After that, perovskites will be the primary remaining avenue for further research.

Surge Battery Metals unveils PEA for Nevada North project, targeting high-yield lithium production

Surge Battery Metals CEO Greg Reimer joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the release of the 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the company's flagship Nevada North Lithium Project —a major milestone that confirms the project's strong economic potential as a scalable, long-life, and low-cost lithium operation. The PEA outlines a compelling development scenario for a conventional open-pit mine paired with dry-stack tailings and on-site sulfuric acid leach processing to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate equivalent. The proposed operation leverages Nevada's mining-friendly jurisdiction and infrastructure, setting the stage for North American-based supply of critical battery materials. Reimer detailed that the project is structured around a 42-year mine life, with production split into two major phases. In Phase 1, the mine will process 2.58 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of ore. Phase 2, which kicks off in Year 4, will double processing throughput to 5.15 Mtpa, supporting significant increases in production volumes. The operational strategy prioritizes the shallowest and highest-grade lithium zones, ensuring early cash flow and optimal economics. As a result, production of battery-grade LCE peaks at 109,100 tonnes in Year 6, with an average of 86,300 tonnes/year over the life of mine. In total, the project is projected to deliver 3.63 million tonnes of LCE at a recovery rate of 82.8%. One of the most notable figures in the report is the net present value (NPV) of the project: US$9.21 billion, based on the latest assay results received in January. The project's internal rate of return (IRR) and capital efficiency metrics are expected to be detailed in subsequent reports, but the current valuation already positions NNLP among the most promising lithium development assets in North America. Looking ahead, Reimer emphasized that Surge Battery Metals is committed to rapidly advancing and de-risking the NNLP through upcoming Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility studies. The company will focus on refining process efficiencies, optimizing mine design, and engaging with potential strategic partners to support future development and financing. #proactiveinvestors #surgebatterymetals #tsxv #nili #otcqb #otcqx #nilif #Lithium #NevadaNorth #Mining #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMetals #LithiumInvesting #MiningNews #ProactiveInvestors #ResourceEstimates #MiningPEA #GregReimer #EVMetals #CleanEnergy

Le Zimbabwe veut transformer un peu plus le lithium sur son sol

Le Zimbabwe avait déjà obligé l'année dernière les acteurs miniers à ne plus exporter de lithium brut. Le gouvernement leur demande d'aller un cran plus loin dans le traitement du minerai, avec une nouvelle date butoir. La transformation du lithium exigée depuis l'année dernière dans le pays permet de produire du concentré de lithium, mais cette étape reste sommaire, au regard de l'ensemble du processus de raffinage. En édictant ces règles, le Zimbabwe a voulu décourager les mineurs artisanaux qui n'ont pas les moyens de réaliser ce premier traitement. Harare veut maintenant créer de la valeur et produire du sulfate de lithium, un produit intermédiaire qui se vend environ trois fois plus cher que le spodumène exporté aujourd'hui. Le sulfate de lithium sera, comme c'était le cas avant, aussi en grande partie commercialisé en Chine, pays qui domine 80% de l'activité de raffinage de lithium. Il y sera transformé jusqu'à devenir un matériau de qualité batteries.  Des entreprises chinoises au Zimbabwe Si des miniers australiens sont présents au Zimbabwe, les sociétés chinoises ont aussi jeté leur dévolu sur le pays pionnier en matière d'exploitation de lithium sur le continent africain et dans le top 5 des producteurs mondiaux (selon l'USGS, le service géologique américain). La raison de cet intérêt est simple, la Chine a besoin du minerai pour faire rouler ses voitures électriques. L'année dernière, le Zimbabwe a fourni près de 15% des besoins de la Chine en concentré de lithium. À partir de janvier 2027, si le calendrier est tenu, ce sera du sulfate que le géant asiatique achètera. Répondre aux nouvelles exigences d'Harare Les miniers présents au Zimbabwe n'ont pas contesté publiquement le calendrier donné par le gouvernement. Mais, en revanche, ils demandent un geste aux autorités, pour qu'elles reportent l'application de la taxe à l'exportation qu'ils paient aujourd'hui sur les cargaisons de concentré de lithium. Un report, le temps qu'ils construisent et mettent en service les nouvelles unités de raffinage.  Le défi des miniers sera d'être demain capable de produire dans les conditions offertes par le Zimbabwe, « un vrai beau sulfate pur », fait remarquer Michel Jebrak, professeur émérite au département des Sciences de la Terre et de l'Atmosphère de l'Université du Québec et auteur du livre Des mines et des empires paru aux éditions Multimondes, la pureté étant un élément essentiel pour éviter que les batteries prennent feu.  À lire aussiLes prix bas du lithium pèse toujours sur l'essor des projets miniers

