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.”

Chasing Crypto Dragons And The World Just Before The Internet: "I Pump, But I Don't Dump" - Tesla Energy rEVolution And Lithium.

 


"I pump, but I don't dump" - this now infamous joke which was casually told by Elon Musk during his Bitcoin meet up with Jack Dorsey has saved a lot of traders chasing their Dreams with Crypto Dragons. Elon has ignited the leg up into the major Double Top Reversal for the Bitcoin market.

Chart by CryptoWhale

All Crypto traders must be grateful to Elon, despite his apparent "heresy" for a lot of Bitcoin maximalists. He has provided all of them with another opportunity to really study the subject of their passion and, maybe, take another look at the risk-reward proposition of the modern Pump and Dump EcoSystems. 


I really liked our conversation with Dale Pinkert and, hopefully, you can find it helpful, as well. All geniuses are fighting their demons and some of them are doing it very publicly and even taking SEC as a witness. But the main message here is that genius of Elon Musk made electric cars happen. The Switch is here when millions of people are switching to EVs. We are talking about "The World Just Before The Internet" and Mr Market's Time Machine. 


Today our conversation is about how not to get lost among all trading noise and how to avoid "The Digital Divide" separating you and your hard-earned money. Pump and Dump schemes are proliferating all markets and, hopefully, this video and my articles below can help you not only identify the generational investment opportunity in the Tesla Energy rEVolution, but also chose the right companies to invest in


Lithium is the magic metal at the very heart of this rEVolution, TNR Gold has found it many years ago and now Ganfeng Lithium is developing our giant Mariana Lithium Brine Project with their US$600 million investment plan. Do your own research, stay safe and prosper. Join the rEVolution.     




TNR Gold NSR Royalty Holding: "Celebration Of Pachamama" - Ganfeng Lithium Rolls Out US$600M Investment Plan, Increases Its Stake In Mariana Lithium Over 91.3%.




We extend our congratulations today to Ganfeng Lithium - Mariana Lithium Project is moving fast forward in Argentina:

"Last week in Mariana, our employees held a celebration of Pachamama, and the ritual is to thank the earth for all of what we receive from it. We always care about environmental protection and sustainability, and this local tradition embodies the ideas that we respect" 
Ganfeng Lithium September 3, 2021 



Digital Divide And Dancing Tesla Robots On FSD: Lithium Will Power Us For The Next 50 Years And Then Robots.


 


Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman of the Company commented, “I am very pleased to see this 55% increase in measured and indicated resources after the previously announced in 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 on the 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 that 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 disclosed in a news release following its discussions with Ganfeng that the likely project expenditure from now to bring the Mariana Project to full production is around US$600 million.

TNR Gold 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 potentially diluted ownership in the Mariana Project. The 1.8% Mariana NSR Royalty 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.”





The Robots are here. They can be seen like dancing on LFSD for now but do not miss the tectonic shift, generational investment opportunity and The Switch. Electric Cars are here. We can be questioning the focus of Tesla, the timing of real delivery and the safety of FSD, but we are not questioning the existence of electric cars as a wonderful product anymore as a species. Millions of consumers are making The Switch and buying electric cars all over the world. 


The magic metal Lithium is at the very heart of this Tesla Energy rEVolution. Now the most important part of our vision for the World Just Before The Internet will be not to participate ourselves in a digital divide separating us and our money. Energy rEVolution provides a lot of opportunities and Lithium is trending worldwide these days. 


Now investors should be very careful and selective in order not to miss this opportunity and separate the real Lithium companies from the companies with lithium left in their name only. Be very careful chasing your Dragons in the Pump and Dump stocks, with insiders Dumping into the Pumps and diluting all other shareholders with their pyramids of convertible loans. Think twice, if MD&A and financials of the junior mining company look like a statement of an overleveraged hedge fund run by the banksters and you can hardly understand anything.  


Avoid at any cost flying with kamikaze pilots. Just remember, that Panda Squeeze can be as deadly as Dragon's kiss. Check carefully who owns what, who has the money and expertise to keep their stakes going and develop the projects. Your careful examinations of financials, insiders and real Lithium resources during your own research can help you to avoid becoming a victim of another round of Pump and Dump this summer. Our industry needs investors for the best Lithium companies and your money deserves your respect.


