Western lithium
I've been ramping up my postings lately. I've been trying to fish out some information to see if anyone will confirm or not confirm the relationship between lithium from Argentina in supplying South Korea major battery manufacturers. LG home storage and the Chevy Volt deal Plus there technology far exceeds others in the industry there are long term consumption needs will need to be from a pure lithium player.
Western Lithium WLCDF up over 25% since I post last.

Western Lithium supplying anyone of the major players will be a pure Lithium play. I still Like LG Chem check this post out.
Detroit auto show, Denise Gray, CEO of LG Chem Power, raised the prospect of making EV replacement batteries. Instead of heavy, expensive battery packs designed to last 10 years or more, what if manufacturers offered lighter, less expensive batteries with a service life of 4-5 years? Cheaper batteries would lower the price of electric cars and make them more affordable.
LG Chem, of course, is in the business of making and selling batteries. More EV batteries would be good for business. But would consumers balk at the idea of paying thousands of dollars every so often to upgrade their batteries? What if conventional cars had internal combustion engines that had to be replaced on a regular basis?
Gray’s idea may not have much traction now, but some people have broached the idea of batteries that are rented rather than owned. They could be easily swapped the way empty propane tanks for gas grills get exchanged for full ones. The rental companies would always offer its customers the newest battery technology available. Older batteries could be reused for residential and grid storage.
I'm wicked excited about the lithium market outlook for 2016. I've been posting on just about every lithium message boards explaining how the lithium price wars. And how Western lithium has the two largest deposits one and Argentina shovel ready with 40 year life span which I believe will be dedicated to South Korea battery production in the storage system av and home storage. Predominantly controlled by LG chem. The second source Kings Valley what did Germany demonstration plant proving 99% purity it is in a key position to not only supply Tesla or future Faraday right next door is Michigan which has potential to become AV epicenter. Lithium has already been compared to the Future gasoline according to Goldman Sachs. A quieter future with clean and emissions was outlined in the Paris environmental initiatives. Massive amounts of subsidies will support the growing industry. In addition solar storage in the form of home batteries will further increase the demand. When Western lithium becomes a pure lithium player driving the industry on two fronts Nevada in Argentina should position them within the top 3 players by 2020. We could be seeing sales of lithium carbonate and hydroxide of over 40,000 tons per year anywhere from 7000 to 14000 per ton. Not counting by products like potash and other marketable products.
WLCDF STOCK over 25% gain since I asked for a chart maybe 100% gains soon I really like Clay Trader technical analysis and charting still little time to put up a chart.
Lithium price are going to be going up fast lots of news on Lithium Price wars starting with China and south Korea and other Large Battery manufacturers trying to set a fixed price. I am long on WLCDF but there is also LIT ETF that looks like a safe Lithium play.
Forecasting Lithium in 2016: What are the Salient Issues?

