TNR Gold Royalty Holding: "The Operational Phase of the Ganfeng's Mariana Lithium Project Began"

We have our first great news delivered from Argentina for all TNR Gold shareholders in 2023. El Pregon Minera reports "The Operational Phase of Mariana Project Began"!

For all TNR Gold shareholders, the following chart from the Ganfeng Lithium presentation is particularly important. The production facilities of 20,000 T of Lithium Chloride per year are called "Phase 1".

TNR Gold is plugged into Tesla Energy rEVolution with our Royalty Holdings on the Mariana Lithium Project with Ganfeng Lithium. 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.

"Now we can discuss my quote from our News Release: "TNR Gold Updates on Royalty Holding On Ganfeng's Mariana Lithium By Partial NSR Sale To Lithium Royalty Corp For USD$9,000,000", and better understand why we can have potentially another unique entry point opportunity into our TNR Gold GEM Royalty Story provided by the ruthless Mr Market.

The future valuation of TNR Gold NSR Royalty on Mariana Lithium will depend on the Lithium price and the amount of production by these facilities. Lithium prices in China hit a new all-time high above USD$85,000 per T of LCE spot price and Ganfeng inaugurated Mariana Lithium construction last June with their USD$600 million investment plan to develop "Phase 1" facilities for 20,000 T of Lithium Chloride annual production starting in 2024.

With 0.45% NSR on Mariana Lithium left after Ganfeng would exercise their 1% NSR buyback right the potential future undiscounted pre-tax cash flow for TNR Gold generated from only this Royalty holding can represent the annual amounts which are higher than the total market cap of the Company today."

The Operational Phase of the Mariana Project Began

"Ganfeng Lithium announced that it began filling its first evaporation pool at the Mariana Project, starting a new instance in the process, and constituting a successful closing of 2022 with excellent development for the company. The Secretary of Mining and Energy Romina Sassarini highlighted the importance of one of the three projects under construction in the province ending the year entering the operational phase. “They are meeting the scheduled deadlines. Surely by the end of 2023 it will already be up and running, for the production of lithium carbonate”. “These activities have implied a great evaluation of the environmental impact reports by the interdisciplinary technical team of the Ministry of Mining and Energy, with the participation of the Ministry of Environment. As appropriate, a prior consultation was carried out with citizen participation and the public hearing that validated the entire process," explained the official.

This first pool is 50 hectares long and the big difference with all the other lithium projects in Salta is that it is built on the salt flat. This was the specific space that was identified by the company to protect sensitive environmental areas, in addition to complying with the mining and environmental regulations of the Province.

The pool is in optimal operating conditions, having passed all the necessary quality controls. Furthermore, this kick-off constitutes a learning curve for the pools that will continue to be deployed. The construction manager of the company for the Mariana Project, Sebastián Vaca, explained that with this the operation phase begins, "when the first pool begins to be filled, the pre-evaporation begins, and then the process continues in the salt flat. and culminate in our refining plant in General Güemes, in Salta”. The company highlighted the effort and commitment of both company employees and contractors to carry out this work, caring for the environment and respecting the rules to minimize impacts in the area.

We have a very important confirmation for all TNR Gold shareholders from Salta, Argentina. According to the publication of Cronica del NOA about the meeting between Ganfeng Lithium and the Governor of Salta Gustavo Saenz: "The Mariana project, which began construction last June, will start producing in 2024 an estimated 20 thousand tons per year of Lithium Chloride".

Ganfeng is increasing its commitment to Salta by acquiring additional Lithium projects and they are talking now about the plans for a total production of 45,000 T of LCE by 2025 in the province. Mariana Lithium Project is on track to start producing an estimated 20,000 T per year of Lithium Chloride in 2024. Ganfeng is investing US$600 million in Mariana Lithium Project including the processing plant in General Guemes.

Production facilities at Mariana Lithium will be powered by the 150MW Solar Farm, which is taking Ganfeng to a new level of the most advanced industry practices through its integration into the landscape of the latest Lithium mining and processing technologies powered by Renewable Energy in Argentina.

Lithium prices are hitting new all-time highs in China again this year after a brief consolidation. The future valuation of TNR Gold NSR Royalty on Mariana Lithium will depend on the Lithium price and the amount of production by these facilities.

Between the two, it will be able to produce 45 thousand tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) per year by 2025.

As announced by the businessmen, the PPG mine, which has a capacity of 25,000 tons of LCE according to technical reports, would start production in 2025. While the Mariana project, which began construction last June, will start producing in 2024 an estimated 20 thousand tons per year of Lithium Chloride.
