  • No superior offers have been received for the Rome Lithium Property, and as a result the Company has agreed to move forward with the previously announced transaction

Vancouver, British Columbia–(August 3, 2017) – Fairmont Resources Inc. (TSXV: FMR) (“Fairmont or the “Company”) announces that no superior offers have been received for the Rome Lithium Property, and as a result the Company has agreed to move forward with the previously announced transaction (Press Release dated June 29, 2017) with Jourdan Resources Inc. (“Jourdan”) Upon TSX approval, Fairmont will receive $25,000 cash ($25,000 was received as part of a Right of First Refusal associated with signing the Letter of Intent), 1,500,000 shares of Jourdan, and a 2% NSR on the Rome property.

Grabasa

Fairmont has received notice that its appeal of the Spanish Court’s termination of Fairmont’s offer to acquire certain assets of Granitos de Badajoz (“Grabasa”) has been denied. On July 7, 2017, the Spanish Court declined Fairmont’s appeal and upheld the decision to terminate Fairmont’s bid for the Grabasa assets. Fairmont is currently assessing its options. Fairmont is still free to bid for the asset in an open competition, and continues to work with potential funding partners.

Eureka Trading

Fairmont has also made a decision not to appeal the Spanish Court’s Decision with respect to Eureka Trading’s claim for a success fee relating to the failed attempt to purchase the Grabasa assets. The Company has determined that launching a proper appeal in Spain, which could continue for years, would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that the company’s resources are best directed elsewhere. The Company is working on settlement options with respect to this issue.

Other Canadian Projects

The past producing Lac Brule Quartz Mine that Fairmont Resources completely surrounds was recently sold by the previous owner and dewatering of the open pit has commenced. It is unclear at this time if the new owner is looking to produce quartz or aggregate. Additional information will be provided on the Company’s website as it becomes available.

The sampling for PCC from the Baie Comeau Quartzite property has been collected and arrangements to ship the sample to Germany are underway.

Several interested parties have approached Fairmont with respect to the acquisition of both the Forestville and Baie Comeau Quartzite properties, but no decision has been made with respect to the offers. Fairmont would consider JV partners to help accelerate the development of these projects, and interested parties are encouraged to contact the Company.

With respect to the Buttercup property, which is under binding letter agreement with Prophecy Development Corp. (announced on July 21, 2017), developments towards extracting aggregate are moving forward and Fairmont and its consultants in Quebec are assisting Prophecy in contacting local drilling, blasting, crushing and hauling contractors who had previously been working with Fairmont to develop the project. Fairmont is very encouraged by the dedication that Prophecy’s management team is giving to the project, and the Company expects aggregate extraction equipment to be on site in August 2017. The closing of the transaction is subject to Prophecy being satisfied with the results of its due diligence that may include bulk sampling.

Chile’s SQM sees 8-10% growth in lithium demand this year $NAM.ca $DGO.ca $BFF.ca $SX.ca $FMR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:22 AM on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2017
  • “The prices in the lithium market and the growth in demand have been quite relevant in recent years. We expect growth in demand for this product of between 8 and 10 percent,” Illanes said.

Feb 19 Chile’s SQM expects demand for lithium to grow between 8 percent and 10 percent this year and is working to improve financial performance by 2020, an executive told local paper El Mercurio on Sunday.

SQM, one of the world’s biggest producers of lithium and iodine, has been trying to consolidate its position with investments abroad.

In 2020 SQM expects annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $1 billion. Currently quarterly EBITDA is less than $200 million, Gerardo Illanes, vice president of finances, told the newspaper.

“The prices in the lithium market and the growth in demand have been quite relevant in recent years. We expect growth in demand for this product of between 8 and 10 percent,” Illanes said.

SQM plans to invest $100 million to increase its production capacity this year, which combined with its capital injection in Argentina would lead to a total investment of around $300 million, he said.

Illanes said SQM would not have a problem financing its projects although he did not rule out tapping debt markets. (Reporting by Fabián Andrés Cambero; Writing by Caroline Stauffer; Editing by Jeffrey Benkoe)

Tesla to begin lithium-ion battery production at US megafactory – bodes well for $DGO.ca $BFF.ca $PFN.ca $SX.ca $FMR.ca

Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors says it has started producing lithium-ion battery cells at its $5 billion factory in Nevada.

The company says it began making high-performance cells in December and production started overnight for cells used in Powerwall energy-storage products.

Tesla plans to start making batteries for its Model 3 sedans later this year.

The massive Gigafactory outside Sparks is coming online in phases, with a goal of full operation in 2018.

Officials say it could almost double the world’s production of lithium-ion batteries, making them more affordable as the company looks beyond the luxury niche market.

The electric carmaker says it has more than 850 full-time employees, plus more than 1700 construction workers.

Nevada has promised Tesla $1.3 billion in state tax incentives based on projections that it’ll employ 6500 people at full production.
