Tesla’s Reno ‘Giga-Factory’ choice steps company toward mass produced EV

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:38 AM on Friday, September 5th, 2014

Proposed 10k-sq-ft facility projected to be running by 2017 for Model 3 launch.

September 4, 2014
by By JUSTIN PRITCHARD and SCOTT SONNER, Associated Press

14-sept-tesla-giga-factory-reno-625

RENO, Nev. — To bring electric cars to the masses, Tesla Motors will transform an expanse of desert where pioneers passed on their way to the California Gold Rush and wild mustangs still roam the hillside.

This time, the rush will be in Nevada, which Tesla chose over four other states as the site for a $5 billion factory that the carmaker projects will crank out enough high-tech car batteries to power 500,000 vehicles annually by decade’s end.

Nevada’s elected leaders still must deliver on the economic incentives they’ve promised, but if they do as expected, Tesla will open its massive factory at an industrial park outside Reno, according to a person familiar with Tesla’s plans. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no official announcement had been made. An announcement was scheduled for Thursday afternoon at Nevada’s Capitol.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, acknowledged Thursday at his Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas that Tesla was coming to Nevada, and said he had spoken with Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval about it.

A state synonymous with gambling hit the jobs jackpot — Tesla has said the factory will employ about 6,500 people. That’s a welcome jolt for a tourism-based economy particularly hard hit during the Great Recession.

Tesla’s choice of Nevada over California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico takes it a big step closer to mass producing an electric car that costs around $35,000 and can go 200 miles on a single charge. That range is critical because it lets people take most daily trips without recharging, a major barrier to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

The “gigafactory,” as Tesla calls the project, would bring the cost of batteries down by producing them on a huge scale. Its approximately 10 million square feet, equivalent to about 174 football fields, would be running by 2017. That is when Tesla hopes to introduce its Model 3,

At present, demand for electric vehicles is small.

Through August, automakers have sold just over 40,000 fully electric cars this year, up 35 per cent from a year ago, according to the auto website Edmunds.com. Factoring in plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles still account for just 3.6 per cent of all new car sales, a slight drop from last year. Still, government fuel economy standards that will require new cars and trucks to average 54.5 miles per gallon are expected to drive sales.

Gov. Sandoval’s office wouldn’t comment Wednesday on the gigafactory news, saying only that he would make a “major economic development announcement” Thursday. A spokesman for Tesla Motors Inc., based in Palo Alto, California, said company representatives would be at the Capitol in Carson City for the announcement but offered no other details.

Sandoval has declined to discuss incentives he has offered Tesla. Based on CEO Elon Musk’s public statements, the incentives likely total at least $500 million. The governor would have to call a special session of the Legislature to approve tax breaks, grants or other incentives of that magnitude.

This spring, Musk announced that the company would take the unusual step of spending millions to prepare sites in two states _ or perhaps even three _ before choosing a winner. The person familiar with Tesla’s plans told The Associated Press a second site still will be prepared, in case Nevada is unable to deliver the incentives it has promised, or possibly to build a second factory.

Tesla has done excavation and other site-preparation work at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, where it plans to build the factory, but had not publicly committed to building in Nevada until it tested what economic incentives other states offered. The centre is about 15 miles east of Sparks, a Reno suburb founded as a railroad town more than a century ago.

Aside from low tax rates and business-friendly workplace laws, Nevada offered plenty of sun and wind to generate “green” power. The industrial park is only about 200 miles along Interstate 80 from Tesla’s lone auto assembly plant in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s also near a deposit of lithium, an essential element to produce the battery cells.

Reid said that ready supply was an important part of Nevada’s bid, and pointed to a $28.4 million Department of Energy grant in 2010 for a lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide plant in Silver Creek, Nevada.

Competition for the factory has been intense among the states, which bid up their incentive packages in private negotiations with Tesla.

In California, where Tesla has its headquarters and manufacturing plant, the decision to build in the state next door stung.

“Tesla was using their business savviness to get states to compete against one another,” said state Sen. Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, a principal proponent of the project. “It’s just that I felt California had the inside track given our history of working in partnership with Tesla.”

CLIENT FEATURE: Stria Lithium (SRA: TSX-V) Powering The Green Revolution

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:00 PM on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

Why Stria Lithium?

