Smart Money in the #Lithium Sector Betting on Future Global Demand; (NYSE: $ALB) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTCQX: $STLHF) (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (TSX: $NMX.TO) (OTC: $NMKEF)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – February 27, 2019 -Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering AI and lithium stocks issues the first article in a two-part series looking at the increased global demand for lithium and how smart money is betting on its long-term growth.

Leading the bullish sentiment is the world’s largest producer of lithium, Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB), reporting fourth quarter results on February 20th, with a headline of ‘ALBEMARLE ENDS 2018 STRONG; PROJECTING CONTINUED GROWTH IN 2019’.

Fourth quarter net sales were $921.7 million, an increase of 7% over the prior year; earnings were $129.6 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, an increase of 162% over the prior year. Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $264.3 million, an increase of 8% over the prior year; adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.53, an increase of 14% over the prior year.

The long term investment potential of lithium is not being missed by Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSXV: SLL.V) (OTCQX:STLHF), a specialty chemical company focused on unlocking the value of existing large-scale US based lithium-brine resources, who recently announced it has entered into a funding equity agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., for gross proceeds of $10,500,000 (CAD).

The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used by the Company for advancing its existing asset portfolio and for general working capital purposes. The Company's flagship project is located in southern Arkansas, where it is engaged in the testing and proving of the commercial viability of lithium extraction from over 150,000 acres of permitted brine operations utilizing the Company's proprietary selective extraction technology based on AI (artificial intelligence) technology.

Looking at the outlook for the sector, Zacks Research reported following Albemarle’s fourth quarter numbers, with the headline ‘Lithium ETF at One-Month High: Here's Why’, “Such upbeat guidance and facts boosted investors’ confidence about lithium demand. Albemarle’s results acted as a cornerstone for the industry. Shares of other key lithium producers also gained on Feb 22.”

Albermarle is part of the top 10 holdings of the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF, a fund that invests in the full lithium cycle, from mining and refining the metal, through battery production. Other companies in their top ten include FMC Corp., LG Chem Ltd., Byd Co., Samsung, GS Yuasa Corp., Enersys, Panasonic and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA).

Looking at supply and demand, Tesla says, “To ramp production to 500,000 cars per year, Tesla alone will require today’s entire worldwide supply of lithium-ion batteries.”

So, Tesla bet big money and in 2014 began construction on the Tesla Gigafactory to supply enough batteries to support Tesla’s projected vehicle demand.

BYD Company Limited, the Chinese leader in the EV game is following suit, albeit a few years later, and just announced it has broken ground on a new 20 GWh battery gigafactory for electric cars, investing $1.49 billion USD in the facility.

The lithium market has not been without its setbacks though, as Nemaska Lithium Inc. (TSX: NMX.TO) (OTC: NMKEF) recently announced that it has terminated its multi-year supply agreement with Livent Corporation. The Supply Agreement pertains to the provision of up to 8,000 tonnes per year (28,000 tonnes in total during the term of the contract) of lithium carbonate starting April 1, 2019.

While some see this a major issue, one news article stated that,  “Growing evidence points toward a supply-side which will continue to struggle to deliver as Nemaska Lithium Inc. move to terminate a multi-year agreement to provide lithium carbonate to Livent Corp. The deal with Livent, spun out of major US lithium producer FMC Corp., saw Nemaska provide up to 8,000 tpa of lithium carbonate starting in April 2019. However these examples only serve to highlight supply instabilities across an infant industry.”

Looking at the recent volatility in the sector, while seeing a bullish future, Metalbulletin.com reported, “While the supply side is weighing on sentiment, the demand side of the equation remains extremely bullish - and increasingly so.”

Demand for lithium is without question on the rise in the near and far reaching future, and while the industry has suffered minor blips and supply instabilities, smart money is betting on a bullish future for lithium and the stocks in the sector, with a leader Albemarle and juniors like Standard Lithium doubling down on what is looking like a sure thing.

Charging Ahead with #EV Growth Beyond Cars; #Lithium-ion Batteries will Continue to Dominate; (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (NYSE: $ALB) (CSE: $TOP.C) (OTCQB: $ENRT) (NYSE: $SU)

Charging Ahead with #EV Growth Beyond Cars; #Lithium-ion Batteries will Continue to Dominate; (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (NYSE: $ALB) (CSE: $TOP.C) (OTCQB: $ENRT) (NYSE: $SU)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – February 26, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering lithium and cleantech stocks issues a snapshot looking at how the EV market is on an exponential growth curve, fuelled by both policy and consumer demand.

“China is charging full speed ahead into electric vehicles, on track to sell over 2 million electric vehicles this year, from 1.1 million in 2018”, says Cleantechnia.

IDTechEX says the demand for EV trucks and buses has only just started, especially in China. Lithium-ion batteries will continue to dominate according to the report. “In a series of waves, the storage demand is powering upwards to over $200 billion in 2029 with buses and delivery vans already well into electrification.”

