Geothermal brines – a byproduct of clean, geothermal power – have become a proven, sustainable resource of critical materials, including lithium. Direct lithium extraction from geothermal brines provides an opportunity to manufacture battery-grade lithium hydroxide from domestic sources in a safe and sustainable way.So ... as Green Lithium have already perfected this method https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/955337/green-lithiumproduces-first-battery-grade-lithium-using-its-sulphate-free-and-acid-free-process-955337.htmlGreen Lithium said it has produced its first battery-grade lithium hydroxide product, validating its sulphate-free and acid-free industry-leading process that provides an alternative to the traditional, more environmentally damaging method of extracting lithium.The company plans to build and operate a large-scale lithium refinery in the UK that can manufacture batteries for more than a million electric vehicles a year using its technology.The battery-grade product was produced from commercial samples provided by three international suppliers of spodumene concentrate. "Drawing from three separate and distinct samples, we were able to manufacture high quality lithium through a dramatically more environmentally friendly process than is deployed at present in refineries in East Asia," said Green Lithium founding director Richard Taylor."That's a landmark moment for us and for the future of electric vehicle production."

Cel - good share https://greenlithium.co.uk/about-green-lithium/peopleJust looking at the background if the Green Lithium board Co founder Guy Hatcher is an interesting read'11 years of experience building deep mineralogy, mining and lithium technical experience including at Barrick Gold and Rio Tinto, and recently evaluating prospective lithium mining sites in the UK. Sits as a member of the BSI's Committee for Lithium.'

nice one Cel, thanx for sharing, Cheers Wan :-)

you all are mostly about lithium which is elephant in the room. but imho it is as real as it says: elephant in the room atm

I am much more concerned about what they are doing every day in their core business - nothing much it looks like (I do not think so). would be good if they report what they are actually trying to do - otherwise one could conclude they are drilling their noses.

what is performance of their more down to the earth, more mature investments, which warrants do get exercised and when (not many lately ( - a BIG why not ??? - no cash ?? - would they take on any debt?)

etc

it is not just a one way bet with lithium. we need more legs - are they developing them?

Just on BBC breakfast now ....

Today the Business Secretary Grant Shapps is visiting Teesside to announce the UK’s first large-scale merchant lithium refinery, providing battery grade materials for use in the electric vehicle, renewable energy and consumer technology supply chains.

Nice buy turns it blue.

A few more nibbles, r we due an update on future biogas and fast2fibre as well ?

[still waiting] 02/11/2022 08:28

BV could have already been producing if they had just grown into the demand and scaled, odd.

[tomboyb] 01/11/2022 08:46

excellent news even if it is temp -

UK battery firm Britishvolt averts collapse as funding secured...

Cheers
Wan :-)

[wanobi] 31/10/2022 16:29

thanx Cel, agree, that's my take on it too :-) GLA LTH's Cheers Wan :-)

[gepetto100] 31/10/2022 16:07

I'm not selling either we've got a share in WL and whoever builds the factory will need that commodity I'm adding all the time on that basis

[celeritas] 31/10/2022 16:07

Weardale has no links established with British Volt which is located in Northumberland... Weardales mou is with Alkemy Capital Investments, Tees Valley Lithium which is located in Teesside... British Volts site is likely to be taken over by another battery manufacturer.... The Nissan battery factory is actually closer..


The LHM facility will process feedstock imported from various sources to produce 96,000 tonnes of a premium, low-carbon lithium hydroxide annually, representing around 15% of Europe’s projected demand.

Weardales lithium will be exported across Europe..

I guess some will panic on this BV news and sell MAC,, but, I'm not thinking this should be a big problem for us longer term,,, happy to be corrected if I've missed something here, thanx Cheers Wan :-)

[tomboyb] 31/10/2022 14:16

On that understanding, I would be very surprised to see the company survive, in this form anyway -

This is a disaster for the UK, manufacturing etc -

They can't even get it started -

[tomboyb] 31/10/2022 14:12

Britishvolt could fall into administration as soon as Monday after the government withdrew a promised £100m in funding from the battery firm.

The start-up wanted to build a factory in Northumberland to produce batteries for electric vehicles.

But the BBC understands the funding was cut after ministers learned it would be >used to help the firm to stay afloat, rather than to build the factory.

[wanobi] 31/10/2022 14:03

“The project is the first of its kind in the UK, the biggest in Europe and will when completed be a key supplier to UK and European giga factories, electrical vehicle and battery storage industries."

guess our lithium will end up going to other giga factories!!!

both MAC & ALK up on the BV news, no!??

Cheers
Wan :-)

Also just heard it on BBC radio news. Where does that leave us?

[tomboyb] 31/10/2022 11:20

From the FT -

This is a huge shame, honestly -

[coley15] 31/10/2022 11:14

That's not a great read

[tomboyb] 31/10/2022 11:04

Anyone readup on British volt today? -



Find it difficult to believe -
