Interview with Kevin Smith, Non-Executive Director of Iris Metals Ltd.Recording date: 15th May 2025Iris Metals (ASX:IR1) presents a distinctive investment proposition in the lithium sector, focusing on speed-to-market in the United States through brownfield restart projects in South Dakota. Unlike many peers that require years of development and massive capital expenditure, Iris is advancing a permitted portfolio of hard rock spodumene assets with potential production by the end of 2026."This isn't your traditional dynamic of what you think of in a Western Australian style spodumene project where we're going to go drill for three or four years, build a huge resource, then raise a billion dollars off an FID and go build it," explains Kevin Smith, Non-Executive Director of Iris Metals. "We have a quick path to production by leveraging the operations that are already there."The company's strategic advantages begin with location. In a US market that currently imports 100% of its lithium requirements, Iris controls previously producing mines that operated during the Cold War era. These assets are already licensed and permitted, potentially eliminating years of regulatory hurdles that typically delay new mining projects.Iris employs a "hub and spoke" model centered around three primary project areas: Beecher (which already has a resource statement), Tin Mountain, and Edison. All three sites are currently being drilled, with updated resource estimates expected by fall 2025 to support a final investment decision.The US political landscape creates additional tailwinds. Recent tariffs on lithium imports, even from traditional allies like Canada, provide market protection for domestic producers. Combined with production tax credits, these policies create a protected ecosystem for US lithium development.From a technological standpoint, Iris avoids the risks associated with novel extraction methods by focusing on conventional hard rock mining – a proven approach widely used in established lithium producing regions. "We don't have to prove up a process flowsheet like the DLE guys," notes Smith. "We're going to use technology that's tried and proven in Western Australia and other places."The company claims several advantages that could contribute to a competitive cost structure, including very low strip ratios (potentially as low as 1:1), existing infrastructure, and proximity to workforce and services. These factors lead Iris to believe it can operate in "the bottom quartile of the cost curve" globally.Beyond mining, Iris has demonstrated the ability to produce battery-grade lithium compounds domestically through partnership with Indiana-based Reelement. Initial trials have reportedly produced 99.5% pure lithium carbonate – potentially enabling a complete US supply chain without sending material overseas for processing.For investors, upcoming catalysts include results from ongoing drill programs, trial mining activities to verify cost parameters, detailed engineering studies, and a potential OTC listing to improve accessibility for North American investors. The timeline to potential production appears relatively short compared to many lithium development peers, potentially offering a faster path to cash flow in a strategic jurisdiction.View Iris Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/iris-metals-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Century Lithium CEO Bill Willoughby joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful completion of recent testing at the company's Demonstration Plant, conducted in collaboration with Amalgamated Research. The tests focused on advancements within the Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) segment of Century Lithium's proprietary processing method—yielding impressive results that could significantly reduce capital and operating costs at the company's flagship Angel Island project. The testing produced a lithium feed concentration of 328 milligrams per liter, with an outstanding lithium recovery rate of 91.6% in the primary DLE step. These results, according to the company, could meaningfully enhance the efficiency and economic viability of lithium production at Angel Island. Further downstream, Century Lithium successfully concentrated lithium in the eluate to between 12 and 14 grams per liter using advanced specialty membranes—demonstrating significant gains in the concentration steps following DLE. This allowed for continuous operation of the lithium carbonate circuit, which ultimately produced lithium carbonate (Li₂CO₃) samples with a remarkable purity of 99.87%. The company's next step will be to submit these high-purity lithium carbonate samples to an independent third party for evaluation in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery production. These batteries are increasingly in demand for use in solar power systems, grid-scale energy storage, and long-range electric vehicles (EVs)—sectors poised for rapid growth amid the global energy transition. #proactiveinvestors #centurylithiumcorp #tsxv #lce #otcqx #cydvf #mining #oricaspecialtymining #LithiumExtraction #BatteryMaterials #DLETechnology #LithiumCarbonate #CleanEnergy #EVbatteries #MiningInnovation #ProactiveInvestors #BatteryGradeLithium

