Calling traditional metal refining processes “legacy” and “insanely complicated”, Elon Musk said today his company has re-thought and simplified how lithium and nickel will be processed for his future batteries.
Musk made the comments during a live simulcast presentation of Battery Day held in a parking lot in Fremont, California, near his manufacturing facilities. Musk shared part of the presentation with Drew Baglino, SVP of Powertrain and Energy Engineering at Tesla.
Musk called the traditional cathode process of processing nickel “a big target” due to its high cost
“It’s insanely complicated,” said Musk. “These things just grow up as legacy. We looked at the entire value chain and asked how can we make this as simple as possible.”
Bagnilo and Musk said many steps in the traditional refining method could be skipped resulting in 66% less investment, 76% less processing cost and 0% waste water.
The CEO of FPX Nickel, Martin Turenne, concurred with Musk: mineral processing can be made cleaner and more economical.
“The current methods of processing [nickel] are generally well established, and they’re done for a reason, because they work and because alternatives would be costly or they’re at an unproven stage,” said Turenne in an interview with Kitco after he watched Tesla’s Battery Day presentation.
At his own FPX, Turenne believes his nickel is in a form that would be suitable for batteries with the potential to skip the smelting step.
Musk and Bragnila imagine Tesla factories processing raw nickel powder for processing.
“Raw materials from a mine go to the plant and out comes a battery,” said Bragnila. “We are just consuming the raw nickel powder. It dramalitcally simplifies the raw nickel refining part of the whole process. We can eliminate billions in battery grade nickel intermediate production. It is not needed at all.”
What struck Turenne during the presentation is the forecast level of demand.
“At three terawatt-hours of battery cells per annum by 2030, that would entail approximately annual consumption of 2 million tonnes of nickel. That’s almost the entire scale of the current global nickel output,” said Turenne.
“Our team at Kontrol has been very busy since the completion of pre-commercialization testing through the independent labs,” says Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol. “We have now moved to the commercialization phase for the Kontrol BioCloud® analyzer (“BioCloud analyzer” or “BioCloud”) which includes further lab testing to establish the lower detection limits. In addition, we are pleased to share that BioCloud is receiving interest from potential customers and distribution partners and we are selecting key suppliers for commercialization. We are in discussions with provincial and federal government entities regarding contributions to commercialization funding and potential future procurement. Our internal goal is to have BioCloud units commercially available in November 2020.”
Commercialization of BioCloud
As part of BioCloud’s commercialization plans, Kontrol will provide lower detection limits and operating specifications for the analyzer. Initial expectations, based on lab testing completed to date, is that BioCloud will be effective in small to medium space settings with 3 or more people, and therefore would be suitable for applications in many environments such as classrooms, offices, airplanes, trains, buses, long-term care facilities and hospitals.
Like all electrical products, BioCloud is required to operate with a CSA approval in Canada. The Company is in the process of seeking CSA approvals as part of commercialization. CSA is a leader in Standards Development and in Testing, Inspection and Certification around the world including Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia. The CSA registered mark shows that a product has been independently tested and certified to meet recognized standards for safety or performance. The Company has a long history of success in achieving CSA approvals in our established continuous emissions business.
Operating Subsidiaries, Trademarks and Patents
Kontrol BioCloud Inc., which was recently incorporated, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kontrol, and will be the primary sales and marketing entity for BioCloud. CEM Specialties Inc. (“CEMSI”), also a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Kontrol, will be the primary research, development, and integration entity for BioCloud.
Kontrol has commenced the trademark of the term Safe Space Technology and has initiated the patent registration for its intellectual property related to BioCloud.
Securing Supply Chain
Kontrol has selected a number of suppliers that will form part of BioCloud supply chain, and we will be announcing those names in the coming weeks, following the issuance of applicable purchase orders.
“While we are not making any claims about revenue at this time, we are building our global supply chain with the goal of being able to supply the market with up to 20,000 units per month,” says Gary Saunders VP of Kontrol. “We plan to have this substantially completed over the coming weeks.”
