Hi Everyone.
I was recently in Hong Kong and met Dr Bubb. After talking for sometime He invited Me to post in GEI about Australian Lithium Mining companies.see attachment.

My background in Lithium is that I have been investing in the Australian Stock Market Lithium companies for the last two years.
I have invested in AGY,AJM,DKO,GXY,KDR,LRS and PLS. Im currently only invested in LRS.

I dont claim to be a Lithium Investment guru. However I will provide links to people with specific Lithium knowledge.

I will be posting about the companies that Ive invested in and information links to the other companies and relevance of Lithium as an investment.

Looking forward to other posters and discussions in this topic.

Kelvin Corbett.

 

============

 

(In edit: Message from DrBubb):

 

I much appreciate this new thread, and the opportunity to communicate with KC through the GEI website.

For those interested in the situation for international Lithium-related stocks, there is another thread you may also want to visit.

There are some charts there, for stocks like LIT (the Lithium sector etf), and SQM, etc.:

In the posts below, I will add some charts on the Australian stocks, which can be updated with a click, like this one:

(Btw, this chart shows that there is likely to be strong resistance at $26. It will be interesting to see if many of the stocks

in the Lithium sector encounter strong resistance at the same time.)

We have just discussed the BMI Lithium Index showing that lithium prices are strengthening again. Now you know why it is happening. BMI Lithium Index is weighted by volumes of Lithium Carbonate and Lithium Hydroxide and gives you the real picture of the supply chain for high-tech applications like batteries. Lithium Hydroxide is used to make cells for the lithium batteries like Tesla is using made by Panasonic now. International Lithium's Strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium supplies Panasonic and BYD among many other battery makers in the Electric Car space. Now you have the picture ...

BYD backed by Warren Buffet is solidly in the lead in the lithium race in China this year. All in all new record of 43,441 electric cars sold in China in November must be put in the perspective. It took GM 7 years to sell 100,000 Chevy Volts from 2009! Two BYD electric cars are leading the sales in China: BYD Tang with 29,895 and BYD Qin with 21,047 units sold respectively. BYD has 4 of its EVs among the top-selling electric cars in China with BYD e6 18,077 and BY e5 13,219 sold by the end of November. And now we can see what I was talking all this year about. China is the Centre of the Lithium Universe now. BYD already sold 92,375 electric cars by December 2016! What took GM 7 years, will be done by BYD in China in just 1 year.


We also have a very healthy new dynamic in China EVs sales now: Zotye Cloud EV is taking the first place in sales in November with 5,024 units, followed by Geely Emgrand / Dorsett EV with 3,799. Actually, BYD is not among top 5 best selling electric cars in China in November at all. We have the emerging competition in the EV space when the quality and price metrics will be driving the coming tide. The Switch will happen so much faster than anybody is expecting now. There are 25 companies in China which are making 51 models of electric cars in China now. EV sales in China are going exponential now: up 36% from the last October and 56% year over year, pulling the plug-in market share to a record 1.4%, above the Europe (1.2%) and U.S. (1.1%).


Now you can better understand what is coming next: China is pushing for Zero Emissions Mandates with EVs reaching 8% of all new cars sales by 2018 and 12% by 2020! The Chinese electric cars market is the largest in the world now and will reach over 350,000 new electric cars in 2016 with total fleet of 650,000 estimated by the year end (The whole world had just 1.3 million on the roads in early 2016), it will be followed by Europe with 630,000 and by the U.S with 560,000. It is very important to note that we are talking here only about electric cars. To be precise EVs include electric buses and other utility vehicles like trucks. We are getting very close to my magic 1 million EVs sold just in 2016 and 2 million units in EV fleet on the world's roads. This is what I call The Switch: last 12 months we have almost doubled the amount of EVs in the world. It took us all our history to make first million of electric cars before 2015 and only 12 months to double that amount now. Read more.




Electric rEVolution: BMI Lithium Price Index In December Shows Prices Strengthening.




"I will throw a few numbers just to give you a teaser here. The rest is on this blog for those who are ready to learn. The cost of Lithium in your iPhone is $1 dollar, in Tesla's Lithium battery cost of Lithium is 2-3% in the price of the finished product. We are in a generational shift 2 to 7,000: 2 is the number of the batteries in your father's remote control, more than 7,000 is the number of lithium batteries in Tesla Model S. It takes 63 kg of LCE (Lithium Carbonate Equivalent) to build Tesla Model S 70 kWh battery. Every 1% increase in sales of Electric Cars as part of total auto sales brings new demand for 70,000 t of LCE. Total production last year was 160,000 -180,000 t of LCE. During all our humankind history 1,000,000 EVs were sold before 2015. This year alone we can get 1,000,000 electric cars sold. Worldwide we are still close only to 1% of Electric cars in total auto sales. BYD - EV auto

Argentina, South America.
In late April, Orocobre reported a maiden resource at Olaroz of 350 million kilolitres of brine at 800 g/kL Li and 6,600 g/kL K, equivalent to 1.5 Mt of lithium carbonate and 4.4 Mt of potassium chloride. Then in early May, the company advised that it had completed a scoping study over the project. The study revealed potential to develop a long life operation with production of 15,000 tpa lithium carbonate and 36,000 tpa potash. The resource base had potential to support future expansions and there was further exploration potential beneath the current resource. Testing resulted in attractive lithium and potassium grades and low magnesium. Capital costs were in the range of US$80 - 100 million with low cash operating costs. The completion of a BFS had also been factored in and was estimated to costs US$2 million and be completed by mid-2010. The company had committed to completion of the BFS.

Hi Corbee,

 

Thanks for starting this thread.

I'm not sure that this is the right section, since it may not get notice much here.

 

I am going to migrate it to the Mining Stock section, leaving a link here, and in the Trading section.

And then I will come back an look at some charts....

I will add them above - please be patient as I do some editing

 

I happily acknowledge your expertise in this area, and hope that many GEI readers will have a look and post here (eventually)

 

> for Global Lithium stocks, see also: The Lithium Thread (etf: LIT)

 

As for joining GEI to post here, newcomers can do that here (see post#2): DrB Diary - 2015 LANDING Page / & J0IN GEI

 

 

P.S.

I have not yet invested in Australian Lithium stocks.

But have some small experience with Canadian quoted juniors, like ILC.v (International Lithium Corp), which was then controlled by Kiril Klip

but I am not invested at the present time. The ILC chart is looking interesting, as it tests long term support.

 

This one looks pretty interesting - you own it, right?

What's the fundamental story here?
