Lithium kennt man von Batterien. Mittlerweile wird es auch als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel gepriesen. Doch da ist Vorsicht geboten. Lithium gibt es in zwei Darreichungsformen: als Lithium-Carbonat und als Lithium-Orotoat. Das Orotat erlebt gerade in den sozialen Medien einen Hype als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel. In der Schweiz und in der EU ist es allerdings dafür nicht zugelassen. Und der Nutzen ist auch umstritten. Deshalb besser: Hände weg. Lithium-Carbonat dagegen wird als verschreibungspflichtiges Medikament bei nicht therapierbaren Depressionen und bipolaren Störungen medizinisch streng überwacht eingesetzt.

Seit der kommerzielle Abbau von Lithium in der Provinz Salta 2024 gestartet ist, boomt die Region im Norden Argentiniens. Die Nachfrage nach E-Autos, Stromspeichern und Drohnen steigt. Aber der neue Wirtschaftszweig bringt auch Probleme mit sich. Ariane Werner, Michael Schmidt, Andre Zantow www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Weltzeit

In den USA sind Nahrungsergänzungsmittel frei erhältlich, die mit besserem Wohlbefinden werben. Ob die Mini-Dosen Lithium die Stimmung tatsächlich aufhellen, ist umstritten. +++ Weiteres Thema: Warum sind die Schweizer Wanderwege in Stunden angeschrieben und nicht in Kilometern?

Lithium gilt seit Jahrzehnten als wirksames Medikament in der Psychiatrie. Nun weckt das Spurenelement niedrig dosiert auch Hoffnungen auf Schutz vor Alzheimer, weniger Suizide und bessere Stimmung. «Puls» zeigt, was wissenschaftlich belegt ist und wo der Hype zu viel verspricht. Lithium als Demenz-Prophylaxe? Eine neue Studie deutet darauf hin, dass Lithium bei Alzheimer eine schützende Rolle spielen könnte. Anton Gietl, Leiter des Zentrums für Alterspsychiatrische Versorgung an der Psychiatrischen Universitätsklinik Zürich, ordnet ein, wie aussagekräftig die Resultate sind und ob Menschen mit erhöhtem Alzheimer-Risiko bereits heute von einer vorsorglichen Einnahme profitieren könnten. Mehr Lithium, weniger Suizide? Frühere Studien deuteten darauf hin, dass Regionen mit höheren Lithiumkonzentrationen im Trinkwasser tiefere Suizidraten aufweisen. Daraus entstanden Forderungen, dem Trinkwasser zur Suizidprävention gezielt Lithium beizumischen. Lässt sich dieser Ansatz wissenschaftlich stützen? Eine aktuelle Schweizer Studie hat den Zusammenhang untersucht. Tägliches Lithium für einen positiveren Alltag? In den USA sind Nahrungsergänzungsmittel frei erhältlich, die mit besserem Wohlbefinden und psychischer Gesundheit werben. Ob die Minidosen Lithium die Stimmung tatsächlich verbessern und welche langfristigen Auswirkungen die dauerhafte Einnahme hat, ist umstritten. Professor Gregor Hasler von der Universität Fribourg ordnet ein. Hochdosiertes Lithium: Wirksam mit Nebenwirkungen Seit Jahrzehnten wird das Medikament zur Behandlung bipolarer Störungen und therapieresistenter Depressionen eingesetzt. Zu den möglichen Nebenwirkungen gehören Nieren- und Schilddrüsenprobleme, Zittern, Gewichtszunahme und in seltenen Fällen schwere Vergiftungen. Zwei Patientinnen schildern «Puls», wie hochdosiertes Lithium ihr Leben verändert hat – im Guten wie im Schlechten. «Puls»-Chat – Fragen und Antworten zum Thema «Lithium» Nehmen Sie bereits Lithium als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel ein und fragen sich, ob das gesundheitliche Risiken birgt? Oder ist ein Elternteil von Demenz betroffen und Sie möchten wissen, ob Lithium als vorbeugende Massnahme sinnvoll sein könnte? Welchen Versprechungen darf man Glauben schenken, und wo ist die Faktenlage dünn? Die Fachrunde weiss am Montag von 21.00 bis 23.00 Uhr Rat – live im Chat. Fragen können vorab eingereicht werden.