Strengthened Balance Sheet and Discussions for Additional Government Funding
As of September 22, 2020, the Company has received approximately $1 Million in cash from the exercise of common share options and warrants which has strengthened Kontrol’s balance sheet to advance BioCloud’s commercialization.

Affinity is focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of strategic metal deposits within North America. In addition to the West Timmins Gold project, Affinity is advancing the Regal Project in the northern end of the prolific Kootenay Arch. Regal hosts two major geophysical anomalies as well as three past producing mines. Recent drill results included a new silver discovery with an 11.10 meter interval of 143.29 g/t silver which included a 0.55 meter interval of 2,612.0 g/t silver Click Here For More Info
They say patience is a virtue. Well, if anyone is virtuous these days, it has to be silver bulls.
They also say good things come to those who wait. I believe those good things will be coming…in spades.
Silver reached just shy of $50 back in April 2011. A decade later, we’re still just barely above half that level.
But that’s all about to change.
Since bottoming in March, gold has rocketed to a new all-time high near $2,070 in early August, up 40%.
But silver’s trough-to-peak gains have put gold’s to shame. The white metal bottomed in March near $12, then soared to a $29 peak, also in early August, for a blistering 140% gain in just 4½ months.
When silver really gets going, it can surprise even the most ardent of silver bulls. And odds are it’s going to go on several more runs like this in the future.
Here’s what’s making this metal tick, and why what lies ahead for silver is going to surprise us all.
1. Silver’s Monetary Side
It’s widely accepted that silver is both an industrial metal and a monetary metal. But now that precious metals are in a secular bull market, silver’s monetary side is likely to have an outsized impact.
If we look at how silver compares to gold in bull runs, it turns out silver has outperformed five of the last six times. Silver Comparative Price Vs Rising Gold Prices
That’s likely going to happen again this time, and the main driver will be investment demand.
According to the Silver Institute’s Annual World Silver Survey, silver investment demand was up 12% in 2019 over the previous year. The Institute recently reported that in the first half of 2020, investors hoarded 10% more silver than in H1 2019, mostly through buying silver-backed exchange-traded products (ETPs). As a result, ETPs have been setting successive record high levels of holdings this year. Total Silver Demand 2019
What’s more, it’s estimated that just 6% of all above-ground silver is in investment form like coins or bars. The rest is almost evenly split between industrial uses and jewelry/decorative uses.
2. Challenged Silver Supply
Besides rapidly growing investment demand, one of the biggest drivers of higher silver is going to be limited new supply.
Just 28.7% of new silver supply comes from primary silver mines. 71% of newly mined silver is only produced as a by-product of other metals like gold, copper, lead and zinc. Silver Supply
In a recent Kitco News interview (Kitco.com) E.B. Tucker, director at Metalla Royalty & Streaming (OTC:MTA), (TSXV:MTA) said:
“Silver’s got some catching up to do. One of the things about silver that people need to understand is that the supply of silver is not elastic, and what that means is if the price goes higher, the mines can’t just turn it on. Only about a quarter of the supply comes from actual direct silver mining, the rest of it comes from by-products, and recycling.”
Even once silver prices soar, mines that produce silver cannot just ramp up silver production. And silver is often a small portion of their revenues, so there’s little incentive to produce more.
3. Silver’s Technical Outlook
With fundamentals lining up, let’s examine the technical side of silver’s near-term outlook. Silver Daily Chart
Silver has been forming a symmetrical triangle pattern since early August. Volume’s been dropping over the past month, and the RSI and MACD momentum indicators continue to move downwards. This suggests more consolidation and, for now, a possible downside move once the triangle is breached. The $26 level is the first downside target, then the $23–$24 range would be next.
Silver stocks, via Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:SIL), are reacting in much the same way as silver itself.
SIL Daily
The only difference here is the RSI has gone mostly sideways for five weeks. For SIL I’d expect a first downside target to be $45, followed by $40.
