Vulcan’s Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 31 December 2023 was released today.

The last quarter of 2023 was pivotal for Vulcan, achieving key milestones towards delivering Phase One of our ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™ Project. Most notably, we opened our Lithium Extraction Optimisation Plant (LEOP), Europe’s first, and the start of tangible action towards securing a domestic and sustainable supply chain for lithium in Europe. Now, we are ramping up our debt and project-level equity financing process while focusing on producing the first tonnes of lithium chloride to specification in Q1. We aim to be ready for lithium hydroxide production from our Central Lithium Electrolysis Optimisation Plant (CLEOP) in Q2.

I kept one share to watch. It will cost me $50 bucks to sell. 😒

Wait, what!

“The aim is to extract CO2-neutral lithium from thermal water of the Upper Rhine Ditch with deep geothermal energy. In geothermal plants, the heat of water from the depths is used. In the Upper Rhine Trench, the thermal water contains lithium, which is to be filtered out before it is fed back into the earth.”

Go get’em tiger.

Pilot Plant
• Vulcan’s lithium Pilot Plant has produced all the data needed for the DFS and recently confirmed
the highest grade, lowest impurity lithium hydroxide (LiOH) produced to date.
• The Pilot Plant has been successfully operating since April 2021. The pilot plant uses ‘live’
geothermal brine from Vulcan’s commercially operational geothermal plant and operational
wells, which enables the team to demonstrate pre-treatment and a sorption-type lithium
extraction process, while generating crucial data needed for lithium plant engineering design.
• The Company’s in-house lithium extraction team has also successfully developed, tested and
demonstrated Vulcan’s own in-house lithium extraction sorbent, VULSORB™, which continues to
operate successfully.

All these companies are playing around, Burba, sits with a completed Unit and everyone else is still in the lab with 5-gallon buckets..

News has to be around the corner, So, many options. When the first one starts producing and gets dialed in. It should get interesting soon .

The over reaction is why one should talk about it on the board on the weekend. Then people have time to digest, as you did. I told all the longs same time as I told you .

Ask them what they think

I think I over reacted and your reasoning that this is typical protocol after the courts dismissing.

The MM’s know about the court case and they haven’t dragged the PPS down further. Between The CEO recent purchase of shares solidifies a lot about the foundation and its progress.

You could post all or minor hints, opinions are the biggest response.

Let’s see how this week plays out. I really am curious to the results. But hey we had to deal with COVID delays whats another 6 months.

Have you heard of this before, the battery in video in link below?

Do me a favor, make a post there.

This site was made to talk about all battery metals.

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=169478540

I too was thinking that as well.

There was another filing a couple of days earlier, I was checking in the mornings for the response it came quick

Alot of pages to the one it would take to long to post them to you.

This is normal procedure, lawyer posturing. 45-days for them to show their cards.

Thinking we should talk about it on the weekend, get it out in the open, what do you think? Ask the longs

(Should I post all those pages in the morning of the last one, with our response first. Then this one Sunday?)

Give people time to talk about it, before the open.

They had that PR ready to soften the news.

I shared most updates with a long that I have an email for. I am sure they are talking about it at discord.

Wish I was better versed in the court case you had messaged me.

But I assumed things were being dismissed and then this form is filed. Feels like a step in the wrong direction.

Am I wrong in saying that?

Informing at an early stage, involving citizens and creating acceptance - these points are the A&O for the success of the energy transition and the success of every renewable energy project, because without these ingredients the #Energiewende falters.
And acceptance is increasing, not least because of the need to achieve our independence from foreign energy imports as quickly as possible.

At the Maimarkt in #Mannheim, we had informative discussions with around 5,000 people about the #Energiewende, #Rohstoff dependency and our projects. Bottom line: A win for everyone!