Anson Resources CEO Bruce Richardson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major advancement in the company's lithium production pathway. The company has officially commenced the “polishing” phase of its high-purity lithium chloride (LiCl) eluate at the Green River Lithium Project in Utah, marking a pivotal step toward battery-grade lithium carbonate production. This phase is being carried out using Koch Technology Solutions' (KTS) advanced Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) pilot plant. The polishing process, a critical initial step in downstream refinement, is designed to remove trace contaminants that may remain after the DLE stage. The resulting ultra-pure LiCl solution will then be processed through evaporation and carbonation to yield battery-grade lithium carbonate. Richardson explained that after DLE, the LiCl solution undergoes further purification using advanced separation technologies including nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. These techniques are essential to achieving the high purity required for lithium-ion battery applications. Initial batches of the polished LiCl are expected to be completed in the coming weeks. Once complete, the solution will proceed through the final stages of processing, culminating in the production of high-purity lithium carbonate. Richardson also noted the enhanced performance of the DLE process with KTS technology, reporting a lithium recovery rate of approximately 98% and an impurity rejection rate of 99%. These figures represent a significant improvement over previous results, supporting the efficient, cost-effective production of battery-grade materials. This milestone marks a significant leap forward in Anson Resources' mission to become a key domestic supplier of critical battery materials, reinforcing its strategic role in the growing U.S. clean energy supply chain. Richardson shared observations from a recent industry conference in Korea, noting concerns over tariffs and future investment planning. He pointed to Fastmarkets analysis forecasting an end to current oversupply by late 2025. #proactiveinvestors #a1lithium #ansonresources #asx #asn #BatteryMetals #AnsonResources #BruceRichardson #KOCHTechnology #EVmaterials #CleanEnergy #ResourceInvestment #LithiumCarbonate #MiningNews #ProactiveInvestors #BatteryGradeLithium #ASX

In this episode, we chat with Gordon Stein, CFO of CleanTech Lithium, whose mission is to be a leading supplier of clean battery-grade lithium for the global energy transition by advancing direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology, supplying green lithium to the EV and battery manufacturing market. Gordon has over 30 years of expertise in energy, natural resources, and other sectors in both executive and non-executive director roles. A chartered accountant who has worked with start-ups to major companies, including board roles of six LSE companies. He discusses the history of the company, the DLE process and technology behind CleanTech and financing options for technology companies and the Lithium market in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cleantech Lithium is advancing DLE technology, which allows for the extraction of lithium from brine sources in a more efficient and environmentally friendly manner compared to traditional methods like evaporation ponds. This process can extract lithium in just two days, achieving a recovery rate of 99.7%. The demand for lithium is projected to increase by 20% to 30% annually, driven by the electric vehicle (EV) market and battery storage needs. This growing demand highlights the importance of developing cleaner and more efficient lithium extraction methods. Successful financing for DLE projects requires a strong operational strategy, including demonstrating a viable resource, conducting independent economic studies, and securing government support. Establishing partnerships with car manufacturers and battery producers is also crucial for securing funding. The capital markets have become more receptive to DLE technology as successful projects emerge, such as those in Argentina and Germany. Investors are increasingly recognising the economic viability of DLE projects, even in a low lithium price environment. BEST MOMENTS "They set up Cleantech with a view of finding assets in Chile where they felt it was a good mining jurisdiction." "Direct lithium extraction... you can clearly see in every analyst it's going to be a dearth of supply over the course of time." "We will use 100% renewable power... and we will re-inject the spent brine back into the aquifer area." "Nobody is going to fund your project unless you've identified and delivered a resource." "The markets have been skeptical, but I think now they'll start to look."

V Česku se blíží schvalování potřebných změn zákoníku práce. Velké emoce teď ale vyvolala snaha poslanců ODS a TOP 09 do připravené novely prosadit výpověď bez udání důvodu. Co změny přinesou? A proč odbory hrozí stávkou? Hostem Ptám se já byl předseda Českomoravské konfederace odborových svazů (ČMKOS)  Josef Středula. Odbory tento týden pohrozily generální stávkou. Vadí jim návrh poslanců vládní ODS a TOP 09 na výpověď bez udání důvodu, kterou chtějí doplnit do připravované flexibilní novely zákoníku práce. Návrh je dle šéfa odborářů Josefa Středuly neakceptovatelný, ohrožuje demokracii a nepatří do moderního zákoníku.  Proti jsou také opoziční strany, ale i koaliční lidovci a STAN. Dle ministra práce a sociálních věcí Mariana Jurečky (KDU-ČSL) není pravděpodobné, že by výpověď bez udání důvodu měla teď šanci na schválení. Plán odborů na stávku proto považuje za zbytečný. Při výpovědi bez udání důvodu by zaměstnanci náleželo nejméně dvojnásobné odstupné. Nesměli by ji dostat těhotné zaměstnankyně, lidé na mateřské, otcovské nebo rodičovské dovolené, ale ani pracovníci se zdravotním postižením nebo ti, kterým zbývá pět let do důchodu. Pro takovou změnu je spolu s ODS a TOP 09 i část zaměstnavatelů. O co odborům jde? Jak by mohla jejich generální stávka vypadat? A pomůže chystaná flexi novela opravdu rozhýbat tuzemský pracovní trh? --Podcast Ptám se já.

