[Videomart]

Western Lithium is developing its Nevada lithium deposit to support the new generation of hybrid/electric vehicles.

With one of the world's largest known deposits of lithium, the company is ideally positioned to enter the market as a major long term supplier of high quality lithium carbonate.



Western Lithium is developing its Kings Valley, Nevada lithium resource into potentially one of the world’s largest strategic, scalable and reliable sources of battery grade lithium carbonate.




The Kings Valley property has a National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate for the initial stage of development and in total hosts a historically estimated 11 million tonnes(1) of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). From this U.S.-based resource the company intends to produce approximately 25,000 tonnes per year of LCE starting in 2013, coinciding with the expected increase in the use of mobile electronics and the rise in production of lithium-ion batteries for hybrid/electric vehicles.
The project is located in Northern Nevada, which has a long history in the metals and industrial mineral mining industry and a well developed local infrastructure. The project is located close to paved roads, rail and power lines and within easy reach of west coast shipping ports.
The company was spun out from Western Uranium Corporation (TSX-V: WUC) in July 2008 and Western Uranium retains an approximate 29.3% interest in the company.

Investitionen von 2,4 Mrd. Dollar
Obama setzt auf Elektroautos aufmerksam aufmerksam

Mit einer großen offensive will US-Präsident Obama die USA zu einem führenden Standort zum Bau von Elektroautos machen. Sein Land habe viel zu lange diesen Bereich vernachlässigt. Nun sollen 2,4 Milliarden Dollar investiert werden.


US-Präsident Barack Obama will rund 2,4 Milliarden Dollar (1,7 Milliarden Euro) in die Entwicklung von Elektroautos investieren. Mit dieser Maßnahme sollten zehntausende Arbeitsplätze geschaffen werden, sagte Obama in einer Fabrik in Wakarusa im US-Bundesstaat Indiana im Norden des Landes. Die USA seien viel zu lange "außerstande" gewesen, in diesen Bereich innovativer Jobs zu investieren, sagte der US-Präsident. Länder wie China und Japan seien da sehr viel weiter.


Die Investition sei die "größte dieser Art" in der US-Geschichte in diesem Technologiebereich, sagte Obama in Indiana, das von der Wirtschaftskrise hart getroffen wurde.

Der Großteil der geplanten Investition soll demnach in die industrielle Forschung zu Komponenten und Akkus sowie in das Recycling fließen.

Electric Vehicles Face Bright Future in U.S.

Date Published: 11 Aug 2009


By Matt Scruggs, Research Analyst, Frost & Sullivan's Automotive Practice and Veerender Kaul, Research Director, Frost & Sullivan's Automotive Practice

President Obama's announcement of a $2.4 billion government grant will open up the electric vehicle frontier on a larger scale than initially predicted. This will prove to be an important measure in reducing the initial cost of electric vehicles and opening the market to consumers. Additionally, electric vehicle development can provide a healthy boost to a stagnant economy with the creation of manufacturing jobs, a great number of which were lost due to the U.S. automotive industry decline. These benefits apply not only to purely-electric vehicles, but also to hybrid vehicles and extended-range electric vehicles (aka plug-in hybrids).

Of the $2.4 billion allocated in the program, approximately $1.5 billion is allocated to companies that manufacture batteries and battery components, as well as companies that recycle batteries once spent. $500 million goes to companies that manufacture electric drive systems or components, and the remaining $400 million is to be used for the creation of electric vehicle education and training, the creation of charging infrastructure, and the purchase of hybrid and electric vehicles for testing and evaluation. Based on Frost & Sullivan's analysis, this allocation of funding is poised to offer the maximum benefit to the future of electric vehicles.

The battery is the single-most expensive component of an electric vehicle, ranging from $8,000 to $15,000 on most vehicles in volume quantities. Automakers are working closely with battery suppliers and recyclers to develop several sales scenarios designed to reduce the initial battery cost to a point within reach of the average consumer. This may entail the consumer paying for a portion of the battery cost along with the price of the vehicle and leasing the rest of the cost over the life of the vehicle. Consumers are expected to be receptive to this, since they would not need to purchase gasoline, and electric recharge costs are expected to range from $0.70 to $2.50 per charge, depending on peak usage rates for each area. Companies that recycle batteries can also subsidize the cost, based on the end-of-life value of the battery pack.

The problem with these scenarios is still the initial cost, which lies not in the materials, but rather the labor and creation of manufacturing facilities for the batteries. The grant provides battery manufacturers with much-needed start-up funds to overcome the initial hurdle, since manufacturers have few options other than either burdening the consumer with excessive costs or absorbing the high prices and losing money on each battery. Once production reaches a significant level, prices will drop, and the cost will stabilize profitably, with price declines potentially reaching 50% by 2015.

The manufacture of electric drive components is expected to present only mild difficulty for the industry, as the technology is proven. The problem of scale, however, must be addressed, though the funds allocated for this are expected to be sufficient. The recipients of these funds are OEMs, 1st-Tier suppliers, or current manufacturers of electric vehicle drive components, suggesting that a straightforward expansion of manufacturing capacity will be the principle strategy.

Electric vehicles, while currently faced with challenges as viable modes of transportation, will continue to evolve to suit the changing face of the American market. Urban sprawl has separated working areas of a city from living areas, leading to an increase in average driving distance over the past few years. This trend is expected to continue, and is the largest single challenge to electric vehicle battery development. Initially, extended-range electric vehicles will offer an all-electric range of around 40 miles, which would be sufficient to meet the needs of the average driver. However, battery development is expected to progress quickly, with range being the first priority.

Aiding and abetting this is the expected creation of recharging infrastructure. Funds granted in this area are the lowest of the categories, though this is not expected to be problematic, as challenges here are largely those of business development. Opportunities are rampant in the infrastructure market, but will not be widely commercially viable until electric vehicles achieve significant market adoption, most likely around 2012.

Investors pile into lithium producers
Double-digit rise

Peter Koven, Financial Post
Published: Friday, August 14, 2009

Little-known lithium has emerged as the hot commodity of the moment as investors look for a way to cash in on the anticipated flood of electric cars to the market.

The lithium mania yesterday swept up a number of Bay Street institutions, which were buying anything for clients that happened to have the magic L-word in its name.

By the end of the day, explorers and developers of lithium properties -- Canada Lithium Corp., Western Lithium Corp. and First Lithium Resources Inc. -- were up 41%, 28% and 67%, respectively, on massive volumes.

"I just think people are realizing there are going to be an awful lot of lithium batteries used in electric vehicles over the next while," said Jon Hykawy, an analyst at Byron Capital Markets.

He said if a couple of million electric cars are sold in the next five years, that alone would equate to about 10% to 15% of current lithium demand.

The market for lithium, a very light silver-white metal, has grown steadily over the past decade thanks to rising demand for batteries in such consumer electronics as cellphones and laptop computers.

But it is the pending release of the Chevy Volt, the Nissan Leaf, and other electric vehicles that is getting investors most excited.

Some auto companies are already speculating that pure-electric cars could make up 10% of vehicle purchases by 2020, which could put major strain on lithium supplies if it happens.

"The real inflection point is that an automobile needs about 3,000 times as much lithium as a cellphone. This is where we've got a very large potential supply requirement," said Jay Chmelauskas, president of Western Lithium.

The fact that the electric car build-out is getting billions of dollars of subsidies and strong political support, particularly in the United States and China, only adds to the excitement for lithium. In the United States, the support comes as no surprise given the government controls General Motors. But China has also emerged as a leader in electrification. It is the world's largest car market, and experts said that almost every company producing lithium-ion batteries for cars has a plant in China.

The lithium industry is small, with annual production of only about 120,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate. There are also very few ways for investors to get involved in the sector, as it is dominated by four companies: SQM SA of Chile, Rockwood Holdings Inc., FMC Corp., and Talison Minerals Pty Ltd., a private Australian company. "And then you've got a wackload of juniors that are doing anything from the sublime to the ridiculous to come up with lithium," Mr. Hykawy said.

He said that the price of lithium, which is not widely published, reached about US$6,600 a tonne this month. That compares with about US$2,500 a tonne at the beginning of the decade.

The biggest source of lithium is Chile; Argentina and Australia are major producers as well. Bolivia is described by some as the Saudi Arabia of lithium, but experts said that a lot of the deposits there are contaminated with magnesium and are too costly to mine. Political risk has also kept many companies out.

"Western Lithium to Profit from Electric Car Stimulus"
http://www.altenergystocks.com/archives/2009/08/western_lith…

[nettinvestor]

Als ich das Folgende las, konnte ich damals nicht widerstehen. Bereut habe ich es nicht.

Sept. 11, 2008
Western Lithium Provides Chairman's Update

Vancouver, British Columbia: Western Lithium Canada Corporation (“the “Company” or “Western Lithium”) (TSXV: WLC) provides the Chairman’s message to the shareholders of the Company.
“As Chairman of Western Lithium Canada Corporation (“Western Lithium”), I would like to provide you with an update of our current activities, plans for the future, and welcome you as we develop the company into a supplier of lithium and associated metals for the emerging hybrid and electric automobile industry. The future for the development of radically new technologies to wean the world from its hydrocarbon addiction is almost unlimited. The resources we control in our company are of the same magnitude. Times are tough. Our company has been born into a turbulent market populated by nervous investors. We share their concerns and intend to manage our capital in a prudent manner with the goal of maximizing our shareholder’s value.
The equity markets today are as difficult as I can remember, especially for junior resource companies. The lack of credit and liquidity has forced many investors to pull back from the market and this in turn has put some of the institutional funds who invested in Western Lithium in a situation where they have significant redemptions. Some of these funds might be forced sellers; some might be taking advantage of liquidity. Regardless of the reason, this scenario has expressed itself in a lower share price. I, for one, am not overly concerned with the situation as the fundamentals of the company speak for themselves.
Western Lithium is not an exploration company seeking to discover something of value. We control the largest known lithium deposit in North America. According to Chevron reports, their drilling program in the late 1980’s identified approximately 24 billion pounds of lithium carbonate in a series of distinct mineralized zones within the McDermitt Caldera volcanic feature. :lickNote: This figure is not considered NI 43-101 compliant and should not be relied upon.) Subsequent work by Western Lithium is supportive of this estimate.
Chevron’s report was completed long before technology realized the value of lithium carbonate and in particular the lithium-ion battery. Today the market for mass produced plug-in hybrid cars and electric cars powered by lithium-ion batteries looks extremely promising. The Japanese government recently announced that they were installing quick charge stations in the larger Japanese cities to facilitate the use of electric vehicles. If you watched the Olympics, you might have noticed ads for Chevy’s new lithium-ion battery powered electric car, the Volt, now scheduled for mass production in 2010. Both Porsche and Mercedes have announced that they will be producing a hybrid vehicle powered by lithium-ion batteries. Today there are cars, motor scooters, boats and any number of electronic devices powered by lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-ion battery is clearly the choice for energy storage, both today and for the future.
The most difficult thing about change is predicting the rate at which it will occur. Three years ago, when we became aware of the Chevron data, the idea of mass produced electric cars or plug-in hybrids was almost science fiction. However, one thing that is certain is that markets for our product will grow and we have identified a resource base large enough to satisfy any possible future demand.
If, for instance, the lead-acid battery that is used in the vast majority of cars today were superseded by a more environmentally and technologically superior lithium-ion battery, your company would be worth multiples of our current value.
Today, Western Lithium has $5 million in the bank. This is sufficient to take the company well into next year based upon its current budget. The Company also benefits from available credit facilities from its sister company Western Uranium Corporation (Western Uranium Corporation currently has over $50 million in cash and is the owner of 30% of the outstanding shares of Western Lithium).
Western Lithium is currently hard at work developing a state-of-the-art processing concept and associated mining operation. In developing a process flow sheet, incorporating those results into a scoping study and moving rapidly to a feasibility study, the company is seeking to optimize the value of its asset as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our current project timeline envisions completion of a scoping study in mid-2009 in parallel with resource delineation and final metallurgical test work. This will lead to pre-feasibility and preliminary engineering design in late 2009. A bankable feasibility study, permitting and subsequent construction could lead to production in 2011. This time frame coincides with projections of growing demand for lithium-ion batteries in the auto industry. In conjunction with this technical work, Western Lithium has also begun canvassing a number of potential lithium-ion battery makers to develop marketing and off-take agreements. Its US address is also proving to be advantageous over foreign producers in respect to securing long term supply contracts.
As results are generated and progress is made, the value of Western Lithium’s shares will increase. With a huge identified asset, a growing market, and a highly experienced Board and Management team, our future could not look brighter, nor our shareholder value more secure. Western Lithium can afford to be patient and ride out this current market malaise. We are excited about the future and what it holds for our Company. We appreciate your continued support and believe the future is bright for the lithium battery market which in turn will reward our share holders over the longer term.”