  • Aiming to become one of the lowest cost producers in the world for battery- grade technology lithium — critical for high-technology green energy industries.
  • Management is key. Stria has assembled a truly world-class, experienced and accomplished team.
  • Stria’s strategic, cost-effective exploration substantially reduces the risks and expenditures of exploration by focusing on deposits that are readily available to advance.
  • Stria’s unique and extensive experience in understanding and utilizing the latest, most-advanced geophysical tools affords the Company a competitive edge within the industry.
  • The lithium market remains robust with tremendous upside potential versus other metals.

 

A New Source, a new process for technology lithium

Several foreign nations are already stockpiling materials critical to the emerging green technology economy, which means a reliable North American supply of high quality lithium-based products has never been more urgent. Stria believes Canada has a key role to play in the green tech economy, and plan to be a part of it by carving out a supply and technology niche in the critical and strategic metals world.

Proprietary Processing Technologies

Stria President and Chief Operating Officer Julien Davy said the company’s ultimate goal is to produce high-purity (99.999%) lithium metal or other lithium compounds that meet the needs of battery manufacturers for an environmentally sustainable supply option that dramatically reduces costs. “Any lithium process that significantly reduces production costs will help changing the battery market,” said Mr. Davy.

Pontax-Lithium property …

Stria holds 100 per cent ownership of the Pontax-Lithium property located in the west-central James Bay territory in northern Quebec.

The property, which Stria acquired from Khalkos Exploration Inc. in 2013, is host to a recently discovered swarm of a dozen spodumene-bearing (a lithium mineral) pegmatite dikes, each one metre to 10 metres in thickness, plus a series of small centimetre-thick dikelets.

The lithium-bearing dikes outcrop over an area of 450 metres by 100 metres (for more information, click here to view the NI-43-101 Technical Report (Girard,2013) on the Pontax-Lithium Property).

Close-up view of Pontax’s spodumene-bearing pegmatite. The light grey spodumene is idiomorphic and lath-shaped. The intergranular grey mineral is quartz.


Willcox Lithium / Arizona

Stria holds 100 per cent ownership of the Willcox Lithium project, located in Cochise County, Arizona. Acquired through the purchase of Pueblo Lithium LLC from AGR-O Phosphate Inc. in 2014, the property is comprised of 61 lode mining claims.

The purpose of the 2014 Willcox drilling program is to confirm historic exploration results and to test groundwater samples for use in Stria’s proprietary membrane processing technologies now under development. This technology will allow Stria to recover lithium from brine type deposits without the need of large scale evaporation ponds and their associated environmental impacts.

Is it loonie to collect your salary in Bitcoin?

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:58 AM on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014

A small but growing – and surprising – number of workers are rejecting Canadian dollar salaries for Bitcoin, according to a Waterloo, Ont., payroll firm.

Wagepoint CEO Shrad Rao said his firm came up with the cryptocurrency payment option in November last year as a side project and did not expect any take-up.

Video: Wrapping your head around bitcoin

But as the online currency gained popularity this year, he said, employees from 10 firms have signed up for the Bitcoin option, and many more are asking about it.

“When we started off, we didn’t even think we’ll get one,” he said over the phone from New York, where Wagepoint has another office.

“What’s interesting is that we’ve actually had customers come to us because of the (Bitcoin) integration, which we were not expecting at all.”

Rao said the firms are overwhelmingly technology companies, whose workers have higher interest in new innovations and tend to dabble more.

In addition to Canadian interest, he said gets about five inquiries for Bitcoin payment per month from the United States, where Wagepoint also operates, although it has not yet launched such an option in that country.

Bitcoin, a decentralized currency, was launched in 2009 by an as-yet unknown person or group. It gained mainstream attention in 2013, and subsequent adoption caused one bitcoin to rise to a high of $1,000.

But most brick-and-mortar shops still do not recognize Bitcoin as currency, and neither does the Canadian government, which in June ruled Bitcoin is property.

Canada Revenue Agency spokesman Noel Carisse said paying employees in Bitcoin means paying them in goods – “a barter transaction.”

“The goods – the Bitcoin, in the case of digital currency – must be valued and reported in Canadian dollars,” he said in an e-mail.

“The employee would then include the appropriate amount on their tax return for the year as employment income. Any tax payable would have to be paid in Canadian dollars.”

For Wagepoint, however, it works differently. Rao said for tax purposes, employees are still being paid with Canadian dollars on paper.

