Automakers under pressure to source local lithium

A You are receiving this email because you subscribed to SMH News.

(AMLI:US and LI:TSX) has two top-tier premium lithium deposits that set them apart from the rest of the crowd.   The TLC Project is the 2nd largest measured & indicated (M&I) lithium resource in the USA The Falchani Project is the 3rd largest hard rock lithium resource in the Americas   BONUS: It also just happens to own the 5th largest undeveloped uranium deposit in the world… but more on that later.   Three years ago, this company traded at a paltry fraction of where it sits now.   The TLC Project location near the town of Tonopah also means that infrastructure like highways, power, and water are all already available.   It's even located just 3.5 hours away by road from Tesla's Nevada gigafactory.   It's also just hours away from Nevada's largest claystone which recently received $650M from General Motors, mentioned above.   American Lithium Corp (AMLI.US) completed their maiden Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) just three months ago…   It gave TLC an NPV of USD$3.26 billion at an 8% discount rate and $20,000 lithium carbonate price.   Current prices are around $26,000, though they reached as high as $87,000 last year.   Marin Katusa, the legendary resource investor, just published a detailed analysis on the company.   Click here to get access to your full stock report.* IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER    *Note that we take your privacy very seriously.
