Lithium hits new all-time high in China supercharging M&A activity in Argentina for the best lithium brine projects. CATL bought out Millenial Lithium and Zijin Mining has announced the acquisition of Neo Lithium.
Ganfeng Lithium has consolidated 100% of the Mariana Lithium Project and moving it fast forward towards construction with its US$600 million investment plan. TNR Gold is plugged into Tesla Energy rEVolution with our NSR Royalty Holding on the entire Mariana Lithium Project.
TNR Gold Corp's Kirill Klip Presents Ganfeng’s US$600 Million Investment Plan For Mariana Lithium Project In Argentina.
"Electric cars are taking over our streets one by one. Everybody is talking about lithium now. There are a lot of dreams about lithium - we are in the solid lithium business with one of the largest lithium companies in the world - a giant from China Ganfeng Lithium. We have found our lithium a long time ago and now TNR Gold is holding NSR Royalty on the entire Mariana Lithium Project in Argentina, which is moving fast into the construction phase with Ganfeng's US$600 million investment plan."Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman
TNR Gold Corp.
TNR Gold Announces Advancement Of Mariana Lithium Project To Construction By Ganfeng Lithium.
Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman of the Company commented, “We are pleased with the great news when it comes to Ganfeng Lithium and the Mariana Lithium Project. I am also very pleased to see that Ganfeng Lithium has consolidated 100% of the Mariana Lithium Project and advanced it to the construction stage. This news comes after a 55% increase in measured and indicated resources following the previously announced 2020 increase of more than 250% in measured and indicated resources from the 2017 resource estimate at Mariana Lithium Project. We extend our congratulations to Ganfeng and salute to people of Argentina on the celebration of ‘Pachamama’ – the ritual that thanks the earth for all that we receive from it. This ritual was performed at Mariana Lithium in September after successful approval of the Environmental Impact Report by the Salta regional government in Argentina and granted approvals for the construction of a plant with a designed annualized capacity of 20,000 tonnes per annum of lithium chloride.
We are very pleased to see that this new plan represents a 100% increase of previously planned lithium annual production rate presented in the Mariana Project preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”), announced in our news release of January 28, 2019. It was the first PEA on the project and provided a potential value for the total NSR Royalty from Mariana’s life of mine cashflow, which has now been very significantly increased.
We welcome the news from the Salta regional government following its discussions with Ganfeng that the likely project expenditure to bring the Mariana Project to full production is approximately US$600 million.
TNR does not have to contribute any capital for the development of Mariana and our NSR Royalty does not depend on the size of ILC’s diluted ownership in the Mariana Lithium Project. The 1.8% Mariana NSR Royalty on the entire Mariana Lithium Project is a very important part of TNR Gold’s portfolio. The essence of our business model is to have industry leaders like Ganfeng Lithium as operators on the projects that will potentially generate royalty cashflows to contribute significant value for our shareholders.”
