Now that makes things interesting ? Rush to who gets offtake building ? VW & Tesla getting 25% each from EMH & EMN ? Who knows but this is beginning to get a little exciting ?

Broker coverage on 1st March fir EMN was ftom ASD0.55 changed up to ASD1.35 target price. Nice buy - tick.

EMN czech manganese in trading halt in ASX.

Next bit of VW factory news ... ?

Anyway Sayona in Canada also have hydroxide active plant thrown in if tesla buy out Piedmont.

Sorry for the off topic. I will move on and find my lithium nirvana elsewhere

PS I did email British Lithium to see if I and my Aystralian mate can invest in anybwsy ?

Thanks and good luck here. All the best.

Evening Southwesterner.
Regarding your first post , the other was very helpful too, Piedmont I hold both on ASX £18,000 and since listing on the US market a big chunk £50,000 just in the US. Got a great price on ASX based on my original tip from the Australian mine owner in 2017 for Cinovec.
Always knew North Carolina Tin Spdumene Belt TSB is nailed on. Just so happens, the environmental push to create new industries has started and Biden decided that the US needs its own sources as China controls Lithium, Copper, Zinc, Graphite/ cannot yet really make large amounts of high grade graphene but they are trying to steal the IP of VRS and other Manchester based companies. As for Cinovec. The Ozzie guy went to the mine and had the tour 2018. Any and all strip out for prep in construction is straight away pay dirt. The initial tunnels down to the underground crusher will be widened by around 4 feet, all Zinnwaldite. They are starting with the obvious where the real money is but they have only currently PFS'd 9% only of the mine ??? Thus I know most of the other drill results as provided by the company , helped by the German compsny Solarworld back in 2012 who actually tested over the border, whoops and in to Czech from German side.
The lens slopes down pretty much from the Czech border in to Germany so Czech easily has the best side by far.
At Cinovec they have very little in the way of the major geological turmoil evident in Cornwall. Cinivec is so so much easier to read and map out, as I did.
I even mapped out Block 2 that they have not even looked at yet , based on previous Russian drilling data. They have yet more tonnage of similar type. In effect they have 3 lenses in Czech, but the motherload is Main Cinovec the one they are working.
A major company has been on the table since PFS first results. Just Russian v EU politics got in the way and still may yet, but the deposit is as sound as Piedmont.
You are correct, spodumene any day of the week, but I know the mica is easy to get to Li2OH grade level. It was achieved back in 2017/18. Tech has moved on a little so it could even come in cheaper. PLUS they have 1 shift currently. ( 3 on the cards and 150,000 tpa all being well and a fair wind is possible if asked and given permission ).
Piedmont 100% , Cinovec cannot provide all the lithium the EU wants and needs, I know this too. Fact. Heard a few details from talks and the amounts are huge.
Take Piedmont, I would not be surprised if Tesla buy the whole operation PLUS they get 3 Canadian spodumene mines thrown in AND royalties from Sayona or keep the whole lot. We are looking at around 350-400,000 tpa of LCE so approx 50-70,000tpa Li2OH A year !
Tesla also building a lithium hydroxide plant at its own car production plant in Austin Texas. Now what does that say ?
Also check out - land bought in Raleigh NC. Tesla have bought land just up the road from Piedmont and at Christmas 2020 advertised for a battery factory manager !
Make t

Just a question ? How much copper has been mined in Cornwall, and world class copper it is , in the last 100 years?

I also hold Piedmont in the US @@ . Very much quids in there. UK will need lithium way more than copper as my friend at Manchrster Graphite Institute explained about cars and houses being built with 10 years from graphene - NOT graphite. No copper in any car ! Now VRS ( not a holder as lithium is the pinch point, they can make graphene at fsctory levels and specific grades to the client request , so too easy to order ). Lithium... There will not be enough = simple.

Doing my own research and knowing a couple of mine owners in Australia helps.

Royalties in a partner that in my estimates be worth US$1B ?

Look at Vulcan in Germany & VW ... tin and copper byproduct if I am write. Cheapest tin and copper mine in the world if C Metals gets those royalties mate.

Thank you for putting me straight. I will contact British Lithium this am to see about how I may invest. Not a small individual you see. I hold a substantial holding in Cinovec from 8p in 2017.

Will probably look to move my money from here if they reply with options.