When discussing EV’s and lithium demand, one company “driving” the conversation is Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA). Tesla has been on an upward push the last two years; for the three months ended September 30th, 2018 vs September 30th, 2017 Tesla reported revenue of $6.8MM vs $2.9MM, up 128.65%, with the estimated EPS forecast for the next fiscal year being $6.13 and is expected to report on January 29th, 2020.

The success of Tesla has allowed lithium extractors and producers to ride the same wave of success, but will there be enough lithium fast enough to meet market demands, and if so which company will take the lead?

Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) reported very positive results just last week for Q4 and the 2018 financial year. Fourth quarter net sales were $921.7 million, an increase of 7% over the prior year; earnings were $129.6 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, an increase of 162% over the prior year.

"2018 was a successful year for Albemarle on many fronts. Excluding divested businesses, we delivered full year, total company adjusted EBITDA growth of 17%, adjusted diluted EPS growth of 23% and we finished the year strong as all of our reportable segments delivered growth in the fourth quarter. In addition, we returned significant value to shareholders through increased dividends of $145 million and $500 million in share repurchases, while continuing significant growth investment in our Lithium platform," said Luke Kissam, Albemarle's CEO. "Lithium contributed just over 50% of our adjusted EBITDA, driven by 10% volume growth and 9% pricing compared to 2017."

Less than 1.5 miles from Albemarle’s Silver Peak Project, Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB: ENRT) (CSE: TOP) recently announced an update on their synthetic solution testing.

Since Fall 2018, Enertopia has been running tests to recover lithium in the most cost-effective manner from synthetic brine solutions produced by leaching surface, lithium bearing claystones.  To date, 32 solution tests have been run to create a database that forms the building block for upcoming solution tests.

Their 3^rd phase of solution testing is expected to be in full swing by early March 2019 and will use drill core material from the diamond drill holes from their recently completed drilling program and will consist of 49 different sample intervals covering 397 feet of core.

Pre-pH adjustments have demonstrated positive outcomes as contaminant minerals are greatly reduced allowing for a cleaner synthetic lithium brine to be processed using off the shelf technologies and variants developed by Entertopia. 

The company's technical advisors believe the positive testing to date may warrant patent protection and thus the Company is keeping all internal data strictly confidential at this time. The Company has signed several NDA’s with industry partners as it works to reaching its goal of a low capex solution to battery grade lithium production.

“With our positive drill program completed, our focus and energy can turn to our solution testing of the drilled lithium horizons. We continue to strive for a low-cost mining and processing solution to unlock the potential value of the Lithium enriched claystones,” stated CEO, Robert McAllister.

Big and small investors are taking note of the traction the lithium market is gaining, including Warren Buffet and Berkshire  Hathaway who recently disclosed a 0.7% stake on February 14th into Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE: SU) . And why?  It fits into his EV strategy; one he started years ago with BYD, that has grown to become China’s biggest sellers of EV’s.  

Suncor just announced that Petro-Canada, a Suncor business, is building a network of electric vehicle (EV) fast charging stations across the country. “With more than 1,800 retail and wholesale locations across the country we have the network in place to build Canada’s first electric highway, providing coast-to-coast EV charging for our customers. We’re also investing in the fastest charging EV technology available today, which will be able to easily upgrade as technology advances.”   

With more positive financial results and improved extraction technology like Enertopia is working on, EV’s and lithium are finally on point to replace the energy technology of the past; oil and gas.

#Mining Stock News: #SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V; NYSE: $SILV) Announces More High-Grade In-Fill & Expansion Drill Results

#Mining Stock News: #SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V; NYSE: $SILV) Announces More High-Grade In-Fill & Expansion Drill Results

·        1.4 Metres at 15,839 gpt AgEq

·        5.1 Metres at 2,174 gpt AgEq

·        6.5 Metres at 1,586 gpt AgEq

Vancouver, British Columbia - February 25, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: SIL.V; NYSE American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: SIL) (NYSE American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to report further Phase III drill results for the Las Chispas Property (the "Property") located in Sonora, Mexico. The 19 reported in-fill and expansion drill holes in this news release were targeting mineralization in the Babicanora Vein, Babicanora Norte ("Babi Norte") Vein, the Babicanora Footwall ("Babi FW") Vein and the Babicanora Hangingwall ("Babi HW") Vein (see attached Figures). While targeting mineralization in the Babi Norte Vein, the Company has discovered a new vein named "Babi Vista", the ninth vein out of 30 veins in the district.

Read this in full and see images at https://www.investorideas.com/CO/SILV/news/2019/02251DrillResults.asp

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, "The Company's in-fill drill program at Babicanora continues to deliver drill intercepts with better than expected widths and grade. These results demonstrate that the two previously announced multi-kilogram per tonne shoots (shoots 43 and 51) now appear to be one continuous shoot ("Shoot 51"). Holes BA19-132 and 133 have also expanded the footprint of the high grade shoot towards the surface. Shoot 51 now has an estimated dimension of 300 metres long by 125 metres high. In-fill drilling targeting the Babicanora Vein also confirmed and expanded high-grade mineralization within the Babi FW and Babi HW veins, while expansion drilling targeting the Babi Norte Vein resulted in the Babi Vista discovery. The Company has now identified five veins averaging 150 metres apart in the Babicanora area, all of which have the potential to be accessible from the ongoing exploration decline. The Company is scheduled to intersect Shoot 51 in H2, 2019 and plans initial development of 800 metres along the strike of the high-grade mineralization in Area 51. This planned decline helps to further de-risk Area 51 with bulk sampling and provides meaningful information for the engineering studies. These new results will be part of the next resource update, which we expect to announce in March, 2019".