Gary spent 50+ years in public safety — police officer, then two decades in the fire service as an EMT and wildland firefighter, then a 911 center director and emergency manager, then six years running Apple's global public safety business. Last December, he and his wife co-founded a data center opposition group in Round Rock, Texas, after learning a ninth data center was headed for their town. A few months later, the Sabey Data Center a few miles from his house caught fire. He pulled the fire report and the hazardous materials records himself, through open records requests. What he found is the subject of this episode.The numbers nobody's citingGary rattles these off from memory, because he's spent the last several months compiling them:* An Amazon data center in Ohio logged 84 fires between 2021 and 2025. The same facility has, in some cases, delayed fire department entry by up to an hour over security protocols — with an active fire burning.* A Chesterfield County, Virginia facility had 4 to 7 fires in a single year, all lithium battery failures.* A data center in France lost multiple buildings on one campus to fire.* The Round Rock fire in March 2024 — lead-acid batteries, not even the more volatile lithium-ion kind — took 14 pieces of fire apparatus, a specialized hazmat team, and 44 firefighters just under five hours to control. Damage estimates have climbed from an initial $2 million to closer to $11 million.That last one is the one Gary knows best, because it happened in his backyard. The smoke — carcinogens, heavy metals — drifted into an immediately adjacent residential neighborhood on a foggy, low-wind morning, so it banked down and stayed low instead of dispersing. Firefighting runoff went into a storm drain that feeds a creek tributary. No public notification was issued. No media alert went out. “This was held very, very quietly by the city,” Gary says.Why it's so hard to actually put outThe Round Rock fire involved lead-acid batteries. Most new capacity is lithium-ion, which is a different problem entirely. Lithium cells fail through thermal runaway: one cell overheats — from a manufacturing defect, overcharging, water intrusion, physical damage, even a coding error or a deliberate cyberattack — and it heats the cells next to it, which heat the cells next to those. In a sealed building, the vented gases can build up to the point of explosion. And extinguishing the visible flame doesn't mean the reaction has stopped: crews see fires “go out” and reignite hours later because the heat inside the module never actually dropped.Then there's the water math. A data center fire can take 1 to 2 million gallons of water to extinguish. Round Rock has a municipal hydrant system that can supply that. Most of the towns where data centers are actually being sited — rural Texas, rural Pennsylvania, the four-hours-outside-New-Orleans sites Gary references — don't. A rural water tender truck carries 2,000 to 3,000 gallons. Getting a million gallons to a fire with a 2,000-gallon truck means roughly 500 round trips between the water source and the fire. That's the arithmetic a volunteer fire department is looking at when a facility the size of a small city catches fire in their jurisdiction.The standard that exists — and isn't being enforcedUL 9540 is the regulation for how battery energy storage systems should be built and separated to contain a fire if one starts. UL 9540A is the test standard that verifies compliance. It was updated in March 2026. Round Rock, which only adopted the 2024 International Fire Code in December, hasn't incorporated the update yet — and Gary is careful to note this isn't a Round Rock-specific failure. Most jurisdictions are in the same position, and many rural counties in Texas can't even have a fire marshal until they hit a population of 250,000. Out of 254 counties, most never will.Layered on top of outdated code: NDAs. Data center operators frequently won't share emergency plans, building layouts, or battery composition with the fire departments that would have to respond to their fires. “If there's something they want to hide that badly,” Gary says, “then maybe they should take their business elsewhere.”Why this might be the argument that actually landsGary's read, after four appearances before Texas House and Senate committees in the past two months: noise and water complaints get pre-empted. Developers show up to a town a year before residents hear anything, work the local elected officials, and have counterarguments ready by the time anyone objects publicly. Fire risk is new enough that it hasn't been pre-argued yet — which is part of why his first committee testimony picked up tens of thousands of views after Alec Baldwin reposted it, despite Gary having no public platform of his own.It also cuts across party lines in a way almost nothing else does right now. Gary points to Texas Governor Abbott's abrupt shift from “we're going to be the number one data center state” to ordering an audit — which Gary reads more as pre-election positioning than genuine reform, timed to clear the way for large, established operators (Google, Amazon, Vantage) while filtering out speculative developers who aren't shovel-ready yet. Even so, he sees it as evidence that the politics have shifted: “opposition to data centers is probably the most bipartisan issue I've seen in all my years of voting.”If you want to do something with thisGary's suggestion isn't complicated. Go to your fire marshal, or your fire chief if there's no marshal, and ask:* What's our current fire code, and does it specifically address battery energy storage systems?* Has this facility been tested to UL 9540A?* What training have our firefighters received on battery and electrical fires?* How many stations, personnel, and apparatus do we actually have, relative to a facility this size?None of these require expertise. They just require someone to ask, on the record, before the next facility gets approved — because once it's built, Gary's experience says getting the answers gets a lot harder.Protect Round Rock has the fire report and hazmat documentation from the Sabey fire posted at protectroundrock.org, for anyone building the same case in their own town.What to do nextThe full conversation also gets into where this connects to the broader AI risk conversation Gary's been pulled into by proximity — job displacement, Flock camera surveillance, and the extinction-risk debate — and why he thinks the anti-data-center coalition, being genuinely bipartisan, might be the most persuadable audience for those harder conversations.