Lithium Price Wars are starting and its only 2016 check out this Info I am posting on just how crazy the market is setting up on Lithium.
Korean EV Batteries Makers: Buy On Dip, China Ban Won’t Last, Says Bernstein
Korean battery makers Samsung SDI (006400.Korea) and LG Chem (051910.Korea) tumbled yesterday after China said electric buses that use nickel manganese cobalt and nickel manganese cobalt batteries will no longer receive central government subsidies. Samsung SDI and LG Chem dominate in NMC/NCA battery manufacturing.
This ban is clearly politically motivated. Beijing is now worried about its local battery makers’ inferior market position. But NCM is clearly a superior battery and China’s manufacturers are far, far behind, noted Bernstein Research. Beijing will have to come around if it is serious about environmental protection in China. Analyst Mark Neuman wrote:
Look at the price Jump in China.
Global and China Lithium Carbonate Industry Report, 2016-2020
NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by a surge in sales volume of new energy vehicles in China, the upstream material- lithium carbonate was in short supply in the fourth quarter of 2015 with soaring prices. Global lithium carbonate output increased by 12.3% year on year to 202,800 tons in 2015 and is expected to arrive at 244,200 tons in 2016, 288,900 tons in 2017, and 341,000 tons in 2018, a rise of 20.4%, 18.3%, and 18.4% from a year ago, respectively.
The booming sales of new energy vehicles worldwide will boost lithium carbonate consumption significantly. According to estimates, every 100,000 new energy vehicles (electric bus (40%), electric sedan (20%), hybrid bus (25%), and hybrid sedan (15%)) will create a demand of 5,000 tons to 8,000 tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate, about a rise of 5%-8% in global demand for battery-grade lithium carbonate.
The price of lithium carbonate in China has been going straight up since Oct 2015 with that of industrial-grade and battery-grade lithium carbonate rising substantially (to RMB120,000/t and RMB150,000/t in Jan 2016, respectively, when battery-grade lithium hydroxide was quoted at RMB140,000/t, compared with the bottom price of lithium carbonate standing at RMB50,000/t). It is expected that global demand for lithium carbonate will outpace supply during 2016-2017, leading to a continued price rise during this period. As new lithium carbonate capacities are gradually released after 2017, the price will tend to stabilize.
POSCO’s new Chairman Kwon Oj-joon, who is scheduled to take office on March 14, has decided on electric vehicles (EVs) as his company’s future growth driver. POSCO and its subsidiaries are planning to create new business opportunities in the EV industry by working on automobile steel sheets, auto parts, and battery materials.
POSCO’s new Chairman Kwon Oj-joon.The steelmaker announced on March 13 that its subsidiaries participate in the first International Electric Vehicle Expo, which kicks off on March 15 in Jeju. POSCO, POSCO ICT, POSCO Chemtech, POSCO ESM, and many others are showing off their advanced technology in the world’s first EV expo.
The company is currently supplying steel sheets for Evs, and is going to focus more on related components and materials. The super-light, high-strength steel plates developed by POSCO are used mainly to manufacture EV frames and outer panels. When compared to existing products, these use at least 40 percent more ultra-high strength steel (UHSS) to reduce the weight of a vehicle body by approximately 25 percent while also satisfying the international collision safety regulations that become effective in 2015. The products are already used in Renault Samsung Motors’ SM3 Z.E. and GM Korea’s Spark EV. Kia Motors’ Soul EV is going to use the same products, too.
POSCO is concentrating as well on the development of lithium, which is a key material for secondary batteries, magnesium used in vehicle frames and panels, and neodymium permanent magnets for use in motors. The company will set up a pilot plant in Argentina in this context.
The steelmaker focuses its corporate resources on the promotion of its electrical steel sheets, too. The demand for electrical sheets is skyrocketing nowadays as a material for EVs, hybrid cars, and the new and renewable energy industry. In eco-friendly cars, these are used in motors or as iron cores of transformers. POSCO had established electrical steel sheet manufacturing facilities in Pohang (annual capacity of one million tons) and China (0.3 million tons) and, more recently, built another one with a capacity of 0.3 million tons in India late last year. Tesla Motors’ Model S as well as the Spark EV and Soul EV are using the sheets.
In the meantime, POSCO Chemtech and POSCO ESM are striving to develop anode and cathode materials employed in rechargeable batteries. The former built an anode material plant in 2011 and released Korea’s first anode material product for EV batteries. The latter has recently unveiled a lithium-manganese anode material having excellent efficiency.
As mentioned above, POSCO is preparing for the era of EVs by working on the various materials not limited to steel. The other global leading steelmakers are struggling to find clients amid the supply glut across the world, but POSCO is sharpening its competitive edge with parts and materials for EVs, which require higher quality than the auto parts in general.
At the same time, POSCO ICT is planning to take charge of establishing EV infrastructure and integrated monitoring center management. BMW has signed an agreement for EV charging infrastructure with POSCO ICT before the debut of its EV i3 in April this year. POSCO ICT is the first private-sector company in Korea that is engaged in this type of business.

POSCO, established an anode material plant with an annual production capacity of 600 tons at the Jeoneui Industrial Complex in Sejong City on June 28.
The establishment of the new anode material plant increased POSCO Chemtech's total annual capacity up to 3,000 tons. Anode material is a core material of rechargeable cells that are used widely for mobile devices such as smartphones, electric cars and energy storage systems.
Unlike the rechargeable-cell market where Korean companies, including Samsung SDI and LG Chem, are vying for the world's No. 1 spot, the anode material market has been dominated by Japanese and Chinese suppliers. In this segment, accordingly, the demand for localization has increased acutely. With the latest capacity expansion, POSCO Chemtech expects more than 30 billion won worth of import substitution effect in a year.

The 2015 drilling program is managed by Consul-Teck Exploration of Val-d'Or, Quebec, who designed the drilling campaign, supervised the program and logged and sampled the core.
Consul-Teck Exploration implemented QA/QC procedures to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of the core samples. The drill core was logged and then split, with one half sent for assay and the other retained in the core box as a witness sample. Duplicates and blanks were inserted regularly into the sample stream.
The samples in secure tagged bags were delivered directly to the analytical facility for analysis. In this case, the analytical facility was the ALS minerals in Val-d'Or, Quebec. The samples are weighed and identified prior to sample preparation. The samples are crushed to 70% minus 2 mm, then separated and pulverized to 85% passing 75µm. All samples are analyzed for Carbon Graphite using C-IR18.

