Gruvefasiliteter i Ontario i sentrum for ekspansjonsprosjekter knyttet til litium

OTTAWA, March 24, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Hvis du har jobbet på en baerbar PC, snakket i mobiltelefon, kost deg med en iPod eller tatt en kjøretur i en elektrisk bil, ja, da er litium og andre sjeldne grunnstoffer (REE) en del av ditt liv. Disse grunnstoffene, som omfatter de lite kjente stoffene Yttrium, skandium, i tillegg til lantanid, brukes også i tilsetningsstoffer for å lage glass, bilkatalysatorer, permanente magneter, oppladbare batterier, fiberoptikk og lasere.

Ontario setter fart på leting etter REE og litium. International Lithium Corp., et ungt gruveselskap, har nylig kjøpt opp fire eiendommer i den nordvestlige delen av Ontario. Mavis Lake-prosjektet, som ligger omtrent 15 kilometer nordøst for Dryden i Ontario, inkluderer litium og Ta tantal, et hardt blågrått metall som brukes i kirurgisk utstyr, kameraobjektiver, presisjonsutstyr til laboratorier, mobiltelefoner, datamaskiner og mikrosensorer. Forgan- og Niemi Lake-prosjektene, som ligger naer Nipigon i Ontario, har en beregnet litiumreserve på 200 000 tonn, med sterkt potensial for andre typer REE også. Big Beaverhouse-prosjektet, som ligger nord for Pickle Lake i Ontario, har et av de største karbonitt-kompleksene (som indikerer REE-mineralisering) i Ontario, på over 2880 hektar.

Ifølge en investeringsrelatert forskningsrapport fra Dundee Securities Corp. fra oktober 2009, driver batteriproduksjon vekst i REE-sektoren, med batteribruk stående for 27 prosent av global etterspørsel av litium i 2008. "På lengre sikt (2020) tror vi at produksjonen kan nå over 400 000 tonn, som med god margin møter våre forventninger knyttet til gradvis økende etterspørsel fra bilindustrien, sammen med vekst i andre sektorer," sier medforfatter Tom Astle, forskningssjef hos Dundee.

Rapporter fra de internasjonale konsulentene TRU Group og Roskill er også enige i at etterspørselen etter litium beveger seg mer mot teknologisk avanserte bruksområder, spesielt markedet for elektriske biler. De spår at etterspørsel etter litium på verdensbasis kommer til å tredobles innen det neste tiåret. Selv om det pågår en debatt om etterspørsel vil overgå tilgang, er det klart at litium og REE er ressurser man bør ha et blikk på. Ikke rart at nylige overskrifter som

"Leting etter litium intensiveres," "Firma planlegger å gjenåpne batterifabrikk," "Kawasaki sikter seg inn på undergrunnsbane som går på batterier," "Gull? Prøv litium isteden," og "Litium er bilverdenens nye olje", har fått investorer med teft til å sperre opp øynene.

Alle fire av International Lithium Corp.s eiendommer har betydelige fordeler, sier Ike Osmani, sjefsgeolog hos International Lithium; "De kan alle nås vis motorveier eller større tømmerveier. De ligger naer jernbanen, lastebilindustri og kraftlinjer. Samme hva du tenker på, all logistikken er til stede." Han peker også på den utmerkete fagutdannete og delvis faglaerte arbeidskraften i naerliggende samfunn som Thunder Bay, Nipigon, Kenora og Dryden. Støtte fra myndighetsinitiativer er viktig.

"Ontarios nettbaserte geologiske database er en stor fordel for oss fordi vi enkelt kan gå til nettstedet og finne all relevant geologisk informasjon. På forretningssiden er det gjennomstrømning av midler og skattebegunstigelser. De to tingene fungerer bra for unge selskaper som oss," sier Osmani.

Lenger unna har International Lithium Corp. eiendommer i Nevada, den sørøstlige delen av Irland og i Argentina. Firmaets globale omfang er en viktig del, ifølge Jerry Huang, som er konsernutviklingssjef i datterselskapet TNR Gold. "Vår hovedaksjonaer er basert i London, så de har veldig god tilgang til de viktigste investorene i Europa. Vi var i Asia nylig og var i kontakt med flere av storkonsernene. Et virkelig godt eksempel er de japanske bilprodusentene, som er på hugget nå og på utkikk etter å etablere gode forbindelser til de tidlige produsentene og letegrupper som har vaert på utkikk etter litium og REE." Han legger til at de er oppmuntret av nylig nord-amerikansk støtte til etablering av en "grønn" energiindustri som omfatter litium og REE-ressurser. "Videre fremover ser litiums fremtid ganske lys ut," sier Huan. "Vi ser mange firmaer som viser frem flotte resultater, blant annet vårt firma, og noen av prosjektene vi er mest begeistret for akkurat nå er i Ontario."