Just a few years ago, the biggest question facing lithium developers was whether demand would justify a wave of new supply. Today, as producers raise demand forecasts, battery storage booms and governments scramble to secure critical minerals, the debate has shifted to whether new supply can keep up. In this episode, Cornish Lithium founder and executive chairman Jeremy Wrathall joins Argus battery materials reporter Chris Welch to discuss the company's plans to supply up to 20,000 t/yr of battery-grade lithium from Cornwall, the challenges of permitting and financing projects in Europe, and why he believes secure domestic supply is a strategic priority.  Key topics include: Cornish Lithium's path to commercial production Whether the UK's 50,000 t/yr lithium target is realistic The biggest barriers facing lithium projects in the UK Why China remains central to the global lithium market The growing importance of supply-chain security and defense

This week, we speak with Tod Higinbotham, CEO of battery maker ZincFive and Jim Rhee, Chairman and CEO of Spark I Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:SPKL). The two announced a $752 million combination in June. Lithium-ion batteries have dominated much of the conversation in cutting-edge technology. But, what if there was a battery chemistry based on more available materials that were more recyclable and that were an even better fit for certain data center energy needs? Tod explains how ZincFive's nickel and zinc-based battery chemistry is uniquely suited to providing high-density backup power to data centers, and how this SPAC transaction will help it meet the ballooning demand for its products.

Why Sodium? The global transition to renewable energy has accelerated the global development of lithium-ion batteries, but the mining and processing of its materials can be harmful to workers, local communities, and the environment. Sodium has a recently emerged as a potentially cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative that could revolutionize battery storage systems. Dr. Shirley Meng is one of the scientists leading the way in this field, spearheading the creation of the world's first anode-free sodium solid-state battery. Diving Deeper Dr. Meng's batteries have three key qualities: they are anode-free, sodium based, and solid-state. Though other researchers have developed batteries with similar characteristics, this is the first time all three have been combined. Most batteries consist of three main parts: a cathode, anode, and electrolyte. The cathode is the positive pole, the anode is the negative pole, and the electrolyte is the material between the poles. As explained by the MIT School of Engineering, when a battery is connected to an external circuit, electrons move through the circuit, while simultaneously ions move through the electrolyte. The anode in a standard battery stores ions, while an anode-free battery starts out with no active anode material—the ions come entirely from the cathode. According to laser tech company Laserax, there is one key difference between Lithium-ion Batteries (LIBs) and Solid State Batteries (SSBs): the electrolyte material. In an LIB, this is a liquid, typically liquid salt dissolved in an organic solvent, which is highly flammable. In an SSB, this liquid is replaced by a solid electrolyte. Dr. Meng calls the electrolyte in her team's batteries the “magic salt” because it's primarily made out of sodium chloride - the same chemical as table salt. By supplementing the magic salt with other chemicals like oxygen, yttrium, and zirconia, an ion-conducting electrolyte can be formed. The Pros and Cons Dr. Meng's batteries use sodium in place of the lithium in LIBs. Lithium and other LIB components can only be mined in particular regions, and production - besides being deleterious to the environment - is tightly controlled by a handful of powerful countries. Sodium, on the other hand, is predicted to be about 1200 times more plentiful than lithium in the earth's crust, and can be accessed from other sources like sea water. Anode-free batteries are often lighter, cheaper, and more energy-dense than similarly capable standard batteries. However, they can be harder to manufacture and can have shorter lifetimes. As advances are made by other researchers working on alternate battery structures, these challenges will likely be overcome, as have similar difficulties with LIBs. Dr. Meng's batteries operate best in the lab at low external temperatures, which fills a gap in the battery market in extremely cold climates; however, scalability and widespread use demands that batteries function in a wide temperature range. Solid-state batteries also come with a range of benefits and challenges. Besides being less flammable, they can have faster charging, higher energy capacity, and longer lifetimes compared to LIBs. However, they are susceptible to the formation of dendrites - or, tree-like metallic structures on the anode - which form during charging and can cause short circuits. Solid electrolytes are prone to cracking under mechanical stress, both in manufacturing and use. Like anode-free batteries and other cutting edge battery tech, SSBs have a long way to go in terms of scalability, but show promise in the future of battery development. Dr. Meng's Take Dr. Meng emphasizes that Sodium-ion battery technology is not new - research began back in the 1960s, but was outpaced by lithium-ion research, which at the time showed better results. Additionally, sodium batteries aren't necessarily a replacement for lithium batteries, but rather a complementary technology that many companies will be able to produce without much capital investment. With the combination of these battery technologies, there is potential to moderate the cost of electricity at peak use times. Dr. Meng predicts that sodium-ion batteries may be able to compete with lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries in the next five years, and suggests that until then, costly but compact lithium batteries might be used in mobile applications, like computers, while sodium batteries - which for now are heavier - can be used for stationary purposes, like grid storage. Overall, she feels that it's “critical that all of us… stop temperature rise” - and sodium-ion batteries are a key step in the plan.