He said workers can have all or part of their wages in bitcoins, and taxes are taken from the Canadian dollar salary before the remainder is converted.

“Really, it’s (about) what you do with your personal income at that point,” he said. “If you bought a boat with it or invest in Bitcoin – I’m not sure that’s very different from each other.”

But the payment system will not likely have mass adoption until there is regulation and widespread acceptance for Bitcoin, according to an expert.

Cissy Pau of the Vancouver-based Clear HR Consulting, which deals with small businesses, predicts being paid in virtual currency will not expand beyond the tech world because there are currently too few places to spend it.

“Tech companies, I can see that,” she said. “But I just can’t see that in, say, Canada Post, a more traditional-type company with more traditional-type workers. I would suspect that people will be highly skeptical.”

Currently, even those who earn exclusively in bitcoins cannot escape traditional currency.

Michael Perklin of Bitcoinsultants does business in the virtual currency and has not earned Canadian dollars since February, but does not use Bitcoin directly in most day-to-day transactions.

Perklin said he uses third-party services that allow him to make regular purchases and bill payments in Bitcoin, and also sells bitcoins for cash.

For instance, Perklin’s mortgage is paid for through a Canadian dollar chequing account where he deposits funds after selling bitcoins on online exchanges.

Perklin said living completely without traditional currency may be possible in the future, but it is difficult to do right now.

“I have to interact with Canadian currency,” he said. “That’s a fact of live in the country I live in.”

Smoking hot marijuana stocks could give investors a buzz

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:41 AM on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014
Dilys Chan, BNN.ca staff
10:53 AM, E.T. | August 30, 2014
Canadian, Energy & Resources

It’s an exciting time for medical pot in Canada. Two new licensed medical marijuana companies started trading on Monday: OrganiGram Holdings Inc. (OGI.V 2.27 0.02 0.89%) and Bedrocan Cannabis Corp. (BED.V 1.12 0.04 3.7%). They joined Tweed Marijuana Inc. (TWD.V 2.45 -0.02 -0.81%) on the TSX Venture Exchange, bringing the total number of publicly traded marijuana stocks in Canada to three. Both of the new stocks ended the week above their opening prices.

The trend in the commodities space will continue with a fourth company, Mettrum, to hold an IPO in September. According to Khurram Malik, a research analyst at Jacob Securities, the fledgling licensed marijuana industry is at very early stages of enormous growth.

“The [companies] on the Venture exchange with licenses – they’re going to go from $0 to $10 million in revenue pretty quickly in the next year. Tweed’s a perfect example. They’ll have 12 grow rooms up and running by the end of the year,” said Malik.

“The question over the next few months is how quickly suppliers can get their act together and start getting their supply in the market. It is a bit tricky to produce marijuana at a large scale.”

Producers who can ramp up capacity, production and revenue quickly enough can tap into a target market that could potentially generate $1.8 billion in annual revenue, he said to BNN.

The cannabis plant can be a legitimate treatment option for over 100 ailments, said Malik, with pain relief being a common use. With an estimated 500,000 medical pot users in Canada and only 13 suppliers licensed by Health Canada, there is significant demand for product.

“These are very profitable investments for investors to be getting exposure to,” he said.

Investors can compare two key metrics of companies as the industry matures, Malik said. The first is cost to grow product, measured in dollar per gram. The second is how effectively the company acquires customers, a metric that will become more important as producers seek to differentiate themselves from their competition.

Ultimately, Malik thinks marijuana will be legalized, though it’s unclear when that will happen. In the meantime, a regulatory challenge for producers is that they can’t market directly to the consumers or open storefronts. Potential customers need a medical document, similar to a prescription, which then allows them to choose a supplier. But, they have to research and find the supplier on their own. The industry depends on its consumers being self-educating.

Despite that inconvenience, Malik isn’t worried about demand being low for medical pot.

“Buying from the legitimate producers is cheaper, it’s a higher quality and it’s more convenient than going to your proverbial street corner and buying it black market at twice the price.”

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:46 AM on Thursday, August 28th, 2014

Montreal, Quebec / August 28 2014 / Uragold Bay Resources Inc. (“Uragold”) (TSX Venture: UBR) through it’s wholly owned subsidiary, Quebec Quartz is pleased to offer the investing public the following general information on Silicon Metal and the High Purity Quartz.