On behalf of the Board of
Western Lithium Canada Corporation

Standard & Poor's Initiates Factual Stock Report Coverage on Western Lithium Corporation

By: Business Wire | 19 Aug 2009 | 08:00 AM ET

NEW YORK, Aug 19, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Standard & Poor's announced today that it has commenced Factual Stock Report coverage on Western Lithium Canada Corporation.

Western Lithium Canada Corporation (TSX-V:WLC), in the exploration stage, is developing the Kings Valley lithium deposit in northwestern Nevada and intends to produce lithium carbonate.

The company seeks to position itself as a major supplier to support the rising global demand for lithium carbonate that is expected from the increased use of mobile electronics and hybrid/electric vehicles. Lithium is currently used in lithium-ion batteries for cell phones, laptop computers and other electronic devices that require maximum storage capacity with minimum weight.

Western Lithium has engaged URS Corporation, an engineering firm, to complete an economic scoping study at the company's Kings Valley lithium deposit in Nevada.

The study is for a Stage I development plan with proposed production of 25,000 tonnes per year of high-quality, low-impurity lithium carbonate beginning in 2013. Results of the scoping study are targeted for early in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Western Lithium Stands to Profit from Electric Car Stimulus
by: Jason Hamlin August 16, 2009

The lithium market is buzzing as GM, Nissan (NSANY) and other car manufacturers get set to roll out a new series of electric cars that will greatly increase demand for the obscure silver-white alkai metal. GM has announced plans to construct a $43 million plant in Michigan to build lithium-ion batteries for its Chevrolet Volt electric-powered car, which captured headlines with its claim of 230 miles per gallon.

Adding to the lithium mania is Washington’s support in the form of $2 Billion in stimulus funding:

"New plug-in hybrids roll off our assembly lines, but they will run on batteries made in Korea. Well I do not accept a future where the jobs and industries of tomorrow take root beyond our borders –and I know you don’t either. It is time for America to lead again."

- President Obama

For those with concerns that fuel efficiency alone is not enough to entice America’s automobile consumer, consider the company Tesla Motors. While their roadster is the first production automobile to use lithium-ion battery cells and travel more than 200 miles per charge, it is also capable of doing 0-60 in under 4 seconds. Not only will the Tesla Roadster leave most sports cars in its dust, the car recently set a distance record in April 2009 when it completed the 241-mile Rallye Monte Carlo d’Energies Alternatives with 36 miles left on the charge. While the Roadster’s price tag may be out of reach for the average consumer at just over $100,000, Tesla has taken more than 1,000 reservations for the car and expects to begin production of an all-electric and more affordable sedan starting in late 2011. While Tesla remains a private company whose stock you are unlikely to get your hands on, their success bodes well for the future of lithium battery-powered cars.

Lithium prices have nearly tripled over the past decade with 22% compound annual growth since 2000 for use in laptops, cell phones and other electronics. While this demand is expected to continue rising, the recent lithium mania has been ignited by the fact that electric cars require about 3,000 times the lithium needed for an average cell phone or 100 times the lithium used in a computer battery. This huge spike in demand should propel lithium prices much higher over the next few years. Investors are eager to get ahead of the curve and are scrambling to find the companies that stand to benefit most from this new demand.

While most investors turn to the world’s largest lithium producer, Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (ADR) (NYSE:SQM), only a small percentage of their revenue is derived from lithium sales. SQM generates the bulk of their sales from iodine and specialty fertilizers for the agriculture sector.

My preferred way to profit from the coming lithium boom is through the company Western Lithium (CVE: WLC or WLCDF.PK), which owns the largest known lithium deposit in North America. The near surface lithium clay deposit is located in Nevada, USA and was initially discovered by the US Geological Survey and Chevron (CVX) USA in the 1970s. Engineering work completed by Chevron, and later by the US Bureau of Mines in the 1980s, is now being advanced by Western Lithium.

The company’s flagship Kings Valley property has a National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate for the initial stage of development and in total hosts a historically estimated 11 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). The project has a well developed local infrastructure and Nevada has a long history in the metals and industrial mineral mining industry. The company plans a scoping study during Q3 of 2009, a pre-feasibility study with results from additional drilling during 2010 and projected production by 2013. A chart with the world’s largest lithium deposits is below.



Western Lithium is well-funded and debt free with CDN$7.3 million cash on the books. They recently completed a $5.5 million private placement in May of this year and have a market cap of CDN$70 million. As you can see below, the stock has broken out recently on heavy volume. While some might view the stock as overbought, I believe lithium mania is only getting started and that Western Lithium will outperform its peers both in the short and long term. Despite the recent spike in price, shares are selling at a premium of just 20% to their highs which were put in well before the recent flurry of bullish news. The last time the stock made a move like the current one, it continued to produce a gain in excess of 800%!

We might not know for sure “Who Killed the Electric Car?,” but it appears to be making an impressive resurrection.

Nissan and Showa Shell: Quick Charging Using Solar Panels and Li-Ion-Batteries
22 Aug 2009

Nissan and Showa Shell announced they will start studies on joint development of a quick charging system for electric vehicles (EV) using Showa Shell's next-generation CIS solar panels and Nissan's lithium ion batteries for automotive use.

This joint development will take place as part of a commissioned project for EV diffusion launched by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

A quick charging system of which both companies will consider joint development aims to have following characteristics.

Maximizing the use of solar power which is renewable energy, the system will contribute to diffusion of EV as a ultimate zero emission vehicle which emits no exhaust gas like CO2 not only in driving but also in generating electricity. With lithium-ion batteries, power will be able to be supplied in case of power outage at the time of disaster. Reducing influence to grid power (load leveling), the system will enable to install quick charging facilities with lower electric power capacity.

In addition, a quick charging system using the next-generation CIS solar panels and lithium ion batteries is expected to be utilized in houses and large-scale solar power plants (mega solar plants).

Hi MaloneBS!

Nein, über WLC steht nichts in dem Artikel.
Es ging mir auch in erster Linie um die Überschrift, zur Verdeutlichung der Anstrengungen, die die Autofirmen bezüglich des elektrischen Antriebes aktuell unternehmen.
Ein weiterer Artikel zum Thema ist auch der folgende:

Danke für die Antwort, und gleich noch ne Frage: wo hast Du denn die Info über Canaccord Capital her?

Uebrigens, hier mal ein etwas negativer Blickwinkel der die momentane Zurückhaltung bei so manchem Li Titel erklärt.

Western Lithium Stock
The Best Way To Profit from the Lithium Boom

By Brian Hicks
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Warren Buffett stunned the market back in September 2008 when he announced that he was investing $250 million in a Chinese electric car company.

I say stunned because Warren Buffett seemed to violate one of his own rules of investing: Invest in companies you understand.

He admitted that he doesn't know a thing about electric cars.

So why did he invest?

Because maybe, just maybe, he knows that electric cars are a guaranteed winner.

I'm not recommending GM, Nissan, or any other automobile stock that's developing electric cars. . .

Instead, I'm going to recommend the commodity that is vital to the battery technology that'll be used in electric cars: lithium.

My play is a tiny mining outfit called Western Lithium (WLC.V: WLCDF). The stock currently trades for about $1.08 a share.

If you're skeptical or concerned that fuel efficiency alone is not enough to entice Americans to buy electric cars, consider the Silicon Valley company Tesla Motors (pictured above). While their roadster is the first production automobile to use lithium-ion battery cells and travel more than 200 miles per charge, it is also capable of going from 0-60mph in under four seconds.

Not only will the Roadster leave most sports cars in the dust, the car recently set a distance record in April 2009 when it completed the 241-mile Rallye Monte Carlo d'Energies Alternatives with 36 miles left on the charge.

Even though the Roadster is probably too pricey for the average consumer at just over $100,000, Tesla has taken more than 1,000 reservations for the car and expects to begin production of an all-electric and more affordable sedan starting in late 2011.

But just remember, the Tesla — as well as every other electric car — needs lithium. And demand for lithium is skyrocketing.

Lithium prices have nearly tripled over the past decade with 22% compound annual growth since 2000 for use in laptops, cell phones, and other electronics.

Demand is expected to continue rising, the recent lithium mania has been ignited by the fact that electric cars require about 3,000 times the lithium needed for an average cell phone, or 100 times the lithium used in a computer battery.

This huge spike in demand should propel lithium prices much higher over the next few years.

The best way to profit from the lithium boom is Western Lithium, which owns the largest known lithium deposit in North America. Take a look. . .



According to a recent investment report:

The near surface lithium clay deposit is located in Nevada, USA and was initially discovered by the US Geological Survey and Chevron USA in the 1970's. Engineering work completed by Chevron, and later by the US Bureau of Mines in the 1980's, is now being advanced by Western Lithium.

The company's flagship Kings Valley property has a National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate for the initial stage of development and in total hosts a historically estimated 11 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). The project has a well developed local infrastructure and Nevada has a long history in the metals and industrial mineral mining industry. The company plans a scoping study during Q3 of 2009, a pre-feasibility study with results from additional drilling during 2010 and projected production by 2013. A chart with the world's largest lithium deposits is below.

While brine is usually the cheapest to mine and process, followed by clay and then pegamite (hard rock), it really depends on the quality of the material and presence of contaminants. It can be cheaper to develop a good rock or clay than a low-quality brine. Access to roads and infrastructure also play important roles in a project's economic feasibility. Western Lithium has a clear advantage to competition in this regard as their clay deposit is touted as high-quality (99% commercial quality) and the project already has all of the necessary road access and infrastructure needed to begin construction and production.

Western Lithium is well-funded and debt free, with $7.3 million cash on the books. They recently completed a $5.5 million private placement in May of this year and have a market cap of 70 million.

Yes, the stock is up a lot this past year. . . but I believe the lithium bull market is just getting started.

I think we'll witness something similar to a uranium-style bull market that lasted several years.

I personally own Western Lithium around $1 per share. I will continue to add to my position on dips.

Profitably yours,

Brian

HIGH TECH METAL
The rush for lithium is just beginning

With the anticipated huge growth in hybrid electric vehicles among others demand for lithium is expected to skyrocket.

Author: John Chadwick
Posted: Wednesday , 26 Aug 2009

LONDON -

Dan Gleeson writes in International Mining's September Leader on the growing importance of and interest in lithium, and, by association, Bolivia. In his latest newsletter, A Buck or Two, Tjalling (TJ) de Jong also reports on the different lithium plays. TJ writes, "A small number of countries produce lithium from either brines or concentrates, Chile being the largest producer. Argentina, Chile and Australia together accounted for about 82% of the total lithium production in 2008. Supply of lithium is dominated by production of lithium from brines SQM FMC lithium and Chemetall and the sole mineral producer Talison Minerals of Australia. China has been ramping up production since 2000 but as of 2008 supplies 8% to the lithium market." In just the past week alone we have heard from five lithium explorers.

The majority of known resources are in the Bolivian Altiplano which is thought to host around 50% of global lithium resources; yet the country is unwilling to give up this land without ensuring that it profits from it. President Evo Morales has already nationalised the country's oil and natural gas sectors and is being very protective over this valuable lithium resource - see: Bolivian Govt aims to become global kingpin of lithium

The main uses for lithium have been batteries, ceramics and lubricating greases. Demand is expected to grow significantly as auto makers begin to produce hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV). TJ says "Lithium Ion Batteries are the preferred method for electrifying these vehicles. World production has come from 13,000 t to about 22,800 t lithium in 2008." Japan, Korea and China already have national Lithium Ion Battery technology development programs. When David Pescod of Canaccord Capital touched base with TJ, and asked for some stock picks, he said he prefers the plays that are based on brine because of their huge cost advantage.

Galaxy Resources has signed agreements for financing of its lithium project with China's Creat Group, raising at least A$26 million for the company. In addition, Creat will provide Galaxy with 100% debt finance of around A$130 million for the purpose of developing both the Mt Cattlin spodumene (lithium/tantalum) and Jiangsu lithium carbonate projects.

Managing Director, Iggy Tan said "this deal provides us with a bedrock Chinese shareholder and enables us to move ahead with the development of both the Mt Cattlin spodumene and Jiangsu lithium carbonate projects."