Interview with Chris Doornbos, President & CEO of E3 Lithium Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/e3-lithium-tsxvetl-pioneering-lithium-development-in-the-heart-of-canadas-energy-industry-5064Recording date: 2nd December 2024E3 Lithium represents a compelling opportunity in the North American critical minerals sector, developing what could become one of the region's largest lithium production facilities in Alberta, Canada. The company's Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) project aims to begin production by 2027-2028, leveraging existing oil and gas infrastructure and strong government support.The company's resource base of 16 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) - five times larger than all other Canadian lithium resources combined - provides significant scale potential. E3 has adopted a phased development approach, initially targeting 10,000-12,000 tonnes annual production instead of the originally planned 32,000 tonnes, demonstrating prudent capital management and risk mitigation.Financial positioning is robust, with $23 million in cash and $37 million in federal and provincial grants secured. Importantly, the project qualifies for Canada's 30% Investment Tax Credit on capital expenditure, substantially reducing the financing burden. Operating costs are projected at $6,200 per tonne against current market prices of $10,000-12,000/tonne, suggesting healthy margins even in the current softer price environment.The company's DLE technology, under development since 2017, benefits from Alberta's established regulatory framework for resource extraction. Rather than facing traditional mining permits, the project falls under oil and gas regulations, potentially streamlining the development timeline.Strategic partnership potential is significant, with E3 actively engaging automotive, battery, oil and gas, and mining companies for project-level investment. Recent sector moves by major players like Rio Tinto's acquisition of Arcadium and General Motos (GM)'s investment in Thacker Pass validate growing institutional confidence in the lithium sector.Key investment considerations include:Scale Advantage: Largest measured and indicated lithium resource in Canada, supporting multiple potential projects.Strong Financial Position: Funding secured plus 30% Investment Tax Credit eligibility.Strategic Location: Established energy province with existing infrastructure.Technical De-risking: DLE technology validated since 2017 with demonstration plant pending.Market Position: Early mover potential in North American supply with multiple strategic partnership opportunities.The macro environment strongly supports domestic lithium development, driven by supply chain security concerns and growing Western emphasis on reducing dependency on Chinese processing capacity (currently 70-80% of battery-grade lithium). Government policy and funding support reflect lithium's critical mineral status.E3's approach of repurposing existing oil and gas infrastructure for critical mineral production could provide a template for future North American resource development. While market conditions remain challenging, the company's robust fundamentals and strategic positioning suggest potential for significant value creation as North American lithium supply chains develop.Management's focus on securing strategic partnerships at the project level rather than corporate equity investment demonstrates a commitment to minimizing dilution while maximizing long-term value potential. The phased development approach and strong government support provide multiple paths to value realization.View E3 Lithium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/e3-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

„Osobně jsem byl velmi zklamaný, že Zuzana Čaputová ve funkci nepokračuje. U jejího příkladu si ale můžeme uvědomit, že jsou na světě daleko důležitější věci, než je politika, moc a potřeba řídit lidi. Dle mého by mělo být v politice daleko více lidí, kteří jsou schopni moc opustit a pociťovat zodpovědnost za svoje rozhodnutí a činy. To je poselství jejího mandátu, které bychom si mohli odnést,“ říká režisér dokumentu Prezidentka Marek Šulík.

