Cardiff Energy Corp. Acquires Eastmain River Lithium project in Quebec And
Provides Clayton #1H Update
June 22st, 2016 - CARDIFF ENERGY CORP. (the "Company") (TSX-V: "CRS",
Frankfurt: "C2Z.F", US Pinksheets: "CRRDF") is pleased to announce the
acquisition of the Eastman River Lithium Project from Zimtu Capital Corp.
(TSX-V: "ZC"). The Eastman River Lithium Project comprises 22 mineral
claims encompassing approximately 2,860 acres in Quebec, Canada. The
Eastmain River area consists of a 4km zone of irregular cross cutting dikes
of spodumene pegmatites, up to 60 meters wide and over 100 meters long. As
reported by Pelletier a geologist who evaluated the area in 1977, 277
samples were taken with an average Li20 content of 1.7%. No drilling has
been done on the property to date.
The Eastmain River Li Project is situated in the lower Eastmain greenstone
belt, part of the northeastern portion of the superior province. Rock
types mainly consist of amphibolite facies, felsic metavolcanics and
metasedimentary rocks. Outcrop exposure is extraordinary in the area with
pegmatites crosscutting at surface.
The pegamatites of the Eastmain River area are almost always spodumene
bearing and enriched in light elements such as Li, Be, Na, and B, some
crystals exceeding one meter in length. Slow cooling crystallization of
magmatic fluids is the cause for the megacrystic nature of the pegmatites.
The project is located near kilometer 386 on the road from Matagami, Quebec
and is easily accessed by paved highway or by air from the Opinaca Airport
30 km away. The LG-2 hydroelectric reservoir is 31 kilometers to the east.
There is a gas station, accommodations, and helicopter support located 8
kilometers to the south west of the property. The project is 2.5 kilometers
from the highway and 8 km to the north of Galaxy Resources James bay
Lithium project on the south side of the Eastmain River.
Galaxy Resources James Bay Lithium Project has an" indicated resource of
11.75 million tonnes grading at 1.30% Li2O and inferred resources of
10.47mt grading at 1.20% Li2O. The James Bay deposit occurs at surface and
resource modelling indicates that the resource is amenable to open pit
extraction. There is excellent potential to increase the resources through
additional delineation of the pegmatite dykes along strike and at depth and
potential to increase grade through infill drilling" (Galaxy Resources,
2016).
With regards to the Clayton #1H, operations have been temporarily suspended
until the Company secures additional funding or a Joint Venture partner can
be found to help move the project forward.

ALIX SAMPLES UP TO 2.82% LITHIUM OXIDE AT JACKPOT
June 20, 2016, Vancouver, BC, Canada – ALIX RESOURCES CORP. (“Alix” or the “Company”) (AIX-TSX:V) (37N–FRANKFURT) announces initial results from sampling program at its Jackpot Lithium property (“Jackpot Property”) located in the Georgia Lake area within the Thunder Bay Mining Division, Ontario. Multiple samples ran greater than 2 wt.% Li20.
Approximately 90 kg of spodumene-bearing granitic pegmatite rocks were collected from the surface sent to Actlabs laboratory facilities of Vancouver, BC for assaying. Five of seven samples returned significant lithium values with samples returning in excess of 2% Li2O. Significant results include the following: 0.85%, 2.08%, 1.02%, 2.01% and 2.82% Li2O (lithium oxide).
“Given these samples were taken during the winter and visual observation were hampered by snow cover, we are very encouraged with these initial high-grade results and we are looking forward to exploring the potential of the property as we enter the summer exploration season,” stated President and CEO of Alix Mike England. “Finding high-grade spodumene bearing rocks, in conjunction with the encouraging historical diamond drilling results, will help Alix work towards confirming the historical lithium resource on the Jackpot property.”