Li-ion thermal runaways in aircraft cabins, Ryanair engine blade-out accident, two planes with the same flight number at the same airport at the same time, Marine One and commercial operations at DCA, Air India crash report update, Boeing 737 Max crack inspections, hiring gamers to become air traffic controllers, and the Heart Aerospace X1 battery-electric demonstrator first flight. Aviation News Li-ion Thermal Runaways on the Rise in Aircraft Cabins UL Standards & Engagement (ULSE) issued a 2025 Data Review, Lithium-ion Battery Incidents in Aviation [PDF, 13 pages]. The study reports a 15% increase in Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway incidents on passenger flights in 2025, compared to the year prior. Portable charger incidents increased 42%, ahead of e-cigarettes, with cell phones the third most common device involved in thermal runaways. The data comes from the voluntary ULSE Thermal Runaway Incident Program (TRIP). More than 40 passenger and cargo airlines participate in the program. These incidents cost the industry an average of $1.8 million a year, or $96,000 per incident, “in damage, disruption, and associated losses.” To mitigate the risk of thermal runaway incidents, ULSE recommends cabin crew training, standards for onboard safety equipment to help manage thermal runaways, and more passenger education. Bird strike suspected in Ryanair engine blade-out accident In July, a Malta Air Boeing 737-800, doing business as Ryanair flight 1879, experienced a No 2 fan-blade-out failure as it climbed out of Thessaloniki International Airport in Greece. Engine fragments breached the fuselage and the cabin depressurized. A passenger was partially sucked out through a window that blew out. In its Aviation Investigation Preliminary Report [PDF, 13 pages], the NTSB reports: “Examination of the airplane revealed that the No. 2 engine, an CFM International (a joint company between Safran Aircraft Engines and GE Aerospace) model CFM56-7B26, experienced a fan blade separation that resulted in engine fragments striking the fuselage and the right horizontal stabilizer. The pressurized section of the fuselage was penetrated 1) through the passenger cabin window located at row 11, as well as 2) lower lobe fuselage skin behind the right wing-to-body fairing… Additional impact damage was found on the right wing-to-body fairing, a dent with paint smearing on the fuselage window belt skin, a dent on a stringer common to the dented fuselage window belt skin, a gouge on the right horizontal stabilizer upper skin and a dent on the right horizontal stabilizer leading edge.” View of the No.2 (right) engine inlet. View is looking aft..Courtesy NTSB. “Examination of the engine and nacelle revealed that one fan blade (No.10) had fractured and separated below the blade platform. The outer blade tips were fractured and separated on two additional fan blades (Nos. 16 and 21). All remaining blades were full length but exhibited varying levels of impact deformation. Three loose fan blade fragments were recovered from the engine. A visual examination of the core was performed and there was no evidence of radial uncontainment though the engine cases, or any undercowl fire. The engine inlet cowl, which is forward of the fan case, exhibited evidence of punctures…” Bird remains were recovered and hand-carried to the Smithsonian Institution Feather Identification Lab in Washington. The Greece Hellenic Air and Railway Safety Investigation Authority (HARSIA) delegated the investigation in full to the NTSB.

FAA orders crack inspections for hundreds of Boeing 737 Max jets The final rule applies to certain Boeing 737-8, -9, and -8200 Max models, estimated to be 471 planes. While no cracks have been found in these Max models, the FAA received reports of cracks in a forward “bear strap” for several older 737 NG planes.