Uragold and Quebec Quartz will concentrate their work on High Purity Quartz and Metallurgical Silicon Metal for which applications and dollar value of quartz greatly vary based on the purity of the material. The company acquired some of the most prospective historical High Purity Quartz (HPQ) deposits with High Purity Silica (+98.5% SiO2) (HPS) values in Quebec during Q2 2014 through it’s subsidiary Quebec Quartz.

The Quebec Quartz assets can be viewed at: http://www.uragold.com/Quebec-Quartz.php

Patrick Levasseur, President and COO of Uragold stated that: “We have noticed in the last few months that investors are very eager to hear about the developments for silicon metal in Quebec but have not been able to find a comprehensive source for researching the potential of the market.” Mr. Levasseur went on to add: “We are thus extremely pleased to offer investor this first of hopefully many non-exhaustive educational news releases.”

What are High Purity Quartz and Silicon Metal?

High Purity Quartz

  • High Purity Quartz (HPQ) has a purity level in excess of 99.997% and is extremely rare.-Used in the semiconductor industry to produce crucibles and quartz glass products, such as windows, rods, and tubes [Source].-Also used in the production of silicon metal, which is the base for the semiconductor wafers, made using the Czochralski Process [Source].
  • High purity quartz deposits with low impurities are rare, world supplies are tightening and HPS prices are rising [Source ].
  • Demand for HPQ is growing with the high tech industry and the price for premium HPQ can vary between US$ 8,000 to US$ 25,000 or more per ton depending on the specifications needed for the final application [Source ].

Metallurgical Silicon Metal

  • Metallurgical Silicon Metal has a purity of 98.5% or higher and is used as an alloying agent in the aluminum industry due to its ability to increase the strength of aluminum [Source].-Adding Silicon Metal to aluminum alloys makes them strong and light [Source].-As a result they are increasingly used in the automotive industry to replace heavier cast iron components [Source].
  • Allows weight reductions and a reduction in fuel consumption [Source].
  • Demand for aluminium has increased 5% CAGR over the past 20 years [Source].
  • It has also been reported that the solar industry will have it’s first global panel shortage since 2006 [Source].
  • It has become one of today’s key strategic minerals with applications in high-tech industries that include semiconductors, LCD displays, fused quartz tubing, microelectronics, solar silicon applications and recently, Silicon Anode Lithium Batteries
  • Silicon Metal with 98.50% SiO2 purity sells for about US$ 3,200 per ton (or US$ 1.45 US a pound) [Source].

Ferro Silicon

  • Has a purity of 50%-98% SiO2, produced by reduction of silica or sand with coke in presence of iron [Source].-Ferrosilicon is used as a source of silicon to reduce metals from their oxides and to deoxidize steel and other ferrous alloys [Source].-Ferrosilicon is also used for manufacture of silicon, corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant ferrous silicon alloys, and silicon steel for electromotors and transformer cores [Source].
  • Usual formulations on the market are ferrosilicons with 15%, 45%, 75%, and 90% silicon [Source].
  • Ferrosilicon with 75% SiO2 purity sells for about US$ 2,170 per ton (or US$ 0.985 a pound) [Source].

Frac Sand

  • Lower quality silica is used for frac sand in the oil and gas industry.-Frac sand is in high demand and will experience a 30% increase in growth as the shale gas industry continues to grow [Source].-Pricing for Frac sand remains well below US$ 100 per ton [Source].

About Quebec Quartz

Uragold acquired some of the most prospective historical High Purity Quartz deposits with High Purity Silica (+99.5% SiO2) (HPS) values in Quebec during Q2 2014. Quebec Quartz is a 100% own subsidiary of Uragold Bay Resources, a junior exploration company listed on the TSX Venture under the symbol UBR. Quebec Quartz holds a strategic portfolio of high purity silica (+99.5% SiO2) deposits and closed silicon metal mines in Quebec.

About Silica

Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals. It occurs in many different settings throughout the geological record. High Purity Quartz deposits with low impurities are rare. However, only very few deposits are suitable in volume, quality and amenability to tailored refining methods for specialty high purity applications.

High Purity Silica (HPS) and Silicon Metal which is used in large part in the aluminum industry has become one of today’s key strategic minerals with applications in high-tech industries that include semiconductors, LCD displays, fused quartz tubing, microelectronics, solar silicon applications and recently, Silicon Anode Lithium Batteries