Lithium was first discovered in 1955 at the Jackpot property in granitic pegmatites. The property covers the Jackpot lithium deposits, described by E.G. Pye in a 1965 report published by the Ontario Depart. of Mines on the Georgia Lake Area. The deposits were tested by a total of 32 holes drilled in 1955 by Ontario Lithium Company Limited and its associated company Conwest Exploration Co. Ltd. The drilling confirmed the presence of at least two spodumene-bearing pegmatite bodies, one at the surface (No. 1) and the other (No. 2) lying directly beneath the No. 1 deposit. Historical resources at Jackpot, comprising only the No. 2 Dyke pegmatite zone, was reported as 2Mt @ 1.09 Li2O estimated in 1956 by Ontario Lithium Company Limited*. The No. 2 pegmatite dyke, which was discovered by diamond-drilling, was intersected at 30 to 100 meters intervals over a strike length of 215 meters and at 30-60 meters intervals over a distance of 365 meters across strike. Dyke No. 2 is 4 to 20 meters thick, averaging 11 meters.
*The estimates presented above are treated as historic information and have not been verified or relied upon for economic evaluation by the Company. These historical mineral resources do not refer to any category of sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the NI-43-101 Instrument such as mineral resources or mineral reserves as stated in the 2010 CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The explanation lies in the inability by the Company to verify the data acquired by the various historical drilling campaigns. The Company has not done sufficient work yet to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
The Company is currently compiling the public assessment data on the Jackpot and are also sourcing information held privately by companies that acquired the Conwest libraries. A work program is being planned for later in the summer to confirm and expand the lithium resources and showings.

June 7, 2016,ACQUISITION OF FOUR LITHIUM PROJECTS IN THE PREISSAC-LACORNE COMPLEX OF THE ABITIBI GREENSTONE BELT, QUEBEC
Vancouver, BC, Canada – ALIX RESOURCES CORP. (“Alix” or the “Company”) (AIX-TSX:V) (37N–FRANKFURT) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a portfolio of lithium properties in the Preissac-Lacorne plutonic complex of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, province of Quebec, from arms-length vendors. The Preissac-Lacorne Lithium Portfolio consists of claim groups situated within the La Motte, La Corne, Preissac, Figuery and Landrienne townships. The four properties, containing numerous showings mineralized in Li (spodumene) ±Ta (tantalite) ±Be (beryl), have been investigated sporadically by junior mining companies with various geophysical, geochemical and geological tools from the early 1950’s until the present day.
The acquisition is composed of 145 claims covering 6,292 ha and contains numerous lithium spodumene-bearing granitic pegmatite occurrences, showings and prospects of historic significance, explored by leading lithium exploration companies during the early lithium boom of the 1950-1960’s such as; American Lithium Corporation, International Lithium Mining Corp., Duval Lithium, QLC (formerly Lithium Exploration Company Limited), and Quebec Lithium.
The core of the claim group is located 40 km northeast of the mining town of Val d’Or. The recorded mineral claims extend 30 km east-west by 15 km north-south. The properties are accessible by a network of paved roads connecting to the main 117 Highway linking Val d’Or to Rouyn-Noranda. The region holds several precious and base metals mines and possesses all the infrastructures and workforce necessary to support a mining operation.
Highlights of properties comprised in the Preissac-Lacorne Lithium Project
The International Lithium Property is located in the Figuery Township (NTS 32D08). Mineralization consists of spodumene-rich sub-horizontal, irregular dykes. Drilling carried out by International Lithium Corp. in the 1950’s, delineated a 3.7-m thick, 119 x 104 m area providing an historical resource estimate of 135,000t @ 0.95 wt. % Li2O (Source: RP 446; MERQ)*.
The La Motte Lithium Property is located in the La Motte Township (NTS 32D08). Granitic pegmatites dykes, 0.60 to 1.20 m thick, reveal 15 to 30% spodumene accompanied of beryl. Diamond drilling generated key assays of 1.65 wt. % Li2O on 1.0 m and 1.12 wt. % Li2O on 1.32 m, respectively (Source : GM 03089;MERQ).
The Duval Lithium Property is also situated in the La Motte Township (NTS 32D8). The mineralization is contained within two granitic pegmatite dykes (182-259 m long x 2-3 m thick), rich in spodumene (Li) with accessory tantalite (Ta) and Beryl (Be). The dykes were investigated by 27 DDH by Ascot Metals in 1955. Dyke #1 yielded Li2O assays of 1.45 wt. % Li2O (n=15), whereas, Dyke #2 produced 0.57% Li2O (n=4). Historical resource estimates were 75,000t @1.45 wt. % Li2O (Source: RG160; MERQ)*.
