Interview with Francis Macdonald, Director & CEO of Li-FT Power Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/li-ft-power-tsxvlift-pioneering-lithium-exploration-in-canadas-yellowknife-region-5667Recording date: 8th August 2025Li FT Power (TSXV: LIFT) is taking an aggressive contrarian approach during the lithium market downturn, investing heavily in development activities while competitors have retreated or ceased operations. CEO Francis MacDonald has positioned the company for the anticipated market recovery through strategic leadership additions and substantial capital commitments.The appointment of Anthony Peter Tse as chairman represents a significant strategic evolution. Tse's background as former CEO of Galaxy Resources, which transformed into Arcadium before being acquired by Rio Tinto for $6.7 billion, brings extensive lithium industry networks and operational expertise. "His background in lithium is pretty extensive and having operated a spodumene mine and also been involved in the downstream refining and conversion part of it," MacDonald noted.Li FT Power is committing $7 million toward environmental baseline studies for its Yellowknife lithium project, a substantial investment for an exploration-stage company. This strategic decision addresses Canada's primary mining bottleneck - the permitting process, which requires two years of baseline data before environmental assessment can begin. The company aims to position itself "at the front of the line" when market conditions improve.The Yellowknife project hosts a resource exceeding 50 million tons and features potential processing advantages through Dense Media Separation technology. This gravity-based approach leverages the density difference between spodumene and waste rock, potentially reducing operating costs compared to conventional flotation processing.MacDonald remains optimistic about lithium fundamentals, citing 30% growth in electric vehicle sales and 60% growth in battery storage applications, driving overall lithium demand growth of approximately 20% annually. Recent lithium price increases of 30% from multi-year lows suggest the prolonged downturn may be ending.Li FT Power's downstream integration opportunities around Edmonton, Alberta, offer additional value creation potential, taking advantage of existing chemical infrastructure and competitive operating costs in the region.View Li-FT Power's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/li-ft-power-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

On this week's episode of The Common Sense MD, Dr. Tom Rogers dives into the fascinating world of lithium as an anti-aging supplement. Many know lithium as a treatment for bipolar disorder, but Dr. Rogers explores a different form—lithium orotate—and its potential benefits for neuroprotection, mitochondrial function, and longevity. Drawing on historical context and his personal experience at age 70, Dr. Rogers explains why he takes lithium orotate, how it differs from pharmaceutical lithium, and why low, over-the-counter doses may offer mood-stabilizing and anti-aging effects with minimal risk. He shares insights from longevity voices like Bryan Johnson and Peter Attia, and offers his practical approach to supplement regimens for a healthier, longer life.Tune in to learn more about this misunderstood mineral, tips on navigating the supplement world as you age, and why common sense should guide your health decisions. As always, Dr. Rogers reminds listeners to do their own research and consult a healthcare provider before starting new supplements.Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and not intended as medical advice.

What if one of the brain's most important defenses was hiding in plain sight? In this episode, we take a look at lithium, a trace element found in water, food, and the brain itself. Long before brain scans, people made pilgrimages to lithium-rich springs, swearing the waters restored their health. A century later, it became a psychiatric drug. But new research from Harvard Medical School has uncovered something unique: lithium is a master regulator in the brain, and one of the earliest changes in Alzheimer's disease is that it disappears. We follow the evidence from historical clues to modern lab discoveries, revealing how amyloid plaques trap lithium, how that loss accelerates neurodegeneration, and how restoring it at nutritional doses could help preserve memory (without the risks of high-dose therapy).00:00 Introduction: The Mystery of Aging and Dementia00:42 The History and Discovery of Lithium01:31 Lithium's Role in Mental Health01:53 Lithium and Cognitive Decline03:18 Harvard's Breakthrough Research05:01 Mechanisms of Lithium in the Brain07:34 Clinical Studies and Trials09:13 Nutritional Lithium: Dosage and Sources11:22 Conclusion: implying the brain is exquisitely sensitive to Li levels.PMID: 40770094PMID: 17401045PMID: 20148870PMID: 18981345PMID: 39212809PMID: 22746245PMID: 30066063Support the show

Markets started the week lower after major indices rallied last week. Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD Inc. (AMD) saw slight losses following reports stating the U.S. government will take 15% of both companies' Chinese chip revenue. However, lithium companies like Albemarle (ALB) rallied after a Chinese competitor was forced to close one of its lithium mines. Bitcoin also jumped higher, propelling crypto-tied stocks like Strategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN) higher.