Galaxy has completed a definitive feasibility study that suggests Mt Cattlin (Ravensthorpe, Western Australia) is commercially viable based on a processing rate of 1 Mt/y over a 15 year mine life. The company is planning to commence the development of the mine and the construction of the mineral processing plant in Q3, 2009 with first concentrate production scheduled for Q3, 2010.

The company has also commenced a prefeasibility study into the value adding downstream production of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3). Galaxy plans to establish a 17,000 t/y lithium carbonate plant in China due to lower associated capital and operating costs, as well as being close to the strategic growing battery markets in Asia.

Linear Metals is reactivating exploration on its road accessible, 100% owned, Seymour Lake lithium/tantalum/beryllium property located to the north of Lake Nipigon, near Armstrong, in north-western Ontario, Canada. Linear says "the project is being reactivated in response to rising prices for elements such as lithium and tantalum. Brian MacEachen, President & CEO: "Historic exploration on the large Seymour Lake property has returned some very exciting lithium grades. Incredibly, lithium has never been the primary focus or target of an exploration program and as such the true potential has yet to be tested. We are taking immediate steps to initiate a drill program that will specifically target lithium mineralisation at Seymour Lake."

Lithium One has announced the first results from its Phase 2 diamond drill program at the James Bay lithium project in Quebec, Canada. Consolidated Abaddon is in the process of staking high potential lithium prospects in North America. It is also "evaluating existing lithium prospects for possible joint venture or acquisition."

Ashburton Resources has signed an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in 37 mineral claims with known occurrences of lithium bearing springs and clays in Churchill and Pershing Counties, Nevada, USA. The claim block has historically showed total lithium contents ranging from 86 to 1,480 ppm from rock and soil samples in auger holes. Ashburton says "Chemetall-Foote Corp.'s Silver Peak operation, located in Clayton Valley [320 km] south of the property, is the only lithium brine producer in North America and has been in production since 1966."

Also in Nevada is Canada's Western Lithium where its flagship Kings Valley property has a NI 43-101 resource estimate for the initial stage of development and in total hosts a historically estimated 11 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). Stage 1 of what could be a huge project boasts an indicated resource of 48.1 million tonnes grading 0.27% lithium with a lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) - 688,000 tonnes and 42.3 million tonnes grading 0.27% lithium (LCE - 606,000 tonnes) inferred. A scoping study is planned for completion during the current quarter and if all goes well the company is aiming for first production in 2013.

MHI to Enter Lithium-ion Secondary Battery Business with Launch of Commercial Production Verification Plant by Fall 2010

Tokyo, Aug 26, 2009 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has decided to build a commercial production verification plant in Nagasaki Prefecture and launch its operation by autumn 2010 in a move toward the company's full-scale entry into the lithium-ion secondary battery market. The new plant, to be built within the company's Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works, will have a production capacity of 66 MWh (megawatt hours) of batteries a year, which is equivalent to 400,000 medium-size cells. The batteries were developed in a 20-year-long joint research and development project with Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc.

To date MHI has supplied the batteries for sample use, but now it has opted to place them on the market. The company looks to promote lithium-ion secondary battery business through a companywide initiative and will begin by incorporating the batteries into its various products, such as forklift trucks and wind turbine power generation systems. In conjunction with this initiative, MHI will launch a new Joint Lithium Battery Operations Department effective October 1st.

MHI and Kyushu Electric Power launched joint research and development into large-size batteries for electric power storage in 1988, and successfully developed compact batteries capable of supplying substantial power over long periods. Those batteries are a medium-size cell with energy capacity of 165 Wh (watt-hours), mainly used in vehicles, and a large-size stationary-use battery cell with 350 Wh.

The commercial production verification plant, slated for construction startup this fall, will utilize technologies from MHI's diversified business areas, including technologies related to slurry preparation, coating, and mass-production management knowhow from turbocharger production. The plant will serve to verify and improve factors essential for commercial production, such as verification of operation rates, tact time, battery performance and cost target. MHI's lithium-ion secondary battery business plan calls for the construction of another full-scale commercial plant once all-out entry into the business is decided. The company will make its decision in 2011 taking the market situation, future prospects, and verification results into account.

The new Joint Lithium Battery Operations Department will encompass staff members from the Power Systems Headquarters and the General Machinery & Special Vehicle Headquarters and will be charged with integrally advancing product planning and commercialization. Technical Headquarters, the Production System Innovation Planning Department and the Sustainability Energy & Environment Strategic Planning Department will also provide support.

Besides producing the new batteries, MHI aims, by leveraging its abundant system development know-how, to enhance their value by incorporating them into the company's final products and systems. Specifically, for vehicle applications MHI will mount the batteries on its newly developing hybrid forklift trucks. The company also plans to provide its lithium-ion secondary batteries to affiliated companies and to supply them to other companies for installation in their products as a power train. For stationary use, MHI will incorporate the batteries as electric power storage units enabling stabilization of electricity supply from renewable energy grid systems, such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation. It also will consider, together with Kyushu Electric Power, applications in the emergency power source systems of the electricity providers, as well as an environmental-friendly independent power source at work site and a power source for micro electricity grids on remote islands.

Demand for lithium-ion secondary batteries, which boast superior power storage capability, is expected to increase sharply from 2010 in tandem with further strengthening of environmental regulations. Domestic battery manufacturers will increase their production, expecting demands largely coming from applications in hybrid cars and electric vehicles initially. MHI, as a comprehensive manufacturer of energy-related machinery, looks to further contribute to the establishment of an energy-saving society by focusing on electric power storage, particularly for industrial applications, in addition to further enhancing its existing systems in areas such as high-efficiency power generation and renewable energy utilization.

Peugeot, Mitsubishi to launch electric car by end of 2010

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, cp.org, Updated: September 4, 2009 6:08 AM

PARIS - PSA Peugeot Citroen and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. have agreed to launch an electric car in Europe by the end of 2010, the companies said Friday.

The French and Japanese car makers said the as-yet unnamed vehicle will be based on Mitsubishi's i-MieV, which was launched on the Japanese market in June.

The car will be built in Japan and the carmakers target eventual annual global sales of 50,000 vehicles, PSA Peugeot Citroen spokesman Jean-Marc Sarret said.

Half of these sales will be made by Peugeot and Citroen in Europe, the rest by Mitsubishi in Japan and elsewhere, Sarret said.

Peugeot and Citroen will announce the names of their respective electric cars in the coming days, Sarret said.

The car will be able to drive for 130 kilometers (81 miles) between charges, with a battery that can be fully recharged in six hours, Sarret said.

Gents,

in the meantime, Li- rechargeable batteries techn. used on mobiles and laptops - reloading time is very short indeed (quickest is at 30 sec.)
Tomorrow, this might even not be state of the art anymore, since systems are continuously improving.

What must be observed, in our point of view, is : who's gonna swallow the other ones in minging issues, who's gonna make the race, and who is the one to take the lead in battery development and salability. So we choose the big ones, which might be more sustainable (im Sinne von zukunftsfähig) both in minings and battery makers.

As to what regards the latter, it's quite difficult to make'm out. Besides 120472, we are still looking to improve our spreading.

Rohstoffe: Chinesischer Drache auf Raubzug

China sichert sich weltweit neue Rohstoffquellen und hortet die eigenen Vorräte. Mit Hunderten von Exportzöllen will China die Ausfuhr von Rohstoffen und Halbzeugen beschränken. Die deutsche Industrie warnt schon vor Produktionsengpässen. Treffen könnten die Restriktionen zum Beispiel die Automobilbranche.
Diese setzt derzeit auf die Entwicklung von Elektromotoren, um die Emissionen der Wagen zu reduzieren. Dabei ist sie unter anderem auf das Seltene-Erden-Metall Neodym angewiesen. Anders als bei Eisenerz geht es dabei zwar meist nur um kleine Mengen. Hier fürchten westliche Industriekonzerne eine empfindliche Störung des Nachschubs, weil es derzeit nur einen Lieferanten gibt - China.

Ähnliches gilt für das Leichtmetall Lithium, das für einen neuen Typ von Batterien gebraucht wird, der belastbarer und leistungsfähiger ist als die klassische Blei-Säure-Batterie. Branchenkenner warnen, dass angesichts der erhofften gewaltigen Wachstumsraten der Elektroautos in den nächsten Jahrzehnten die bisherige Förderung des Ausgangsstoffes Lithiumcarbonat vor allem in Australien, Südamerika und China nicht ausreichen dürfte. Es gibt nur eine Handvoll Unternehmen, die den Markt dominieren und Lithium herstellen. Vor allem die Chinesen sichern sich offenbar den Zugriff auf das begehrte Lithium. Der zu erwartende Engpass macht den deutschen Autobauern bereits Sorgen, heißt es in Branchenkreisen.

Western Lithium Commences Additional Drilling in Nevada to Support Long Term Lithium Carbonate Production

Reno, Nevada, USA: Western Lithium Corporation (TSX-V: WLC) has commenced drilling on the Stage II clay lens of its Kings Valley, Nevada lithium property. The purpose of this drilling is to determine if additional years of National Instrument 43-101 compliant mine life can be added to the proposed project. According to the original Chevron data, the Stage II lens is approximately seven times larger than Stage I lens, so only a portion of the lens will be drilled at this time.

“This drilling program is intended to continue to confirm the earlier Chevron work and support our staged development plan for the project,” said Jay Chmelauskas, Western Lithium’s President. “We are positioning our project in Nevada to become a major center and United States-based strategic supplier of high quality lithium carbonate for the next generation of lithium-ion battery powered transportation and mobile electronics.”

The Stage II drilling is intended to provide additional confirmation of the historical resource originally drilled by Chevron Resources in the 1980s. The drilling, on a portion of the Stage II lens, is expected to take approximately two months to complete and will consist of 38 core drill holes in the main central portion of the lens. Drilling of Stage I in 2008 focused on only one of five mineralized lenses and the results supported the work previously carried out by Chevron. A National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate has been completed for the initial Stage I lens which contains Indicated Resources of 48.1 million tonnes grading 0.27% lithium, or the lithium carbonate equivalent (“LCE”) of 688,000 tonnes LCE and Inferred Resources of 42.3 million tonnes grading 0.27% lithium, for an equivalent of 606,000 tonnes LCE, both at a cut-off grade of 0.20% Lithium.
The cost of this drilling program is expected to be approximately $800,000 and is in addition to the previously announced Stage I drilling and trenching program planned for 2009.
Western Lithium is developing the Kings Valley, Nevada lithium deposit into potentially one of the world’s largest(1) strategic, scalable and reliable sources of high quality lithium carbonate. The Company is positioning itself as a major U.S.-based supplier to support the rising global demand for lithium carbonate that is expected from the increased use of mobile electronics and hybrid/electric vehicles.

Comments

Interesting. The webpage of Western Lithium informs that this Nevada based mine contains a total of 11 million tones of lithium carbonate. Another webpage (see links below) informs that 85% of the Nevada resource is minable so about 9.35 million ton of lithium carbonate. To get this into perspective it requires 0.6kg of lithium carbonate to produce 1 kWh of lithium batteries (may vary from chemistry to chemistry but roughly so). In other words the Nevada site could be used to produce ((1000/0.6)*9.35) = 15.6 billion kWh of lithium batteries or about 1 billion Volt PHEVs or 650 million Nissan Leaf EVs.

And that was just one possible mine in the US. Countries like Chile still has the cheapest lithium carbonate on the planet and can mine it for about 2000 USD per ton. This is also possible in Tibet and Bolivia. At 10.000 USD per ton the Nevada site is probably good business. That price will still only be (10000/(1000/0.6)) = 6 USD worth of lithium carbonate for 1 kWh of lithium battery that currently cost minimum 300 USD to produce.

Lithium: Der Hype ist da
Dienstag, 15. September 2009 um 14:01

Von Armin Brack

Spätestens seit dem Siegeszug der Lithium-Ionen-Akkus weiß auch die Masse, daß das silbrig-weiße Metall nicht nur als Antidepressiva verwendet werden kann. Fakt ist, daß die Nachfrage nach Lithium dadurch steigt und die Förderkapazitäten erhöht werden müssen. Ähnlich wie bei den Seltenen Erden ist auch ein Großteil der Lithium-Vorkommen auf wenige Regionen begrenzt.

Dreiviertel der bekannten Reserven liegen in Chile und Bolivien. Bolivien fördert bisher überhaupt noch kein Lithium, Chile ist der größte Produzent. Investoren stürzten sich zuletzt pauschal auf alle börsennotierten Explorer, die irgendwie mit Lithium zu tun haben. Western Lithium gehört eines der größten Vorkommen im US-Wüstenstaat Nevada.

