Why lithium will see another price spike this fall $DGO.ca $BFF.ca $FMR.ca $PFN.ca

  • Lithium has been the hottest metal of 2016, beating out gold,
  • Exponential demand expected over the coming years
  • Fundamentals behind the long-term trajectory suggest strong potential for long-term growth

So far, lithium has been the hottest metal of 2016, beating out gold, with exponential demand expected over the coming years. Although the price trajectory of the metal has been subdued in recent months, the fundamentals behind the long-term trajectory suggest strong potential for long-term growth. Price doubling from 2014-2015 was first seen in China and is now being felt worldwide, with lithium hydroxide prices from $16-20 and carbonate prices from $12,000-14,000 per ton.

Automotive thrust

There is no doubt as to the push that Tesla has given the current automotive transition to electric vehicles (EVs). As the company’s mission statement outlines, it hopes “to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible.”

However, since 2014, when Tesla first announced the Gigafactory with Panasonic, other manufacturers have begun to take notice and take action. Volkswagen AG announced last week that it was considering LG Chem Ltd. or Panasonic Corp. as partners for several $2 billion factories, according to Bloomberg, with confirmation expected later in the year.

Previous announcements of billion-dollar investments in battery factories by Volkswagen were largely brushed off by investors as deflections from their “Dieselgate” scandal. But with LG and Panasonic in the picture, concrete plans appear to be crystalizing.

Combined with Daimler putting $550 million into tripling its battery production capacity in Germany, Nissan’s planned investments in the UK for its third generation Leaf, and GM’s joint venture with LG Chem to produce batteries in Holland, Michigan, for its Volt and Bolt, it is clear that auto manufactures are beginning to shift to electric—and in a very big way.

Given this new investment, plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) sales are expected to experience 62% year-over-year Growth in 2016, 60% in 2017, and likely 100% in 2018. This translates into over 600,000 in PEV sales expected in 2018, creating a new level of demand for which the market will need two new lithium mines in operation to even begin to satiate.

“Looking at the full picture here, the future demand for lithium is truly staggering,” says Michael Kobler, CEO and director of American Lithium Corp., one of the ambitious new explorers shaking up the lithium mining scene in Nevada.

KWG Principal Shareholders Diverge From Majority $KWG.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:55 PM on Thursday, July 21st, 2016

  • Annual and Special General Meeting voting resoundingly in favour of the re-election of the Company’s incumbent Board of Directors but then, very ambiguously, not supporting that same management’s principle initiative

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(July 21, 2016) – The shareholders of KWG Resources Inc. (CSE:KWG)(FRANKFURT:KW6) (“KWG”) have held their Annual and Special General Meeting voting resoundingly in favour of the re-election of the Company’s incumbent Board of Directors but then, very ambiguously, not supporting that same management’s principle initiative. A tally of proxies delivered for use at the meeting in respect of a proposed Special Resolution intended to provide the market in KWG’s shares with possible additional liquidity mechanisms, indicated that, if put to a vote, the Special Resolution would fall short of the desired two-thirds of the votes represented at the meeting. Accordingly, the meeting was then adjourned without a vote being held in respect of the Special Resolution to a date to be announced.

Annual Meeting voting results

Of KWG’s 961.3 million outstanding shares, proxies for a total of 501 million shares were voted at the meeting re-electing as directors Douglas Flett (98.43% in favour), Thomas Pladsen (98.41% in favour), Donald Sheldon (98.44% in favour), Frank Smeenk (98.77% in favour) and Cynthia Thomas (97.37% in favour). However, proxies representing 200.2 million shares were instructed to be voted against the Special Resolution seeking authority to create (by conversion of common shares for holders electing to do so) multiple voting shares re-convertible into their constituent common shares. The Company reported that its two largest shareholders, voting some 36% of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, had provided proxies that opposed the initiative which was overwhelmingly supported by the majority of KWG’s numerous individual shareholders. In the result, only some 60% of the votes available to be cast at the meeting were in favour and the meeting was adjourned without the Special Resolution having been put to a vote.