But once the current consolidation/correction is over, which could still play out over several more weeks, I’d expect silver to come back with a vengeance.
The Fed is standing ready to “print more on demand,” while the European Central Bank and others are signaling more as well. The COVID pandemic is seeing cases tick up as kids head back to school and we head indoors. Oh, and there’s a critical federal U.S. election, amid a highly antagonistic political environment, in under two months.
Silver is likely going to reach above $37 before the year is out, as its monetary role starts to dominate once again.

Gratomic is ready to introduce its graphite to battery producers for use in advanced anode technology.
Aukam graphite is a much cleaner alternative to this market’s current supply options as a sustainably sourced resource
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 22, 2020 / In light of Tesla’s battery week Gratomic Inc. (“GRAT” or the “Company”) (TSXV:GRAT)(OTC PINK:CBULF)(FRANKFURT:CB81) (WKN:A143MR) is gearing up to bring its high grade, environmentally sustainable graphite to the North American EV market.
In a race that started in 2012, Gratomic is the only one of several graphite companies that has successfully brought its asset through to the final construction phase.
The Company is now ready to introduce its graphite to battery producers for use in advanced anode technology. Being of such naturally high purity, Gratomic’s vein graphite is ideal for use in this application, requiring simpler, less expensive and more efficient processing methods, resulting in a final product with naturally lower contents of deleterious elements.
In addition to its high purity levels, the Company’s Aukam graphite is a much cleaner alternative to this market’s current supply options as a sustainably sourced resource as per the Company’s September 3rd Press Release. The Company intends to establish a new benchmark for recording and guaranteeing the product’s carbon footprint, based on latest generation blockchain technology.
“Gratomic has entered into discussions with several carbon-to-battery experts with the intent to provide a tailored product for the battery market.” says CEO and President, Arno Brand.
Gratomic wishes to emphasize that no Preliminary Economic Analysis (“PEA”), Preliminary Feasibility Study or Feasibility Study has been completed to support any level of production. In fact, no mineral resources, let alone mineral reserves demonstrating economic viability and technical feasibility, have been delineated on the Aukam Property.
The Company recently appointed Dr. Ian Flint to complete a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on the Aukam Processing plant. The study, its recommendations, and their subsequent implementation, will provide conclusions and recommendations at a PEA level of comfort relating to the scale up of the existing processing plant to a commercial scale processing facility that will provide the desired concentrate grades and production rates. A preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.
Gratomic wishes to emphasize that the supply of graphite pursuant to any off-take or supply agreement referred to in this Press Release is conditional on Gratomic being able to bring the Aukam project into a production phase, and for any graphite being produced to meet certain technical and mineralization requirements. Gratomic continues to move its business towards production and as part of its business plan, expects to obtain a National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects technical report to help it ascertain the economics of the Aukam project.
Risk Factors
No mineral resources, let alone mineral reserves demonstrating economic viability and technical feasibility, have been delineated on the Aukam Property. The Company is not in a position to demonstrate or disclose any capital and/or operating costs that may be associated with the processing plant.
The Company advises that it has not based its production decision on even the existence of mineral resources let alone on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit.
Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved.
Failure to commence production would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flow and future profitability.
Steve Gray, P. Geo. and a Director of the Company has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this press release and is the Company’s “Qualified Person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
About Gratomic Inc.
Gratomic is an advanced materials company focused on mine to market commercialization of graphite products and components for a range of mass market products. The Company currently holds two off-take purchase agreements for graphite product sourced from the Aukam facility. One agreement is with TODAQ and the other is with Phu Sumika. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol GRAT.

The federal government is planning investments in the electric vehicle industry to create a domestic supply chain for electric vehicle batteries that could supply the North American market. (Jonathan Hayward/The Canadian Press)
The Liberal government will use the speech from the throne to lay out a plan to create tens of thousands of jobs by connecting Canada’s resource sector with its manufacturing base to produce batteries for electric cars, Radio-Canada has learned.