Geologische Gutachten liegen vor, der Abbau soll aber erst ab 2013 erfolgen. Die Aktie ist entsprechend spekulationsgetrieben. Wir werden den Sektor weiter genau beobachten. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt raten wir aber nicht zu einem Einstieg. Alternativ ist der chilenische Rohstoffproduzent SQM (unter anderem auch Lithium; WKN 895007) aber beobachtenswert, um den Sektor konservativer zu spielen.

Fazit: Kurzfristige Gegenbewegung auf die Verluste wahrscheinlich. Als Übernahmespekulation zu riskant!

16.09.2009 Update der Empfehlung

Grosse Lithium Vorkommen in Entwicklung

Gerade wurden in Argentinen neue Lithium-Minen in Betrieb genommen und die Minenkapazitäten in Chile ausgebaut. Zur Zeit herrscht eine Überproduktion an Lithium und die weltweiten Reserven betragen 12.000 amerikanische Tonnen. Lithium wird vor allem in der preissensitiven Konsumer Electronic verwendet und ist leicht zu substituieren. Es ist deshalb entscheidend, die Lithium-Förderung sehr kostengünstig zu betreiben. Die aktuelle Situation mit randvollen Lagern findet ihren Niederschlag in den Preisen. Nicht in den publizierten Preisen, in denen der effektiven Abschlüsse. Diese Situation der Überproduktion dürfte in den nächsten ein bis drei Jahren einkehren, sobald die Autoindustrie in grösseren Stückzahlen Hybrid- und Elekrofahrzeuge verkaufen wird.

Weitere Detailinformationen unter http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/lithium/450…

Western Lithium Canada entwickelt eines der weltweit grössten Lithium Vorkommen im Kings Valley, Nevada, USA. Die Produktionsaufnahme ist im Jahre 2013 vorgesehen mit vorerst 25.000 Tonnen Förderleistung, die mit zunehmendem Bedarf für Elektroautos gesteigert wird. Die Abbaubedingungen sind extrem günstig, so dass sich der Abbau auch bei sehr tiefen Lithiumpreisen lohnt.
Mehr Informationen unter http://www.wallstreet-online.de/diskussion/1152388-1-10/west….
Die Preissteigerungen, die wir in den nächsten Monaten erwarten, sind rein spekulationsgetrieben. Wir gehen aber davon aus, dass es sich lohnt, auf dem heutigen tiefen Niveau einzusteigen. Denn mit der Entwicklung des Gebietes dürften immer neue Funde an Lithium im Kings Valley zu laufend steigenden Kursen führen.

Fazit: Für langfristige Anleger. Kaufen und warten, bis die Rakete startet.

Western Lithium is developing the Kings Valley, Nevada lithium deposit into potentially one of the world’s largest strategic, scalable and reliable sources of high quality lithium carbonate. The Company is positioning itself as a major U.S.-based supplier to support the rising global demand for lithium carbonate that is expected from the increased use of mobile electronics and hybrid/electric vehicles.
http://www.westernlithium.com/news-items/4520


The near surface lithium clay deposit is located in Nevada, USA and was initially discovered by the US Geological Survey and Chevron USA in the 1970's. Engineering work completed by Chevron, and later by the US Bureau of Mines in the 1980's, is now being advanced by Western Lithium.

The company's flagship Kings Valley property has a National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate for the initial stage of development and in total hosts a historically estimated 11 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). The project has a well developed local infrastructure and Nevada has a long history in the metals and industrial mineral mining industry. The company plans a scoping study during Q3 of 2009, a pre-feasibility study with results from additional drilling during 2010 and projected production by 2013. A chart with the world's largest lithium deposits is below.

While brine is usually the cheapest to mine and process, followed by clay and then pegamite (hard rock), it really depends on the quality of the material and presence of contaminants. It can be cheaper to develop a good rock or clay than a low-quality brine. Access to roads and infrastructure also play important roles in a project's economic feasibility. Western Lithium has a clear advantage to competition in this regard as their clay deposit is touted as high-quality (99% commercial quality) and the project already has all of the necessary road access and infrastructure needed to begin construction and production.

Western Lithium is well-funded and debt free, with $7.3 million cash on the books. They recently completed a $5.5 million private placement in May of this year and have a market cap of 70 million.

'Lithium is a darling among hot commodities'
2009-09-26 18:15:00

The Gold Report:
How about Western Lithium?

Jon Hykawy:
For scale and political stability, we like the clays and we like Western Lithium. If their process proves out, they should be able to produce a fair amount of potash along with the lithium, which will keep their relative costs down. If they're lucky and hit an absolute home run, they may even be able to produce hydrofluoric acid, which would be a cash cow for them. That's a bit "iffier" but they have a huge resource. They can scale up without damaging that reserve because it's basically open-pit mining. And they're in the United States (Kings Valley in northern Nevada). Everybody recognizes the value in producing in a politically stable jurisdiction, even if it does cost a little bit more. So, we like WLC; it's a good story.

Trading High Potential Stocks

Technical Analysis Of Two Select Lithium Mining Stocks
by Olivier on September 29, 2009

Time for another sector analysis. Tonight I’ll go through a few select Lithium Mining stocks. My original Lithium sector overview chart on my public list reflects the changes I observe over time. The reason my interest for the Lithium sector became more pronounced was LI.V – Lithium One. Way before that stock popped up in my scans WLC.V – Western Lithium Canada kept popping up. Times have changed. WLC.V is still a leader LI.V made it onto my list but recently I got rid of it and replaced it with RM.V – Rodinia Minerals. That’s the name of the game. You replace weak stocks with strong stocks. You’re not only supposed to do that within a sector but with your overall portfolio. Keep your winners and get rid of your losers. No hard feelings.

On to the charts. Lithium stocks haven’t kept moving up like the Rare Earth stocks. Relatively speaking this sector is weaker but the consolidation patterns could be setting the stocks up for another push to the upside. I am closely monitoring WLC.V – Western Lithium Canada which I consider to be the leader within the sector as it has the highest market cap (that of course doesn’t take into account SQM – Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile). The recent private placement is now closed. The stage is set for a potential move to the upside. Let’s see what happens.



Up until last week my favourite was RM.V – Rodinia Minerals. Somehow the stock lost its immediate pressure over the course of the last few days. So for now I will stick to watching WLC.V for clues.

CLQ.V – Canada Lithium has been one of the best movers from a percentage perspective. The stock has now retraced 50% from its recent all time highs. So far the retracement / consolidation looks rather orderly. We’ll see what happens and if the stock can start to move up again.

Bin mal gespannt ob nach aktuellen drill Daten die Aussagen von letztem Jahr über 25 mia Pfund Li und einem Aktienwert von über 3$ WLC noch gerecht werden .

http://www.energyinvestmentstrategies.com/2008/02/02/lithium…
Now for the gravy. Along with the uranium at the Kings Valley project is a sizeable quantity of Lithium. Let me rephrase, a huge quantity of Lithium- about 25 billion pounds. You read it right, 25 billion of pounds. To put that into perspective, estimates indicate that the current world supply of lithium is 40 billion pounds. If correct, WUC is sitting on about half of the worlds possible inventory of the metal.
WUC has to this point not looked at their lithium deposit as anything other then an extra. With this new technology and the fact that WUC might have the largest deposit in the country or world, a reassessment is warranted. Current plans are to spin off the lithium deposit under the name of Western Lithium Corp (WLC) in the first quarter. Valued at only a penny a pound , the lode is possibly worth over $3 a share.

Western Lithium to Acquire Rocky Mountain Resources

* Press Release
* Source: Western Lithium Canada Corporation and Rocky Mountain Resources Corp.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - 10/23/09) - Western Lithium Canada Corporation (TSX-V:WLC - News) and Rocky Mountain Resources Corp. (TSX-V:RKY - News) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a non-binding letter of intent pursuant to which Western Lithium proposes to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Rocky Mountain.

The letter of intent contemplates that the transaction will be completed by way of a Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement"). At closing, all Rocky Mountain common shares will be automatically exchanged for Western Lithium shares on the basis of 0.4032 Western Lithium shares for each Rocky Mountain share. All warrants of Rocky Mountain will be exchanged for similar warrants of Western Lithium, based on the same exchange ratio. The consideration to Rocky Mountain shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement represents approximately, a 43% premium over Rocky Mountain's closing price on October 22, 2009, based on Western Lithium's 20 day weighted average share price on the TSX-V of $1.24 per share. The total number of shares Western Lithium would issue under the transaction is approximately 6,749,091.

Rocky Mountain's primary asset is the Gibellini development stage Vanadium project in Nevada. Vanadium has the potential to become an important element for future battery chemistries together with lithium-ion chemistries. The companies believe that a combination of Nevada based strategic metals for applications in electrical storage and other industrial uses will provide operational and corporate synergies, and accretive value to shareholders.

Rocky Mountain's Board of Directors have approved the proposed merger and upon entering into a definitive agreement will enter into specific support agreements agreeing to vote their shares in favour of the merger.

Completion of the transaction is conditional upon satisfactory completion of due diligence, the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement and receipt of Rocky Mountain shareholder approval as well as other customary conditions and regulatory approvals. The special shareholder meeting of Rocky Mountain to vote on the transaction is expected to be held in early January 2010. An information circular and other related documents containing the terms of the Arrangement will be mailed to Rocky Mountain shareholders in late November. The transaction is expected to close in January 2010.

The Letter of Intent provides that the parties plan to complete their respective technical, operating and financial due diligence and negotiate the terms of a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") by November 10, 2009. Rocky Mountain has agreed to an exclusivity period expiring on November 10, 2009.

Western Lithium has retained Haywood Securities Inc. as its financial advisor in connection with the transaction and has agreed to pay Haywood a success fee upon completion of the transaction.

Lithium outlook bright with auto electrification
Tue Oct 27, 2009 10:58am EDT

By Chris Kelly

WASHINGTON, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Demand for lithium should ramp up over the next decade to produce the lithium-ion batteries needed to power the next generation of electric and electric hybrid vehicles.

"I think that the future of transportation and energy is in electrification and smart grids. For electrification to really take place, you need a number of drivers, and we are seeing these catalysts today in Beijing ... in Washington, in terms of energy independence and 'green' air quality requirements," said Jay Chmelauskas, president of Western Lithium Corp. (WLC.V)

"Will it happen? Yes it will, but where is that inflection point? I think it is in the next five to 10 years from what we see happening," he said during a panel discussion last week at the Managing Supply Chain Risks for Critical & Strategic Metals conference in Washington.

Light weight, energy efficiency and ability to quickly charge should drive demand from the auto industry for lithium-ion batteries past demand for batteries made from other metals such as lead, nickel and cobalt.

"We are recognizing that lithium is perhaps the Holy Grail of the electric vehicle and variations of the electric vehicle," said David L. Trueman, consulting geologist with Avalon Rare Metals Inc.

The United States produces just 3 percent of the global lithium supply, but with support from $2 billion in government stimulus, suppliers of the minor metal are betting on a future transportation sector that will run on electric battery technology.

Western Lithium's Chmelauskas said his company's Kings Valley, Nevada deposit could potentially be one of the world's largest strategic, scalable and reliable sources of high-quality lithium carbonate.

"Our vision here is to supply the North American market and to support all of the stimulus funding ... the billions of dollars that are going into the technology, and we believe that the future of lithium and ion batteries in electric cars will certainly bring a lot of opportunities," he said.

Bolivia owns about 50 percent of the world's lithium deposits at about 5.4 million tonnes.

As industrialized nations make strides in cutting dependence on fossil fuels and reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses, electrification of automobiles is an inevitable goal.

"In the very long run we have a goal of transportation and mobility all around the world. We are going to have a transportation sector that's electrified, regardless of the sources of electrification," said Yaron Vorona, executive director with the International Lithium Alliance

"It's only a matter of time before all cars are electrified. Lithium is the best electron transport for charging and recharging batteries out there to date.

"If the future is electric ... and it is, the future is probably in lithium."

Sorry, will den thread nicht stören - aber ich habe eben den thread von TNR Gold (CA87260X1096) re-aktivieren lassen ... für alle, die's interessiert, hier die Kurzfassung der Homepage:

WELCOME TO TNR GOLD CORP.

Exploring for Lithium, Rare Earth Metals, Precious & Base Metals across the globe from Argentina to Ireland!