ASX Release 28 April 2022
Exploration and development
Strategically located in Europe, Vulcan has the largest lithium resource at the centre of the fastest
growing lithium-ion battery market in the world. The Company is aiming to increase the future supply of
its sustainable lithium chemical product in response to significant customer demand.
During the period, the Company was awarded new exploration licenses for geothermal energy and
lithium in the Upper Rhine Valley Geothermal Brine Field, stepping out from its area already in production
for geothermal energy. The new licenses increased Vulcan’s granted license area by nearly 50% to over
1,000km2
. The team has been focused on reviewing existing data and adding to Vulcan’s project
development pipeline with the view to launch a drilling campaign at the end of 2022 to grow renewable
energy production and lithium production.
In addition, Vulcan subsidiary Vulcan Energy Italy Pty Ltd was granted the Cesano Permit, in Italy. The
Cesano Permit extends over an area of 11.5 km2 and includes an area where a single geothermal well
yielded two “hot brine” samples that contained high average lithium-in-brine historical (1976) grades of
350 and 380 mg/l Li. Vulcan is working with local partners to ascertain the potential of the area in more
detail, and ascertain next steps. By growing and diversifying Vulcan’s project development portfolio - an
initiative internally called “Project Rollo” – the Company aims to develop a global Zero Carbon LithiumÔ
business focused on Europe, and to become a significant producer of renewable energy and sustainable
lithium for electric vehicles. Vulcan is also looking at medium to longer-term opportunities on the French side of the Upper Rhine Valley.

Vulcan Energie Ressourcen GmbH is working to produce climate-neutral #Lithium in the region. For this purpose, it not only wants to obtain #Erneuerbareenergien, but also directly the heat from geothermal energy. I got an idea of this myself in the laboratory in Karlsruhe-Durlach and at the pilot plant at the geothermal power plant in Insheim. Here, lithium is to be extracted to a large extent from the thermal water from the depths of the Upper Rhine Graben. Lithium is necessary, among other things, for the production of the batteries of most electric cars and thus decisive for the ecological #Transformation.

Innovative processes for the own extraction of critical raw materials can make an important contribution to making us more independent of authoritarian states such as #China. This not only makes our economy more resilient, we also remain capable of acting in foreign policy and secure climate-neutral #Wohlstand for the future.

Many thanks Horst Kreuter Gerlinde Sterns for the exciting insights!

The shocking events in Ukraine call for a reassessment of current policies in many areas, including and especially energy. Germany's dependence on Russian energy imports must be significantly reduced - and as quickly as possible.

The German government is currently discussing and developing a wide range of measures and Vulcan is advocating for geothermal technology to be embraced as a secure and clean supply of heat.

It is clear that Germany must expand energy production at home, particularly for heating, to be prepared for any shortages that result from a halt in Russian energy supplies.

We believe, consistent with a recent government commissioned study by the Fraunhofer Institute, that deep geothermal renewable energy is a critical part of the new energy mix required, providing a secure and at the same time clean supply of renewable heat. Together with near-surface geothermal energy, this technology is capable of covering around one-fifth of Germany's heat demand by 2030 and thus replacing a significant proportion of Russian natural gas imports.

Also, there was a name I seen a while back of the company building the pilot plant, I need to find that name again and see what we can find. Must be a patent or two with it. Love to see those names as well.

Please remind me of this if you do not see anything here by Sunday.

DLE Demo Plant
The DLE Demo Plant is a priority for the lithium team and will be installed and operated at an existing
geothermal plant. A team of around 15 engineers and technicians have now finalised the design work and
the pre-fabrication of the plant started in February 2022, offsite in Germany. Designed to produce
15 to 20 kg/h of concentrated LiCl solution from 5000 to 6000 l/h of geothermal brine, the Demo Plant
will provide important operational learnings prior to Vulcan’s planned start of commercial production in
2024. More than 80%of the equipment has been ordered and commissioning start is on track for mid2022. The DLE Demo Plant will represent an approximately 1:200 scale of the first commercial plant.
Once operational, the plant will employ more than 20 people, with the Company committed to prioritising
local jobs in the Upper Rhine Valley region.
