3 Tips for 2021 - not financial advice !1 Jan 2021 13:06
After a fantastic hydrogen year all my holdings are still in place and will remain so throughout 2021 as projects develope.
Looking in to the near term future there are 3 I felt comfortable buying in the last few months. Any dips on these 3 and I will add as my hydrogen sector holdings is pretty comprehensive and with solid companies not "unicorns".
My 3 tips other than my big holding here with my favourite share NEL asa , are :-
1 - Standard Lithium, watch this move in the next 3-4 months as production is due to go mainstream. The recent covid explosion in the US has hit many shares for no good reason, so there was a handy drop back in Dec.
2 - Talga Resources - Graphene Anode specialist with its own mine of geographically safe, very high grade graphite. Plant which will be based on cheap thermo and hydro supply. Like Ceres the partners in the project to buy supply are ALL top draw solid and desperate being mainly European and wanting to stop the threat of Chinese influence within the EU. The money is solid behind the whole venture. Final mine Capex, resource and plans coming out around March. They have just raised money, which has imho again dropped the price handly down just ahead of big news. Solid ASX listed company.
3 - Piedmont Lithium - Some will know I bought this in the autumn. Some will question why when the financing needed to start and get the mine operational in the next 2 years looks so high ? I say the old ways of buying are the best , proven ways. Buy low and do your research.
Lithium will be needed and as before Piedmont is THE only hard rock lithium supply within the US. Tesla are buyers of tonnage and the mine is still only in paper ? Why ?
Look back at the history of the area, the main mine and all the EXTRA seams which have decades old historic drill results ie this is no oil drill to nothing out offshore, this is no gamble that they happen to have found lithium but not sure or quantity or viable grades ? No this is literally rock solid. There are other US claims to lithium rock, but here on the industrial East coast the infrastructure is basically there after the mine closed a couple of decades ago. It is just scaling up the product supply. As with hydrogen years back the requirement for hydrogen could easily be met, but now with whole industries being created those old supplies cannot possible deal with demand and that is why we have all bought in to hydrogen creation companies. Scale up with NEL is the new Heroya fully automatic electrolyser factory to open this year, within 12 months , 24/7 production. It will be a huge step. So back to Piedmont. It is rock solid. History has decades of mine data - tick. US lithium rock , the only true supply not in clay or too mixed with other rocks, or downseaming making extraction costly. No this WILL be opencast, cheap ( as mines go ) , safe country, previously provided industrial lithium. US gov with at least 12 Gigafactories in demand for a lithium.