What happens when a finance guy who's never heard of lithium takes a job in a small North Carolina town because it's near where his favorite author lived?Joe Lowry is the founder of Global Lithium LLC, host of the Global Lithium Podcast (239 episodes and counting), and author of the new memoir Lithium Confidential: Confessions of a Corporate Misfit. He spent 35 years in the industry — including years in Japan and China — and for a stretch in the 1990s he personally controlled essentially all of the lithium supply going into the world's first commercial lithium-ion batteries.This is a longer, less traditional episode for us, and it's worth every minute. Joe walks through the entire lithium cycle from rock to cathode, explains why the industry started as a hydrogen bomb program, and gives an unusually blunt read on where the industry is headed — including his line that there's no Smackover lithium without direct lithium extraction, and why he thinks the first real success there lands around 2029.There's also plenty here for students and early-career geologists: Joe's argument that you should learn the industry, not just deploy your geology skills, and his advice on what actually makes a career durable.Some things we get into:Why lithium was in Post-it Notes, blue jeans, and grease long before batteriesThe full flow sheet: spodumene → calcine → lithium sulfate → carbonate → hydroxide, and why the "midstream" means cathode, not chemicalsHard rock vs. Atacama brine vs. sedimentary (Thacker Pass) vs. Smackover oilfield brineWhy grade matters: 600 ppm Smackover vs. sub-100 ppm produced water (sorry, Marcellus)How the market went from 300,000 tonnes LCE in 2020 to nearly 2 million todayThe 2022 spike to $80,000/t and what happened afterWhy Joe called BS on the high-nickel/hydroxide narrative and was right about LFPSodium-ion: real use cases, or a CATL press release every time lithium ticks up?What "crappy brine" means, and the fraud problem in African spodumeneCommodity or specialty chemical?

Interview with Blake Hylands, CEO of Lithium Ionic Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/lithium-ionic-tsxvlth-low-cost-developer-targets-construction-start-h2-2026-8741Recording date: 6th August 2026Lithium Ionic Corp has agreed to sell its non-core Baixa Grande lithium deposit in Brazil to PLS Group for up to US$70 million, a move that accelerates funding for the company's flagship Bandeira Lithium Project toward a construction decision.The transaction delivers US$37.5 million in cash consideration, split between US$30 million payable at closing (expected within months) and US$7.5 million due at the buyer's final investment decision or an earlier agreed date. Additionally, Lithium Ionic retains a 2% royalty on Baixa Grande, estimated at US$20-30 million in value. The sale caps a three-year hold on an asset Lithium Ionic always viewed as secondary to Bandeira, generating roughly eight times the company's original acquisition cost.Baixa Grande sits adjacent to ground PLS acquired through its 2025 purchase of Latin Resources, with geology representing a natural extension of the same lithium system. The deposit holds approximately 20 million tonnes of identified resource, work that helped drive the eventual sale price.Proceeds from the sale provide immediate flexibility to order long-lead items, including the processing mill, and fund early operational costs at Bandeira ahead of construction financing closure. This sequencing allows the company to advance procurement without waiting for separate debt or equity raises.Engineering work is nearly complete, and the underground portal contractor shortlist has been narrowed following a tender process.Lithium Ionic has secured binding five-year offtake terms with Chinese converter Yahua, covering 170,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate annually at a US$1,000 per tonne floor price with no ceiling. This structure provides lenders visibility that the project generates cash on every tonne sold, supporting debt serviceability discussions.With projected all-in sustaining costs near US$600 per tonne and spodumene pricing above US$2,000 per tonne, the project offers substantial margins. Brazil's open global trading position provides additional flexibility compared to projects tied to regional buyers.Management highlights a significant valuation disconnect, with Lithium Ionic trading below 0.1x P/NAV compared to producing peer Sigma Lithium's 1–1.1x multiple. CEO Blake Hylands frames this as a potential tenfold re-rating opportunity as the company progresses through permitting, financing, and construction milestones toward production targeted for late 2027 into 2028.View Lithium Ionic's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/lithium-ionic-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this solo episode, I discuss the state of the lithium market: the good, the bad and the ugly.Despite the market's overreaction to misinformation from China about the impact of a mine reopening on the supply and demand balance and the threat of sodium ion, lithium's long-term fundamentals have never looked better.Demand continues to go from strength to strength. Meanwhile, production shortfalls, project delays and efforts by African countries to retain more of the value created from their resources continue to put pressure on supply.Topics:ALB's bullish market commentarySQM displaces ALB as the #1 producerCATL: #1 in GWH & misinformationThe pulled US lithium tenderThe midstream/downstream future in OzUS critical metals "hype machine"Tesla's long ramp up in TexasBuy the book