“We recognize we have a unique opportunity to take advantage of our skilled labour force and we know we have a long and proud history of manufacturing vehicles, planes, ships and trains, and we also have an abundant amount of natural resources,” Innovation, Science and Industry Minister Navdeep Bains told Radio-Canada.
“We could be a world leader in [electric vehicle] battery manufacturing if we leverage our natural resources like lithium, cobalt … nickel, aluminum — the key ingredients that are required in batteries. Then we want to make sure that we manufacture them here and … use them in our trains, our buses, our ships and our planes.”
Bains said the green technology sector is expected to be worth trillions of dollars in the coming years and Canada could take advantage of that market by positioning itself as the chief North American supplier of batteries for electric vehicles.
“Not only do we want to be in a position to be building [electric vehicle] batteries here in Canada for the North American market, we want to be a global leader to take advantage of global opportunities,” he said.
CBC News has confirmed a report which first appeared in the Toronto Star — that the federal government is willing to put up to $500 million, with some money coming from the Ontario government, toward turning Ford’s Oakville plant over to the production of electric vehicles, an investment that could keep the plant open for years to come.
The paper reported that the mass production of electric vehicles and batteries is at the heart of talks between Ford Motor Co. and the union representing its employees.
When asked about the deal yesterday Ontario Premier Doug Ford said negotiations are still ongoing.
“What I can tell you is how important the auto industry is, one of the most important industries in Ontario,” he said during his daily briefing.
“This is good if we move forward. The parts are very important. We would like to manufacture the batteries here rather than bringing the batteries in from out of country. We have the capabilities and the raw materials here. Why can’t we produce the batteries? That’s my big ask to Ford.”
Adding value through manufacturing
Bains also said his government is looking at putting money into high-speed internet access — something he said the country needs more of now, with more and more Canadians working from home.
He also said the federal government is looking at investments in the agriculture sector to help make Canada “a world leader in plant proteins.”
Bains did not say if the agriculture and internet proposals will be a part of the throne speech.
“The bottom line is that we want to take advantage of what we have in Canada,” he said. “And what we have is an incredibly skilled labour workforce, we have natural resources and we have the ability to add value through our manufacturing processing initiatives.”

Sweet Earth’s award-winning canine products will be sold under Thoughtful Brands’ Nature’s Exclusive brand, leveraging the Company’s eCommerce capabilities
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 21, 2020 / Thoughtful Brands Inc. (CSE:TBI)(FWB:1WZ1)(OTCQB:PEMTF) (the “Company” or “Thoughtful Brands“), a global natural health products and eCommerce technology company, is excited to announce that the company has signed a Supply Agreement with Sweet Earth Holdings Corp.

Sweet Earth is now officially the exclusive CBD dog treat provider to Thoughtful Brands’ direct to consumer brand, Nature’s Exclusive.
The agreement enables the Sweet Earth-produced CBD canine products to utilize Thoughtful Brands’ newly formed Ecommerce Tech LLC, a subsidiary operating a powerful ecommerce software platform designed to maximize customer acquisition and customer service.
The market for pet CBD products is booming: research sponsored earlier this year by RestoraPet and conducted by BDS Analytics and Arcview Market Research projects the pet CBD market to grow five percent faster than the overall CBD market over the next four years, from $64 million in 2018 to $810 million in 2024.
Sweet Earth canine products that will be sold under the Nature’s Exclusive brand include the popular Beef and Cheddar Potato CBD Dog Treats. Sweet Earth’s offerings are Leaping Bunny-certified, the gold-standard in cruelty-free certification for consumer goods signifying no new animal tests were conducted during product development.
“We are thrilled to be working with Sweet Earth, a renowned company whose sophisticated hemp-CBD offerings have long been celebrated,” said Thoughtful Brands CEO Ryan Dean Hoggan. “We are eager to propel the success of their CBD canine products by utilizing our global eCommerce platform and enhanced technology capabilities. We look forward to adding the brand to our portfolio and are hopeful for additional collaborations in the future.”
