"I am invested and the main seem to concur with me."

LOL,

Dear oh dear Gooner,

I appear to have hit a nerve, don't I!

Every share that has declined by 99% seems to be haunted by a group of embittered losers: buy-high, sell-low merchants , who will vote up any b.s. that chimes with their need to blame others for their own losses.

Why not post some useful research, instead of your endless whingeing.

Sorry, I meant to say thanks to Smackeraim on ADVFN.

"SMALL CAP SHARE IDEAS: Newly-listed CleanTech Lithium with green credentials plans to get into production by the end of 2024

... More generally, Chile arguably offers the most renewable electric grid of any country in the world, and makes extensive use of solar, geothermal and hydroelectric power.

And the green credentials don't end there, because CleanTech is pursuing a different production route from most of its peers in the Lithium Triangle.

Not for CleanTech Lithium the time-intensive, water-intensive method of extraction from brines that uses ponds.

Instead, CleanTech will use a direct lithium extraction technology. The trade-offs here aren't just green, either.

'The traditional way of working extracts around 40 per cent of the lithium' says Boitano.

'We skip the ponds with a mechanical and chemical process. The opex is larger, because it's more energy intensive, but we're saving a lot of capex.'

Put another way, the company won't be tying up a year or more's worth of production as it processes in ponds, but it will have to pay for more plant and machinery to run.

All-in, though, that proposition still ought to look pretty compelling to investors, particularly in London where there's a high level of awareness about green issues in investing.

So, what's next? Drilling results earlier this month confirmed the presence of sub-surface aquifers at both the CleanTech projects.

Unlike most companies operating on brine projects, CleanTech is fortunate in that it controls the whole basin in which its asset lies.

This allows it room for manoeuvre when it comes to extraction, and also means that there is no issue putting back the lithium-free brines where they came from after extraction has taken place – simple.

The £5.6million that CleanTech raised on its listing will be put towards taking the company through the feasibility stage.

In the more immediate term, an update to the resource estimate at Laguna Verde, and a maiden resource at Francisco Basin can be expected.

'We're fully-funded to the pre-engineering and construction,' says Boitano.

A final decision on exactly how much CleanTech will produce is some way down the line, but it could be in the order of 5,000 or 10,000 or even 20,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent per year.

Off-takers are already taking an interest, and you get the feeling that in this investment climate, CleanTech's projects ought not to be hard to finance. Watch this space."

"SMALL CAP SHARE IDEAS: Newly-listed CleanTech Lithium with green credentials plans to get into production by the end of 2024

If there's one place in the world that's synonymous with production of the world's number one green commodity, it's the area known as the Lithium Triangle.

Why a triangle? Because it straddles the three-way border between Chile, Argentina and Bolivia.

On most reckonings, this part of the world holds around 75 per cent of the world's known lithium resources, and some of the world's leading lithium production companies have long been established there.

But there's still plenty of open ground and room for newcomers, especially on the mining-friendly Chilean side of the Triangle.

The latest company to venture into the area is CleanTech Lithium, which listed on Aim in the middle of March.

CleanTech Lithium has two projects in the southern tip of the Triangle.

Their combined area amounts to around 180 square kilometres, or 'twice the size of Central Paris', as chief executive Aldo Boitano poetically puts it.

It's a big landholding and at the Laguna Verde licences there's already a 1.2million tonne JORC resource, so CleanTech isn't starting from scratch – it's already up and running and ticking boxes.

Which is why, supported by strong sentiment towards green commodities, a great address, a solid resource base, and a clear timeline to production, CleanTech's shares got off to a solid start on their first day of dealing last month.

And, with the newsflow that Aldo Boitano's got lined up for the company, the support he's already found ought to continue on throughout the current year and into the next.

The plan, ultimately, is to get into production by the end of 2024. But it's the manner of execution that'll really impress investors. Because this is likely to be about as close to zero-carbon emissions an operation as you're likely to get.

And given that the end product is also destined for use in greening the economy, the ESG credits being built up here are significant.

One key to that low level of emissions is the location.

We've already mentioned that activity in the Lithium Triangle is widespread, but towards the southern tip, where CleanTech is, there's also a fair amount of activity in gold and base metals mining.

Gold mining giant Kinross isn't far away, for example. Those other miners have already created a fair amount of electrical infrastructure, like substations, for CleanTech to tap into.

How much it will need to do so, though, remains moot, as there is the potential for the company to tap geothermal power from its ground. ..."

OVERVIEW

The Phulbari Coal and Power Project is a substantial, world class coal resource that will support a long life, low cost open pit mining operation and is the only such deposit in Bangladesh that has been subjected to a full Feasibility Study including an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment prepared to international standards.

It is a landmark project for Bangladesh and will deliver substantial benefits at the national, regional and local community levels:

? Energy security and diversity : The Project has a unique role to play in addressing the country’s electricity demand as its development will provide the basis for a step-change in the country’s electricity generating capacity and also will deliver that large scale electrical power at a lower cost coal-fired electricity tariff than for imported coal.

? Regional development : The Project’s mining operation alone will provide 17,000 jobs (direct and indirect). However, many thousands more jobs will be created in industries enabled by utilising the Project’s coal production for power generation, heating and potentially petrochemicals, and from the business opportunities based on the large volume of industrial mineral co-products extracted from the mine’s overburden (which are in high demand but short supply in Bangladesh). Living conditions of all people affected by the Project will be improved, their livelihoods restored and in many cases improved. As a result of year-round irrigation, improved water quality, and improved farming inputs and practices, it will be possible to produce three crops per year with higher yields than at present.

? Huge economic impact : The Project will contribute 1.5% or some US$3.4 billion to Bangladesh’s GDP each year and contribute over US$9.0 billion in taxes, royalties and service charges to the Government over the life of the Project. The replacement of high-Sulphur imported coals and other hydrocarbons will have a positive effect on balance of payments and air quality.

In partnership with the Bangladesh Government, civil society and the community, GCM is committed to developing the Phulbari Coal and Power Project to the highest national and international social and environmental standards. In this way, GCM aims to maximise the benefits of the Project for both the company’s shareholders and Government and people of Bangladesh, while at the same time minimising any environmental and social impact.
