Growing interest in electric mining vehicles!

Excerpts from article on "MacLean Engineering" in current edition of Resource World Magazine:

* Worldwide nterest in, and purchase orders for, battery operated mining vehicles is rapidly increasing;

* Advantages include doing all charging by just pulling up to an existing underground outlet and plugging in, so the equipment can literally be recharged anywhere in the mine where there is an existing outlet, providing tremendous flexibility to the mine operator. No charging walls, battery swap-out bases or other infrastructure is needed - the equipment can show up onsite and go to work underground immediately;

* Currently, life cycle charging on the batteries indicate that they get a minimum of 6,800 full charges, from empty to full, which, in some cases, translates into 10 to 12 years life out of the batteries; and

* "Battery commodities are hot right now. We are using the batteries to power the equipment that is mining the commodities needed to make more batteries. It is a beautiful full cycle situation. There is demand for ... lithium ... in order to have a cleaner work environment and reduce your ventilation energy demands, you need those commodities that go into battery technology."
