FLPC(up 40%)from a newsletter!>>>>>
First Liberty Power Corp.(FLPC) is a Nevada based mineral exploration company with a primary focus on lithium exploration and development in the United States .
FLPC is positioned to capitalize on the anticipated increase in demand for lithium carbonate that is projected to result from the acceleration of the adoption and use of clean renewable energy products that utilize lithium-ion batteries.
First Liberty Power Corp. holds the rights to an 84 claim, 12,800 acre property located in close proximity to the Lithium brine rich, Clayton Valley, Nevada. The Clayton Valley Lithium deposits has been known and even tapped on for decades. The Chemtall Lithium Silver Peak facility, the largest Lithium brine production facility in the U.S, was opened in 1967 and has been producing lithium carbonate from brines ever since
Why Lithium? Powering The Green Revolution
The United States has made clean sustainable energy and green house gas reduction one of the key issues of its domestic energy policy. Included in this policy is a pledge to eliminate oil imports from the Middle East and Venezuela within a decade and to slash the U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by more than 30% by the year 2020.
For this to be successfully the current administration has to do two things:
Wean America off using fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) to produce energy.
Develop alternative clean energy sources within the US to avoid energy imports.
Lithium
Lithium is a soft, silver-white metal that belongs to the alkali metal group of chemical elements. It is represented by the symbol Li, and it has the atomic number 3. Under standard conditions it is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. Because of its high reactivity, lithium only appears naturally in the form of compounds. Lithium occurs in a number of pegmatitic minerals, but is also commonly obtained from brines and clays.
Petalite (which contains lithium) was discovered by José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva at the end of the 18th century . Lithium was discovered by Johan August Arfvedson in 1817 during an analysis of petalite ore. Arfvedson subsequently discovered lithium in the minerals spodumene and lepidolite. C.G. Gmelin observed in 1818 that lithium salts color flames bright red. The first isolation of elemental lithium was achieved by W.T. Brande and Sir Humphrey Davy by the electrolysis of lithium oxide. In 1855, Bunsen and Mattiessen isolated larger quantities of the metal by electrolysis of lithium chloride.
In 1923, the first commercial production of lithium metal was achieved by Metallgesellschaft AG in Germany using the electrolysis of a molten mixture of lithium chloride and potassium chloride.
