One place i would deffo be all over but its national trust is up in north bodmin

Nudge nudge ;-)

Cheers for the back up vis

Look at the grades !

Fira, when i put in £25,000@14p you said it was dodgy ? Changed your tune ?

Tyson, I think its worth holding cusn. I guess you are around 12-15p ave. I think 21-23p is about right BUT the first company to process mica could be a real winner. This could really open up the amount of lithium they can produce. I would not say its a screaming buy but neither would I sell with room to take a short term drop with headroom to still be up.
Buying above 18-20p at the moment is one to do serious research on and a persons risk reward attitude.
Hold and wait until Cornish Lithium spin off.

Nel Hydrogen nuclear inc hydrogen power supplied by Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser to start this year lets not forget. PR should be pretty good
"A Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer will be installed and will use the station’s existing hydrogen storage system and supporting infrastructure. The electrolyzer will be installed and operations are expected to begin in 2022. "

Nel hydrogen electrolyser USA.
"The solar power generated is transferred to the hydrogen production plant and powers the electrolyzer. The electrolyzer uses water and electricity to make the hydrogen. The hydrogen is then moved to compressors, which takes the hydrogen from a low pressure, around 500, and gets it to a higher pressure, around 7,500 PSI, shares Kareem Afzal, CEO, PDC Machines."

Nel Hydrogen US electrolyser project gets going.
"Some of the companies that pooled their resources for the project include Trillium Transportation Fuels, which designed, built, and will operate and maintain the fueling station; Hembree Contracting completed much of the construction work of the station; PDC Machines and IVYS Energy Solutions supplied the compression and dispensing equipment as part of the station; Nel Hydrogen supplied the electrolyzer; and Ballard provided the fuel cell in the bus. "

IN. People can look at my post history and hopefully it will show I dont generally get in to the unpleasent side of posting. I hope all of my views on each share offer some sort of information, data, links to why I am invested.

I recently had a little gamble on Tasmanian Stellar Resources @0.024c ( listed on ASX ).
Next to Rincon Tin mine that is in production for Metals X (0.52c).
They are test drilling a big tin deposit with near S Crofty grades. The geology looks clear and straight forward, with a large deposit + upgrades to come and with the mine next door selling their tin.
They also have a gold project to prove up which again looks ok at a glance, but its the tin to Indonesia / Malaysia / China I am ok with.
Only one way to go imho. I only have a small holding there, but building there.
I hold over £25k here , so just setting up another nest with a little profit.

Tin will do us all a might fine job over the next 5 to 10 years, but I hope to be retired in 2 1/2 years and am not too far off my plan , but for covid and supply chains I'd be a lot nearer.
I have 6 shares in total and that is enough to keep on top of with 2+ hours a day research + work.
Anyway hope you all have a good weekend and 2022.

Standard Lithium to Present at the Bank of America Securities Virtual Battery and Storage Conference

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Standard Lithium Ltd. (“Standard Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SLI) (NYSE: SLI) (FRA: S5L), an innovative technology and lithium project development company, is scheduled to present at the Bank of America Securities Virtual Battery and Storage Conference on January 10th, 2022.

"electrostatic separation of the lithium mica from the rock without the use of chemicals".

Exactly what BRINE operations are doing and trying to get that fine FILTRATION BALANCE.

VIS - ION EXCHANGE = seems they have cracked the code for lithium mica.

So the viability of ALL Cornwalls rock lithium has changed THIS WEEK !

I know that CEZ in Czech Rep have drastically changed Cinovec mica processing and are currently testing a method used by a CEZ partner in the BULK production of cement. This has been a very thorny point for long term investors who already had been told the total process to production had been planned. I knew prior to pfs exactly where each part of processing was to be including the length of slurry pipe and where it went to. The full details were in place. They have put the project back by a year to look at this very very specific point of process. Not the mine. Not the total processing run. Not to be green , although remiving toxic chemicals from benefication is great news and will go a long way to getting that near Carbon neutral and environmental certification to proceed. The process planned has now totally changed for them and now BL have started planning from this point of how the heck lithium mica can be commercially produced ? They have half a standardised model of lithium extraction and half a model adopting the new tech processes that have arrived in the last 1-3 years involving proceccing brines.

