THE HY POWER MINERAL REFINERY
The United States is heavily reliant on imports of certain refined mineral commodities that are vital to the Nation’s security and economic prosperity. Dependency of the United States on foreign sources is a strategic vulnerability to adverse foreign government action and/or natural disaster, and other events that can disrupt supply of these key minerals.
Pursuant to Executive Order 13817 of December 20, 2017, “A Federal strategy to ensure Secure and Reliable Supplies of Critical Minerals” presented a draft list of 35 mineral commodities deemed critical including almost 20 known to be in the Salton Sea brines: Arsenic, Helium, Indium, Lithium, Magnesium, Manganese, Niobium, Platinum Group Metals, Potash, the Rare Earth Elements group, Rubidium, Strontium, Tantalum, and Tellurium.
DIAL-A-METAL™ advanced lithium recovery & refinery systems
STAGE IS SET FOR ADVANCED LITHIUM RECOVERY AND REFINERY, (“Dial-A-Metal™”)
With 1,300+ acres in Salton Sea, Imperial County, California, Hy Power seeks to maximize the great potential its land and minerals have to offer. Hy Power Salton Sea is set to go with its “Green” Advanced Systems and Technology to produce Lithium and other strategically required minerals.
The primary mineral recovery target is Lithium, our focus for the foreseeable future as the need for it continues to grow. In addition to batteries, Lithium is also a principal component in many other fundamental products such as concrete, glass, ceramics, and lubricants.
The Hy Power team of professionals developed its proprietary Systems and Technologies to establish the functions of extraction and refining of minerals, Dial-A-Metal™, into a complimentary system. The Dial-A-Metal ™ extraction of minerals to product finishing completes the cycle for multiple applications.
Hy Power's Mineral Manifold
Hy Power plans to extract and refine critical strategic elements from the hot thermal brines on the property owned at the Salton Sea in Imperial County California. The company plans to use the most productive and environmentally friendly methods available, employing long-term assets to produce long term cashflows. The company’s approach is to combine the minerals that are in highest demand and profitability with the flexibility to pivot to other elements when markets change. Hy Power’s process is based on renewable energy from a variety of local and onsite sources. The 1300+ acres on the shores of the Salton Sea provide unique access to both heat and cooling resources to produce the products at the lowest cost of goods sold prices to assure profitable markets for the other elements and the Lithium compounds.
Comparing the Hy Power methods to their competition which one do you think is the future of mineral extraction?
Brine Evaporation

The Right energy
From a Duck Club in the early 1900’s, the land located at the Salton Sea, County of Imperial, California, has been privately held.
Hy Power Salton Sea, Inc., plans to develop the 1,300 + acres of fee land to its fullest potential of strategic minerals and gases.
The unique combination of Company Mineral recovery technologies was previously unknown. Today much has changed with the ability to apply the most advanced recovery techniques to gather the elements in the Geothermal fluids that are part of the earth’s hot interior and essential to Hy Power’s Mandate to provide domestic sustainable, critical strategic elements.
The Property location to the seismic fault allows use of the geothermal heat to facilitate recovery of commercial grade Lithium. These Lithium compounds are expected to be sold as well as other mineral and gas extracted, using the geothermal underground steam to power the extraction and refinement.
The most ecofriendly method of obtaining strategic elements is through solution extraction from hot ore grade brines. The selection (Dial A Metal™) only selects the elements needed and reinjects the unused brine back into the injection wells to be recycled later.
The primary target is Lithium to refine it into the materials that are in very high demand as essential ingredients in rechargeable batteries and many other critical uses in fundamental products like concrete glass ceramics and lubricants.
The Hy Power prime location is 1300+ acres held by the company, including all mineral and water rights, sits on the edge of one of the largest reservoirs of ore grade Lithium brines in the Americas. The property has surface water features with significant concentrations of Lithium.
The Hy Power plan to recover this energy is critical to the primary goal of creating non-polluting recovery systems for Lithium and other strategic rare earth elements (REE). The Geothermal energy is the future of green power around the clock, without noxious emissions, in addition to the abundant Solar potential.
Hy Power recognizes its commitment to the earth and all who are here how and in the future. There are many economic and environmental benefits to our Project that the community at large and businesses individually may benefit, which include significant sustainable job creation and capital infusions into local communities and the county’s tax base. Also, funds become available for educational courses and reskilling which can open up better job opportunities. We are intending to have our development to be exemplary throughout the entire system as we progress forward.
To maximize resources of the 1300+ acres, land use is being established for mineral mining and refinery, solar and geothermal development with the balance allocated to the Energy Park. Hy Power intends to have tenant manufacturers producing products complementary to the minerals being produced. Energy requirements to be met by the buildout of a solar farm and Geothermal Turbine, to support power requirements of the park, its tenants and Hy Power facilities.
Strong Work Ethic and Dedicated People.
Our management and staff are dedicated to producing renewable clean mineral resources. Today’s geothermal mineral extraction and Lithium recovery technologies far exceed the efficiencies available a few years ago.
The Company intends to take advantage of these changes and apply advanced recovery techniques gathering the Lithium available from the geothermal brines, which are heated by the hot mantel beneath the property at the Salton Sea. This attribute is essential to fulfill our Mandate to provide sustainable, renewable clean Lithium extraction and recovery of strategic critical minerals.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Located on the edge of the San Andreas and San Jacinto Faults, the Salton Sea was created in 1909 from an accidental release of water from the Colorado River basin.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
It requires exceptional people to create a smarter way to produce lithium. Starting 4 years ago the crunching of data, the Hy Power team explored hundreds of methods. These reliable sources allowed our Team to arrive at a solution. Dial-a-Metal™, a “Green” solution to extract Lithium
from the Brine without damaging the heart
and soul of our planet,
Mother Earth.
LOCATION
The Salton Sea sits on the edge of the San Andreas fault, in a Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA). The surface manifestations of this property include mud volcanoes, calcite deposits, rhyolite mounds, surface hot pools with significant amounts of Lithium, all of which indicates mineral rich property.
SALTON SEA GEOTHERMAL
The Salton Sea area has exceptional geothermal resources including hot ore grade brines earning the designation Lithium Valley by the State of California.
MINERAL RESOURCES
The proven ore grade brine demonstrates the large mineral reserves including Lithium and over 20 other strategic elements in a reservoir considered to be over 100 square kilometers
