.....for their power plants in Canada......
ein sehr interessanter Artikel über die Autobauer-Konkurrenten von Tesla, die in Canada angesiedelt sind und händeringend nach Lithium dursten....ILC wird mit dem Mavis/Releigh-Projekt erwähnt und ebenso PIO....ich bin gespannt wenn es wieder in Mavis los geht...bleibt spannend.

I’m excited about Mavis et al. It seems like there are endless brine evaporation operations crawling towards production, and even though their Argentina brines are ILC’s main focus, there’s really nothing like smashing open a good pegmatite. The granite-like rock is formed as the final stage of magma crystallisation and is characterised by its very large crystals; it frequently contains sizeable precious stones and a variety of rare-earths from which ILC hopes to extract both the lithium and caesium that have been identified.
When rare-metal pegmatites solidify, the host rocks adjacent to the pegmatite may be enriched by the associated fluids, and what is known as a dispersion halo forms around the pegmatite body. Normally the extent of the rare-metal alteration halo is within a few meters of the pegmatite, but notably, the pegmatite belts at Mavis and Raleigh exhibit alteration halos in the order of tens of metres wide, representing some of the broadest and strongest host-rock lithium anomalies observed around the world.
A previous drill returned lithium concentrations as high as 3.08% in the Mavis Lake pegmatite, and we are hoping for further good news as the arctic temperatures at the site begin to subside this week, permitting work to continue.The budgeted exploration expenditures will be wholly funded by Pioneer as part of their earn-in on the project, and a $1 million budget has been allocated across both the Mavis and Raleigh projects.
Automakers with facilities in Ontario like GM, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler are all developing EV’s to compete with Tesla, and are currently sourcing lithium for their power plants. ILC’s focus on the area is no surprise then and with an established global lithium giant serving as advisor they are more likely to survive the winter than most.