The West Canada Lithium Property (“WCL”) is contiguous to the western boundary of RB Energy’s Canada Lithium Mine property located in the La Corne Township (NTS 32C05).

Yes, dance is opened for Hydro Solar. The current price there will not be long ...
Solar goes Hyper in the U.S. HyperSolar magnifying film can increase solar panel efficiency by up to 300%, making solar competitive with fossil fuels.As the U.S. government continues to heap billions in subsidies to the world's wealthiest coal and oil companies, the solar industry has been struggling to make it in the United States. This is sad for many reasons, not the least of which is that we're missing out on one of the biggest growth industries in the world.
Currently there are 16 gigawatts of installed solar power globally. That number will grow to about 1,800 gigawatts in the next 20 years, making it one of the best job creators. U.S. engineers invented the solar panel, and the U.S. should be dominating that market. Instead, foreign manufacturers (particularly in China) have taken our IP and run with it, as we become increasingly dependent on foreign oil and dirty coal operations to meet our power needs.
Fortunately HyperSolar, a new U.S. company, offers a ray of sunny hope on the clean energy frontier.
The company does not manufacture solar panels. It makes them ultra-efficient using a field of science called photonics. Similar to a microchip that moves individual bits of data around at hyperspeed, HyperSolar's thin magnifying film routes and separates specific light spectrums, delivering them exactly where they're needed to make an array of PV solar cells ultra-efficient.
I saw an early prototype for such a magnifying optical layer a few years back, but the company was "dark" at the time, so I couldn't write about the innovation. But I'm as excited now as I was then for good reason — HyperSolar's optical layer can increase PV efficiency by up to 300 percent!
Theoretically that means cutting the installation cost of a solar array in half. Instead of a home solar system costing $30,000 (or more) it would only cost $15,000 (or less), making the upfront investment much lower and payback periods much quicker.
This is a great example of a disruptive technology that could get us to the holy grail of "grid parity" — meaning that solar would be as affordable as other sources of energy like coal and natural gas. And no more polluting coal mines or fracking for natural gas! The sun (for at least the next 5 billion years) will provide free and abundant energy. It's up to us whether we want to invest in that technology or continue to destroy our beautiful landscapes for a few more years of "cheap" (i.e. heavily subsidized) coal.
Innovations like this make several recent reports ring true. If we have the political will to overcome the stranglehold of the fossil fuel industry on our nation's energy policy, we could become 100 percent renewably powered in a 2030-2050 time frame. Check out these two reports and a new study by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) about how large-scale wind power is now cost-competitive with natural gas:
HyperSolar has Breakthrough in Converting Solar Power to Hydrogen
by Chris Meehan on 05/31/2016 in Alternative Energy, Photovoltaic Technology, Renewable Energy, Solar Cells, Solar Power
HyperSolar announced that it’s made a breakthrough in converting water into hydrogen using solar power. The company’s new breakthrough has increased the conversion efficiency of its nanostructured solar cell materials by 100 percent, which makes the creation of commercially available hydrogen from water closer.
Hydrogen is an excellent carrier of energy and car manufacturers from Toyota to Chevrolet, heck, even the U.S. military, are interested in using it as a clean energy source for all manner of transportation and energy needs. However, the problem is while hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, it’s also hard to find in a pure form. Most hydrogen available today comes from extracting it from natural gas. Mockup of a HyperSolar project. Courtesy HyperSolar
HyperSolar is focussed on creating a low-cost, submersible solar cell that can convert all types of water into hydrogen and oxygen. However, it has to get a number of factors correct including currents and voltages to make the conversion happen efficiently.
HyperSolar previously achieved photovoltages exceeding 1.5 volts, which HyperSolar said is: “The widely accepted voltage needed for splitting water using sunlight as the sole energy input.” With the voltage achieved, now the company is improving the photocurrent. The company said it has reached two-thirds of the photocurrent that will allow it to achieve a conversion efficiency of 10 percent, which would make it commercially feasible.