Je to tři roky, co miliardář Martin Vohánka vstoupil se svou společností Eurowag jako první ryze česká firma na londýnskou burzu. Jenže zatímco firma od té doby vyrostla dvojnásobně, její akcie se v Londýně obchodují o třetinu levněji. “Ten timing (vstupu na burzu) zkrátka nebyl správný,” říká v novém Forbes Byznys podcastu zakladatel a spolumajitel Eurowagu Martin Vohánka. Dle aktuálního žebříčku Forbes 65. nejbohatší Čech v něm přiznává, že jej vývoj na londýnském burzovním parketu příliš netěší, ale zároveň si myslí, že je to jednak tím, že Eurowag je na burze nový a tím i nepříliš známý a také to, že firmy, které prochází investiční fází jako právě Eurowag, evropské investory moc nezajímají. “Když se podíváte, čemu Evropa čelí a co nám nejvíce schází, jsou to velké transformativní ambiciózní projekty. A ty vlastně tady v Evropě nikoho nezajímají,” popisuje Vohánka náladu mezi evropskými investory. Eurowag zrovna s jedním takovým projektem přišel. Na dopravním veletrhu v Hannoveru představil super aplikaci Eurowag Office, na které pracoval několik let. Je podobná Uberu, akorát pro kamionovou dopravu. Platforma má mimo jiné za úkol propojit volné kapacity kamionů s firmami, které potřebují přepravit zboží. “Spousty kamionů jezdí u nás či v Evropě prázdných. Je to až třicet procent,” vypočítává osmačtyřicetiletý miliardář v podcastu. Co vše Eurowag Office umí a jak velký gamechanger to bude nejen pro samotnou firmu, ale i samotný trh? Jak Green Deal ovlivní evropskou dopravu? A udrží si Evropa svou konkurenceschopnost? To vše jsme probírali v podcastu.

Odkaz na celý díl Letošní krajské volby jsou o silných hejtmanech nebo celostátních politicích. Jihomoravský hejtman Jan Grolich patří do té první skupiny. Dle jeho průzkumů ho za hejtmana chce i 23 % voličů ANO. To jsou pro kandidáta SPOLU z KDU-ČSL ojedinělá čísla, na celostátní úrovni takové překryvy mezi vládou a opozicí neexistují. Bude usilovat o post předsedy lidovců? Uvažoval se posunout do ministerské role? Došlo i na oblíbené téma zdanění tichého vína, budoucnost SPOLU a očekávání od krajských voleb. Podle Grolicha by mělo SPOLU uspět minimálně na jihu Moravy, Čech a ve Středočeském kraji. Partnerem podcastu je advokátní kancelář ROWAN LEGAL a provozovatel zdravotnických zařízení PENTA HOSPITALS.

Interview with Gabriel Marcelo Rubacha. Director & CEO of NOA Lithium Brines Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/noa-lithium-tsxvnoa-focused-on-fast-tracking-3-argentina-projects-4484Recording date: 6th March 2024NOA Lithium Brines is a compelling speculative investment opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the rapidly growing lithium market. The company's flagship Rio Grande project is located in the renowned Lithium Triangle of Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia, which holds over half of the world's lithium resources.Argentina is quickly emerging as a top jurisdiction for lithium development, with a favorable policy environment and strong government support. NOA Lithium Brines is well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity, with its lithium brine project in the Salta province, a key lithium hot spot.The company has made rapid progress since its IPO just a year ago, delivering a maiden resource of 2.3 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). Notably, this resource estimate covers only 12% of the company's properties, highlighting the immense exploration upside. NOA plans to aggressively expand the resource in 2024 through a major drilling campaign, targeting a doubling of the current resource base.As NOA advances the Rio Grande project, it has the flexibility to pursue either traditional evaporation ponds or direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology, given the attractive lithium concentrations in its brines. The company is also proactively securing a sustainable water supply by identifying sources within its own properties.Looking ahead, NOA is targeting several key milestones in 2024 that could drive a re-rating of the stock. These include significant resource growth from drilling, progress on lithium process engineering, and confirmation of water sources. Drill results will be a key news flow item to watch in the coming months.The investment thesis for NOA Lithium Brines rests on its exposure to the high-growth lithium market, prospective Argentinian brine assets, substantial exploration upside, flexibility in processing options, and potential for near-term catalysts. While the lithium market's volatility and the company's early-stage nature present risks, the current valuation offers an attractive entry point with significant upside potential.In conclusion, for investors looking for a speculative play on the lithium market's growth, NOA Lithium Brines presents a timely opportunity. The company's prospective asset base, resource expansion potential, and upcoming catalysts make it a lithium developer to watch. While not without risks, the stock's current valuation arguably reflects limited credit for the company's progress to date and future growth potential.View NOA Lithium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/noa-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