LG storage battery will need lots of lithium the home storage market is going me larger then people understand.
If you are interested in energy storage, this announcement about LG Chem and SolaX Power collaborating seems potentially like a big one. LG Chem’s RESU6.4EX battery storage technology is being combined with a new hybrid inverter from SolaX Power and the system will be available worldwide in a few weeks. The SolaX inverter has been designed to work both on and off the grid. It also has an all-in-one charger in addition to the DC-to-AC inverter, and an energy management system. An animated illustration shows how the inverter works.
battery storage lg chemThe LG Chem Li-ion RESU6.4EX battery has a storage capacity of 6.4 kWh, which can be expanded to 9.6 kWh or 12.8 kWh. It also has its own battery management system, and a free app which can be used to monitor its performance. There is a 10-year warranty and more spec information is here. Price information seems scant, but a UK website says it is £3,475, which is about $5,000. The LG Chem system has been designed to work well with solar power, as has the SolaX hybrid inverter. There are more details here.
“The partnership between SolaX Power and LG Chem highlights the significance of topics like renewable energies and their efficient use. It is also an indication of our market strength, and our high-performance product portfolio. We would like to take advantage of the opportunity with LG Chem, to further expand our business relationships with wholesalers and installers, especially within the European and Australian market,” said Michael Zhu, Global Sales Director at SolaX Power.
The LG Chem/SolaX Power energy storage system has been created to provide dependable grid protection, including during a power outage. So, what about the price? It wasn’t in the joint press release, so it isn’t clear, but one site lists some of the SolaX hybrid inverters between $1,300 and $2,100.
SolaX Power_ hybrid inverter
Based on these sources — which don’t appear to be perfect — one could guess the whole system’s price might be between $6,300 and $7,200.
It is fascinating to see these energy storage developments — especially following the announcement of the Tesla Powerwall — which seemed to anticipate, if not precipitate, some of them. Battery storage appears to be poised to be entering a new phase of greater visibility and usage.

.32 in the books let's close over .30 and we might never see twenties again. I'm so glad I was able to load up in the low twenties, that could be the difference in a boat or a new car.
Ty I might jump in
We could see a breakout to .46 if get some buyers or news no resistance above I would like to see a big long green candle with a close above .32
I like the chart John cm Wlcdf looks strong to me. I am checking out that BTG stock also you Long on the btg stock?
Western lithium and Posco might have news coming out that's what I have herd on the grapevine.
WLCDF Western Lithium
Was looking for one of you charts on this seem like a nice set up for strong gains was up over 14% at noon. Has strong levels of support at .24 to .27 and weak resistance at .31 .46 maybe they will fall and become support levels. any chance you could do your chart on this?
WLCDF Western Lithium in a Bullish up Trend with strong levels of support and low resistance we should be looking at new Highs and strong gains look for .31 and .46 as the next levels to become support.
Western Lithium has a nice level of Support at .24 to .27 and Low resistance at .31 .46 so looks ready to post some new Highs. Lithium Market is setting up for gains also LIT ETF looks good for a safe placement in the Lithium playing field.
Driven by a surge in sales volume of new energy vehicles in China, the upstream material- lithium carbonate was in short supply in the fourth quarter of 2015 with soaring prices. Global lithium carbonate output increased by 12.3% year on year to 202,800 tons in 2015 and is expected to arrive at 244,200 tons in 2016, 288,900 tons in 2017, and 341,000 tons in 2018, a rise of 20.4%, 18.3%, and 18.4% from a year ago, respectively.
The booming sales of new energy vehicles worldwide will boost lithium carbonate consumption significantly. According to estimates, every 100,000 new energy vehicles (electric bus (40%), electric sedan (20%), hybrid bus (25%), and hybrid sedan (15%)) will create a demand of 5,000 tons to 8,000 tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate, about a rise of 5%-8% in global demand for battery-grade lithium carbonate.
The price of lithium carbonate in China has been going straight up since Oct 2015 with that of industrial-grade and battery-grade lithium carbonate rising substantially (to RMB120,000/t and RMB150,000/t in Jan 2016, respectively, when battery-grade lithium hydroxide was quoted at RMB140,000/t, compared with the bottom price of lithium carbonate standing at RMB50,000/t). It is expected that global demand for lithium carbonate will outpace supply during 2016-2017, leading to a continued price rise during this period.

WESTERN Lithium smart move investors should take a second look how they used experience to secure this 40 year treasure. Progression is well on the way.
Argentina mine shovel-ready. It is finalizing financing with a Korean partner that has already committed to providing 100% financing for the mine and the production. The recent rise in the lithium price probably gave the Koreans more urgency to start the lithium mine as soon as possible because, unlike China, Korea cannot produce any lithium. All its lithium has to be imported, so it was probably hurt the most from the recent lithium squeeze. That means Western Lithium is in a very good position to negotiate the best terms, enabling it to move into production as soon as next year, 2017.
Called that pop .27 over look for .31 to fall next then off we go looks like a nice run coming.