TNR Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TNR) is a minerals exploration company actively exploring a portfolio of properties worldwide for lithium and rare metals. TNR has a strategic balance of both pegmatite and brine projects - pegmatites with the advantage of presence rare metals such as tantalum and niobium, while brines offer the low-cost large scale production of lithium carbonate that will be increasingly important. TNR has secured over 292 squared kilometres of well-known pegmatite belt in Ireland, acquired a past producing tantalum mine area in Northwest Territories never tested for other rare metals, staked USGS-tested lithium brine properties in Nevada around the only current lithium brine producer in North America, acquired 120 squared kilometres of salt lake in Argentina, Mavis Lake, and other properties!

TNR will be actively seeking property development with its proven joint venture model. With rising energy demands and increased reliance on lithium ion technology from hybrid and electric vehicles to portable devices, Green Energy is the trend of the future and these acquisitions are the first of many progressive steps for TNR in becoming a prominent Lithium and Rare Earth Elements explorer.

Our primary focus in Argentina is the exploration and development of three key projects in Argentina: Eureka, El Salto, and El Tapau. We continue to explore our other properties while identifying new quality prospective projects. TNR will strengthen its assets through partnerships with mid-tier and major companies, and establish long-term cash flow through royalty interests and project development.

The Eureka project is an exotic Copper system with Gold targets. Eureka is a historically productive project with seven known flat-lying copper beds and no history of drilling. TNR will explore the property this year through drilling, trenching, sampling, and IP survey.

El Salto and El Tapau are strategically situated 50km apart and both have year-round access. El Salto is a Copper-Gold-Molybdenum system that appears to be part of a series of porphyry systems known as the "Yellow Belt" district of San Juan. TNR's 10,500m drilling program is currently under way at El Salto. El Tapau is a Copper Gold target. Systematic rock chip samples over an area 600 metres by 400 metres uncovered gold values as high as 19 g/t, with an average value of 2.2 g/t. The 2008 Program for El Tapau includes detailed geological mapping, systematic rock sampling, geophysical IP Survey, trenching, and the Phase One 3,000m Drill Program.

In Argentina, TNR Gold Corp's holdings are held under the wholly-owned subsidiary Solitario Argentina S. A. ("Solitario").

TNR also has two large projects in Alaska - Shotgun and Iliamna. Shotgun hosts a million ounces of historic gold deposit, while Iliamna is an early-stage exploration project divesdted from BHP Billiton showing geological similarities to the nearby Pebble Deposit, approximately 50km away.

Lithium battery to determine who becomes next car giant
Leo Lewis From: The Times October 09, 2009 8:00AM

THE lithium car battery is primed to become a "major disruptive force" over the next decade, dictating the fate of the world's largest vehicle makers, reshaping the electronics industry and sparking possible tensions between the mineral haves and have-nots.

As carmakers ponder moves into greener manufacturing, the risks of mistakes grow greater with every new battery maker or technology that emerges. With the industry rules reset by lithium, analysts say, new businesses are expected to appear from nowhere. Many will fail but some may go on to become the new General Motors or Toyota.

Lithium batteries and the prospect of some future worldwide market for electric cars have already propelled Wang Chuanfu, the founder of the car and battery maker BYD, to become China's richest man as shares in his company soared. A year earlier, he was 103rd in the rankings.

The prospect of lithium's rising dominance over a post-oil economy has begun to draw warnings from government and industrial sources that seismic shifts are about to take place. The investment scene surrounding batteries, analysts say, may become more complex as new companies emerge to challenge the established players and speculative bubbles inflate throughout all stages of the battery-making process.

Brokers are touting ways to play the lithium story, from battery producers, such as Samsung SDI and Panasonic, to lithium miners, such as SQM and Chemetall. Several analysts believe that Nissan, with its plans to build battery production in Europe, represents the best carmaker in which to buy shares to invest in electric cars.

A potentially bloody technology race is under way and mistakes will be made in the stampede, Kanehide Yahata, a CLSA analyst, said. He highlighted the temptation prematurely to view Korean and Chinese producers as the likely winners because there are still huge discrepancies in expertise. Japanese research is eyeing a battery that would allow an 80km drive on a single charge. Korea's research efforts are focused on developing one that could manage 32km.

"Some automakers, such as Mitsubishi, have missed the point by creating commercially unviable electric vehicles," he said. "In contrast, Nissan's Leaf shows great promise. Honda is fretting about what to do while Toyota is quietly treading water. GM is on the wrong scent with the Volt and Chrysler's plan is just a bluff."

Toyota's senior management pointed yesterday to the lithium battery as the "deciding technology" by which Japanese and American carmakers would survive or perish. The supply of lithium batteries is expected to redraw corporate partnerships throughout Asia, particularly in the technology's heartland of Japan: lithium batteries lie at the centre of the world's biggest electronics merger between Panasonic and Sanyo.

Nomura Securities analysts predict that lithium will create a new balance of industrial power. "We think the barriers to entry (in battery making) could quickly lower over the next four or five years with the switch to electric and hybrid vehicles the main driver of growth. That could trigger a collapse of the existing business groupings, the adoption of new materials and the deterioration of Japan's position as the industry pacesetter," a recent note to investors read.

On lithium's upstream, the transformation is visible. "In terms of interest and exploration, the lithium industry is experiencing an all-time high. Over the past four months, unclaimed lithium deposits have been snapped up at a rate never seen before," Simon Moores, an Industrial Minerals analyst, said. The majority of projects, he warned, would end in failure.

Some see a potentially risky side to the boom. On a visit to Tokyo this week, Lord Mandelson, Britain's Business Secretary, described the coming competition for resources such as lithium as "the next battle we are going to have to take on".

Lithium: Hohe Erwartungen

Datum: 28.10. 18:33

London (BoerseGo.de) – Jay Chmelauskas, Präsident von Western Lithium, rechnet in den kommenden zehn Jahren mit einem weiteren Anstieg der Lithiumnachfrage durch wachsende Produktionszahlen bei Lithium-Ionen-Batterien.

„Ich denke dass die Zukunft des Transports und der Energie in der Elektrifikation und in intelligenten Schaltkreisen liegen wird. Dass die Elektrifizierung aber wirklich umgesetzt werden kann, ist es erforderlich, dass eine Reihe von Wachstumstreibern aktiv bleiben, einige davon sehen wir in Beijing (…) und in Washington in Form von Energieunabhängigkeit und verschärften „saubere Luft“-Bestimmungen.“

Die Nachfrage nach Lithium-Ionen-Akkus soll weiter steigen, da sie leichter und schneller ladbar sind, als herkömmliche, aus Kobalt, Blei oder Nickel hergestellte Batterien.

David Trueman, Geologe bei Avalon Rare Metals, sieht Lithium sogar als „heiligen Gral“ bei der Herstellung von Elektroautos an. In den USA wurden von der Regierung mehrere Milliarden US-Dollar in viel versprechende Projekte investiert. Dabei produzieren die USA nur 3% des weltweiten Lithiumangebots, was für einen entsprechend hohen Importbedarf des Metalls spricht.

Morning Coffee, Canaccord Capital
(12/03/2009)

"With the demand for low emission cars expected to grow significantly, [Sanyo Electric] is accelerating development of lithium-ion batteries for plug-in hybrid cars. Most hybrid cars currently use nickel-metal hydride batteries; however, this market appears set to shift as automakers have begun to develop plug-in models and electric cars that use lithium-ion cells, which are lighter, more powerful, and more expensive.
Toyota, the maker of Prius, the world's most popular hybrid vehicle, plans to build a plug-in model for retail buyers in 2012. General Motors intends to build as many as 60,000 Chevrolet Volt plug-in electric cars annually, starting in November 2010.
Sanyo estimates that global sales of hybrid cars using lithium-ion cells, including plug-in models, will grow to 2.3 million units by 2015 and 10.2 million by 2020, while research by the Daiwa Institute of Research forecasts that lithium-ion cells will likely overtake nickel- hydride batteries in the car market around 2014.
To gain exposure to lithium, Canaccord Adams recommends a basket of quality explorers and developers such as: Canada Lithium (CLQ), Lithium One (LI), and Western Lithium (WLC)."

Western Lithium's Positive Scoping Study Results Support Major USA Based Lithium Production
RENO, NEVADA--(Marketwire - Jan. 12, 2010) - Western Lithium Corporation (TSX VENTURE:WLC)(PINK SHEETS:WLCDF) is pleased to announce the results of a National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant Preliminary Assessment and Economic Evaluation (PAEE) on its Kings Valley Lithium Project in Nevada, USA. The assessment was prepared by a collaboration of several major engineering firms and independent consultants.

Highlights

- Planned Stage I nominal production of 27,700 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) and 115,000 tonnes per year of potassium sulphate (SOP).

- Stage I average revenue estimated at US$263 million per year.

- Stage I pre-tax net present value (NPV) discounted at 8% of US$714 million(1).

- Pre-tax internal rate of return (IRR) is 28%.

- Cash operating costs estimated to be US$1,967 per tonne (US$0.89/pound) of lithium carbonate, after potassium sulphate by-product credit.

- Initial 18 year operating life with potential scalability to expand to multiple stages.

- Total capital costs estimated to be US$427 million.

- Chemistry and process selection indicative of high quality, low impurity product.

- Located near major transportation hubs in western United States.

"As we enter this decade, we see considerable momentum behind electric transportation using lithium-ion batteries," said Jay Chmelauskas, Western Lithium's President. "Our company is positioning itself to become a USA-based, major global supplier of high-quality lithium to meet the projected growth in demand from the electric and hybrid vehicle sector."

The PAEE, or Scoping Study, is based on the NI 43-101 compliant Stage I lithium resource and supports a nominal production rate of 27,700 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) for approximately 18 years. The proposed production rate compares favorably with the top two global LCE producers, both located in South America, that reported production of 32,600 tonnes and 22,500 tonnes of LCE in 2008, respectively. In addition, the study indicates the potential to produce a nominal 115,000 tonnes per year of by-product potassium sulphate (SOP), primarily used as agricultural fertilizer. The proposed project is expected to compete as a low-cost LCE producer with an estimated cash operating cost of US$1,967 per tonne (US$0.89/pound) LCE net of SOP by-product credit, under base case economics (cash operating costs estimated to be US$4,463 per tonne LCE with cash credit of (US$2,496) per tonne LCE derived from the sale of by-product potassium sulphate). The company notes, however, that no reliance should be placed on its current ability to sell the potassium sulphate by-product, as a result of imprecision in the United States Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) regulatory process for allowing the company's sale of the by-product. The company is proposing to pursue a negotiated contractual or regulatory resolution of this issue with the BLM.

For the Stage I development, the base case economic analysis, using a price of US$6,614 per tonne of LCE, and a price of US$600 per tonne of SOP, indicates a pre-tax net present value (NPV) discounted at 8% of US$714 million. The projected pre-tax internal rate of return (IRR) is 28%. Average revenue for Stage I is estimated at US$263 million with pre-tax nominal cash flow (EBITDA) of approximately US$130 million. Capital costs, estimated to be US$427 million, have a payback period of 4 years.

Western Lithium's Kings Valley property has one of the largest known lithium deposits in the world, based on a historical resource estimate done by Chevron Resources of 11 million tonnes of LCE(2). The NI 43-101 compliant PAEE results for Stage I considers only 8% of the historical near-surface lithium deposit. Successful development of Stage I will allow the company to consider further expansion of production to meet anticipated growth of the lithium-ion battery industry. In December 2009, drilling was completed on the Stage II lithium historical resources and results are expected later in 2010. The company believes that its Nevada property has the potential to become a major USA-based global supplier of high quality lithium carbonate that can economically compete with other global producers of LCE.

Following the positive results of the PAEE, Western Lithium is now planning to proceed with further engineering and pilot plant studies to advance the project to prefeasibility. These studies are expected to be funded from the existing treasury. Western Lithium has approximately US$20 million in cash and no debt. The company is in discussions with various major lithium buyers to define product quality specifications, long-term supply requirements and expects to work with these groups through the piloting program.

(1) The preliminary assessment is preliminary in nature, and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

(2) A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources, Western Lithium is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. The Chevron Resources historical resource estimate of 11 million tonnes of LCE is at average grades ranging from 0.31% to 0.37% Li, March 1985. There is insufficient information regarding the categories used in the historical estimates to make a meaningful comparison to current resource categories under CIM Definition Standards of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.

Project Location

The Kings Valley property is located approximately 100 kilometers north-northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada, along U.S. Highway 95 and 40 km west-northwest of Orovada, Nevada, on paved state highway 293 with railroad access located in Winnemucca.