The most significant result for this release in is Hole BA18-133 which intersected 1.4 metres (estimated drilled width) grading 64.25 gpt gold (or "Au") and 11,020 gpt silver (or "Ag"), or 15,839 gpt silver equivalent ("AgEq", based on assumptions defined in the table below). Also noteworthy are holes BA18-132, at 5.1 metres grading 11.47 gpt Au and 1,313.8 gpt Ag, or 2,174 gpt AgEq, and BA18-131 at 6.5 metres grading 9.99 gpt Au and 836.7 gpt Ag, or 1,586 gpt AgEq. The following table summarizes the most significant drill intercepts (uncut, undiluted) for this release;

Babi FW Vein In-Fill Drill Intercepts:

Babi HW Vein In-Fill Drill Intercepts:

Babi Norte Vein Expansion Drill Intercepts:

Babi Vista Vein Drill Intercepts:

Note: all numbers are rounded. Based on a cutoff grade of 150 gpt AgEq with 0.5 metre minimum width. Babi FW Vein intercept in hole BA18-122 was noted as part of Babicanora Vein. Babi Vista Vein intercepts BAN18-14, 30, 33 and UBN18-03 were previously reported in various news releases as unknown veins.

*AgEq based on 75 (Ag):1 (Au) calculated using long-term silver and gold prices of US$18.50 per ounce silver and US$1,225 per ounce gold, with average metallurgical recoveries of 86.6% silver and 98.9% gold.

**True width is 80 to 100% of drilled width.

***UB signifies an underground drill hole.

All assays were completed by ALS Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico, and North Vancouver, BC, Canada.

For the Babicanora Vein, Hole BA18-127 was lost downhole and BA18-129, 130, 136 to 138, 140 and 141 are below the Company's cutoff grade of 150 gpt AgEq for Las Chispas. Assay results "cutoff date" for this release was February 8, 2019. The same cutoff date for the upcoming resource estimate. Assay results for hole BA18-135 will be reported in due course as they were not received before cutoff date. For the Babi Norte Vein, holes BAN18-41, 42, 44 to 49, 52, and 55 are below the Company's cutoff grade of 150 gpt AgEq.

In-fill and expansion drill results for Babi FW Vein and Babi HW Vein show confirmation and expansion of previously announced high-grade footprints (see attached Figures and news release dated January 9, 2019). Drill results for the Babi FW Vein have increased the high-grade mineralized footprint (discrete zones) from 900 to 1,200 metres. Both Babi FW and Babi HW veins are sub-parallel to the adjacent Babicanora Vein at a distance of 3 to 30 metres. These veins are related to several discrete high-grade zones (shoots) representing intersections of cross-cutting structures similar to all other drill-tested veins in the district.

Expansion drilling on the Babi Norte Vein has increased the high-grade mineralized footprint (discrete zones) from 900 metres to 1.2 kilometres. The "Babi Vista" Vein was previously considered part of Babi Norte; however, with further drilling, Babi Vista has been identified as a separate new vein which may be the extension of the Granaditas Vein or a splay of Babi Norte Vein (see attached Figures). Babi Vista is considered the ninth discovered vein of the known 30 veins in the district.

A total of 58 in-fill and expansion holes have been completed in the Babicanora veins since the September 13, 2018 resource estimate. Since that date, 39 in-fill holes in Area 51 high-grade footprint show an estimated weighted average (true width, uncut, undiluted) of 3.5 metres grading 11.30 gpt Au and 1,093.3 gpt Ag, or 1,941 gpt AgEq. For comparison, in the September 13, 2018 resource estimate, Area 51 had an estimated weighted average true width of 2.7 metres, grading 7.13 gpt Au and 614 gpt Ag, or 1,148 gpt AgEq.

The Company continues its Phase III exploration program with 12 drills operating on site. Drills are focused on expanding mineralization and improving the resource confidence through in-fill drilling (25 to 35 metre spacing) to reclassify Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated. The assay cutoff date for the imminent resource update was February 8, 2019. The upcoming resource update for the Las Chispas Project is being prepared by Tetra Tech Canada Inc. ("Tetra Tech"). For the upcoming resource, Tetra Tech intends to apply a minimum vein width of 0.5 metres to the veins in the Babicanora area for modelling, a decrease from a minimum width of 1.5 metres used in the September 2018 Resource Estimate. An additional 40,000 to 50,000 metres of infill and expansion drilling are planned for H1, 2019. Other ongoing site work includes the PEA study expected in early Q2, ground breaking for the Area 51 decline, an extensive metallurgical test program, testing large diameter wells for site water, and permitting for various additional work.