Good luck all. Extremely sorry to have the wrong end of the lithium tree here. My mistake.

On page 500 of Simons, I would suggest looking at the barcharts and the G3-G5 Lithium types, again a huge positive above Cinovec mine as they have only low grade 0.45-0.7 averages for 75-80% of the WHOLE deposit.

Page 500.

"Note that high abundances for many of the metals are centred over the G5 granites of the Tregonning and St. Austell granites, with the exception of Bewhich has high abundances inG2 granites. Hemerdon, south of the Dartmoor Granite, shows high Sn, Sb, Wand Bi and is most likely affected by subsolidus / hydrothermal processes."

As with my forecast for Cinovec ( EMH ) by understanding just where the melt points are in relation to old historic mine data and the current knowledge of roughly the geothermal high points, topography around each pluton it is possible to see the melt direction in theory. I will say this now and you can hold me to it later in the year. "The resources upgrade at EMH WILL go to 10 million tonnes of Lithium Concentrate , up from the current 7.5mt that is official." I have had this estimate for about 3 years now.
Tin at Cinovec , although not as good grades as Cornwall Tin ( and EMH certainly have ZERO Copper ;-) ), Tin will go up towards 500,000-650,000 tonnes in situ. Again this is my own estimation, so NOT financial advice , just a pointer to show it is possible to deduce the outcome.

Why focus on lithium possibilities Major Oak ? I suspect Cornish Lithium will bring Cornish Metals up with it and although I don't know, but would not be beyond putting a 1p bet on Cornish Metals getting help to move things a lot quicker than is currently being stated ? I would not bet against it anyway.

The partition coefficients for In, Sn, Sb, W and Bi in biotiteand garnet in a basanite (Adam and Green, 2006) indicate incompatiblebehaviour of these elements during melting, with the exception of In,which displays compatibility in garnet (garnet/melt = 10.3 ± 9.3 to87 ± 50,Adam and Green, 2006). Approximations of mineral/melt par-tition coefficients using phenocryst/matrix measurements indicate thatbiotite and muscovite host Sn and W (i.e. Dmineral/meltN1), whereas feld-spar and quartz can host Sn and W, but with Dmineral/melttypicallyb1(e.g.Lehmann, 1990); quartz from rare metal granite (RMG) pegmatitescontains less than 1 ppm Sn (Breiter, 2014). This is consistent with thefindings of this study; mineral/melt ratios of Sn and W in micas areN1andb1 for feldspars (Appendix,Table A.1.), implying that fractionationof an assemblage with a significant modal abundance of feldspar(+ quartz) over mica will result in a melt with higher Sn and W thanthe parental melt. Accessory minerals are also an important host ofNb, Ta, Sn and W within the source region, particularly Fe–Ti oxides(e.g.Stepanov and Hermann, 2013; Romer and Kroner, 2016).

If Cinovec is now priced at £1.00 approx, Cornwall and the right drill sites should from the data I have been reading all day produce a similar type and possibly better grades in general than Cinovec. see EMH.

Cornubian Batholith :- Cligga and Lands End area
G2 Granite Li siderophyllite 6070ppmm Tin 53ppmm
G3 Granite Li siderophyllite 3247ppm Tin 66ppmm
G3 Cordierite Lithium sample 3857ppmm
G4 Zinnwaldite ( also Cinovec EMH ) 16,299ppmm Tin 111ppmm

G5 LEPIDOLITE LITHIUM 22,650ppmm

It is clear the grades are there in Cornwall with the help I suspect of the hotter nearer surface geothermal heat in isolation rather than within a central larger continent. Thus the REAL prospects of brines being of great grades, my suggestion would be (once more tests have been carried out ) WORLD CLASS grades, will in time be proven.

And in relation to these Lithium Siderophylites, Pikes Peak, El Paso, Colorado Lithium extraction. These unique crystals are found in Cornwall to contain rather high grades as shown above.

I have been invested in Cinovec mine since 2017 and had the mine plans then. No surpise it is finally being bought and heavily linked to a VW takeoff within 2-4 weeks. 100,000tpa of LCE is easily possible of zinnwaldite mica lithium as we have here in Cornwall.

Time will tell all.

Or free up liquidity for Czech listing ?

Hopefully the listing can be before Easter ? Or else it will be late April due to the holidays in this pretty religious country.