“Since 1929 the ‘penny stock’ market has been denied access to margin credit and put-and-call option trading”, said KWG President Frank Smeenk. “This has perhaps in the past served well the interests of promoters and their underwriters, but often not so much the investors. We are determined to bring the benefits of those liquidity mechanisms to the owners of KWG so that its value can be fairly established in capital markets which include both those mechanisms and the very numerous sophisticated investors who seek their utility. This is particularly opportune now, as our Company’s undertakings increasingly come to international attention for their long-term strategic value. But, we do not want to leave behind the many thousands of our owners who are content to speculate only in the ‘penny market’. Our proposed solution is to do to our shares what all governments that circulate currency do to their money: let it be usable in both small denomination coins (pennies, nickels and dimes) and large denomination bank-notes (dollar bills), interchangeable back and forth at any time in accordance with a fixed exchange ratio. Instead of coins and bank-notes, KWG would have single-vote shares and multiple-vote shares, interchangeable back and forth at any time in accordance with a fixed exchange ratio. The support of the vast majority of our numerous individual shareholders has been gratifying and we are quite hopeful of soon being able to provide them with this simple mechanism. We think that it will increase considerably the liquidity in the market for shares in our Company and largely close the chasm between what their present sellers would take and what their buyers would pay. For KWG, a ‘penny market’ that trades in 1/2 cent increments has ceased to be of service for its shareholders. And, as there is no financial penalty in listing fees on the Canadian Securities Exchange, we have a unique opportunity to leave all of our issued shares outstanding. In this way we hope to avoid the disintermediation of our many enthusiastic small shareholders by the usual consolidation of capitalization, a route taken by so many other junior resource companies, and the consequent loss of liquidity from destruction of their tradable board lots which results.”

Recovery Process studies budgeted by Natural Resources Canada unit

The Steering Committee overseeing the Canadian Chromite R&D Initiative of Natural Resources Canada’s Canmet Mining unit recently approved programs and budgets for further research including KWG’s proprietary direct reduction method of producing ferrochrome with natural gas. KWG will provide sample material from the Black Horse chromite occurrence for use in the research programs.

Private Placement addition

The Canadian Securities Exchange has granted permission for the completion of one final tranche of the previously-announced private placement of units, for $150,000. Each of the 7.5 million further units will comprise one new treasury share and one warrant; each warrant may be exercised to acquire a further treasury share for $0.05 at any time within five years from closing. KWG applied for and was granted relief to the CSE’s minimum price rule. All shares issued will have a hold period of four months.

About KWG:

KWG has a 30% interest in the Big Daddy chromite deposit and the right to earn 80% of the Black Horse chromite where resources are being defined. KWG also owns 100% of CCC which has staked claims and conducted a surveying and soil testing program, originally for the engineering and construction of a railroad to the Ring of Fire from Aroland, Ontario. KWG subsequently acquired intellectual property interests, including a method for the direct reduction of chromite to metalized iron and chrome using natural gas. KWG subsidiary Muketi Metallurgical LP is prosecuting two chromite-refining patent applications in Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, and USA.

Lithium Canada Launches Summer 2016 Lithium Pegmatite Phase One Exploration Program in Southeast Manitoba $PFN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:11 AM on Thursday, July 21st, 2016

  • Phase One Exploration Program to begin Summer 2016
  • Program of Pegmatite Sampling, Prospecting and Mapping planned for the Lithium One, Lithman North and Lithman East Project
  • Numerous historical Pegmatites to be tested for Lithium mineralization
  • Summer Surface Exploration; objective to outline future Drill Programs
  • Utilizing the Prospector Generator Model, the Company is currently seeking participation by interested Option/Joint Venture Partners for its Lithium Projects (see About the Company’s Business Model – Page 2)

Vancouver, BC / July 21, 2016 – Pacific North West Capital Corp. (“PFN”, the “Company”) (TSX-V: PFN; Frankfurt: P7J; OTCQB: PAWEF announces that its 100% owned subsidiary, Lithium Canada Developments will be conducting a Phase One Exploration Program, during the summer of 2016, on three Lithium Projects in southeast Manitoba.

A surface Phase One Exploration Program, consisting of Mapping, Prospecting and Sampling of known Pegmatites, on three of the company’s Lithium Projects, will begin during the summer of 2016. Presently, work permits have been submitted with the government and once granted, the field work will begin. The exploration program planned will lay the groundwork for future Exploration Plans and Drill Programs. Historic records in the region have indicated Lithium mineralization and mineralogy to be present in several Pegmatites, but at the time, exploration was being conducted for other commodities.

The three projects that are being explored this summer will be the Lithium One, Lithman North and Lithman East Projects. All three have previously mapped Pegmatites and are situated in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field. This Pegmatite Field hosts the world class Tanco Pegmatite, which has been mined from an underground operation, at the Tanco Mine Site in various capacities, since 1969. It once was one of the primary producers of Spodumene (a primary Lithium ore) in North America.

The Tanco Pegmatite is not exposed at surface, except for under Bernic Lake. It is an extremely fractionated, rare-metal, complex type-Petalite subgroup, LCT (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum) Pegmatite, hosted in a late-stage, subvolcanic Gabbro. Current NI43-101 compliant resource calculations are not available for the Tanco Pegmatite. Academic publications have estimated the size of the deposit to be up to approximately 57 million tonnes. The last published mineral reserves (end of 1992) were 1.075 million tonnes of 0.12% Ta2O5, 3.5 million tonnes of 2.7% LiO2, and 315,000 tonnes of 23.3% Cs2O.

