A clever idea to use magnetic nanoparticles to capture valuable materials from brines has blossomed into industrial-scale pilot projects that could help make the U.S. a producer of critical minerals used in electronics and energy production. Most of these minerals are obtained from international sources, many of which are high-conflict regions.

The patent-pending technology, developed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been licensed exclusively by Moselle Technologies, a start-up business that is piloting the technology in several U.S. and international locations.

April/May 2018 Resource World magazine "South America's Lithium Triangle"

With the impending advent of the widespread use of electric cars, trucks plus the millions of rechargeable consumer electronic devices that utilize lithium ion batteries, it is no wonder that numerous exploration companies have turned their attention to the vast Lithium Triangle in Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. It has been estimated that South America’s Lithium Triangle hosts about 54% of the world’s lithium resources.

Electric cars have been stirring up a storm for lithium. Prices of the mineral, which is an essential component of the lithium-ion batteries that power electric cars like Teslas, have been rising to stratospheric heights since October 2015 amid the prospect of widespread mass production of fully electric cars, each requiring some 21.4 kg (47lb) of lithium carbonate equivalent in their batteries. Is the price boom sustainable, or is it a bubble? The answer may be a bit of both.

Here's Where the Juice that Powers Batteries Comes From:
Bloomberg's Ashlee Vance explores lithium mining in Chile's Atacama Desert:

This article was originally published on CNBC.

The automotive industry's focus on electrification has accelerated in 2016.

Volkswagen Chairman Herbert Deiss told CNBC at the Paris Motor Show in November that "electric mobility will take off by 2020," while Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced in May his aim for annual production to be at 1 million vehicles by this same year.

The onus is now on rechargeable batteries – rather than petrol – to propel the automotive industry into its proposed greener future, with lithium ion cells being the prevailing form of this technology.

"Lithium is a pretty abundant element naturally," Jamie Speirs, a fellow in energy analysis and policy at Imperial College London, told CNBC via telephone. But, though worldwide production of the metal is increasing year on year, he detailed that "the current supply chain will not match up with lithium demand by, say, 2040"...

More than 70% of the world’s lithium reserves are concentrated in the lithium triangle—an area that covers North-Western Argentina, Northern Chile, and Southern Bolivia. The lithium largesse is split pretty much evenly between the three, although exact estimates are lacking. Argentina, according to Argentine Mining Secretary Jorge Mayoral, might have resources upwards of 128 million tonnes.

Nevada is a well-known gold & silver mining state. Gold mined in Nevada alone represents 80% of the United States’ total output, and Nevada's storied history in silver led to it being called the "Silver State." Nevada is not only the single best mining jurisdiction the U.S, it's ranked #3 globally by the respected, "Fraser Institute's annual Survey of Mining Countries." In addition to gold & silver, Nevada is making headlines as a center for emerging lithium exploration companies. Elon Musk's Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) chose Nevada for its first giga-factory for good reason. Will Nevada become the, "Lithium State?" It's difficult to know for sure, but it calms me in a mood-stabilizing kind of way to think of it...

Last week, Tesla Motors announced that it had agreed in principle to an off-take agreement with Bacanora Minerals Ltd. (located in Sonora Mexico) and to a lesser extent, its joint venture partner, on a portion of their properties, Rare Earth Min. Since then, Bacanora’s stock is up approximately 40%. At first, I was surprised Bacanora’s stock didn’t soar even higher. It turns out that the off-take agreement has a number of contingencies and no financial commitment from Tesla. In fact, Tesla’s Elon Musk was quoted as saying, “this lithium deal is not exclusive (and) has many contingencies. The press on this matter is unwarranted.” ...

Sentiment in the lithium sector has improved markedly in the past few months. Improving sentiment and higher stock prices among lithium juniors, despite continued devastation in other natural resource sectors, is certainly noteworthy. Lithium is hot and attracting a lot of attention. That's largely without even considering underlying lithium carbonate and hydroxide prices marching higher this year and expected to be higher again next year. Renewed M&A, most notably the Western Lithium / Lithium Americas merger, could be a sign of things to come. Projections of lithium demand continue to increase...

Sometimes good news hits the tape and investors ignore it. To be fair, investors in the TSXV have been pounded for nearly 4 years. Retail investors are now the experts, not sell-side analysts or newsletter writers who are forced to be bullish on paying customers!

That’s actually good news for savvy retail investors like us, with several hundred thousands of dollars to play with, not several hundred millions....

Lithium demand from Electric Vehicles, “EVs,” alone could grow 30% annually for years to come I’m on record as stating that demand for lithium will grow faster than most believe. Conventional wisdom seems to say that overall lithium demand will grow by 8%-12% annually. I understand why that range has been adopted, it’s already a fast growth rate by historical standards. Commodity and natural resource demand is frequently said to increase at, “the rate of GDP growth.” I wonder which country’s GDP rate is being referred to, hopefully not the U.S. A prime reason for my bullishness on lithium demand, with overall growth closer to 20% a year, is that Tesla is attracting A LOT of attention and competition. I will spare readers the obligatory rattling off a list of Tesla’s growing competition. But there’s much more to the story than Tesla....

Conventional wisdom suggests that hard rock lithium mining occupies a much larger environmental footprint, takes a longer time from exploration to production and is more expensive than brine harvesting methodologies. This alone makes old fashioned hard rock mining less and less popular around the globe. Materials like lithium are undergoing a paradigm shift, (a well regarded infographic sponsored by Dajin Resources Corp. (DJI.V) (DJIFF), created by Visual Capitalist describes this topic in depth). The case in favor of hard rock mining in most extractive industries is crumbling...

It is generally known to be true that battery use will drive lithium demand in the future.

It all started with Tesla Motors’ (NASDAQ:TSLA) announcement of its battery gigafactory in February 2014. That news was discussed endlessly with breathless excitement. The news sparked a revival in lithium, cobalt and graphite juniors. For example, Western Lithium USA (TSX:WLC), based in Nevada, more than doubled that month. At the time, I wrote a few articles saying that the gigafactory was great news for select graphite companies. I didn’t mention lithium or cobalt, simply because I was less fluent in those...

Tesla is already building a 5-million-square-foot battery factory. It's not big enough. That was the message from Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk this week while discussing, for the first time, the early response to his new product line of storage batteries designed for use in homes and businesses. The numbers are impressive. In the first few days of reservations since the battery announcement on April 30, Tesla took orders worth roughly $800 million in potential revenue, according to figures compiled by Bloomberg Business. ...

Early adapters of new technologies propelling major economic revolutions are historically the ones that stand to benefit from it the most.

The company's stock has gained almost 600% since that point....
