Preliminary Third Party Report Leads St-George $SX.ca $SXOOF to Accelerate Plans to File for Patents on Extraction for Lithium in Clays $ICM.ca $DST.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:30 AM on Wednesday, December 27th, 2017

  • Preliminary report provided by the third party contractor hired to execute certain tests in relation to St-Georges’ research initiatives related to the extraction of lithium in clays
  • Extraction techniques evaluated can achieve recoveries between 80% to 99.9% with a purity of 99.9%. St-Georges is focused on total capital and operating costs with a green foot print
  • First stage of the mandate given to Dundee Sustainable Technologies (CSE:DST) was to characterize the material from the Bonnie Claire Lithium Property – provided by Iconic Minerals Ltd (TSX-V: ICM)

Montreal, Quebec / December 27, 2017 – St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX)(OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to release the findings of the preliminary report provided by the third party contractor hired to execute certain tests in relation to St-Georges’ research initiatives related to the extraction of lithium in clays.

The first stage of the mandate given to Dundee Sustainable Technologies (CSE:DST) was to characterize the material from the Bonnie Claire Lithium Property – provided by Iconic Minerals Ltd (TSX-V: ICM) – and to test it using currently knowns extraction techniques, commercially deployed or known in the public domain from academic research. St-Georges will work strategically with all the potential suppliers to optimize for total cost of ownership and develop a green foot print. This will include solvent extraction, membranes and electrolysis to make a lithium product that meets or exceeds industry standards.

The extraction techniques evaluated can achieve recoveries between 80% to 99.9% with a purity of 99.9%. St-Georges is focused on total capital and operating costs with a green foot print. The ecological focus is achieved, in part, by converting by products into saleable forms. St-Georges management is encouraged by the recent developments and is now looking to expand the scope of its analysis in regards to what might be patentable in its extraction methods.

The economic nature of St-Georges proposed technology in relation to the Bonnie Claire project cannot be established prior to the definition of a NI 43-101 Resources Estimate and a Preliminary Economical Assessment of the Bonnie Claire Project. However, the characterization of the material provided by Iconic to St-Georges allows for a certain amount of limited hypothesis. The high percentage of silica and alumina characterized in the material processed from Bonnie Claire makes an already interesting concentration of lithium stand out in the remaining segregated material. The report also hint at are other elements that might be worth recovering like potassium and other agricultural focused by products. The next phase of process optimization will be initiated in January. St George is encouraged by the initial characterization results.

Enrico Di Cesare, St-Georges’ director and vice-president research & development commented: “We are looking forward to working closely with the Iconic exploration team and characterizing and testing the results in parallel of their exploration effort on Bonnie Claire. Our technical team is looking forward to optimizing the process for recovery of lithium and salable by-products with a focus on being ecologically green”.

“(…) Our R&D initiative related to lithium bearing clay is progressing well. Shareholders and stakeholders need to keep in mind however that we still have more challenges in the near future. The next 2-3 months will be critical for the development of the lithium-in-clay (LiC) extraction process. It’s important to note when studying the history of science that a significant amount of disruptive technologies never made it outside of a controlled laboratory environment. The demonstration of commercial scalability is still the make or break milestone that we need to secure and we do not have any guarantee of success at this point in time. If that milestone is achieved, we will then have the privilege of embarking into the exciting endeavor of bringing a mine to production. (…) over the months and years period that this task might entails” – said St-Georges’ CEO Frank Dumas.

What You Need To Know About #Lithium $NAM.ca $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:07 PM on Wednesday, September 27th, 2017

In our July piece, Is This a Turning Point for Lithium Demand?, we discussed our belief that we are in the early stages of a dramatic shift in lithium demand. The main driver: the acceleration of electric vehicle (NYSE:EV) sales. In this piece, we seek to address three key questions relating to electric vehicles, lithium, and batteries:

  • Why Now?
  • What does this Growing Demand Mean for Lithium Prices?
  • Do Rising Lithium Prices Hurt Battery Producers?

Why Now?