"By optimizing the photocurrents used to produce voltage levels needed to effectively split water molecules, using only earth abundant materials, we are edging closer to our goal of low-cost green hydrogen for commercial use," said Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar. "Our scientific teams, now led by new CTO, Dr. Joun Lee, has continued to drive the milestones and breakthroughs that we believe will represent one of the few, if not the only viable source, for completely renewable and affordable solar hydrogen fuel production.”
The company aims to create a modular generator system that can convert water, whether it’s waste water or other water, into hydrogen and oxygen. The company hopes to make the system stable enough to power a home or provide hydrogen gas to power a community.

May 24, 2016 HyperSolar Announces Breakthrough Towards Commercially Viable Solar-to-Hydrogen Efficiency
Company's Research Team Doubles Photocurrents in Novel Solar Cell to Achieve High Efficiency in Splitting Water Molecules for Hydrogen Production
SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - May 24, 2016) - HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCQB: HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, today announced that it recently was able to improve the photocurrents achievable from its proprietary nanostructured solar cell materials for hydrogen ("H2") production by approximately one hundred percent (100%).
The amount of hydrogen production is directly related to the amount of photocurrents generated from the solar cell materials. This breakthrough constitutes an important milestone in the Company's effort to split water molecules for the production of renewable hydrogen fuel.
HyperSolar has previously shown that it could reliably achieve photovoltages exceeding 1.5 Volts, the widely accepted voltage needed for splitting water using sunlight as the sole energy input. With the photovoltage challenge solved, HyperSolar focused its recent efforts on improving the photocurrent. It is now able to achieve a current density of 5 mA cm-2, or two-thirds of the value needed to achieve the Company's commercialization goal of 10% solar-to-H2 efficiency. By effectively doubling the photocurrents of its solar cell materials, the Company is progressing towards a system that may potentially be very economical in a real-world environment for hydrogen production to meet increased market demand. Further development efforts will focus on increasing the long-term stability of the cells within these reactor environments.
"By optimizing the photocurrents used to produce voltage levels needed to effectively split water molecules, using only earth abundant materials, we are edging closer to our goal of low-cost green hydrogen for commercial use," said Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar. "Our scientific teams, now led by new CTO, Dr. Joun Lee, has continued to drive the milestones and breakthroughs that we believe will represent one of the few, if not the only viable source, for completely renewable and affordable solar hydrogen fuel production."

Jun 3rd, 2016 New Process Efficiently Uses Solar to Produce Hydrogen by RP Siegel on Friday, Jun 3rd, 2016

New Process Efficiently Uses Solar to Produce Hydrogen
by RP Siegel on Friday, Jun 3rd, 2016
Not long ago, we heard a great deal about the “hydrogen economy.” While the prospect of using hydrogen for vehicle fuel, as well as other energy storage functions, is not dead, it has faded into the background as a number of technical hurdles need to be overcome.
Cost is one factor, especially as battery costs continue to fall. A battery will never be able to deliver the amount of energy capacity per pound as hydrogen, though with battery-powered vehicle ranges in excess of 200 miles, that might be good enough for many applications. Heavier vehicles like trucks, trains and airplanes will likely need some other approach for which hydrogen still has great potential. But another problem facing hydrogen is where to get it in the first place.
Both of the most common methods, electrolysis and natural gas reforming, have issues. Electrolysis — applying electric current to water to break it into its constituent parts: hydrogen and oxygen — is straightforward and clean. However the amount of energy required for this is quite high.
Natural gas reforming, as the name implies, takes in natural gas and generally uses steam to extract hydrogen from it. As of now, natural gas is abundant and quite inexpensive. However, the process emits CO2 as a by-product — which, to some extent, defeats the purpose of producing a clean fuel.
Now, a company called HyperSolar claims to have developed a commercially-scalable method of producing hydrogen using only sunlight and water.
The photoelectrochemical process, which HyperSolar claims was inspired by photosynthesis, uses a self-contained hydrogen generator: Water flows through, and hydrogen and oxygen are extracted at the cathode and anode, respectively, while sunlight enters from above.
