Western Lithium

wohl aufgrund der Namensänderung ist die Aktie in meinem Depot nicht mehr handelbar; was muss man da jetzt machen?

[athewinner]

Besser die Firma bringt keine Nachrichten mehr raus, denn der Kurs fällt jedes mal nachher

[Bluestones]

Ich kann es auch nicht glauben was der Kurs macht...
Vielleicht hängt es mit der Bekanntheit des namens zusammen...

[Andrija]

Eine Namensänderung die zu einem Kursverlust von 20% führt?

Tesla: Musk bestätigt mobiles Batteriekonzept zur Reichweitenverlängerung

Palo Alto, USA / Stuttgart - Der Geschäftsführer des US-amerikanischen Elektrofahrzeugherstellers Tesla, Elon Musk, hat bekannt gegeben, dass das Unternehmen über die Einführung mobiler Batteriekonzepte nachdenkt. Damit könnten zukünftig unbegrenzte Reichweiten für Elektrofahrzeuge erreicht werden.

Das deutsche High-Tech Unternehmen Nomadic Power entwickelt bereits solche „Range Extender“ (Reichweitenverlängerer), die schon 2016 auf den Stand der Serienreife kommen könnten.

Elektroautos für Überlandfahrten und Fernreisen
Nomadic Power mit seinen Entwicklungszentren in Stuttgart und Palo Alto arbeitet mit der Unterstützung der Europäischen Union und der Deutschen Bundesregierung an dieser „disruptiven Mobilitätslösung“. Die Europäische Kommission fördert die Entwicklung der Nomadic Range-Extender mit 2 Millionen Euro.
Die mobilen Batterien werden ähnlich wie Anhänger an das Elektroauto gekoppelt und sollen an Autobahntankstellen gemietet werden können. So könnte beispielsweise der Fahrer eines Elektroautos, der von München nach Berlin reist, die Batterie außerhalb von München anhängen und kurz vor Berlin wieder abgeben, um in der Stadt dann flexibler und leichter zu sein.

Nomadic erfreut über Aussage von Musk
"Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Elon Musk, über ein Range-Extender-Konzept wie das unsere nachdenkt, um die Reichweite der Tesla Modelle noch weiter zu vergrößern“, so der Nomadic-Geschäftsführer Dr. Manfred Baumgärtner. Die Batterien von Nomadic, auch „Nomads“ genannt, haben eine Speicherkapazität von 85 Kilowattstunden (kWh) und würden die Reichweite von Elektroautos um rund 450 Kilometer verlängern.

Western Lithium Company (January 2016 Update)

http://seekingalpha.com/article/3856806-western-lithium-comp…

Non-Binding JV Agreement With POSCO Announced In August.
Argentina Is An Attractive Mining Jurisdiction Again.
First Production at Cauchari-Olaroz Expected In H1 2017.
Western Lithium Company (OTCQX:WLCDF)
Featured In: January 2014
Partnership Average Cost per Share: $0.24 CAD
Current Market Price (January 15, 2016): $0.32 CAD
Western Lithium was the Partnership's featured investment in January 2014.

When I last provided an update on WLC in July, the company was trading at approximately $0.60 a share. Since then, despite the skyrocketing lithium price (see chart below) and significant internal progress, the WLC share price has suffered a nearly 50% decline! This presents an excellent buying opportunity for investors that don't want to miss out on the lithium boom.
Before getting into WLC specifics, it's important to address the dramatic movement that we've recently seen in the lithium carbonate spot price. Make no mistake, price spikes like these ALWAYS END for one of the following reasons: (1) increased supply as higher cost projects become economic, (2) demand destruction due to substitution, or (3) a combination of 1 and 2.

It is in the best interest of the lithium industry to ensure that this "lithium carbonate bubble" ends for reason 1, and NOT reason 2. If prices continue to rise and new supply is not adequately brought online, there will be serious long-term consequences regarding large-scale adoption of lithium ion batteries. In other words, there will be massive demand destruction if prices stay too high for too long. (While the parallels aren't perfect, look at what happened to rare earth demand after the bubble earlier this decade.) It is in the lithium industry's best interest to bring 2-3 new lithium projects online as quickly as possible to avoid this fate.