Lithium Canada Development Inc. (100% wholly owned Subsidiary of Pacific North West Capital); total land holding in SE Manitoba, as of July 2016: 6,181 hectares (15,274 acres).

Further announcements regarding potential Joint Ventures and other exploration initiatives, on the company’s Lithium Projects, in southeast Manitoba will be forthcoming.

About the Company’s Business Model

“Utilizing the Prospector Generator Model and an aggressive project Acquisition Program, management plans to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to explore and develop a number of Concurrent Exploration Projects. After an initial phase of exploration on our projects, our team plans to partner via Option/Joint Venture Agreements with Major and well-funded Junior companies that want exposure to the Lithium industry.

The Prospector Generator Model reduces risk, share dilution and increases Discovery Potential.”

About The Company’s Lithium Division

The company’s new Lithium Division will focus on the Discovery, Acquisition, Exploration and Development of Lithium Projects in Canada. In the United States, the company will use its wholly owned U.S.A subsidiary to Acquire and Develop projects, in active mining camp, in Nevada, Arizona and California.

Management believes that these New Age Metals, Lithium, PGMs and Rare Earths, have robust macro trends, with surging demands and limited supply. Going forward, this new Division will explore for the minerals needed, to fuel the demand for energy storage and other core 21st Century Technologies.

The company has a growing portfolio of Lithium Projects. The Clayton Valley Forks Li Project in Nevada is a recent Lithium Brine Project, acquired by the company (PFN News Releases: April 25th, 2016 and May 9th, 2016.) The company also has Hard Rock Lithium projects in Canada (PFN News Releases: April 21st, 2016, May 24th, 2016 and July 5th, 2016), located in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field of southeast Manitoba.

Lithium and Platinum Group Metal prices have improved dramatically in recent months. Lithium supplies remain in deficit, relative to their demand. Both metals groups are used for the expanding worldwide automobile industry (conventional and electric). In the case of PGMs, demand is increasing for Autocatalysts, a key component for reducing toxic emissions for automotive, gasoline and diesel engines. Regarding Lithium, there is an ever increasing demand for batteries, in cellphones, laptops, electric cars, solar storage, wireless charging and renewable energy products.

Nevada Energy Metals Announces Update: American Lithium Corp Joint Venture in Clayton Valley $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:37 AM on Tuesday, July 19th, 2016

Bff_hub-2_copy

  • Subsequent to the Companies news release of June 17th, 2016, American Lithium Corp. has received TSX-V approval to acquire all of the outstanding shares of 1074654 B.C. Ltd
  • Holds the right to acquire up to a 70 % interest in and to the Clayton Valley BFF-1 project “the Property” located in Nevada.
  • Following the exercise of the Option, the American Lithium Corp shall have a seventy (70%) interest in and to the Property, with Nevada Energy Metals retaining the balance.

July 19, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia- Nevada Energy Metals Inc. “the Company”, TSX-V: BFF (OTCQB: SSMLF) (Frankfurt: A2AFBV) is pleased to announce that, subsequent to the Companies news release of June 17th, 2016, American Lithium Corp. has received TSX-V approval to acquire all of the outstanding shares of 1074654 B.C. Ltd which holds the right to acquire up to a 70 % interest in and to the Clayton Valley BFF-1 project “the Property” located in Nevada.

American Lithium Corp. now assumes the obligations in respect to the previously announced option agreement, which in addition to a non-refundable deposit of USD$25,000 (paid) is USD$2750,000 and 1,200,000 million common shares of American Lithium Corp. in three tranches on or before the second anniversary of closing, and $1-million in exploration expenditures on or before the third anniversary.

Following the exercise of the Option, the American Lithium Corp shall have a seventy (70%) interest in and to the Property, with Nevada Energy Metals retaining the balance. Thereafter, the parties will work diligently and in good faith to negotiate the terms of a joint venture to advance development of “the Property. The joint venture will provide that expenditures on the Property will be funded on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective parties proportionate interest in the Property. In the event that any one party declines to fund the expenditures in proportion to their interest, their respective interest in the joint venture shall be reduced accordingly, provided that no party shall be diluted below a fifteen (15%) interest in the Property.

Rick Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Nevada Energy Metals, commented: “We are delighted to have American Lithium Corp as our partner with which to advance the Clayton Valley property. The BFF-1 Project covers an area similar to the structural and geologic settings at Albemarle’s Silver Peak lithium-brine operation and lies only two hundred meters to the north west side of their property. We look forward to an exciting exploration program being carried out in the months ahead.”