Britney Spears' 13-year conservatorship was an arrangement so strict and unfeeling that it left her without any control of her career, loopy on lithium, and completely silenced for the sake of seeing her sons and boyfriend. As Britney suffered in silence, she worked nearly non-stop, generating more hits — and revenue — so her father could claim his cut of the profits. But after hundreds of shows in Las Vegas and $137 million in box office sales, Britney buckled and told her conservators “no.” Then her social media went radio silent in 2019. This is the story of what came next — and how Britney Spears finally broke free.  For the full list of contributors, visit ⁠disgracelandpod.com⁠ This episode was originally published on July 26, 2022.

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menegaskan tetap melakukan eksplorasi untuk menemukan cadangan lithium di dalam negeri, salah satunya di Bledug Kuwu, Grobogan, Jawa Tengah. Di saat bersamaan, pemerintah juga mewacanakan impor lithium dari Australia untuk memperkuat ekosistem industri baterai nasional. Selama ini, Indonesia baru memiliki bahan baku baterai berupa kobalt, nikel, dan mangan, namun belum memiliki pasokan lithium yang memadai. Wacana impor dari Negeri Kangguru dinilai dapat menekan biaya logistik dibanding impor dari Afrika, meski rencana ini masih dalam tahap kajian.Bagaimana mencermati hal ini?Narasumber : Wakil Ketua Komisi XII DPR RI Sugeng Suparwoto

The mechanisms behind Alzheimer's disease have eluded scientists for decades. But a new breakthrough points to lithium as a possible explanation—not only does it occur naturally in the brain, but a deficiency causes dementia in mice. This research is one of thousands of projects that have lost funding due to President Trump's cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Host Ira Flatow speaks with Alzheimer's researcher Bruce Yankner about this new finding, and then to epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina and immunologist Elisabeth Marnik about the country's “quiet engine of science,” the NIH.Guests: Dr. Bruce Yankner is professor of genetics and neurology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, epidemiologist and author of the Your Local Epidemiologist newsletter. She's based in San Diego.Dr. Elisabeth Marnik is an immunologist and Director of Science Education & Outreach at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

When it comes to climate change and the environment, they are part of  the problem and part of the solution – Plastics and Lithium-ion. We cannot ignore the role these materials play in today's world. They have revolutionized many industries even while they have been the cause of negative ecological and social impacts. Mainly because their end-of-life management remains a significant global challenge. Is it possible to bring them into the circular economy in positive and equitable ways? This discussion is with three innovative companies that not just think so, they also walk the talk. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience. Presented by: OORJA In this episode of BIC Talks, Srinidhi Kashyap, Vishal Mehta and Darshan Virupaksh  will be in conversation with Jenny Pinto.

In this episode of the Incident Prevention Utility Safety Podcast, host Kate Wade sits down with Jennifer LeFevre, Executive Director of the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI), to explore how everyday decisions at work and at home can impact electrical safety. Jennifer shares insights into the mission of ESFI, the dangers of lithium-ion batteries, how utilities can access free safety resources, and why public education is critical to preventing electrical fires, injuries, and fatalities. Whether you're a utility safety professional or simply want to protect your family, this episode is full of actionable advice that could save a life. Key Takeaways: Electrical safety starts at home—complacency off the job can be just as dangerous as on it. Lithium-ion batteries require proper handling, charging, and disposal to prevent fires. ESFI offers free infographics and video shorts utilities can use to educate customers. Public education is prevention—sharing small safety habits can make a big impact. After disasters, generators and downed lines present serious electrical hazards that people often overlook. Q&As summary: Q1: Why should utility professionals care about electrical safety in the home? A: Utility workers are trained to prioritize safety on the job, but Jennifer LeFevre reminds us that hazards exist at home too. Everyday items—like extension cords, electric blankets, or ladders near power lines—can cause serious incidents if not used safely. Translating workplace safety habits into the home can protect your loved ones.   Q2: What resources does ESFI offer to support electrical safety outreach? A: ESFI provides free downloadable resources including infographics, short-form educational videos, and seasonal safety newsletters. These are designed for easy integration into utility newsletters, community outreach, and employee training programs.   Get in touch with Jennifer - Jennifer.LeFevre@esfi.org Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/     #ElectricalSafety #UtilitySafety #SafetyEducation #LithiumIonBatterySafety #HomeAndWorkSafety #InjuryPrevention #ESFI #iP   ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