While electric vehicles have previously been viewed as a gadget for affluent early adopters, EVs appear to be on the verge of going mainstream. A major driver of this change is a major reduction in battery costs, which has made EVs much more affordable relative to traditional combustion engine-powered vehicles. Bloomberg’s New Energy Finance unit found that lithium-ion battery costs fell by nearly 50% from 2014 to 2016 as battery producers raised output and competition increased.1 Falling battery costs along with simpler engine designs and cheaper ‘fuel’ are making consumers around the world seriously consider EVs. Nowhere is this more apparent than in China, which made up over half of the world’s EV market in 2016, and a quarter of the world’s plug-in hybrid sales.2

Another important catalyst for EV sales is government policy. Some governments have historically helped improve the economics around EVs by providing generous subsidies to car buyers. But now regulations are being taken to a whole new level by setting end-dates for the sale of combustion engines. Here’s a list of countries that have recently implemented these policies and the number of new cars sold in these countries in 2016:3,4

  • Norway (0.2m cars): new passenger cars and vans must have zero emissions by 2025
  • India (3.7m): will ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars by 2030
  • UK (3.1m): will ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars by 2040
  • France (2.5m): will ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars by 2040
  • China (28m): recently announced it will ban the sale of gasoline and diesel cars (official date still pending)

Rising Electric Car Demand Powers #Lithium ETF #Tesla $NAM.ca $BFF.ca $LIT

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:42 PM on Monday, September 11th, 2017
  • Growing popularity of electric-powered vehicles is fueling demand for lithium batteries and supporting the miners-related ETF
  • World is shifting toward electric vehicles and the industry is standardizing on lithium ion batteries, which could mean that we are going to need a lot more lithium than is currently be supplied

The Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (NYSEArca: LIT), which tracks the full lithium cycle from mining and refining through batter production, surged 5.0% Monday on five times its average daily volume, according to Morningstar data. LIT has also been breaking new record highs, surging 40.8% year-to-date.

The world is shifting toward electric vehicles and the industry is standardizing on lithium ion batteries, which could mean that we are going to need a lot more lithium than is currently be supplied, writes Josh Brown, The Reformed Broker.

Over the past two years, fears of a lithium shortage has almost tripled prices for the metal to over $20,000 a ton due to a spike in the market for electric vehicles, and the demand for metals isn’t dissipating as electric car production is estimated to surge more than thirtyfold by 2030, Bloomberg reports.

While there is more thane enough lithium in the ground, the industry and infrastructure needed to extract the metal is still lacking. Battery makers will require more mines to support production and they will have ot build them much more quickly than previously thought.

Related: Rare Earth Metals ETF is Enjoying a Banner Year

According to BNEF, Tianqi Lithium, SQM, Albermarle and FMC, the producers that dominate the space, will need to extract enough lithium to supply the equivalent of 35 Tesla Gigafactories now being built in Nevada. Research Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. projects total investments to supply these new batters will range from $350 billion to $750 billion.

The Global X  Lithium & Battery Tech ETF, tries to reflect the performance of the Solactive Global Lithium Index, which is comprised of a number of global lithium producing companies and lithium battery producers, like FMC 25.1%, Quimica Y Minera 17.1%, Samsung SDI Co. 6.6% and Tesla Motors 5.6%. Top country weights include U.S. 41.2%, Chile 13.8%, South Korea 13.6%, Japan 8.9% and Australia 6.8%.

NAM Commences 2017 Exploration Program At The River Valley Pgm Project $NAM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:30 AM on Wednesday, May 10th, 2017

New age large

  • Closed $2,614,762 Private Placement, April 27, 2017
  • Signed contract with Abitibi Geophysics to commence surface geophysical program
  • Projects cover 16 km long River Valley PGM deposit
  • River Valley is the Largest Undeveloped Primary PGM resource in Canada, with 2.5 Moz PGM, in Measured Plus Indicated mineral resources and near-surface covering over 16kms of strike
  • New discovery in 2015: 3.91 g/t Pd+Pt/9m from 145m in drill hole 2015-DN002
  • Discovery confirmed in 2016: 4.07 g/t Pd+Pt/9m from 202m in drill hole DN-T2-06
  • Upon completion of the geophysical program, drilling slated for summer 2017.

