🚀 A major win for the future of electric mobility across Michigan! The $145M U.S. Department of Energy grant awarded to Revex Technologies for the REV Nickel Project is a game-changer in making electric transportation truly sustainable. From electric cars and buses to e-bikes and other forms of electric mobility, this project is set to drive greener innovation across the state by focusing on the critical challenge of battery recycling. 🔋🌱 Partnering with Eagle Mine, this initiative will recover valuable minerals like nickel, cobalt, and lithium from discarded batteries and mine tailings, ensuring that these essential resources are reused, not wasted. With the growing adoption of electric mobility statewide, from public transit in urban areas to electric trucks and fleets in rural regions, securing a domestic supply of recycled minerals is key to reducing environmental impact and lowering costs. This effort not only supports Michigan’s leadership in the electric vehicle industry but also fosters job creation and sustainable practices, reinforcing the state’s commitment to building a future powered by clean energy. 🚗🚌🚲 From Detroit to Marquette, this project paves the way for a more sustainable and resilient electric mobility ecosystem across Michigan! ⚡💚 #ElectricMobility #EV #SustainableTransportation #BatteryRecycling #GreenEnergy #MichiganInnovation #CircularEconomy #CleanFuture

Gold price as of September averaged at US$1,931.0 per ounce which is 7.0 per cent above the 2023 Budget estimate and 6.0 per cent above the 2022 levels for the same period. 1000 4500 8000 11500 50000 150000 250000 350000 Sep-19 Sep-20 Sep-21 Sep-22 Sep-23 US$ per tonne Copper Stock (LHS) Copper Price (RHS) Tonnes 2024 National Budget, Volume 1 28 This was primarily driven by higher price levels during the first quarter of 2023 as the safe haven property of gold gained momentum amid the uncertainty surrounding the global economic prospects, the slower-than-expected recovery of China and the war uncertainty in Ukraine. However, an elevated US Dollar and Treasury yields amid continuous interest rate hikes in the US, coupled with market sentiments of further interest rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve has kept a lid on prices. The outlook for gold price remains partial but is tilted more to the upside as the expectations surrounding further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve is expected to lose its steam thus making gold an attractive safe haven avenue for investors as fresh geo-political tensions and crisis in the heats up coming months. Also, a slight retreat in the US Dollar amid positive US inflation data and the ongoing property crisis in China could support gold as investors are expected to shift their investments from other assets such as real estate to gold in the coming months. Against this backdrop, the gold price is estimated to average around US$1,918.0 per ounce in 2023, which is 7.0 per cent and 6.0 per cent above the 2023 Budget estimate and 2022 prices, respectively. -Source (2024 National Budget Vol-1)

Exciting developments are underway in the heartland as Stardust Power, Inc. unveils plans to forge the "first vertically integrated domestic supply chain for rare earth elements" in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The establishment of a large-scale lithium refinery in the United States marks an important step in addressing US national security, global competitiveness, and resilience. Iron Prairie not only recognizes the significance of this move but also interprets it as compelling evidence showcasing the Midwest's skilled workforce and its intermodal freight transport infrastructure. It underscores the Midwest's role in digital transformation across crucial sectors such as manufacturing, infrastructure, and construction. The region stands at the forefront, driving innovation and shaping the future landscape of industrial advancement.

REV Nickel Project on yksi USA:n energiaministeriön valitsemista "strategisista hankkeista", joille myönnettiin viime viikolla avustuksia: "We’re excited to announce a significant development for Eagle Mine, made possible through our partnership with Revex Technologies. A recent $145 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) was awarded to Revex Technologies for the REV Nickel Project. Eagle Mine plays a pivotal role in this innovative effort, which could have lasting benefits for our operations, workforce, and the local economy. ...The REV Nickel Project is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at producing nickel concentrate and other critical minerals from metal-bearing waste streams, such as discarded mine tailings and spent lithium-ion batteries. Our involvement in this project not only aligns with our commitment to sustainability but also secures Eagle Mine’s future as a leading source of U.S.-produced critical minerals. ...The award is subject to several terms and conditions that will need to be negotiated and finalized prior to funds being made available."  #kriittisetmateriaalit #nikkeli #yhdysvallat #DOE #rahoitus https://lnkd.in/d3KSpJvY

Time for contrarian investors to start the journey. There is no doubt the recent sentiment in the Lithium market has led to over exacibated sell downs in multiple companies, with Green Technology Metals being a strong example. With our strategy set and pathway to production gathering momentum we are well placed for strong growth into the next cycle. Get on board! #lithium #evmetals #ontario

We need to acknowledge this is true, then build an actual policy that allows mineral exploitation at the lowest environmental cost possible. It will not be zero. However locking up minerals comes at a cost as well.

Let's talk about some U.S regulatory issues regarding the production of lithium. aka...water use Utah, being the current hot topic now that they've begun to tighten restrictions. Royalty based production reads nicely on a page or screen, but how does paper turn into water at 4000'? Very recently 2 significant events came out of the Western United States and for once (finally) it's not deriving from the Imperial Valley. One day, a company withdraws its interests completely from the project the next, another company advertises it plans to drain the entire lake. Inconsistent is an understatement. Meanwhile, the Silver Peak project is continuing to plan and execute its expansion wells out in Nevada. https://lnkd.in/gPC8Tnm9 #lithium #dle #waterconservation