If VW announce a possible site for Czech battery factory / car factory then the Czech investors will be wanting in.

US DFS and full offtake buy then should be helping to create a HUGE HUGE MASSIVE buzz in the lithium world , GLOBAL world.

2021, what a year we will all look back on.

Easiest share to hold at the moment. Just a few months to go.

Thank you fingers. Grabbed a load of EMN just, before the herd take it back up to AS$1.00. Cheeky trade. I know I can trust you.

Cinovec Lithium - Cornish Lithium the link. Armorica formation.
The Managing Director did the initial Cinovec PEA. A very good sign for Cornish Metals and also the uptake of the 25% take up of Cornish Lithium. Very strong indicator.
"Most recently Andrew was the Project Manager for the Cinovec Lithium Project (Czech) process development and in 2017 completed a Prefeasibility Study for the production of lithium, tin and potash. Andrew specialises in the specification, supervision and interpretation of metallurgical testwork, development of extractive metallurgy and process design and was instrumental in developing the unique low-cost lithium flow sheet for Cinovec."
Andrew Smith knows what structures link Cinovec Lithium Mica directly to the Lithium Mica being found in Cornwall.

Good thoughts Antelope. Good posts.

I'm watching v closely what musk is doing. He does not waste time. His Texas factory is just growing and growing.

Canada next where there are HUGE lithium, Nickel, Graphite supplies ready to go pretty much. PLL buying Arthur Mine spodumene supply and roylaties from other sales and other sayona lithium, with T holding 30% offtake gives Musk a straight forward way to 75,000tpa of Li2OH if he buys out PLL who are still 100%. Watch this space.

Here with CEZ , that option is off the table but Ant ypur idea of working with CEZ on the whole hub of materials is pretty good. Either way musk will get his lithium.

Ant, interesting thoughts.

One point for you to consider ?

Musk has bought land in Raleigh , North Carolina and has been advertising for battery Engineers. A few clicks north of 750mt lce TSB belt in Gaston & Cleveland Counties.

Not far to the ports on the East Coast.

You guys will laugh, but EU was mentioned. Just a suggestion , why build a mega factory in Berlin needing so much more lithium than Vulcan could possibly produce ?
LG & Panasonic SK and Samsung will all need lithium and he will buy it from anyone ?

TBH his bitcoin profit could buy out EMH straight out and he'd still be a billion up.

Going to be a great year for EMH & PLL. Both will blow the doors off.

Friday US volume looking like the same as Thursday 170,000 approx.

I think I remember back in the day , EMH on AIM doing 2 million in a day ? Not just when we had listed either but on news. Those were the days up 15p by lunch , two yellow card speeding tickets to slow the sp and back 7p by teatime. Then the reverse the next day. Then just up up up from the 2017 8p times.

Let us see who pops their hand through the letterbox with an offer for 15,000tpa of Li2OH ?

Musk is just cracking on in Berlin, even without permits ...
He is laser focused. Whether you like him or not he will not give two pieces of toilet paper thought towards VW and what they may want ( they've dikced about for 2 years too long so I kind of hope Musk gets in first. ). Way way bigger press for EMH too. VW are expected to do it, Musk taking the biggest lithium mine supply in the centre of the EU is much more fun.

Still, its a strong buy from me, once again.

Noise, the shafts are already there in EMH side. Only have widen about 2-3 feet to get the crusher equipment down to the first level. The rest of the shafts will be widened down to each phase depth.
REMEMBER - ALL the dirt shifted from any widening will contain lithium so its not really waste.

Unfortunately it is perfect for opencast, but the village is partly above the granite dome, so EMH cannot do it.
Thus the conveyer to surface.

As for depth.

Cinovec outcrops at surface in a few places, that is how near to surface the deposit is.
The bulk of Cinovec Czech is down to 150-175m sq. You could pretty much strip out the whole block. It is only to the West the drop off is steep going down very quickly from surface to 300m approx. The West does offer a few more questions as the deep drop off has not been mined.
First phase is toddlers play , nice , quick and easy money.

The Germans have a lot more to think about as it is much deeper the further you go from the Czech border. This will cost and is not as good a grade after about half way.

Imagine dropping your cornetto.

A wind whips up and blows the melting icecream away from you , like paint running down a wall, more drips and thinner. Well EMH have the Cornetto, Gernamy has the drips.
