TNR Gold Mariana Lithium Royalty Holding Partner: "China's Ganfeng Lithium Inks 3-year Supply Contract With Tesla."

We extend our congratulations today to our Mariana Lithium Royalty Holding Partner - Ganfeng Lithium. Reuters reports: "China's Ganfeng Lithium inks 3-year supply contract with Tesla". 

We have discussed in depth here that Tesla Lithium supply lines are going all around the globe and back to China. Today we have another confirmation for the Ganfeng Lithium's status as a major leader in the technology of the reliable and sustainable production of battery-grade Lithium. 

Ganfeng is already supplying Lithium to Tesla, Volkswagen and BMW among many other battery producers and automakers. Reuters reports today that a new deal will be in place for Ganfeng and Tesla for another 3 years starting from 2022. 

Now Ganfeng's "Phase 1" plan for 20,000 T of LCE annual production at Mariana Lithium can be seen via the new perspective. The whole Lithium industry will be put to a major test of its ability to ramp up the supply of battery-grade Lithium just in a few years. 

"We are very pleased to see that this new plan represents a 100% increase of the 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."

 

Hopefully, "Phase 2" will be following after "Phase 1" at Mariana Lithium and it will potentially increase TNR Gold NSR Royalty Holding valuation and the potential future cash flow even more.    

All Lithium market was less than US$4 Billion in size just a year ago. Now Lithium price has tripled. Choose very wisely among the best lithium companies to participate in this generational investment trend.

Only about 369,000 T of LCE Lithium was produced in 2020. Now the industry has to jump to over 1 million T of Lithium production annually by 2025 just to keep Tesla headlines going. Who will have Lithium ready to feed it to the hungry autos at all-time high prices during the coming deficit years?

TNR Gold is plugged in Tesla Energy rEVolution with our NSR Royalty Holding on the entire Mariana Lithium Project with Ganfeng Lithium. In early October, Ganfeng Lithium Team in Argentina presented Mariana Lithium Project in Salta to the local government. 

A very important slide from the Ganfeng presentation for TNR Gold shareholders shows that this fantastic increase of 100% in planned lithium production rate is called now "Phase 1"!

I consider my personal investment in TNR Gold, as a unique entry point into the state of the art vertically integrated lithium business being built by Ganfeng Lithium for the 21st century. We are building The Green Energy Royalty and Gold Companyand participating in the creation of secure supply lines feeding The Switch and Tesla Energy rEVolution.

TNR Gold Royalty Holding Update: ILC Reports Ganfeng Subsidiary Litio Minera Argentina Assumes All Rights And Obligations In Respect Of Mariana Lithium.

Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman of the Company commented, “We are pleased with the great news regarding Ganfeng Lithium, our NSR Royalty holding and advance of the Mariana Lithium Project to construction. I am also very pleased to see that this deal between ILC and Ganfeng Lithium included confirmation that Ganfeng’s subsidiary, Litio Minera Argentina, assumes all rights and obligations that ILC had in respect of the Mariana Lithium Project, including in respect to TNR Gold NSR Royalty Holding. Ganfeng Lithium has now consolidated 100% of the Mariana Lithium Project and advanced it to the construction stage. 

This news comes after a 55% increase in the measured and indicated resource estimate from the previously announced 2020 increase of more than 250% in measured and indicated resources at the Mariana Lithium Project. We extend our congratulations to Ganfeng and salute the 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 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 the 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 the Mariana Project. The 2.0% Mariana NSR Royalty on the Mariana Project with Ganfeng Lithium is a very important part of TNR Gold’s portfolio, (TNR holds a 0.2% NSR on behalf of a shareholder). 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.”

China's Ganfeng Lithium Inks 3-year Supply Contract With Tesla

"BEIJING/HONG KONG, Nov 1 (Reuters) - China's Ganfeng Lithium Co Ltd and its unit GFL International Co Ltd have signed a contract to supply battery-grade lithium products to U.S. electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla Inc.

Ganfeng, the world's top lithium company by market capitalisation, has already supplied battery-grade lithium to EV producers including Tesla.

The new contract will allow the company and its unit to provide products to Tesla for three years starting from 2022, Ganfeng said on Monday in a filing to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

The sales amount and value of the contract are still pending Tesla's purchase orders, according to the filing.

Ganfeng has posted stellar earnings this year, with its third-quarter and nine-month net profits up 507% and 648% on an annual basis, respectively, thanks to rising lithium prices and robust demand. 

The Jiangxi-based firm also announced an 8.4 billion yuan ($1.31 billion) investment in two battery production projects in August. 

Ganfeng's share price, up more than 60% this year, closed at 162.1 yuan on Monday."
