Looks like good strides being made now with Lithium solid state batteries. Appreciate that new technologies with alternative sources will emerge, but quite clear that development around Lithium is way ahead.

DMS I meant to say

Steve confirms no objections from Mali to amendment application. I think that is the first time we have had that confirmation???

Thanks Pharma,

😂😂😂😂

Does anyone know what this means…

That daft cow sez it in every sentence!

Hi Clapa,

I heard that Bernie and Steve were in ‘Discount DMS Direct’ in Birmingham yesterday….

Salesman.. aw yer awriot?

BA Yeah fine thanks.

Salesman What can I help you with?

BA. We are ok..just looking

Salesman. That’s fine. Just give me a shout if you need any help awroit

BA will do…

BA and Steve amble over to the DMS Phev version with 20000 hp, and decked out in the fashionable creamy Matt Grey, and all leather interior with Meridian sound system, and 4 zone air con.

BA what yer fink

Steve It’s lush. Will I be able to have a go.

Bernie ..We’ll see

Salesman immediately wanders over. .Now that one is on a deal at the moment, but only until 2pm today. There is a big waiting list however..etc etc

BA interrupts ..If you hound us you plank, we will go elsewhere

Salesman yeah sorry awroit but just wanted to let you know so you weren’t disappointed by missing the deal

BA.. Don’t worry son, we are certainly not disappointed. He grins manically.Come on Steve, let’s go fer a pint first….

Etc etc

Noooooo,

You aren’t a bloke called Paddy Gall in disguise are you?

He used to tell folk to sit on their hands!!!!

And they did. And then they wished they hadn’t.

(In joke for ex Ggp’ers)

Todays RNS is exciting. The Sunbeam property now seems to have the potential to be a big (re) discovery. Exploration companies sample, or even drill, prospective areas identified through mag or gravity surveys and the like, and come up with au assays showing a few ppb, or purely pathfinder elements. People forget this.

What we have here is a massive area, now to be expanded by 25 square kilometres, and with au at decent to excellent grades in samples across a significant portion of the property. The identified mineralised lineaments are 10 to 12 kilometres long, and I reckon the gap between the Pettigrew and Sunbeam (Roy inbetween) is around 4. All 3 lineaments can be extended north eastwards into the newly claimed area; Pettigrew in particular if you look at the mapping.

What I like is that it seems that most of the samples were 1m or less, with a max of 1.4, and, even at these numbers, results show a broad zone of mineralization with one sample, for example, showing 6.2 g/t over an interval length of 1.05m. That is significant in itself, let alone the fact that they saw 18.8 g/t within 0.3m of that channel sample. What I also like is that a “significant number of samples” were returning over 1 g/t au over a 100m strike, and this remains open.

I have seen small companies do well over 100 per cent on results like these. I just don’t think the significance is understood just yet.

UR

Hahaha. I bet it was!

Villagers in Stockton saying that there was no way the ‘damn steam kettle on wheels’ could carry enough coke (not coal in them days) to reach Darlington, and that this contraption would surely ne’er be the future. Ooops!

I reckon it is a biggy this though Lav. Everyone I know personally has been hanging back until the issue of range and charge times was more satisfactory. I have no doubt the predictors had built this into their forecasts for Li supply, demand and resulting price.

As BA said, a dip in 2023 into 2024 and then a rise again as demand once again begins to outstrip supply.

(Hoping for a good ‘un tomoz or Tuesday 🤞)

….And the ID2 under test also has the Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries rather than older technology. (Not the XFC version yet as still being developed)

Just been reading about the Polestar and Storedot partnership. It looks as though they will be able to overcome the issue of “charging anxiety” through the use of new silicon based anode technology in Ultra Fast Charge (XFC) Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. Research indicates that overcoming people’s concerns about charge speed and charge retention will be a key factor in ev demand increase.

Lithium IS the future.

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Have a butchers at NanoBolt lithium tungsten battery development…

Higher power, longer cycle life etc etc.

The Basher,

Obviously I, like others, have been monitoring the EV situation over the course of this last year. I take comfort from the fact that the Li price has pretty much done exactly what BA predicted.

My take is that that there will be constant electrical source development at pace now, but what I can see is that the major developments all seem to be centred around Lithium, and not away from it. Wether it’s lithium solid state, lithium air, or whatever, it seems clear to me that Lithium will be the key component for many years to come.

Please disregard your bad what?

MAJW,

Predictions leading to this scale of investment are based on forecasts for demand well into the future. As such, the monthly variations on price are not a factor. We are only just at the beginning of the demand cycle which will only grow as the world settles into the changes that we know are coming.

MAJW

This was always predicted; even Bernie stated in interview that the early price peaks would be followed by pullback before shortfalls hit again in 2024/2025 leading to Li price increases.

In the Stockhead Albemarle report you have just posted the link to, perhaps the conclusion is most telling:….

“Still, Albemarle remains keen on expanding its production capacity, predicting deficits later in the decade as lithium carbonate equivalent demand lifts five times on 2022 levels.”

Its

2p plus is realistic before the end of 2023; never mind 2024.

Hadrian,

Way off the mark but never mind…..

Merc,

I knew you would recognise my veiled references to 38p and ‘sit on those hands’!!!

Memories eh?