Moxie was the first mass-produced soft drinks in the United States dating back to 1876 when it was created by a doctor. Root Beer was invented by a pharmacist named Charles Hires, who introduced the beverage in 1876 with real sassafras, something today considered too dangerous and therefore replaced with artificial flavor. Dr Pepper was introduced by a pharmacist named Charles Alderton and his famous 23 flavors in 1885. Coca-Cola was introduced by pharmacist John Pemberton in 1886, who used a small amount of cocaine. In 1893 another pharmacist introduced Caleb Bradshaw Pepsi, the later name for the pepsin and kola nut extra in the product. In 1929 Charles Grigg introduced 7UP, which contained lithium citrate, a naturally occurring alkali metal with psychotropic (or mood altering) effects.Fig Newtons, Graham Crackers, Corn Flakes, and Grape-Nuts were all introduced as health supplements. In all of these cases we are observing beverages and food-substances that were originally sold as tonics, medicinals, and the like, while today they are anything but. What was originally sold as medicine is today sold as liberty, and what would certainly never be sold as a health tonic today is also never accused of causing health issues.The British Journal of Sports Medicine reported back in 2017 the “overlap between the consumption of added sugars and drug-like effects.” Cheese is likewise known to be just as addictive, something linked to casein and casomorphines produced during digestion. The study, published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, examines why certain foods are more addictive than others. Researchers identified addictive foods from about 500 people who completed the Yale Food Addiction Scale, designed to measure if someone has a food addiction.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Ein Mitschnitt der Jour Fixe-Reihe "Kritische Gesellschaftsforschung" vom 14. Mai Die Politiken, die derzeit die Dekarbonisierung vorantreiben, d.h. zur Abkehr von fossilen Brennstoffen und zum Umstieg auf erneuerbare Energien beitragen, erzeugen zusätzliche Bedarfe an unterschiedlichsten Rohstoffen (etwa Lithium, Kupfer, seltene Erden, Biomasse) und benötigen perspektivisch sehr viel Energie. Da Energie überwiegend oder ausschließlich auf Grundlage erneuerbarer Energieträger erzeugt werden soll, die allesamt eine viel geringere Energiedichte haben als Kohle und Öl, geht damit ein immenser Landbedarf und eine Zunahme der Nutzungskonflikte einher. Um die durch Dekarbonisierungsprozesse bedingte Zunahme sozial-ökologischer  (Transformations-)Konflikte, wie sie im Globalen Süden zum Tragen kommen,  zu verstehen, bietet sich das Konzept des »postfossilen Extraktivismus« an. Zu diesem Thema hört ihr in der heutigen Folge des mosaik Podcast einen Beitrag von Anne Tittor, die als Soziologin an der Universität Jena arbeitet.

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

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today?

Nach monatelangen, hitzigen Verhandlungen haben die USA und die Ukraine Ende April 2025 ein umfassendes Rohstoffabkommen unterzeichnet, das zwar als „historisch“ bezeichnet wird, aber in Wahrheit wenig Konkretes aufweist. Das Abkommen gewährt den USA bevorzugten Zugang zu ukrainischen Bodenschätzen wie Lithium, Titan, Uran, Aluminium, Graphit sowie Öl und Gas. Im Gegenzug wird ein gemeinsamer Investitionsfonds eingerichtet, der zu gleichen Teilen von beiden Ländern kontrolliert wird und in den Wiederaufbau und die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung der Ukraine investiert. Die Ukraine behält die volle Kontrolle über ihre Ressourcen und soll auch weiterhin mit der EU zusammenarbeiten dürfen. Vor allem aber will man ein deutliches Signal an Russland senden: Zunächst sah es für manche Beobachter so aus, als sei Donald Trump die Ukraine egal und er sei ein Freund Putins, davon kann nun nicht mehr die Rede sein.

This week's EYE ON NPI is looking at itsy-bitsy-teensy-weensy little rechargeable batteries that can keep your micro-power electronics running for many years without needing any maintenance from your users: it's Panasonic's VL/ML Series Lithium Rechargeable Coin Batteries (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/p/panasonic/lithium-rechargeable-coin-batteries). These are small, solderable batteries much like the coin cell batteries you're used to replacing in watches, toys, and other gadgets..but this time they can be recharged in-circuit to make maintenance effortless. We've covered lots of batteries and battery holders on EYE ON NPI - from enormous lead acid batteries to tiny coin cells (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/batteries-non-rechargeable-primary/). These are an essential part of the engineer's repertoire as so many products need to work when not plugged into the wall. We use coin cells a lot in our design work: there's nothing as compact and they have great energy density. But they're typically 'primary cells' - not rechargeable. That might be fine if you're using them for something like a remote control (https://support.apple.com/en-us/101261) or a small toy. But they do eventually need to be replaced, which can be a user frustration. For that reason, many products that used to have primary cells like AA's or coin batteries have slowly transitioned to embedding lithium polymer pouches. You can get rechargeable lipoly batteries in 100 mAh or less! (https://www.digikey.com/short/7njnd057) However, there may be some cases where you still want something really really tiny, like say 9mm diameter and under 1mm thick - a size only achievable with a coin cell - but without dealing with removing and replacing a battery every few weeks or months. Especially if we're talking about something that is going to be plugged in once in a while, or where the coin cell is a fall-back. This comes up often with devices that have real time clocks (RTCs) - such as clocks, computers, laptops, tablets, watches, GPS units (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5440), etc. They might have a main battery or power system that can run a microcontroller/CPU and display plus peripherals, but you still want to keep time and maybe an alarm setting when the main power cuts off. Historically, folks have just used coin batteries - ideally replaceable ones - but sometimes not as in the case of the DS1287 (https://theretroweb.com/chip/documentation/ds1287-647b3602989d3299594321.pdf) which had the coin battery sealed inside! If you're designing a product today that needs an RTC battery, we'd say take a good look at the Panasonic's VL/ML Series Lithium Rechargeable Coin Batteries (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/p/panasonic/lithium-rechargeable-coin-batteries). No holder required: they come with tabs to solder directly onto a PCB in vertical or horizontal orientations. And they come in a variety of sizes from the 20mm / 45mAh to 12mm / 7mAh and even smaller. Note that as expected, you're going to get less capacity than a primary cell, so these are good when you think you'll get recharged every few days or weeks. Don't forget: you will absolutely need a proper lithium charger to recharge these batteries. We've got plenty of charger breakouts you can use, we particularly like the bq25185 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/adafruit-industries-llc/6091/25805553) which you can easily configure for the 1C current charge rate to match your Panasonic Lithium Rechargeable Coin Batteries (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/p/panasonic/lithium-rechargeable-coin-batteries) They can all handle 1000+ cycles, we like the bq in particular because it has power-path which will help avoid unnecessary discharging/cycling. Ready for a tiny burst of power to keep your clocks a-tickin'?