Interview with Aaron Revelle, MD & CEO of Pursuit MineralsRecording date: 5th August 2026Pursuit Minerals is advancing a small-scale lithium development strategy in Argentina while preparing to test a newly defined gold-silver exploration system. The company's flagship Rio Grande Sur project, located on the Rio Grande Salar in Salta province, is supported by a completed Pre-Feasibility Study for an initial 5,000-tonne-per-year lithium carbonate operation.The study outlines a net present value of approximately $364 million, estimated capital costs of $120 million to $157 million and an internal rate of return of about 22%. With forecast operating costs of roughly $6,500 per tonne, the project is positioned in the lower quartile of the global cost curve. Pursuit has also produced technical-grade lithium carbonate with 99.5% purity from its pilot plant, providing practical validation of the proposed processing flowsheet.The company is relocating the pilot plant to Rio Grande Sur to test the process using site brine and local operating conditions. It has also expanded its landholding by 1,362 hectares through an acquisition from REMSA, bringing the project's total tenement area to approximately 10,595 hectares. Diamond drilling is now underway at the Mito target, where geophysical surveys identified a deep, basin-scale conductive anomaly.Pursuit is assessing larger production scenarios through Stage 2 Pre-Feasibility Study addendums, including lithium carbonate and lithium chloride options. Its proposed development model is to secure an offtake partner, use project debt to fund the initial operation and expand production after the base plant generates cash flow.The company's second asset, the Sascha Marcelina gold-silver project in Santa Cruz province, has advanced following geological mapping that identified five priority targets. An induced polarisation survey is underway, with maiden drilling expected to begin from September 2026.Pursuit held $3.068 million in cash at 30 June 2026 and owned a $4.82 million stake in Kendrick Resources. While its modest market capitalisation and low-capex strategy may offer leverage to improving lithium demand, securing construction finance remains the critical challenge.View Pursuit Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/pursuit-minerals-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

If you own oil and gas minerals, you already know the drill: you own what's under your land, someone leases it, and you get a royalty check. Did you know there is an entirely separate side to mineral rights on federal lands and that has to do with mining claims.  In this episode, we sit down with attorney and Utah landman Justin Rammell of Rammell Law, PLLC, to break down how mining claims actually work, why a "valid claim" doesn't mean someone can start digging tomorrow, and all that you need to know about lithium rights. Be sure to check out the video of this interview (link will be posted when available).  As always, links to the resources mentioned in this episode can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com

Interview with Rodrigo Roso, Director & CEO of Scotia MetalsRecording date: 30th July 2026Scotia Metals Corp has emerged as a significant new player in Canada's lithium sector, positioning itself as the largest lithium landholder in Nova Scotia with 37,268 hectares across 43 licences. Formed through a July 2026 business combination, the company controls a land package extending more than 80 kilometres along a प्रमुख geological corridor, directly adjacent to the Brazil Lake spodumene deposit, which hosts an estimated 10 million tonnes grading 1.20% Li₂O.Early exploration at Scotia's flagship Green Wolf target has produced encouraging results, including more than 30 spodumene-bearing boulder samples grading between 1% and 3.40% Li₂O. The size, distribution, and angular nature of these boulders suggest multiple nearby pegmatite sources, indicating strong potential for bedrock mineralisation within the company's claims.Scotia Metals is led by CEO Rodrigo Roso and a management team with experience in building and exiting resource companies, including roles at Galaxy Resources, Allkem, and K92 Mining. The company raised approximately $5.8 million alongside its listing and maintains a tightly held share structure, with about 50% owned by insiders and 40% by long-term backers, aligning interests toward sustained project development.The company plans to begin scout drilling in the third quarter of 2026, followed by more extensive resource-definition drilling aimed at supporting a maiden resource estimate. However, timelines for this milestone remain unclear, with guidance ranging from late 2026 to 2027.Scotia benefits from strong infrastructure, including proximity to ports, highways, and power, as well as supportive provincial policies for critical minerals. With lithium prices rebounding sharply after a recent downturn and long-term demand driven by electric vehicles and energy storage, Scotia Metals is positioning itself to capitalize on a strengthening market while advancing one of Atlantic Canada's most prospective new lithium districts.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the WTR Small Cap Spotlight, Avalon Advanced Materials CEO Scott Monteith, CFO Lorin Crenshaw, and VP of Corporate Development Chris Sinek join WTR's Tim Gerdeman and Dmitry Silversteyn to discuss the company's strategy to become a North American rare earth and lithium processing platform. The conversation covers Avalon's Nasdaq listing ambitions, a €100 million Finnvera Letter of Interest, current rare earth and lithium market dynamics, and the execution milestones that could reshape the company's valuation over the next 12 to 18 months. 