For decades, fusion energy has been the promise that never arrives—always twenty years away. Despite billions poured into tokamaks, inertial confinement, and plasma reactors, the finish line keeps moving. But what if the answer was never in extreme heat... but in solid metal at room temperature?In this explosive episode, we sit down with NASA researcher Lawrence Forsley to explore lattice confined fusion—a revolutionary approach that produces nuclear fusion inside metal lattices using just five volts. No reactors, no plasma, no fire. It's a direct descendant of the infamous 1989 "cold fusion" press conference by Fleischmann and Pons, which the scientific establishment mocked and buried for decades. But now, the experiments are more precise, the physics more refined, and the implications more profound. Because if fusion at room temperature is real, everything changes—energy, propulsion, even our understanding of stars.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

Interview with Stephen Hanson, President & CEO of Surface Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/acme-lithium-acme-despatches-from-the-lithium-front-line-3054Recording date: 14th July 2025Surface Metals (CSE:SUR), formerly Acme Lithium, has successfully executed a strategic transformation that positions the company for value creation across two critical commodity sectors. Under CEO Stephen Hanson's leadership, the company has pivoted from pure lithium exploration to gold development while maintaining its valuable lithium asset foundation.The strategic shift emerged from pragmatic market realities as lithium prices declined and EV demand slowed over the past 18 months. Rather than abandoning the long-term energy transition thesis, Hanson explained the rationale: "As a board and a management team we started to evaluate our assets and say listen we work for the shareholders. Creating shareholder value is my number one priority."The centerpiece of this transformation is the April 2025 acquisition of 90% of the Cimarron gold project in Nevada's renowned Walker Lane trend. Located just 14 miles from Kinross's Round Mountain mine, the property boasts impressive historical data from major companies including Newmont and Echo Bay. Historical intercepts include 26 meters of nearly 5 grams per ton gold, with surface samples reaching 120 grams per ton.The project benefits from Nevada's world-class mining jurisdiction and favorable geology, featuring a shallow epithermal system with mineralization extending to surface. This configuration offers significant cost advantages and exploration potential beyond the existing 50,000-ounce resource, with targets for expansion to over one million ounces.Surface Metals maintains its lithium portfolio as strategic foundation value, including a 300,000-ton lithium carbonate resource in Clayton Valley and successful partnerships like the Snow Lake Energy joint venture in Manitoba. With holding costs of only tens of thousands annually, the company can maintain these assets through market cycles.Trading at approximately $5 million Canadian market cap, Surface Metals offers investors dual commodity exposure at an attractive entry point. The company plans drilling at Cimarron by early 2026, following systematic database modernization and permitting processes that typically require 90-120 days in Nevada's streamlined regulatory environment.View Surface Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/acme-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Ob Belgrad, Novi Sad oder Niš: Die Bilder, die uns in diesen Tagen aus Serbien erreichen, zeigen friedlichen Protest. Mit ihren Handys verwandeln Zehntausende die nächtlichen Straßen in ein Lichtermeer. Ihre Forderung: Recht und Gesetz sollen für alle Menschen in Serbien gelten - auch für diejenigen, die ganz oben im Staat stehen. Auslöser für die Massenproteste war der Einsturz eines Bahnhofsvordachs in Novi Sad Anfang November. 15 Menschen verloren dabei ihr Leben. Für die Studierenden, die seitdem demonstrieren, ist der Vorfall nicht einfach ein tragisches Unglück, sondern Folge unsachgemäßer Renovierungsarbeiten durch ein chinesisches Unternehmen. Sie kritisieren, dass die serbische Regierung zunächst versucht habe, das Unglück zu vertuschen und Verantwortung abzuweisen. "Korruption tötet", so der Slogan, der auf vielen Plakaten zu lesen ist.Florian Bieber ist Leiter des Zentrums für Südosteuropastudien an der Universität Graz. Er beobachtet die Situation in Serbien sehr genau: Es gehe den Studierenden nicht um einen Umsturz, wie Präsident Aleksandar Vučić behauptet, sondern um Transparenz und um Rechtsstaatlichkeit. "Das sind wirklich die großen Probleme, mit denen Serbien seit über einem Jahrzehnt zu kämpfen hat", sagt Bieber im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit".Längst gehen nicht mehr nur Studierende auf die Straße, sondern auch Anwälte, Ärzte und viele andere Berufsgruppen. Gerade erst haben sie den Rücktritt des serbischen Ministerpräsidenten Miloš Vučević erreicht. Doch der ist für Bieber "kein bedeutendes Schwergewicht in der serbischen Machtkonstellation", sondern eher eine Art Bauernopfer. Dennoch sieht er den Rücktritt als Indiz dafür, "dass sich das Regime im Moment bedroht fühlt".In der neuen Podcast-Folge erklärt der Professor für Geschichte und Politik Südosteuropas, wie das "System Vučić" funktioniert: Zwar liege die Macht formal beim Ministerpräsidenten, doch in der Praxis habe es Vučić geschafft, die wichtigen Institutionen des Landes zu übernehmen. Seine Macht gehe dabei nicht von der Verfassung aus, sondern von der Partei und seiner Person. "Er könnte theoretisch morgen als Präsident zurücktreten und weiterhin die gleiche Macht ausüben", sagt Bieber. Das passe nicht mit dem Status eines EU-Beitrittskandidaten, den Serbien seit zehn Jahren innehat, zusammen, kritisiert Bieber. "Serbien ist im letzten Jahrzehnt sehr viel weniger demokratisch geworden." Stattdessen beobachtet er "größere Missachtung von Menschenrechten und Rechtsstaatlichkeit". Deutschland und die EU müssten sich dagegen stellen - und ihre Prinzipien auch beim Aushandeln wirtschaftlicher Deals verfolgen. Ansonsten sieht Bieber die Gefahr, dass die EU ihre Sympathien bei vielen Menschen in Serbien verspielt.Im Sommer 2024 haben Serbien und die EU einen Lithium-Deal abgeschlossen. Dabei geht es um die Förderung von Lithium im serbischen Jadartal durch den Bergbaukonzern Rio Tinto. Serbien würde gerne die komplette Wertschöpfungskette vom Abbau des Lithiums bis hin zur Produktion von E-Autos im Land konzentrieren. Die EU will das Vorhaben fördern und beim Thema Lithium weniger abhängig von China werden. Für Bieber rutscht die EU jedoch in eine neue Abhängigkeit, der serbische Präsident Aleksandar Vučić ist für ihn "kein zuverlässiger Bündnispartner". Das Lithium-Abkommen "hat der Europäischen Union und Deutschland auf dem Balkan einen Riesen-Schaden zugefügt", konstatiert Bieber. Viele Menschen haben seiner Beobachtung zufolge inzwischen das Gefühl, dass die EU ihre Forderungen nach mehr Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit nicht wirklich unterstütze, sondern stattdessen ihre eigenen Interessen verfolge. "Viele Menschen sagen, die EU ist nicht anders als China, die wollen nur unsere Rohstoffe."Dass die EU auf höhere Umweltauflagen setzt als China, lässt der Südosteuropa-Experte übrigens nicht gelten. Denn für ihn fehlen angemessene Kontrollmechanismen. Schon jetzt würden in vielen Fällen, etwa beim Bau von Fabriken, selbst die serbischen Auflagen nicht eingehalten. "Warum sollte das bei einem Minenprojekt einer multinationalen Firma anders sein?", gibt Bieber zu bedenken.Bei dieser Folge handelt es sich um einen Re-Upload. Die Folge haben wir erstmals am 30.