Building off the success of Nature’s Exclusive and the supply agreement with Sweet Earth, Thoughtful Brands is continuing to expand its portfolio in the nutraceutical and hemp-based CBD product space through the August 2020 acquisition of Golden Path LLC and Wild Mariposa LLC, two direct-to-consumer eCommerce brands offering natural health products throughout the U.S.
Sweet Earth’s CEO, Peter Espig, commented, “We are very excited to work closely with Thoughtful Brands, a company that we feel maintains the hemp industry’s premier brands. The company is well managed, maintains a powerful global platform and enhanced technological capabilities, and constantly researches for new methods of increasing customer service. We look forward to adding our products to Thoughtful Brand’s rapidly growing eCommerce platform, and are hopeful for future collaborations.”
In addition to the above, the Company announces the resignation of Szascha Lim as Chief Financial Officer. The role will be fulfilled once the appropriate person is found.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 21, 2020 /CNW/ – Tajiri Resources Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: TAJ) is pleased to announce that reverse circulation drilling commenced September 18, 2020 at the advanced Morley Prospect situated on the Company’s wholly owned ~1,100km2 Reo Project, located 150 km west northwest of the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagdougou.
At Morley, where historic drilling, conducted between 2008 and 2012, intersected shallow high-grade gold intersections such as:
32m @ 17.5g/t from 2m,
6m @ 38.9g/t from 8m,
2m @ 18.0g/t from 17m,
10m @ 9.6g/t from 74m,
1m @ 75.5.5g/t from 33m,
6m @ 4.1g/t from 60m,
8m @ 9.4g/t from 16m,
10m @ 7.6g/t from 16m;
Gold mineralisation is hosted by low sulphidation quartz veins in granodiorite situated ~400m from a regional scale contact between the granodiorite and greenstones. Modelling of mineralisation at Morley by Tajiri suggests that the orientation of mineralisation is parallel to a set of late tensional structures that are disposed at an high angle to regional belt strike and such structures elsewhere in Burkina host significant high grade gold mineralisation e.g. Rox Gold’s Yaramoko Mine and West African Resources’ M1 South Deposit.
The purposes of the current 3,600m drill program are several:
to test strike and dip continuity of mineralisation over a 400m strike x 130m down dip portion of mineralisation;
to test the possibility for stacked lodes within a 400m (l) x 250m (w) x 130m (d) volume mostly above the main interpreted lode which strikes NW and dips 35-60˚ to the NE;
to obtain samples for preliminary cyanide bottle roll tests;
to delineate any higher grade shoots and their orientation within the broader mineralised envelope;
to lay a solid foundation for step out drilling, along strike, across strike and down dip; and
to advance the Morley prospect toward an initial inferred resource estimate.
Tajiri expects to release first results from its maiden drill program at Morley within the next 3 to 4 weeks and expects to complete drilling within 5 to 6 weeks. After which the contracted rig will move 20km south to the K4-K5 prospect where a further 4,000m of RC drilling is planned.
The Company also wishes to clarify finder fee amounts paid on the closing of a non-brokered private placement, as reported in news released August 19th, 2020 and updated September 3rd, 2020; being that total finders warrants issued in relation to the offering were 1,116,933 while cash consideration was $191,620. All other details remain the same.

“I’m so grateful for this production company reaching out and offering to document our journey. There’s a ton of hard work that is going on behind the scenes and if all goes according to plan – this will be another piece of earned Media, which hasn’t cost Red Light Holland a dime, to potentially highlight our Company, our tireless efforts and our iMicrodose brand to a much bigger widespread audience,” said Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, Todd Shapiro. “Out of respect to the production company’s intellectual property rights, which play a huge role in stimulating innovation and creativity – in this case focusing on Red Light Holland’s early magic truffles production facility, our iMicrodose product launch in the Netherlands, and our expected iMicrodose Launch Party – we’ve mutually agreed to hold off on providing more information for now. However, we look forward to sharing more details in early 2021 about this great exposure opportunity… Now let’s just hope my mug doesn’t get left on the cutting room floor!”