Interview with Emanuel Proença, CEO of Savannah Resources PLCRecording date: 15th April 2025Savannah Resources is positioning itself to become a leading producer of lithium concentrates in Europe, with its flagship Barroso Lithium Project in Portugal targeting production by 2027. Despite current lithium market volatility, CEO Emanuel Proença maintains a pragmatic outlook, noting that global lithium demand grew by over 25% last year and is expected to continue its strong growth trajectory.The Barroso project plans to produce approximately 200,000 tons of spodumene concentrate annually at 5.5% lithium content, comparable to successful Australian producers like Pilbara Minerals in their early stages. The project boasts a favorable strip ratio of 6:1, which Proença describes as "top benchmark," along with a 73% recovery rate that is "close to top class." Additional value may come from by-products including quartz, feldspar, and mica, which can be sold to nearby ceramics and insulation industries.The project has received strategic designation under Europe's Critical Raw Materials Act, opening doors to favorable financing options. The European Commission's rapid implementation of this act demonstrates the urgency attached to securing strategic mineral supplies within Europe. Financial institutions, including the European Investment Bank and the German development bank KFW, have shown strong support for critical minerals projects after decades of avoiding the mining sector.Savannah has secured its first offtake agreement with AMG Critical Materials, who has also become a shareholder, providing important commercial validation. The company reports being fully funded through its Definitive Feasibility Study stage, expected to complete by the end of 2025, with construction planned for 2026 and production commencing in 2027.Proença emphasizes that even at current depressed lithium prices, the Barroso project would be profitable, with break-even economics at $600 per ton. The project aims to be "in the middle of the global cost curve while producing in Europe," taking advantage of access to skilled local workforce and abundant renewable energy resources.The company has prioritized community engagement in the economically challenged region, with Proença noting that no relocations will be required as there are no residential structures within the concession area. With 28 million tons of defined resources and mineralization remaining open in multiple directions, the project offers significant expansion potential beyond its initial production plans, positioning Savannah Resources as a key player in Europe's push for critical minerals autonomy.View Savannah Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/savannah-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Earth AI is discovering untapped critical metal deposits at half the cost in a fraction of the time. They combine machine learning and new modular drilling technology to move from detecting a prospect to drilling in just three to six months. They recently announced $20M in Series B funding in an oversubscribed round led by Tamarack Global and Cantos Ventures. Participating investors include Overmatch, Alpaca, Sparkwave Capital, Y Combinator, and Scrum Ventures.Roman is a YC alum, ex-PhD candidate at the University of Sydney,  and geologist with 10 years of industry and research experience in Europe, the Middle and Far East, and Australia.Here are 6 topics we covered in the podcast:1. The Problem The world faces a projected $10T demand for critical metals by 2050, yet new mineral discoveries have declined by 70% over the last decade. Current exploration methods are expensive, slow, and increasingly inefficient.2. AI-Powered Discovery Roman's team developed a machine learning model trained on 50 years of exploration data. The AI identifies geological proxies—subtle clues that indicate where valuable minerals may lie beneath the surface.3. Vertical Integration After realizing the industry wasn't ready to adopt their tech, Earth AI built its own exploration and drilling systems. This vertical integration slashed costs and sped up testing, allowing them to confirm mineral targets rapidly.4. Breakthrough Results Their AI led to the first-ever discovery of magnetic nickel on Australia's East Coast. They've since found lithium, silver, and lead deposits, securing land cheaply and unlocking high-value prospects.5. Founder Wisdom Roman emphasizes sustainable work habits and a strong internal compass. He credits storytelling as crucial to convincing investors and the broader industry of Earth AI's potential.--