About the BFF-1 Project:

The Clayton Valley BFF-1 Project is an early-stage lithium brine prospect in Esmeralda County, Nevada. A total of 77 placer claims cover an area of approximately 623 ha (1,540 acres) on the north-western side of the original Clayton Valley playa. The property position covers an inferred graben bounded by the Silver Peak Range front on the west and by an outlier of Paleozoic rocks known as Goat Island on the east. The exploration concept is that the graben is a sub-basin of the larger Clayton Valley basin and may represent a secondary trap for lithium brines within the greater system.

The Clayton Valley BFF-1 NI 43-101 Technical Report by Alan Morris, CPG, QP, states “The property has strong potential to host Lithium brine deposits in favorable geologic horizons within the basin fill. Another possible target is lithium enriched clay within the fill package and potentially in previous high stands of the playa.” (April, 2016)

Geologic and geophysical mapping conducted for geothermal exploration and documented by Hulen (2008) indicates previously unrecognized, deep graben lying between the Silver Peak range front and outcrops of Paleozoic rocks at Goat Island and Alcatraz Island. This area was their target zone for a deep circulating geothermal system they hoped to exploit for geothermal power. This graben is the main target for lithium brine as it may represent a separate sub-basin in Clayton Valley that holds brines not subject to pumping by production wells on the east side of the main valley. Exposed mineralization is confined to salt crust on the playa surface and other locations in the valley.

Western Geothermal Partners drilled a 120 meter (400 foot) geothermal gradient test well in 2006 on what is now the Clayton Valley BFF-1 project. Bottom hole temperature was 50?C (122?F) which showed moderate potential for geothermal power. Of significance, the well encountered a 25-foot-thick zone of volcanic ash reportedly similar to the Main Ash Aquifer in the Clayton Valley lithium operation. The presence of any felsic ash in this hole is significant in light of that, it is the presumed source for at least some of the lithium in the brines (Price et al, 2000).

Durango Finalizes Exploration Plan For Nemaska Whabouchi Area Properties $DGO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:45 AM on Monday, July 18th, 2016

Logo

  • Finalized its exploration plan for its properties near Nemaska Lithium’s Whabouchi deposit
  • One of the closest land positions to Nemaska Lithium’s proposed Whabouchi pit
  • Boundary 1.4 kilometres to the east of the proposed pit and contiguous with more than 8 kilometres of Nemaska’s property boundary

Vancouver, BC / July 18, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that it has finalized its exploration plan for its properties near Nemaska Lithium’s Whabouchi deposit in northern Quebec. Durango boasts one of the closest land positions to Nemaska Lithium’s proposed Whabouchi pit, with its boundary 1.4 kilometres to the east of the proposed pit and contiguous with more than 8 kilometres of Nemaska’s property boundary.

The first phase of exploration will consist of a detailed mapping and sampling program and will take place over the course of approximately two weeks, commencing in early August. The program will target geophysical and historical lithogeochemical anomalies, with the goal of identifying pegmatite bodies underlying the property. Various targets of the survey are outlined below.

Of particular interest to the Durango technical team are a series of geophysical signatures in both the historical total field and gradiometric magnetic surveys reported in the 2011 Tucana Lithium Report on the Abigail Property (1). These anomalies indicate some potential for an extension from the Whabouchi deposit, or a trail of similar pegmatite intrusions, towards the northeast, crossing the north-central portion of Durango’s eastern claim block, as shown below in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

The Company cautions that these are preliminary interpretations. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource on the property and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in mineralization or mineral resources being identified on the property.

Durango has also coordinated with the Cree First Nation of Nemaska to arrive on site in the coming weeks. The Company is fully financed to execute the first phase of exploration at its Nemaska properties, as well as its 100%-owned Dianna Lake Silver Prospect in northern Saskatchewan (see Durango news, July 13, 2016).

Pending the success of the sampling program and identification of any anomalous lithogeochemical values, the following phase may consist of trenching across the identified anomalous zones, as warranted. Further information on the second phase of exploration will be provided after the conclusion of Phase 1.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango comments, “We were very pleased to hear on July 13th, Nemaska Lithium announced a drill program targeting the eastern zone of its proposed Whabouchi pit to add near-surface resources. This new information, in addition to the surge of recent activity in the area, has greatly reinforced the potential of Durango’s key land position in the Nemaska region. We expect to get boots on the ground following the completion of our sampling program at Dianna Lake, which is currently underway.”

Additionally, the board has granted an aggregate of 650,000 options to directors, officers and consultants of the Company. Each option is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of two years from the date of grant.

The technical contents of this release were approved by Mr. Case Lewis, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The property has not yet been the subject of a National Instrument 43-101 report.