The project has the advantage of leveraging off an active mining industry in the Winnemucca area, with developed infrastructure and an experienced work force. Adequate electrical power is available and currently there is a 115 kVA power line that passes through the property. Water is available in the region and can be sourced from one of the nearby valleys. A major natural gas pipeline is located approximately 32 km to 60 km from the project site.

Mineral Resource Estimate

The Kings Valley lithium deposits occur in five areas of lithium mineralization (lenses) which are found in hectorite, a lithium-bearing clay mineral that occurs in thick, apparently continuous accumulations.

The Stage I mineralization on which the PAEE is based is the southernmost lens in the area of interest. The Stage I mineralized area is about 3 km by 2 km.

AMEC carried out lithium and potassium mineral resource estimates for the Stage I Lens, which forms the basis for this PAEE. The estimate conforms to Canadian National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

The initial lithium estimate was completed in December 2008 and has an effective date of December 15, 2008. That estimate was reported in an NI 43-101 technical report filed on SEDAR (AMEC, 2008) and is restated here. The potassium estimate was completed in November 2009 and has an effective date of November 15, 2009. The potassium estimate is based on data generated by reanalyzing the Western Lithium core samples for major elements (including K2O which is converted to potassium sulphate for the estimate).

The resource for Stage I has been classified as both an indicated and inferred mineral resource as defined by CIM Definition Standards. The following table presents the summary of lithium and potassium mineral resources at various cut-off grades. The potassium grade is presented at the lithium cut-off, as the potassium resource is considered a by-product of the lithium resource. The lithium and potassium resources are both within the same block model.

Metallurgical Testing

Metallurgical test work was performed at Kappes, Cassiday & Associates on samples from the King's Valley lithium deposit by various researchers. The design concept of Western Lithium's proposed facility is based in principle on the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) report, Lithium and Its Recovery from Low-grade Nevada Clays (USBM Bulletin 691, 1988). USBM performed laboratory tests on the clays obtained from the McDermitt Caldera, the same ore body discussed in this news release. The KCA test work confirmed that the USBM process for recovery of lithium from this deposit is technically viable.

The preferred processing concept was performed on composite of both the oxidized and unoxidized ore types of the deposit. This includes calcining of the ore with a mixture of limestone and gypsum, followed by water leaching to recover soluble lithium and other alkali sulphates. The following weighted average recoveries on the combined ore types were based on laboratory data and mass balance calculations:

- Lithium: 88.5%

- Potassium: 80.5%

Mineral Processing

The process steps in the selected flow sheet; drying, calcining, leaching, and lithium carbonate recovery; employ conventional, proven technologies and equipment. The crystallization process is based on industry published solubility data.

The key process step in this operation is a conversion of lithium (and other alkali metals) contained in the deposit from silicates to water-soluble sulphates employing a high temperature calciner by the addition of calcium sulphate. The advantage of this process is that the impurities in the ore remain insoluble, thus simplifying downstream recovery and refining process. The hot calcine is cooled by ambient air in a fluidized bed cooler. To further maximize the energy efficiency of the process, the remaining calciner off-gas is used in the waste heat boiler to produce steam.

The discharge solution from the lithium recovery process contains potassium and sodium sulphates and a significant amount of dissolved lithium. The primary objective of this crystallization process is to recover potassium sulphate as a marketable product.

The PAEE considers the preparation of an intermediate product, glaserite
(3 K2SO4.Na2SO4), followed by a direct crystallization and drying of potassium sulphate. This process has not been demonstrated commercially on this type of feed stock, but published solubility data indicate that the process is technically viable (Seidell, 1965).

Process Plant and Infrastructure Capital Cost

The capital cost estimate prepared for the metallurgical process facilities addresses a greenfield plant capable of processing 5,000 tonnes/day of ore (dry basis). The total cost to design, procure, construct, and commission the plant facilities is US$388 million with an accuracy of +/-35 percent AACE Class 5 estimate. The following table summarizes the process plant capital costs by major area.

These costs were determined using the consultants' in-house database and from soliciting budget price proposals for new equipment. The cost of the natural gas pipeline for the study was estimated by Southwest Gas Corporation. The cost of the Clay Production Facility was provided by JP Process Consulting.

Environmental Considerations and Community Involvement

Western Lithium is working with federal, state and local agencies that regulate mining activities in Nevada. These agencies include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following federal agencies: U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the state's Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation (BMRR), Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) and Humboldt County.

A Plan of Operation (POO) has been submitted to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) in May 2008 for an extensive drilling and trenching exploration program to further delineate the resources of the PCD Lens. That action included an Environmental Assessment. A revision to the POO was filed on November 10, 2009. This permit is pending, with approval anticipated in January 2010. No environmental liabilities are known to exist at the Kings Valley project site.

During the permitting process, including agency review and public notice, the nearby communities will be involved as project information is developed and potential environmental impacts are identified.

Western Lithium Receives Plan of Operation Permit for Nevada Lithium Project; Work Program Underway
marketwire

Press Release Source: Western Lithium Canada Corporation On Thursday February 11, 2010, 9:20 am

RENO, NEVADA--(Marketwire - 02/11/10) - Western Lithium Corporation (TSX-V:WLC - News)(PINK SHEETS:WLCDF - News) has received approval for its plan of operation for its Kings Valley Lithium Project in Nevada, USA.

Western Lithium's plan of operation, which was submitted in May 2008, was recently approved by both the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection. The work program will include an extensive drilling and trenching exploration program to further delineate the resources of Western Lithium's Stage I Lens, test suitable mining methods for the project and obtain bulk samples for use in pilot plant studies. The plan also included an environmental assessment.

"We are very pleased to receive this important permit for our Nevada lithium project," said Dennis Bryan, Western Lithium's Senior Vice President of Development. "We will now initiate further environmental and baseline studies, progressing toward the ultimate goal of permitting a mining operation on the Kings Valley site."

"We will continue to work closely with the BLM and other federal, state and local agencies that regulate mining activities in Nevada as we advance this project through to production," continued Bryan.

The drilling and trenching approved under this permit has commenced and is expected to take approximately eight weeks to complete with results expected later in 2010.

In addition, Western Lithium has filed its National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant Preliminary Assessment and Economic Evaluation on the Kings Valley Lithium Project (see Western Lithium January 12, 2010 news release). The complete report is now available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and at www.westernlithium.com.

Western Lithium is developing the Kings Valley, Nevada lithium deposit into potentially one of the world's largest(1) strategic, scalable and reliable sources of high quality lithium carbonate. The Company is positioning itself as a major U.S.-based supplier to support the rising global demand for lithium carbonate that is expected from the increased use of mobile electronics and hybrid/electric vehicles.

... go down, Jesus, way down, and find the ground, damit ich nachlegen kann.

Hab' schonmal 51 % + gemacht.

[spontanix]

Hoch ist die Nachfrage schon jetzt, weil Lithiumbatterien Millionen Mobiltelefone, Laptops, iPhones, Blackberrys und sogar Akkubohrer mit Strom speisen. Weltweit werden derzeit pro Jahr 93.000 Tonnen Lithium gefördert, die erschließbaren Reserven liegen laut Meridian International Research aber nur bei vier Millionen Tonnen. Die französischen Berater schätzen, dass wegen der steigenden Nachfrage der Elektronikbranche im Jahr 2015 gerade mal 30.000 Tonnen Lithium für Elektrovehikel zur Verfügung stehen. Das würde für nicht einmal 1,5 Millionen Hybridmotoren reichen

wenn ich mir nun überlege das "western lithium" gute 18 Jahre lang ~27000 tonnen aufgearbeitetes lithium jährlich herstellen will, wäre es sehr unwahrscheinlich, das sich kein großzügiger spender finden wird, um das gute zeug aus der erde zu wühlen
die infrastruktur ist ja auch schon vorhanden, also muss nichts großartig erschlossen werden.

Chris Berry knows an opportunity when it is rolling toward him. The House Mountain Partners founder sees the potential demand electric vehicles-and their batteries-will bring to the lithium market. While he waits for the impact predicted automotive, energy storage and generation innovation demand will have on the space, he has been busy researching companies using his 10-Point model to determine which juniors have the best chance of making it to the finish line. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Berry names the six companies that stand out from the fleet of explorers trying to stake their ground before they run out of momentum.

The Energy Report: You have been following the very crowded lithium space for some time. While predicted expanding energy storage demand (see Lithium Demand Will Spike: Daniela Desormeaux) has not yet had a big impact on prices, the number of companies in the space seems to be swelling by the month. Of the army of explorers getting into the lithium business, what are the top names in your book?

Follow us

Chris Berry: I categorize earlier-stage companies into three "buckets": incubator, mature and legacy. Incubator companies are extremely early stage and offer the highest short-term upside, but we know the least about the deposit in question and management teams might not be as seasoned as we would like. Mature companies are those with some history under their belts and an understanding of the geology and metallurgy of a given deposit with more experienced management teams. These companies also typically have NI 43-101 resource estimates or feasibility studies in place, which give investors a sense of potential economics of a deposit. Mature companies are those in production and generating earnings and cash flow. A legacy company is one which is in production and is generating cash flow and earnings. Management is typically very senior and has extensive experience in the natural reource business. Examples in the lithium space would be Talison Lithium Ltd. (TLH:TSX) or Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM:NYSE; SQM-B:SSX; SQM-A:SSX).

One mature lithium company that has received a lot of attention lately is Western Lithium USA Corp. (WLC:TSX; WLCDF:OTCQX). Perhaps the biggest news here is the appointment of a new chairman of the board. John Macken will step in for Ed Flood. Ed founded Western Lithium and is handing over the reins to John, who has been on the board of Western Lithium since 2008. This should be a seamless transition, which can help strategically position the company as it moves toward a production decision. John has a multitude of experience with "majors" such as Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (IVN:TSX; IVN:NYSE), where he served as president and CEO and focused on the development of Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia and at Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold (FCX:NYSE) where he was involved in the development of the Grasberg Mine in Indonesia as a senior vice president of Strategic Planning.

I think John's history of advancing projects across different commodities and in various parts of the world will be a key strength of Western Lithium going forward. Junior mining companies in markets today will need to act with both a strategic and creative vision to survive. I will be watching Western Lithium closely to see John's vision unfold.

The strong economics of WLC's King's Valley clay lithium deposit speaks for itself and I won't belabor them here. This is also a U.S.-based asset in a mining-friendly state, another intangible not currently reflected in the company's share price.

Wieder ein interessanter Artikel zum Lithium-Ionen-Akkus, der Durchbruch zur Massenmarktfähigkeit sollte aus meiner Sicht schneller kommen als viele denken. Und im Anschluss die Erwartung und tatsächliche Nachfrage nach Lithium


Rasante Entwicklung bei Lithium-Ionen-Akkus Elektromobilität

Rosige Zeiten für Elektroautos. Die Speicherkapazität von Lithium-Ionen-Batterien wächst, einige Fachleute rechnen sogar mit einer Verdopplung. Der Preis der Akkus sinkt und Elektroautos ziehen bei den Betriebskosten an Pkw mit Verbrennungsmotor vorbei, so Analysten von McKinsey.