MAY 10, 2017 Vancouver, Canada – New Age Metals Inc. (“NAM” and the “Company”) (TSX.V: NAM; OTCQB: PAWEF) is pleased to announce that the Company plans to commence its 2017 Exploration Program this spring with a surface geophysical program at the Pine Zone of the River Valley platinum group metal (PGM) deposit near Sudbury, Ontario (Figure 1). The Pine Zone is one of many PGM zones within the district-scale River Valley PGM Project and was most recently drilled in the fall of 2016 (see to press release dated December 13, 2016). The 2016 drill program confirmed the higher-grade, near-surface PGM discovery made previously in the 2015 drill program (see press release dated March 11, 2015) and highlighted the continuity of the mineralization for 200 metres along strike and 100-200 metres depth. The Pine Zone remains open along strike and at depth. The surface geophysical survey will be performed to test the potential for eastwards and southwards extension of the Pine Zone and aid generation of new targets for drill testing later in 2017.

The 2017 Exploration Program will begin in May-June with cutting of a line grid for the surface geophysical induced polarization (IP) survey. The IP survey itself will consist in part of a detailed orientation survey to record geophysical responses over known geologic features and higher-grade PGM mineralization located in the Pine Zone and the adjacent Dana North Zone (Figure 2). The orientation survey will produce a geophysical fingerprint, which can be used to target favorable geologic features and potentially identify additional blind, structurally controlled PGM mineralization to the east, down-dip and up-dip of the Pine Zone, and elsewhere at River Valley for drill testing. Approximately 2 km of untested potential for discovery of additional mineralization presently exists along strike between the current drilled extent of the Pine Zone and the under explored Pardo Zone to the northwest (Figure 2).

The geophysical survey will be a high-resolution OreVision(R) IP survey performed by Abitibi Geophysics (Thunder Bay, Ontario). OreVision IP can reveal targets at four times the depth of conventional IP without compromising near-surface resolution. The survey size will be 20 line-km over an area measuring 1.1 sq km (Figure 3). The survey will be performed along NW-SE trending, 50m to 100m spaced cut-lines across the apparent strike direction of the geological features controlling the Pine Zone. The depth of investigation is planned to be 440m, which is 40m below the maximum predicted depth of the Pine Zone in this area. In addition to the OreVision(R) IP survey, Abitibi Geophysics will also survey two open drill holes through the host geology and PGM mineralization for physical property measurements. The physical property data will benefit 3D inversion and modelling of the OreVision(R) survey dataset, thereby aiding generation of high priority targets for drill testing. Target generation will be followed by a ~5000 metre drill program in the summer or fall of 2017.

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)

  • Planning is underway to drill test its lithium bearing pegmatite zone discovered in the summer 2016 exploration program on ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium’s (T-NMX) Whabouchi Deposit and the newly discovered Doris zone

Vancouver, BC / January 18, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that planning is underway to drill test its lithium bearing pegmatite zone discovered in the summer 2016 exploration program on ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium’s (T-NMX) Whabouchi Deposit and the newly discovered Doris zone.

On January 17th, 2017 Nemaska Lithium announced “With the Doris zone discovery in late fall it is prudent to consider the possible impact of its eastward continuance…” In the news release of November 28th, 2016, Nemaska Lithium stated, “the Doris zone, contains 5 interconnected dykes and has now been confirmed on 420m of lateral extension and up to a maximum depth of 440m where it joins the main dyke.” “Doris appears to run parallel to main zone which extends for 1.2km to the northeast.”

Durango’s 100% wholly owned NMX East ground adjoins Nemaska Lithium on the eastern perimeter where Nemaska Lithium’s Doris zone remains open, less than 1.5km from the proposed mining pit. Durango’s geological team confirmed a pegmatitic intrusion running parallel to Nemaska Lithium’s main zone where it tested positive for anomalous Lithium and rubidium as per the news release on September 21, 2016. A map of the zones comparative with Nemaska Lithium Inc. may be viewed on the Durango website.