 In 2024 the Lithium market saw huge price drops related to oversupply, a slowing EV adoption rate globally, as well as macroeconomic headwinds. Is this a pause or a more structural challenge? What is the long-term demand picture? How does geopolitics fit within that? Does technological change threaten the outlook? And in such a volatile market, why is risk management essential? Our guest is Caspar Rawles, Chief Operating Officer at Benchmark, the Independent Price Reporting Agency for Critical Minerals, including Lithium,  which will soon be launching three Lithium futures contracts with the Intercontinental Exchange, ICE. What are those contracts and what do they mean for the sector?

While the U.S., India, and countries in the Persian Gulf are all moving quickly to establish new critical mineral supply chains, the European Union is struggling to follow suit, particularly in Africa. The EU currently lacks a cohesive policy framework that would bolster mining companies, support partner countries, and encourage the development of a mineral processing sector that can lessen Europe's current dependence on China. To do this, the EU should follow China's model in Africa, where it paired extraction with the development of vital infrastructure, according to a new commentary from the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM). The authors, Poorva Karkare and Karim Karaki, join Eric & Géraud from Brussels to explain why the EU should strive for strategic complementarity rather than competition with China in Africa.

In this episode, Trevor Hall takes the host seat of the Power Current podcast to interview Paul Lusty, Head of Battery Raw Materials at Fastmarkets. This conversation delves into the future projections of the lithium market, exploring the dynamics of supply and demand, the role of renewable energy, and the importance of other battery raw materials like cobalt and manganese. The discussion highlights the challenges and opportunities within the industry, emphasizing the need for supply discipline and the impact of external factors on market trends.

Lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) batteries could offer a rare combination in energy storage: high energy density at lower costs. They swap much of the expensive nickel for abundant, affordable manganese. But technical hurdles — like poor cycle life, voltage decay, and long formation time — kept them on the sidelines. Now GM says it's solved these challenges. In May, it announced plans to mass produce LMR batteries starting in 2028. In energy density, the new chemistry would land between the two major alternative chemistries in the U.S., NMC and LFP. So what does this new entrant mean for the U.S. battery market? In this episode, Shayle talks to Kurt Kelty, VP of battery, propulsion, and sustainability — and a 30-year battery industry veteran who led Tesla's battery development for over a decade. Shayle and Kurt cover topics like: What parts of the U.S. battery supply chain to on-shore or near-shore The tradeoffs between LFP, LMR, and high-nickel chemistries The roles that Kurt sees for all three in the market  Shifting production lines and supply chains from NMC to LMR Why LFP may still outcompete LMR in the stationary market Resources: General Motors: Why LMR batteries will change the outlook for the EV market AutomotiveDive: GM, LG Energy target commercializing manganese-rich batteries for EVs  WSJ: An Ex-Tesla Engineer Is Turning EVs Into Affordable Family Cars Catalyst: What happened at Northvolt?

Our Australia Materials Analyst Rahul Anand discusses why critical minerals may be the Achilles' heel of humanoids as demand significantly outpaces supply amid geopolitical uncertainties.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Rahul Anand: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Rahul Anand, Head of Morgan Stanley's Australia Materials Research team.Today, I'll dig deeper into one of the vital necessities for the development of robotics – critical minerals – and why they're so vital to be front of mind for the Western world today. It's Wednesday, June 25th at 8am in Sydney, Australia. Humanoid robots will soon become an integral part of our daily lives. A few weeks ago, you heard my colleagues Adam Jonas and Sheng Zhong discuss how humanoids are going to transform the economy and markets. Morgan Stanley Research expects this market to reach more than a billion units by 2050 and generate almost [$] 5 trillion in annual revenue. When we think about that market, and we think about what it could do for critical minerals demand, that could skyrocket. And the key areas of critical minerals demand would basically be focused on rare earths, lithium and graphite. Each one of these complex machines is going to require about a kilo of rare earths, 2 kgs of lithium, 6.5 kgs kilos of copper, 1.5 kgs of nickel, 3 kgs of graphite, and about 200 grams of cobalt. Importantly, this market from a cumulative standpoint by the year 2050, could be to the tune of about $800 billion U.S., which is staggering.And beyond that market size of $800 billion U.S., I think it's important to drill a bit deeper – because if we now consider how these markets are dominated currently, comes the China angle. And China currently dominates 88 percent of rare earth supply, 93 percent of graphite supply and 75 percent of refined lithium supply. China recently placed controls on seven heavy rare earths and permanent magnet exports in response to tariff announcements that were made by the U.S., and a comprehensive deal there is still awaited. It's very important that we have to think about diversification today, not just because these critical minerals are so heavily dominated by China. But more importantly, if we think about how the supply chain comes about, it's now taking circa 18 years to get a new mine online, and that's the statistic for the past five years of mines that came online. That number is up nearly 50 percent from last decade, and that's been driven basically by very long approval processes now in the Western world, alongside very long exploration times that are required to get some of these mines up and running. On top of that, when we think about the supply demand balance, by 2040 we're expecting that the NdPr, or the rare earth, market would be in a 26 percent deficit. Lithium could be in a deficit close to 80 percent. So, it's not just about supply security. It's also about how long it will take to bring these mines on. And on top of that, how big the amount of supply that's required is really going to be. I know when you think about 2040, it sounds very long dated, but it's important to understand that we have to act now. And in this humanoid piece of research that we have done as the global materials team, which was led by the Australian materials team, we basically have provided 34 global stocks to play this thematic in the rare earths, lithium and rare earth magnet space. It's also very important to remember and keep front of mind that as part of the London negotiations that happened between U.S. and China, no agreement was reached on critical military use rare earth magnets and exports. Now that's an important point because that's going to play as a key point of leverage in any future trade deal that comes about between the two countries. This remains an evolving situation, and this is something that we are going to continue monitoring and will bring you the latest on as time progresses.Look, thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review and share thoughts on the market with a friend or colleague today.

The discovery of a massive amount of lithium under the Salton Sea could make the U.S. lithium independent. The metal is key for batteries in electric vehicles and solar panels. But the area is also a delicate ecosystem. We go to southern California to hear what hangs in the balance of the ballooning lithium industry, and also how we extract other crucial substances  – such as sand, copper and iron– and turn them into semiconductors, circuitry and other products upon which the modern world depends. Guests: Ed Conway – economics and data editor of Sky News and columnist for the Times in London.  He's the author of “Material World, The Six Raw Materials that Shape Modern Civilization“.