Elektromobilität - Rasante Entwicklung bei Lithium-Ionen-Akkus

Die Leistung von Lithium-Ionen-Batterien kann extrem gesteigert werden. Künftige Katoden würden zu 50 Prozent mehr Speicherkapazität bieten, prognostizieren Entwickler, einige rechnen sogar mit einer Verdopplung. Das berichtet das Beratungsunternehmen McKinsey in einer Studie zur Technik und Preisentwicklung von Hochvolt-Batterien. Demnach wird allein bis 2020 wird die Kapazität der Lithium-Ionen-Batterien um 40 Prozent steigen. Die befragten Fachleute hegen große Erwartungen an die in der sogenannten "layered-layered"-Technik gefertigten Speicher aus abwechselnd aufgetragenen µm-dünnen Schichten elektrochemisch aktiven und inaktiven Kathoden. Internationale Chemiekonzerne, darunter die deutsche BASF und die US-amerikanische LG Chem, haben für die neue Katoden-Technik Lizenzen erworben, um die Kommerzialisierung voranzutreiben. Weitere 30 Prozent Kapazitätszuwachs bei Lithium-Ionen-Batterien sind zu erwarten, wenn ein Materialwechsel bei den Anoden von Graphit zu Silizium basierter Technik gelingt. Beim Aufladen wandern die Lithium-Ionen in die Anode, wo sie zwischen den Graphitschichten eingelagert werden. Beim Entladen wandern sie wieder zurück zur Kathode. Silizium könnte mehr Lithium-Ionen speichern als Graphit, aber es dehnt sich bei der Aufladung stark aus und schrumpft bei Entladung wieder zusammen. Nach mehreren Zyklen sind die notwendigen dünnen Silizium-Schichten dann pulverisiert und lassen sich nicht mehr aufladen. Geforscht wird daran, ein poröses Silizium-Anodenmaterial herzustellen, das den Zyklenbelastungen standhalten kann. Anoden aus hochporösem Silizium zeigen nach Angaben von Wissenschaftlern eine hohe Ladungskapazität für Lithium-Ionen. Diese werden zudem rasch transportiert und eingelagert, so dass schnelle Lade- und Entlade-Prozesse möglich sind. Eine hohe spezifische Kapazität wird auch bei hohen Strömen erreicht. McKinsey geht davon aus, dass die technische Weiterentwicklung, die optimierten Fertigungstechniken sowie die sinkende Margen zum Preissturz bei Lithium-Ionen-Batterien führen werden. Laut Studie soll der Preis für Hochvolt-Akkus von heute umgerechnet 400 bis 550 Euro auf 160 Euro je Kilowattstunde im Jahr 2020 sinken. Fünf Jahre später erwarten die Berater sogar ein Niveau um 130 Euro je Kilowattstunde. Im Vergleich der Gesamtbetriebskosten nimmt die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Elektroautos gegenüber Pkw mit Verbrennungsmotor ab Batteriekosten um 220 Euro je Kilowattstunde rasant zu – und das bei aktuellen US-Kraftstoffpreisen von umgerechnet ca. 0,85 Euro je Liter. "Wenn die Preise von Lithium-Ionen-Akkus bis 2025 tatsächlich auf 130 Euro je Kilowattstunde sinken, dürfte der Kraftstoff vergleichsweise noch 0,40 Euro je Liter kosten, damit Verbrennungsmotoren mithalten können", sagt Hans-Werner Kaas, der bei McKinsey die Automobilberatung in Nord- und Südamerika leitet. Die McKinsey-Branchenanalysten erwarten, dass schon bis 2015 die Preisschwelle von 300 Euro je Kilowattstunde bei Lithium-Ionen-Akkus erreichen werden kann. Sie rechnen damit, dass die Preisspanne in den Lieferketten um 20 bis 40 Prozent sinkt. Der Preis für Lithium-Ionen-Akkus läge 2020 nur noch bei 160 Euro je Kilowattstunde, wenn die Prognose zutrifft, dass bis dahin die Fertigungsprozesse in der Autoindustrie Jahr für Jahr um 3 Prozent effizienter werden und weitere Skaleneffekte und Reifeprozesse greifen. In den folgenden fünf Jahren bis 2025 sind laut Studie weitere 26 Euro Preissenkung drin. Zwei Drittel davon gingen laut Berichterstatter auf verbesserte Elektrolyte und Kathoden zurück. Aber schon ein Preis von 160 Euro je Kilowattstunde im Jahr 2020 hätte laut Kaas große Auswirkungen auf die am Automobilbau beteiligten Branchen.Wolfgang Pester/SP-X

In dem Blog meldet sich auch Dennis Bryan von Western Lithium positiv zur weitren Entwicklung zu Wort:


Nevada Mining Blog
The Diversification of Nevada Mining: Lithium

Our “Diversification in Nevada Mining” series continues with a look at lithium – an element that will prove to be particularly important to both Nevada and the United States in the years to come.

“Lithium has been around for awhile, but has really taken off in the past 10 years in regards to battery technology,” explained Dennis Bryan, senior vice president of Western Lithium. “With the increase in cell phone use and portable electronics, lithium’s share of the battery market has grown tremendously. We believe this trend will continue for years to come.”

Bryan explained that lithium’s unique properties make it ideal for battery use in mobile products because it has the highest electric output per unit weight of any material. Lithium is the lightest of all metals with a density of about half that of water, but the metal can still produce a large amount of power. The density-to-power ratio of lithium has led to everything from watches, cell phones, wireless handheld devices, electronic games, calculators, video cameras, power tools, laptops and other products incorporating the element for its higher energy density and lighter weight.

In recent years, hybrid/electronic car manufacturers now favor lithium batteries, pushing the mineral’s demand considerably higher. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Renault, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Ford, Chevrolet and GM have all shown significant interest in lithium, providing the largest upside potential for lithium demand in the future. Whereas the lithium content in a cell phone might be a fraction of a gram, the lithium content in an electric vehicle can be in excess of 25 lbs. This is where the tremendous growth in lithium is occurring.

South America currently dominates the production of lithium with Bolivia and Chile possessing the world’s largest known lithium deposits. One Nevada mine – Chemetall Foote Corporation’s Silver Peak Operations – is currently producing a lithium based compound. In 2011, the mine produced approximately three million pounds of lithium carbonate. Western Lithium of Nevada, plans to soon join them in the production of the mineral. Based in Kings Valley, Nev., the company is believed to have the world’s fifth largest lithium deposit. The Kings Valley project is currently being developed, and depending on market conditions, Western Lithium hopes to be producing in excess of 10,000 tons per year of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) within the next few years.

“We believe there will be room for Nevada in the lithium market as it continues to grow,” shared Bryan. “It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when.”

RENO, NEVADA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/05/13 -- Western Lithium USA Corporation ("Western Lithium", the "Company") (TSX:WLC)(OTCQX:WLCDF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement with RK Mine Finance (Master) Fund II L.P. ("Red Kite") pursuant to which Red Kite has agreed to pay to Western Lithium up to US$20 million in consideration for the sale of a royalty on its Kings Valley Project, located in Nevada, USA. An initial tranche of US$11 million will be funded concurrently with the closing of the royalty arrangement. A second tranche of US$9 million will be funded upon completion of the engineering and design of the lithium demonstration plant and once certain regulatory assurances have been received from the Bureau of Land Management with respect to the sale of by-products associated with lithium production, provided it occurs within three years following the date of the agreement. Closing of the royalty arrangement is expected to occur on or about February 6, 2013.

Western Lithium plans to use the initial funding tranche to construct a 10,000 ton per year process facility to produce Hectorite-based organoclay used in the oil and gas drilling industry. To make organoclay, the Company's Hectorite clay must be processed using an extruder and combined with several additives. Organoclay typically sells in a range of US$2,000 to $4,500 per short ton FOB shipping point, depending on performance. Engineering designs for a plant and negotiations for potential production locations are underway. Permitting of the Hectorite mine has commenced in Nevada and the Company is targeting to commence production and positive cash flow in early 2014 from the clay operation. The Company has been producing pilot-scale samples of its products, which demonstrate thermal stability for application in high pressure high temperature (HPHT) drilling exploration environments. With the success of new directional drilling technology in recent years applied to shale gas and deep oil and gas drilling targets, the Company anticipates that there is a strong growth market for its thermally stable Hectorite products. Western Lithium's Hectorite clay is of high purity, which enables it to use a dry process to manufacture its products, that is expected to give the Company a cost advantage in the industry. A portion of the proceeds from the initial tranche will also be used to complete the design and engineering for a lithium demonstration plant.

The second tranche of funding is principally allocated towards the construction of a demonstration plant to test the viability of its lithium extraction process at a large scale. The Company released a pre-feasibility study in January 2012 (see news release dated January 27, 2012) that demonstrated competitive economics and a pre-tax net present project value of US$551 million at an 8% discount rate. Western Lithium believes that the next natural step is to work with an engineering technology group or strategic partner to further de-risk the process technology, in order to attract construction capital for the project.

Jay Chmelauskas, President and CEO of Western Lithium, commented: "Over the next year, we will focus our efforts on our specialty Hectorite drilling additive business with the expectation of generating positive cash flow for the Company in early 2014. In the longer term, we will construct a lithium demonstration plant to gain investment confidence with our project, and to realize the full potential of its asset value. We are positioning Red Kite and our shareholders and stakeholders to expected near term strong growth in the drilling industry and longer term strong growth in the lithium sector."

The royalty will be a gross royalty on all production from the Kings Valley Project. It will consist of a gross revenue royalty of 8% until the first and second funding tranches have been repaid. The royalty will then be reduced to 3.5% for the life of the project. Western Lithium will have the option at any time to reduce the royalty to 1.75% upon payment to Red Kite of US$20 million.

Western Lithium has agreed to pay a finder's fee to Haywood Capital Markets in respect of the transaction equal to 6% of the proceeds raised in both tranches. For the first tranche, the finder's fees will, subject to approval of the TSX, be paid as to US$429,000 in cash and US$231,000 in common shares issuable at the five day volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing.

Lithium Mining Company Finanzierungsvereinbarung
Western Lithium USA (TSX: WLC) an Holen Sie sich $ 20 Millionen

Wednesday, 6. Februar 2013

Western Lithium USA Corporation (TSX: WLC) hat eine Royalty Purchase Agreement mit RK Bergwerk Finance (Master) Fund II LP, oder Red Kite erreicht.

Unter den Bedingungen der Vereinbarung wird Red Kite bezahlen Western Lithium bis zu 20 Millionen Dollar für eine Lizenzgebühr auf der Unternehmens Kings Valley Projekt in Nevada.

Da die Lizenzgebühren Vereinbarung schließt innerhalb der nächsten paar Tage, eine erste Tranche von USD 11 Mio. gefördert werden. Sobald die Lithium-Demonstrationsanlage abgeschlossen ist, wird eine zweite Tranche von 9.000.000 $ finanziert werden.

Dies müsste innerhalb von drei Jahren auftreten, nachdem der Vertrag abgeschlossen.

Western Lithium beabsichtigt, diese Mittel verwenden, um eine Verarbeitungsanlage mit einer Kapazität von 10.000 Tonnen pro Jahr auf Organoton Herstellung zu entwickeln.

Organoton, in der Öl-und Gasindustrie, in der Regel verkauft für $ 2.000 - $ 4.500 pro Tonne FOB Versandstelle, Junior Mining Netzwerk Berichte. Der Prozess erfordert Abbau von Hectoritton, und das Unternehmen hat bereits die Genehmigungsverfahren für eine solche Mine in Nevada begonnen. Das Unternehmen erwartet, um zu sehen, Produktions-und Cashflow bekommen Anfang nächsten Jahres gehen.

Als Ölschiefer Operationen zunehmend auf die Richtbohrtechnologie verlassen, ist diese Art von thermisch stabil Hectorite, die wahrscheinlich unter starken Nachfrage kommen.

Später wird die zweite Tranche der Finanzierung zur Entwicklung einer Demonstrationsanlage des Unternehmens präsentieren zu gehen Lithium-Extraktion .

Junior Mining Network berichtet:

Jay Chmelauskas, President und CEO von Western Lithium, kommentiert:. "Im Laufe des nächsten Jahres werden wir unsere Anstrengungen auf unsere Spezialität Hectorite Bohren additive Geschäft konzentrieren mit der Erwartung erzeugt einen positiven Cashflow für das Unternehmen Anfang 2014 Auf längere Sicht, Wir konstruieren eine Lithium-Demonstrationsanlage für Investitionen Zuversicht, mit unserem Projekt zu gewinnen, und um das volle Potenzial ihrer Asset Value realisieren. Wir positionieren Red Kite und unseren Aktionären und Stakeholdern zu erwarten kurzfristig ein starkes Wachstum in der Bohrindustrie und langfristig starke Wachstum in der Lithium-Sektor. "

Die vorgenannten Lizenzgebühren wird auf die gesamte Produktion, die aus dem Kings Valley Project basiert, und wird auf 8 Prozent bewertet werden, bis beide Tranchen getilgt worden.

Western Lithium Proceeds with Environmental Assessment and Detailed Engineering for 10,000 tpa Drilling Additive Organoclay Operation in Nevada

Reno, Nev., USA: Western Lithium USA Corporation (“Western Lithium”, the “Company”, TSX: WLC; OTCQX: WLCDF) is pleased to announce that the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) has concluded that the Company’s Kings Valley PLAN OF OPERATIONS for its drilling additives hectorite organoclay business, submitted in late 2012, is complete and they have initiated the National Environmental Policy Act review process for the project. The preparation of an Environmental Assessment by the BLM is underway and the Company expects that the permitting process to allow commercial mine operations will be completed within twelve months, targeting early 2014 for commercial production. The clay mined at Kings Valley will be transported to the Company’s proposed plant facility. The Company is currently negotiating the terms for a plant site, which includes existing buildings and infrastructure that can facilitate the Company’s proposed organoclay plant.