There is an element sitting in your brain right now, and nobody has established how much you are supposed to have.  It may shape how you think, how you act, and whether your mind holds up as you age. Last year a Harvard lab placed it near the center of Alzheimer's, arguing that running short of it may be one of the first things that goes wrong in the diease. It is already sold as the next longevity compound, the thing that finally protects the aging brain, and the people selling it have a real paper behind them. This investigation takes that case apart study by study to find out how much of it holds. The question sounds simple. The answer, as always, is not.00:00 – Intro: Lithium and the Brain01:57 – Lithium's Origin as a Bipolar Drug04:55 – The Brain Growth Claim10:10 – Where the Evidence Breaks Down12:12 – The Harvard Brain Study15:36 – Should You Take Lithium?18:04 – New Trial Starting This Fall

He Collapsed My Lungs & Ended Up WANTED w/ Kristin Swan (TW abuse) | The Hopeaholics Podcast #345Kristin grew up in Lakeville, Massachusetts, an hour south of Boston, in a house where disease was already present before she arrived at it. Her mother drank and went to meetings and died the day right after Mother's Day. Both her cousins are gone from fentanyl poisoning. By 15 she was cycling in and out of psychiatric hospitals, diagnosed bipolar, put on lithium, hearing voices. She hadn't touched a drug yet.By 20 she was in a relationship with a man dealing crack out of their apartment. She saw the red flags early. She stayed anyway. It all ended in a snowstorm when he body-slammed her, collapsed both lungs, and stomped her head with Timberlands on while she was in the bathtub. She created a diversion, kicked the wall, and ran out barefoot into the snow while he searched for her. She hid in the bushes behind a neighbor's house and a man who barely spoke English called an ambulance. When she did find sobriety, it looked like what the promises are supposed to look like. A good sponsor. An interior design job. Things starting to make sense. Then a relapse. Now she's coming back. She's working the program again, going to bonfire meetings on the beach, building something small and clean, trying to put God first and figure out the rest from there. TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Send us Fan MailLithium is one of those molecules most people think they understand, until you zoom out. Yes, it's a time-tested medication for bipolar disorder. But at tiny, trace doses, lithium starts to look like something else entirely: a potential micronutrient with outsized influence on mood stability, inflammation, and brain ageing.We walk through why interest in low-dose lithium is rising in the brain health and longevity world, even as human clinical trials are still early. John and I talk about what lithium is chemically, why it's so bioavailable, how it crosses the blood-brain barrier, and why the kidneys matter more at prescription doses than at supplement-scale milligrams. Then we connect the dots on mechanisms people care about most for neuroprotection: GSK-3 inhibition, support for BDNF, a tilt toward calming inhibitory signalling (GABA), better balance in serotonin pathways, and less glutamate-driven mitochondrial stress.We also wrestle with the bigger public health angle: what happens when we treat chronic disease as “too much of everything” and ignore deficiency and nourishment. Soil mineral depletion, variable food mineral content, and strong population associations with lithium in drinking water (including mental health measures and Alzheimer's mortality) make this a conversation worth having, carefully and objectively.For slides and open-source references: www.thehealthedgepodcast.comIf this sparks questions for you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized energy storage, but inexpensive, truly long-duration batteries may still have a significant role to play in backing renewables and decarbonizing the grid. Form Energy is tackling that challenge with a new class of iron-air batteries. By oxidizing and reducing iron — essentially rusting and unrusting the earth's most abundant metal — Form is creating low-cost, multi-day storage that competes directly with natural gas peaker plants. Mateo Jaramillo, CEO and co-founder of Form Energy, has spent over two decades in the battery industry, including building Tesla's storage business. At Form, he's leading the charge to bring these "E-peakers" to utilities across the country. The company recently achieved a major milestone: completing a 550,000 square-foot factory on the site of an old steel mill in Weirton, West Virginia. In this episode, Mateo talks with host Lara Pierpoint about the grueling realities of scaling up manufacturing, why they chose to build in West Virginia, using AI to drive material science discovery and dig a data moat, and the immense logistical challenges of building the physical infrastructure of the clean energy transition.

A listener asked about power systems, so Jimmy and Tyler break down every option: dual battery AGM, single and dual lithium, power stations, and the hybrid setups that combine them. Covers why lead acid batteries don’t belong in an off-road vehicle, why AGM never delivers its full rated capacity, why lithium gets you roughly double the usable power in the same size battery, and where AGM still wins (cold weather, sustained winching). Plus a breakdown of power station tech, and a $5,000 RedArc system that converts between a vehicle dual-battery setup and a portable power station, and a cautionary tale about frying a 40-amp alternator at a Jeepers Jamboree airdown.

