The upside of petrolithium, by Brent Wilson, CEO Galvanic Energy Since its inception, petrolithium has been showcased as an alternative to conventional lithium mining, which has faced greater environmental scrutiny in recent years. Touted for its minimal surface footprint, reduced carbon emissions and water recycling capabilities, petrolithium offers far-reaching benefits that are better aligned with the ultimate goals of electrification than historic mining approaches. Additionally, petrolithium unlocks vast amounts of untapped lithium in the US and Canada, lessening national dependency on foreign resources and reducing national security risks. Unlike the salt-laced playas of the Lithium Triangle of South America or the lithium-concentrated mineral veins of the Australian Outback, North America has an abundance of deep oil and gas reservoirs containing lithium-enriched brines. Although petrolithium resources have not been exploited in the past, they have long been considered. Given the rapid adoption and production of EVs and changing economics, as well as new major investments from an array of interested parties, it appears that the development of this critical resource has finally come. It will be exciting to see how it advances over the coming months and years, not only in North America but the rest of the world. https://lnkd.in/e6qqXmUc #petrolithium #lithium #criticalrawmaterials #batterymetals #exploration #USA #energytransition #oilandgas #oilandgasexploration #oilandgasindustry

Galvanic Energy CEO Brent Wilson examines the history and progression of #petrolithium exploration. What is petrolithium? With the rise of the #electric vehicle (EV), #lithium has been portrayed as ‘the new gasoline’ and ‘the new oil.’ However, these descriptors are merely illustrative and not intended to be taken literally. Likewise, the term ‘petrolithium’ is not intended to describe some sort of fuel or petroleum and lithium mixture, which can lead to confusion about the role of lithium and ion batteries. Rather, the term describes the coexistence of lithium in certain oilfield reservoirs or the operation of extracting lithium from brine solutions present in oilfields, not the separation of lithium from oil or other #hydrocarbons. #Petrolithium may have first been coined in 2016 by Jared Lazerson CEO and founder of MGX Minerals, a lithium mining startup company that once promoted the chemical extraction of lithium in #Alberta oilfield brines. The following year, Lazerson formed a company bearing the name (PetroLithium Corporation of America) to acquire mineral leases in #US oilfields. The term has since been used to describe other companies, including E3 Lithium and Standard Lithium, which are similarly focused on extracting lithium from North American oilfield brines.

LithiumBank announces largest-known high-grade lithium discoveries across North America. LithiumBank Resources has announced high-grade lithium resources of an estimated 10,078,000 tonnes of inferred Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) at a grade of 79.4 mg/L within the Leduc Formation. Furthermore, the Company has discovered 11,603,000 tonnes of inferred LCE at 80.9 mg/L high-grade lithium within the Swan Hills Fm aquifer underlying its 100% owned Park Place lithium brine project. Rob Shewchuk Chairman & CEO LithiumBank https://lnkd.in/eUJUvfmB #lithium #lithiumbatteries #energystorage #energytransition #criticalrawmaterials #USA #NorthAmerica The initial mineral resource estimate assessments were prepared by global technology company SLB (NYSE: SLB) using 3D static modelling mining workflows. These assessments were then used to determine the resource estimates and reviewed and validated by a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 of Canada.

This work has now culminated in 100% ownership of the largest LCE inferred mineral resource in North America and with the highest recorded lithium grade in Alberta,” said Rob Shewchuk, CEO of LithiumBank. He added: “The Park Place resource puts LithiumBank’s collective lithium brine resources inventory for the Company’s Alberta projects at 27.78 million tonnes LCE. This presents district scale potential opportunity for Canada to become a major supplier of lithium in North America.” Read the whole story here, at the Innovation News Network website: https://lnkd.in/eqFxex7z For more information on LithiumBank, visit their Innovation News Network Partner Profile: https://lnkd.in/eYZuzS4s #lithium #mining #esg #criticalrawmaterials #canada #batteries #evbatteries #alberta

Accelerate Resources Limited (ASX:AX8) has confirmed extended #lithium mineralisation at Prinsep Lithium Project in Western Australia's West Pilbara region, setting the stage for imminent drilling activities. Prinsep, conveniently situated near Karratha and in the same region as Azure Minerals' Andover discovery, has turned up some promising assay results from recent rock chip sampling, which point to potential within the burgeoning Karratha-Roebourne lithium belt. The latest sampling efforts have expanded the known lithium mineralisation trend to 1.5 kilometres along the northern pegmatite zone, with assays peaking at 1.51% lithium oxide (Li2O).

Lincoln Minerals Ltd Unveils Staged Development Strategy for Kookaburra Graphite Project (ASX: LML) CEO Jonathon Trewartha stated, “Lincoln’s Kookaburra Graphite Project is unique in Australia, in that it benefits from extremely high-grade graphite at surface, requiring no pre-strip, thanks to an orebody which literally sticks out of the ground. As an experienced mining project developer, it is clear to me that with a Mining Lease already approved and developing such high grades at the front end of the production schedule, means that Lincoln is likely to be able to generate attractive returns, even at low graphite prices.” “Our strategy to stage the development and initially to focus on the high grade at KGP will also allow us to progress to first ore potentially quicker than any other Australian project in Australia and enable Lincoln to deliver production-scale graphite concentrate for qualification in the EV markets while we plan the development of a larger project to feed the global demand for high quality anode material.” “We look forward to the results of our PFS to support our plans for KGP to be first to market in Australia, which would make it the preeminent graphite project, and we expect the outcome to attract significant interest in the project.” Read our article below: https://lnkd.in/gbXUbA9p #graphite #mining #resources #geology #stocks #lml #asx
