the system at Silver Peak, the exclusive source of lithium in the U.S. Silver Peak Valley, is poised to become the key national hub of Lithium Extraction. Li-horizon is located there. The nomadic structures provide a flexible and adaptive living and working environment for the exploration team allowings swift reconfiguration and relocation, aligning with the fast-paced demands of exploration. It also prioritizes the minimization of damage to land resources, ensuring that exploration activities have minimal long-term impact on the natural surroundings. Beyond this, these small, unintended markers become utility towers and nests for the following mining activity and wildlife alive.

The global perspective on the conditions of mining communities reveals a rather bleak or challenging situation. The living conditions, economic prospects, and overall well-being of these communities