My cheer is that if - and they now have - BL can produce lithium carbonate from low grade mica using brine technology, then the actual brine companies who are dealing with 3-8 times the volume of lithium carbonate production ie E3 7 million tons at PEA will go up towards 10 million tons of LiOH for life of mine ( cusn/cl looking at rock up to about 1.5 million tons ? This could now increase with this new news ), but the importance for brine operations is now looking way way more commercial. If BL can do it from rock the high tech guys in the US and S America will blow the markets apart once they tweek to the B L level.

Ion exchange in rock is unheard of. Ion exchange in brines is what it is all about, but by a scale of x3-8.

Looking fantastic for CL and the brines PEA PFS & DFS, its going to be huge.

Ready briners will be ahead in the game globally.

I am now in and ready.

"Process Metallurgy
Known hard rock lithium occurrences in Cornwall occur within “Zinnwaldite” mica in granites.

Zinnwaldite has a complex crystal structure KLiFe2+Al2Si3O10F1.5(OH)0.5 and a maximum theoretical grade of 3.42% Li2O in the pure mineral. There is currently no lithium production in the world from lithium micas which explains the need for a new process and British Lithium’s focus on metallurgical research and development.

Hard rock lithium spodumene deposits in Australia are the world’s largest source of lithium. Spodumene occurs as large crystals of relatively high lithium grade material LiAl(Si2O6) with a less complex structure than lithium mica and theoretical Li2O grade of 8.035% in the pure mineral, which is significantly higher than in micas. Seven mines in Western Australia use floatation to produce a spodumene concentrate of +6% Li which is shipped to refineries in China. Recovery rates of lithium to concentrate using floatation are however low, typically only 60% to 70%. The high grade of spodumene concentrate and availability of the Chinese market has however enabled Australian miners to rapidly develop and expand their lithium production.

To compete with spodumene, production of lithium from micas requires a unique and highly efficient physical beneficiation process to produce a concentrate with high recovery followed by environmentally friendly alkaline leach and purification. There are currently no refiners globally who can process Zinnwaldite concentrate and so a complete plant from mine, to beneficiation, to refining will be needed in Cornwall.

British Lithium’s engineers have successfully beneficiated Cornish micas using our unique process to produce a +4% Li Lithium concentrate with recovery over 90%. Note that the grade achieved was higher than the theoretical maximum possible. We have also conducted numerous low-temperature calcining trials, leach and purification producing battery grade lithium carbonate. Successful metallurgical research and process development is critical to demonstrating the potential for economic recovery of Lithium in Cornwall and much remains to be done."

This is THE first time in the world that lithium low grade mica's have produced lithium in any commercial form. A huge step for Cornish lithium production and UK supply.

This is THE FIRST TIME IN THE WORLD MICA has been processed to a useable level.

Big enough news to write twice.

Tyson, my guess is the double flow tests which will establish the actual single best way to process bulk brines from LeDuc aquifier , all 13 kilometres x 8 kilometres. These tests are not to solve a problem ( in my view ) they are to decide the best and cheapest way to production in the quickest way. Someone knows and is gently buying.

Bubbles going like a stone ? Anything in Canada ?

Sorry , its IG showing diwn 10%

Why 10% drop ?

True but the rock will be low grade as in sub 0.8% , I'd put my hat on it in an old 1950's Frank Sinatra way.

Look the volumes for rock lithium will be huge. I get you guys are happy for volume BUT what I will say is it is not where I live in the 1950's, its 2022 and mining of any kind has to be CO2 zero carbon , minimal footprint especially in and around local communities you only have to look at how SXX went .... Hands up who lost a load of money on that one because of a national park and locals against dust, noise and water table issues ? Anyone thinking mining is a breeze even on brownfield needs to do some modern day eco research. Musk will not put his money in sny company now that is not Carbon neutral minimum and using all high tech methods.

One example is Cinovec who now will be powered by HYDROGEN ( VIS ;-))) ) and Solar ( VIS First Solar in the US & NEL ;-)))) ). Look at the newest Steel factory in Sweden....Hydrogen powered and geo powered, carbon neutral ( nel hydrogen ). COVER ALL bases I would recomend.

vis - I cannot say the two words until I am fully invested where I want to be. you know who I look at and risk just got removed... if I had a £1 million now my friend and you know I am genuine. Tyson you can also vouch for my tips. all hydrogen is hitting lows but a contract a week ??? still low ??? teehee loading and loading fast. 15m buy went through after hours along with another combined approx 9m. one day after oslo closed ? why that sounds like a lot of money suddenly going in , teehee ;-)

happy new year fellow investors, 2022 will be a cracker jack year
