an overall 5-percent loss in the value of mineral fuels. However, production
of natural gas liquids increased in value. 
 In June Lithium Corporation of America, Inc., (LCA) was merged into Gulf
Resources & Chemical Corp. and was to operate as a subsidiary of the
latter company. The Great Salt Lake Minerals & Chemical Corp. (GSL) was
formed by LCA and Salzdetfurth, A.G., to produce minerals from Great Salt
Lake. A system of evaporation ponds was completed near Ogden at a total cost
of $9 million. According to the company annual report, anticipated annual
production from the brines will approximate 225,000 tons of 
potassium sulfate, 100,000 tons or more of sodium sulfate, up to 350,000
tons of magnesium chloride, and very large quantities of salt. Total cost
of the evaporating ponds and the chemical processing complex was estimated
at $26 million. 
 LCA retained title to the concentrated brines left after processing by GSL.
Annual recovery is expected to be 5,000 tons of lithium products and 2,000
tons of elemental bromine. These facilities, scheduled for construction in
the early 1970's, will cost about $4 million.