With this pretext, I am confident that Western Lithium (and their Cauchari-Olaroz lithium brine project in Argentina) will be one of the next 2-3 large-scale lithium projects to reach production. Here are the key reasons:

1. There aren't many late stage competitors, with only Galaxy Resources (Sal de Vida project), Nemaska Lithium (Whabouchi project), and Neometals (Mount Marion project) coming to mind. Remember that it can take up to 10 years to bring a newly discovered mineral deposit to production. Early stage lithium plays have seen substantial share price gains over the past few quarters, but I don't think the market understands how much work has to be done for these new deposits to ultimately reach production. Western Lithium's Cauchari-Olaroz project has a massive lead over these upstarts - it's been in development since 2010, has released an economic Feasibility Study, and has already received mining permits. The company projects that first production will begin in H1 2017.

2. The company has already released a positive Feasibility Study in 2012 with the following headline numbers: an initial capex of $269m USD, a post-tax NPV of $464m USD, a post-tax IRR of 19.9%, and a post-tax payback of 5 years. While the report has likely lost some accuracy in the 3 years since its release, it does provide a decent ballpark figure for what Cauchari-Olaroz is worth. The kicker is that the price of lithium used in this study was a mere $6,000 USD per tonne. Take a look at where we are now - current prices are more than double that assumption! This gives me certainty that Cauchari-Olaroz would be a very robust operation at current lithium prices.

3. The third reason is that Western Lithium has already found a provider of project financing for Cauchari-Olaroz. This party is the $12B South Korean-conglomerate POSCO, with which the WLC reached a "Heads of Agreement ('HOA') regarding the commercialization of the company's Cauchari-Olaroz lithium project" in August 2015. This is a huge stamp of approval for the project as a whole. The only negative is that since this announcement the two parties have been locked in negotiations regarding the project's financing terms. This delay is hurting both parties, but I expect a binding JV agreement to be signed by the end of Q1 2016. This agreement is the single biggest outstanding catalyst for WLC shares at current. Hopefully the spiking lithium price instills urgency in both parties.

4. With the recent election of right-leaning Mauricio Macri as president, Argentina is an attractive place to build a mine again. This should see foreign direct investments into Argentina spike over the following 12 months - Macri himself expects $20B of FDI into Argentina in 2016. In January alone, we saw Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) announce a $1b investment and Renault-Nissan pledge $600m shortly thereafter. Indirectly, this change in the political landscape gives WLC leverage over POSCO, who seem to be stalling for a more attractive deal. If this posturing continues for too long, WLC should be able to attract plenty of alternative financing options for Cauchari-Olaroz (either on a project or company level).

In light of the above information, I believe that WLC shares provide attractive relative value at current levels. Out of conservatism, let's use the post-tax NPV number of $464m USD as the company's "fair value". This is very conservative because (1) this NPV number was obtained using lithium carbonate prices that are less than half of current spot prices and (2) this "fair value" ignores any potential upside from Kings Valley's lithium/organoclay operations. Given the company's stage (FS released, mining permit received, project financing nearly secured, construction to begin imminently), this fair value should be discounted by approximately 60% to represent outstanding risks for the project. The result is an expected value of $185m USD, which is roughly 3x greater than Western Lithium's net enterprise value at current share prices.

The two biggest milestones for WLC shareholders to look for this year are the signing of a definitive JV agreement with POSCO and the commencement of construction at Cauchari-Olaroz. These should occur in the immediate term - I would be disappointed if both of these weren't completed in H1 of this year. Looking farther ahead, I'd like to see the following two events fall into place by year end: (1) WLC's hectatone operations become cash flow positive and (2) more ambitiously, the release of a FS for lithium production at King's Valley.