He carried two copies of ApoE4, the highest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, went through medical school knowing exactly what his LDL of 700 meant, decided the experts were wrong, and then published the case report to prove it. In this episode, Louisa sits down with Dr. Nick Norwitz, PhD researcher and metabolic scientist, for one of the most scientifically dense conversations on brain health, cholesterol biology, and Alzheimer's prevention ever recorded on this show. They cover why the phospholipid form of DHA reaches the brain more effectively than standard fish oil, how ApoE4 carriers burn through omega-3s differently and what to do about it, the lithium orotate data that sold out supplement shelves worldwide, and why GSK-3 beta, the enzyme that phosphorylates tau, may be the most under appreciated target in Alzheimer's research today. Then Dr. Nick Norwitz lays out the case that challenges the "LDL is always the enemy" consensus: why metabolically healthy individuals may not benefit from aggressive lipid-lowering therapy, what his viral coronary CT angiogram showed after seven years of 700+ cholesterol, why the EZPAVE trial headlines don't hold up under scrutiny, and what GLP-1s are doing inside the brain completely independent of weight loss. You'll also hear about the sardine diet experiment, the omega-3 thermogenesis connection, ketones as misfolded protein clearance agents, creatine for depression, retatrutide and PCSK9, BPC-157 risks, and what Dr. Nick Norwitz believes is coming in Alzheimer's gene therapy within the next decade. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+:*https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. _____ *TOPICS DISCUSSED*(00:00:00) Intro: The ApoE4 Paradox and the Case Report That Broke the Internet (00:00:57) Why Standard Omega-3 Supplements Fail and What to Take Instead (00:05:13) DHA and the Phospholipid Carrier: How It Crosses the Blood-Brain Barrier (00:10:19) ApoE4 Explained: Risk, Genetics, and Why Nick Is Optimistic (00:17:38) Why ApoE4 Carriers Burn Through DHA Faster and Need More (00:20:31) Women, Omega-3s, Menopause, and Brain Insulin Resistance (00:21:41) Statins, Sex Differences, and the DHA-Blood Sugar Connection (00:26:01) Statins and Dementia: What the Data Actually Say (00:32:24) Tau, GSK-3 Beta, Lithium Orotate, and Targeting Alzheimer's Pathology (00:42:19) The Glymphatic System, 40Hz Devices, and Sleep as Brain Clearance (00:45:21) Gene Editing, Prime Editing, and the Future of ApoE4 Therapy (00:49:33) Nick's Case Report: 700 LDL, Zero Plaque, and Seven Years of Data (00:55:10) The EZPAVE Trial: Why the Headlines Don't Hold Up (01:00:33) KetoneIQ: Ketones for Brain Energy and Focus (01:01:29) Cheers Health: Supporting Liver Function and Cognitive Recovery (01:03:54) If Not LDL, What Causes Heart Disease in Metabolically Healthy People?

How to Reverse Cognitive Decline, Grow Your Hippocampus, and Protect Your Brain from Alzheimer's Disease with Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep, and Stress Reduction Your brain is physically shrinking right now, and most people have no idea it's happening. In this episode, you will discover the exact mechanisms behind cognitive decline, why brain fog is always treatable, and the proven strategies to grow your brain back, protect your memory, and slash your Alzheimer's risk regardless of your genetics. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a neuroscientist and neurologist who earned his PhD from Johns Hopkins University and his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. He currently serves as an adjunct professor at the Mind/Brain Institute at Johns Hopkins while also teaching at George Washington University and Harvard Medical School. With 37 years of experience in clinical practice, teaching, and neuroscience research, Dr. Fotuhi pioneered the Brain Fitness Program, a multidisciplinary approach to cognitive performance and brain vitality at any age that has produced measurable results documented in peer-reviewed journals. He is the author of three books including the bestselling The Invincible Brain and one of the world's leading experts on neuroplasticity, hippocampus growth, and successful aging. If anyone has earned the right to tell you your brain can get better, it is him. Dr. Fotuhi and Dave break down why Alzheimer's is not a single disease but a soup of modifiable problems, why your lab results can show "normal" while your brain is starving, and how the five pillars of brain health connect directly to longevity, mitochondria function, and human performance. They also get into the brain effects of GLP-1s, the therapeutic promise of psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine, the role of nootropics and supplements like B12, lithium orotate, and CoQ10, and why your VO2 max may be the single most important number for brain aging. . You'll Learn: Why 97% of Alzheimer's cases involve multiple modifiable causes and what to do about each one How to physically grow your hippocampus through exercise, meditation, and nutrition Why "normal" lab ranges are actively harming millions of people and what optimal actually looks like The 7 everyday things that are shrinking your brain right now How stress, loneliness, and isolation cause measurable brain atrophy Which supplements including B12, lithium orotate, CoQ10, and nootropics support long-term brain health Why VO2 max predicts brain aging better than almost any other marker What psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine actually do to your brain according to a Johns Hopkins neurologist How the APOE4 gene affects Alzheimer's risk and why exercise can erase that risk entirely Why mitochondria health is the foundation of both brain function and longevity Thank you to our sponsors! - Viome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.