If all the company did was use solar as the energy source for electrolysis, that wouldn’t be anything new. The amount of solar power required would still be cost prohibitive. But the HyperSolar system has two distinct advantages.
First, it facilitates a more complete transfer of energy into each hydrogen molecule. This provides a great deal more stored energy for each unit of energy input, which greatly reduces cost. Secondly, unlike conventional electrolysis systems, which require purified water, this system can use ocean water, waste water or just about any other water source. This is crucial as water has become as critical an issue as energy, and in some places even more so.
How is this accomplished? The HyperSolar technology is based on two breakthroughs. The company developed a nanoparticle that is designed to mimic natural photosynthesis in the way that it absorbs sunlight, as well as provide integrated anode and cathode areas that efficiently split the water and transfer electrons into the molecular hydrogen bonds. This process effectively captures far more of the sun’s energy and transforms it into hydrogen than other approaches. Furthermore, each particle is encapsulated in a protective coating that allows it to be submerged under water without corrosion or short-circuiting. This allows the particles to be used in a wide range of water conditions.
The combination of these two elements provide a distinctive economic advantage. But is it enough to relaunch the hydrogen economy? Only time will tell.

04.26.2016 HyperSolar Extends Research Agreement With University of Iowa
SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - April 26, 2016) - HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCQB: HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, announced today that it has extended its sponsored research agreement with the University of Iowa through April 30, 2017. The Company seeks to sustain the momentum achieved in scaling up its renewable hydrogen production technology to meet growing market demand.
Led by Dr. Syed Mubeen, the scientific team at the University of Iowa has spurred development of HyperSolar technology. Recent technological milestones include (1) identifying a simple and low-cost process for the manufacturing of solar hydrogen production cells, (2) developing a proprietary coating made of inexpensive earth abundant materials to protect the solar cells during the hydrogen generation process, and (3) identifying a process to produce renewable hydrogen using a low-cost photocatalyst as opposed to more expensive, platinum-based catalysts. The research team has now turned its focus to further demonstrating capabilities at larger scale.
May 24,2016 OTC Disclosure&News Service HyperSolar Announces Breakthrough Towards Commercially Viable Solar-to-Hydrogen Efficiency
Company's Research Team Doubles Photocurrents in Novel Solar Cell to Achieve High Efficiency in Splitting Water Molecules for Hydrogen Production
SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - May 24, 2016) - HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCQB: HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, today announced that it recently was able to improve the photocurrents achievable from its proprietary nanostructured solar cell materials for hydrogen ("H2") production by approximately one hundred percent (100%).
The amount of hydrogen production is directly related to the amount of photocurrents generated from the solar cell materials. This breakthrough constitutes an important milestone in the Company's effort to split water molecules for the production of renewable hydrogen fuel.
HyperSolar has previously shown that it could reliably achieve photovoltages exceeding 1.5 Volts, the widely accepted voltage needed for splitting water using sunlight as the sole energy input. With the photovoltage challenge solved, HyperSolar focused its recent efforts on improving the photocurrent. It is now able to achieve a current density of 5 mA cm-2, or two-thirds of the value needed to achieve the Company's commercialization goal of 10% solar-to-H2 efficiency. By effectively doubling the photocurrents of its solar cell materials, the Company is progressing towards a system that may potentially be very economical in a real-world environment for hydrogen production to meet increased market demand. Further development efforts will focus on increasing the long-term stability of the cells within these reactor environments.
"By optimizing the photocurrents used to produce voltage levels needed to effectively split water molecules, using only earth abundant materials, we are edging closer to our goal of low-cost green hydrogen for commercial use," said Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar. "Our scientific teams, now led by new CTO, Dr. Joun Lee, has continued to drive the milestones and breakthroughs that we believe will represent one of the few, if not the only viable source, for completely renewable and affordable solar hydrogen fuel production."
HyperSolar's research is centered on developing a low-cost and submersible hydrogen production particle that can split water molecules under the sun, emulating the core functions of photosynthesis. Each particle is a complete hydrogen generator that contains a novel high voltage solar cell bonded to chemical catalysts by a proprietary encapsulation coating.