The Company has engaged Precision Systems Engineering (“PSE”), based in Salt Lake City, Utah, to complete detailed engineering design, procurement and construction of the planned organoclay plant facility with an initial capacity of 10,000 tons per annum. PSE is a multi-disciplined engineering firm that specializes in heavy industrial processing facilities. Western Lithium is targeting the beginning of 2014 to have the organoclay plant facility built and ready for commissioning.

The Company has obtained relevant permits and plans to test-mine approximately 5,000 tons of hectorite clay in 2013, to be on hand, in order to commission the organoclay plant facility. In May or June of this year, Western Lithium will begin test-mining approximately 1,000 tons of hectorite clay at its Kings Valley property. A further 4,000 tons of hectorite clay is planned to be test-mined during additional campaigns through 2013.

The hectorite clay mined from Western Lithium’s Kings Valley Clay Mine will be processed to produce organoclays that are used as viscosifiers in drilling fluids, a key part of the oil and gas deep drilling process. Hectorite’s main advantage lies in its thermal stability, which makes it a superior product to bentonite for high pressure and high temperature drilling applications.

Western Lithium: Optimizing Opportunities in Lithium
Monday April 22, 2013, 4:15am PDT

By Melissa Pistilli - Exclusive to Lithium Investing News
Share on email Email

Western Lithium: Optimizing Opportunities in LithiumMost lithium investors think of brine and hard rock when it comes to lithium deposits. However, about 7 percent of the world’s known lithium resources are found at about the same concentrations as are commonly found in hard-rock ore in a rare white clay mineral known as hectorite. One of the world’s largest hectorite deposits is located in Northern Nevada’s Humboldt County and is owned by Western Lithium USA (TSX:WLC).

The Kings Valley project encompasses five zones of lithium mineralization over an area of 8,480 hectares. Earlier this month, Western Lithium announced that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has accepted its plan of operations on the project. An environmental assessment is now underway, with permitting expected to be completed within 12 months. But it’s not lithium that’s being produced — not yet. Hectorite clay’s thermal stability makes it ideally suited for use as a viscosifier in the drilling fluids required for high-pressure and high-temperature deep, directional drilling applications in the oil and gas industry.

Western Lithium’s long-term goal is to become a dominant player in the battery-grade lithium carbonate market; however, in the near-term, the company is focused on developing a value-added specialty hectorite drilling additive business to take advantage of strong growth in the oil and gas drilling industry. That’s a smart move given that the company will be able to generate positive cash flow by early next year, when many of its junior resource peers are struggling to lock down financing.

“Western Lithium is looking carefully at this strategy as it would generate cash flow from selling our unique specialty hectorite products for deep drilling applications to develop new sources of natural gas and oil,” stated Western Lithium’s CEO, Jay Chmelauskas, in a press release. “The specialty clay market and other associated products to service this energy sector, have seen double digit growth over the past year, and we expect this trend to continue.”

Western Lithium plans to build a processing facility to produce organoclays (viscosifiers in drilling fluids) from the hectorite clay mined at Kings Valley and has targeted early 2014 for the commencement of commercial production. Construction of the plant will be financed by the initial $11-million funding tranche of a Royalty Purchase Agreement signed with mine financing firm Red Kite. “The fact that they’ve found another way to monetize the assets at Kings Valley and provide cash flow in this tough market is really unique,” Jeb Handwerger, mining analyst and publisher of the Gold Stock Trades website told Lithium Investing News. “Receiving $11 million in today’s market is impressive.”

The plant is anticipated to have an initial capacity of 10,000 tons per year and the company expects to see positive cash flow within 12 months of a production decision. Having a positive cash flow will allow Western Lithium to survive the current downturn in the mining sector and eventually advance as the lithium market rebounds in the coming years, said Handwerger.

Derisking lithium production from clay

The Kings Valley deposit’s lithium-bearing clay lies near the surface, meaning it can be easily mined by open-pit methods. “I believe for the US it is a strategic asset, especially if you look at the long-term fundamentals in the lithium market,” commented Handwerger.

For Western Lithium to gain the attention of the lithium battery sector, it will need to convince investors, analysts and end users that it can extract lithium carbonate from clay on a commercial scale­­ — a feat that has yet to be achieved — and at a production cost that is competitive with Chile’s low-cost brine operations. The company plans to extract lithium from the clay using a pyrometallurgical, or roasting, method first developed by Chevron Resources in the 1980s.

Western Lithium intends to derisk the lithium mining side of the project by constructing a lithium demonstration plant to test the viability of its lithium extraction process on an industrial scale. The company plans to use funds from the initial tranche of the Royalty Purchase Agreement with Red Kite to design and engineer the plant. It has until the first quarter of 2016 to complete the design and engineering stage and obtain regulatory assurances from the BLM. If it does that, it will be able to obtain a second tranche of funding totalling $9 million for the construction of the lithium demonstration plant.

Western Lithium signed an agreement in 2011 with the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory to analyze and develop a battery specification for the company’s lithium carbonate products. Lithium carbonate from the Kings Valley project was tested for performance by Argonne, which used the material to manufacture several electrochemical test cells with three different cathode types (spinel LiMn2O4, olivine LiFePO4 and layered LiNi0.25Mn0.75O4). Data collected from testing shows excellent cycle performance and a good voltage profile.

In January 2013, Western Lithium released a prefeasibility study on the Kings Valley project. It demonstrates a pre-tax net present value of $551 million at an 8-percent discount rate. Initial capex, including contingency, is expected to be approximately $248 million, with additional development capital of $161 million to double lithium carbonate production to 26,000 metric tons per year. The mine has an estimated operating life of 20 years with expansion potential.

Jay Chmelauskas explains the benefits of the lithium battery and the electric car.
13 hours ago • By DEE HOLZEL Mining Quarterly Staff Writer
(0) Comments

WINNEMUCCA — For now, there’s not much going on at the Western Lithium mine site located 60 miles north of Winnemucca, but the future of electric batteries dependent on lithium is promising, and the current use of hectorite organoclays in directional drilling is even more promising.

Western Lithium President Jay Chmelauskas explained the electric car industry is in transition from earlier technology of nickel-metal hybrid batteries to ones dependent on lithium. He explained the change occurred first in small-scale electronics, such as computers and cordless tools.

“There has been nice growth in lithium demand market over the last several years,” Chmelauskas said. “With an 8 percent annual growth in lithium demand based on small-scale electronics alone.”

The benefits have since made their way into electric cars.

Lithium batteries are seen as positive for the auto industry due to the fact they have higher energy density and therefore better performance, Chmelauskas explained. Lithium batteries have three times the energy density, the battery is one-third the size, and can go three times further.

Companies such as Tesla offer all electric vehicles utilizing lithium batteries, with 100 pounds of lithium in the battery.

“We have been placing our demand expectation on this new demand from the electrification of automobiles,” Chmelauskas said.

Consumers are satisfied with their electric cars — himself included — and as demand has increased prices have begun dropping, which may increase demand even more in the long run — a positive development.

The diversification of the energy market will not only be positive for the consumer, Chmelauskas pointed out, but may be advantageous for the state as well.

Areas where there has been energy diversification development have also seen the growth of supporting technology and increases in jobs for related fields. Tesla, for example, took a leadership role in the electric car industry and as a result there was job growth for scientists and software engineers, etc.

There is an opportunity to create a larger economy, Chmelauskas said, a macro opportunity starting with the raw materials located in the state.

However, the lithium market is still developing and it will be several years before the first ounce of lithium is mined in Humboldt County. Western Lithium has not yet even begun the permitting process as the company watches the world lithium market develop to the point mining it becomes profitable.

In the meantime, the company has decided to take advantage of the byproduct: hectorite clay. Western Lithium is in the permitting process to mine clay, which is used in drilling for oil and natural gas.

Dennis Bryan, senior vice president of development, said the company has purchased a property in Fernley and is constructing a facility for the development of the clay, which should be operational next spring or summer.

The company will be permitted to mine 15,000 - 20,000 tons of clay per year; once the lithium mining starts the clay byproduct may be closer to 100,000 tons per year.

Although the mining of industrial clay is usually not controversial, its use in what has become known as fracking is.

Fracking is the short name for hydraulic fracturing, the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at high pressure to fracture shale rocks to release the natural gas or oil inside.

Chmelauskas acknowledged the negative consequences of fracking need to be managed and mitigated, but he added the development of alternative energies would have other positive benefits, such as the improvement of air quality.

“We used to burn firewood, coal, and natural gas,” he said. “The transition has always produced something better.”

Western Lithium anticipates mining 30,000 tons of lithium carbonate per year and may employ 120-130 people at the Humboldt County mine site. Although small in comparison to the area’s gold mines, it does represent a diversification of an economy largely reliant on gold mining.

Mining lithium is very similar to other types of mining, except it occurs in clay as opposed to hard rock. Chmelauskas said the skills acquired in hard-rock mining of metals will be applicable to lithium mining, and those skills will be very desirable in potential employees once the mine is operational.

The lithium-rich clay deposit is located 60 miles north of Winnemucca and is generally considered the fifth largest lithium deposit in the world. The majority of the world’s lithium is currently mined in South America.

Entschuldigt die schlechte Deutsche Übersetzung durch das Translate-Programm:

Westliche Lithium: Potenzielle Multi Commodity Producer bis 2018
29. Januar 2014 11:15 AM ET | Von: WLCDF
Offenlegung: Ich bin lange WLCDF. (Mehr...)
Western Lithium (OTCQX:WLCDF) ist eine Förderung seiner Kings Valley Project Nevada-basierte Entwicklung. Kings Valley ist eine einmalige Anzahlung, die "Schichtsilikat" (Wert als Bohren Additiv im Bereich Öl/Gas) sowie erhebliche Reserven von "Lithiumcarbonat" (Wert als unersetzlicher Bestandteil der Lithium-Ionen-Batterien) enthält. Wenn WLC seine Business-Plan in den nächsten 4 bis 5 Jahren ausführen kann, werden das Unternehmen Hersteller von beide Produkte durch einen optimierten Betrieb. Neben der Besonderheit wird, dass WLC das einzige Unternehmen weltweit produziert diese scheinbar widersprüchlichen Produkte (Kohlenwasserstoffe und Elektro-Autos selten hand in hand gehen), Western Lithium ist zum Preis von Bruchteilen von der zukünftigen Cashflows, die generiert werden können. Das macht mich glauben, dass WLC einen sehr hohen erwarteten Wert im Verhältnis zu seinem aktuellen Preis hat.
Während hohe Erwartungswert ein notwendiger Bestandteil eine gute Investition ist, gibt es ein weiterer wichtiger Kriterien - die Margin of Safety. Die Möglichkeiten mit erheblichen Vorteil und minimalen Nachteil sind das Brot und Butter des Value investing. Wenn die Partnerschaft zunächst WLC gekauft, das Unternehmen angeboten eine gute Sicherheitsmarge aus zwei Hauptgründen: (1) eine Working-Capital-Position, die 50 % der des Unternehmens Marktkapitalisierung mit Potenzial in 2014 und (2) eine hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit der positiven Cash Flow kurzfristig zu erhöhen.
Die Partnerschaft hat WLC innerhalb der letzten sechs Monate mit durchschnittlichen Kosten von $0,23 pro Aktie erworben. Ab 15.01., Western Lithium ist Handel bei $0,31 mit ein ~ $31 M Marktkapitalisierung (und ungefähr $12 M im Working Capital). Mehr Geld für die Partnerschaft verfügbar wird, ist WLC ein strong Buy auf diesen Ebenen.
Investitionen These für Schichtsilikat
Konventionelle Öl- und Gasreserven weiterhin zum Abbau, haben Energie-Unternehmen begonnen, Tiefe Bohrverfahren zur Produktionssteigerung durchzuführen. Diese Recovery-Methoden, oft bezeichnet als "horizontale Bohrungen," gebohrt machen derzeit eine große Anzahl von neuen Brunnen innerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten. Laut der US Energy Information Administration entfallen horizontale Bohrungen jetzt etwa 23 % von allen US-Erdgas-Produktion. Aufgrund der Hochdruck Beschaffenheit von diesen Brunnen sind erhebliche Mengen an Zusatzstoffen Bohren in den Brunnen zu höhere Ebenen der Produktion führen gepumpt. Wohl die wichtigste dieser Stoffe "Schichtsilikat" nennt.