In short, Western Lithium looks attractive right now. Even with conservative assumptions (and ignoring any value from the Nevada operations), the current WLC share price seems to offer substantial relative value. Meanwhile the company has sufficient working capital to survive the next year without an equity raise, plus has some major catalysts in store for 2016.

Western Lithium Progress and Timeline Update for Lithium Supply Projects in Nevada, USA and Jujuy, Argentina

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 24, 2015) - Western Lithium USA Corporation ("Western Lithium", the "Company") (TSX:WLC)(OTCQX:WLCDF) is pleased to provide an update on the progress and timeline of the Kings Valley and Cauchari-Olaroz lithium Projects.

In Nevada, the Company plans to engage an engineering firm to identify a feasible gas pipeline alignment and perform preliminary pipeline engineering to connect the Kings Valley Lithium Project (the "Kings Valley Project") with the Ruby Gas Interstate Pipeline. The Company will also initiate additional preliminary engineering work related to the development of the project's water resources. In addition, testing campaigns commenced at the Company's lithium and potassium demonstration facilities located in Weimar and Sondershausen, Germany. The testing campaigns are scheduled to be concluded by January 2016 and will support design criteria and equipment selection for a definitive Feasibility Study. A video of the Company's demonstration plant can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAF9Wrf8Vxc.

The completion of these tasks will facilitate the preparation of the Kings Valley Project's Plan of Operations after which mine permitting will be initiated with the Bureau of Land Management, Winnemucca District Office, that aligns with a potential project construction start up targeted in early 2019.

In Argentina, Western Lithium's subsidiary, Lithium Americas Corp., recently signed a Heads of Agreement ("HOA") with POSCO, a major South Korean steel and materials company. The HOA defined the basic conditions of a joint venture to develop a portion of the Cauchari-Olaroz lithium brine deposit. The plant is expected to be producing 2,500 tons per annum by year-end 2016, and ramping up to 20,000 tons by year-end 2017. Mutual due diligence has commenced, and the Company expects a definitive Joint Venture Agreement to be finalized by year-end 2015 (see press release August 27, 2015).

Jay Chmelauskas, CEO of Western Lithium USA Corporation commented: "Lithium market conditions appear to be tight. On September 15th, a major lithium producer, FMC Corporation, raised lithium prices for all lithium products by 15% effective October 1, 2015, citing growing demand and a need to re-invest to continue reliable supply of high-quality lithium products. The Heads of Agreement signed with our Korean partner calls for lithium production at our Cauchari-Olaroz project to commence by early 2017. In Nevada, the initiation of engineering work associated with the gas and water pipelines, along with the completion of additional campaigns at our lithium demonstration facilities in Germany, will provide the criteria to sequence the development of our Nevada based lithium project, after our near term Jujuy, Argentina based lithium project, to coincide with what we believe will be significant demand increases for lithium products from the transportation, storage and consumer electronics sector."

About Western Lithium

Western Lithium is positioning itself as a major U.S. and Argentinian based supplier to support the rising global demand for lithium that is expected from the increased use of hybrid/electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and consumer and industrial lithium battery energy storage applications.

At the Cauchari-Olaroz lithium project, located in Jujuy province, Argentina, a major lithium brine reserve has been defined and a definitive feasibility study has been completed. In addition, and as previously announced on August 27, 2015, a Heads of Agreement has been signed with a Korean conglomerate regarding the commercialization of that project using their own proprietary technology and a revised engineering study.

The Kings Valley lithium project is being developed into a strategic, scalable and reliable source of high quality lithium products. In addition, Western Lithium is pursuing the opportunity to be a supplier of specialty drilling additives, Hectatone™ and potentially other organoclays for the oil and gas and other industries.

Kein Abnahmevertrag mit Tesla, Bacanora Minerals war heute schneller. Ich verliere hier langsam aber sich das Vertrauen. Die Truppe wurschtelt schon seit Jahren ohne große Fortschritte vor sich hin. Gehe davon aus, dass POSCO den gesamten Laden inklusive Lithium Americas demnächst für kleines Geld komplett übernehmen wird.