In our particular case, TNR Gold has found Lithium a long time ago and is plugged into Tesla Energy rEVolution with our NSR Royalty Holding on the entire Mariana Lithium Project under the management of the giant Ganfeng Lithium. We do not have to contribute any capital, our Lithium resources are growing and Ganfeng Lithium is investing US$600 million in Mariana Lithium with the approved 20,000 T of LCE Lithium production facility in Salta, Argentina


My presentations and links below can illustrate to you why our Team at TNR Gold is so excited with all recent developments in the Lithium space for our company. Do your own research, stay safe and prosper. Join The Energy rEVolution

TNR Gold Royalty On Los Azules Copper, Gold and Silver Project - Rob McEwen Video About McEwen Copper: "The Argentinian Government Is Keen To See This Project Put Forward".

 


I am very pleased to see this very exciting and significant development for the Los Azules Copper Project and personal support by Rob McEwen of the newly created McEwen Copper,” stated Kirill Klip, TNR’s Executive Chair. “It’s very encouraging to see the personal commitment from Rob McEwen to advance the rapid development of this giant copper, gold and silver deposit in an appropriate corporate structure which will allow financing and further development of the Los Azules Copper Project.

 


TNR Gold holds a 0.36% NSR royalty on the entire Los Azules project containing copper, gold and silver metals. TNR Gold does not have to contribute any capital for the development of the Los Azules Copper Project. The essence of our business model is to have industry leaders like McEwen Mining as operators on the projects that will potentially generate royalty cashflows to contribute significant value for our shareholders.”

 



I would like to share with you today this video with Rob McEwen presenting McEwen Copper. Now you can better understand the magnitude of the giant Los Azules Copper, Gold and Silver Project and its place among other copper projects in the world. 


Rob McEwen gives a very clear picture of enormous copper price leverage for Los Azules. The main message from Rob: "Get ready for the coming tsunami of inflation. Buy gold, silver and commodities." You have to listen to Rob himself about the future of copper and electric cars which are driving Tesla Energy rEVolution. 


McEwen Copper has just reported about Rob McEwen investment of US$40 million of his own money. Now the project will be moving fast forward with the 53,000 (!) meters of the new drilling program and all year round access which will be provided by the new road. This giant project can, hopefully, grow even larger and we can expect a lot of news for TNR Gold coming from Los Azules in the months to come. The most important message from Rob today: "The Argentian government is keen to see this project put forward".


TNR Gold is plugged into Tesla Energy rEvolution with our NSR Royalty Holdings in Lithium on Mariana Lithium under Ganfeng Lithium Operation and in Copper, Gold and Silver on Los Azules Project with McEwen Mining. We do not have to contribute any capital for the development of these giant projects and TNR Gold can appreciate all upside in the prices of the metals containing in these projects, growth of resources and improved extraction technologies. This is what I personally call "The Real Option  On The Tesla Energy rEVolution Without Time Decay"

Chart by NorthStar

The entry point of any of your investment decisions will define the probability of their success. Only sometimes ruthless Mr Market can provide to the smart investors the opportunity to use The Time Machine - when you can find a unique entry point into the investment Story when you are buying the better business at the better price. Only you can find this unique investment opportunity for yourself.


"In order to better understand my discussion about the Mr Market's Time Machine and "the unique entry point in the companies with a better business being on sale at a better price" you should study deal on Taca Taca Copper NSR Royalty and run some numbers applicable to Los Azules:


"TNR Gold receives a very good valuation benchmark for our Royalty Holding on the entire giant Los Azules Copper Project which is being developed by the legendary Rob McEwen. All our long-term followers remember that McEwen Mining was stating in their news releases that "Taca Taca serves as a good proxy for the value of Los Azules".

McEwen Mining Chairman, Chief Owner and CEO Rob McEwen said: "With First Quantum acquiring Lumina Copper and their Taca Taca project, Los Azules moves to the forefront in terms of world-class, undeveloped, high-grade copper assets not owned by a major mining company. As we have said in the past, Taca Taca serves as a good proxy for the value of Los Azules and we believe this transaction demonstrates value in projects located in Argentina." 

Now deal by Nova Royalty provides all our devoted followers with more information to crunch the numbers and arrive at their own conclusions about the potential valuations for TNR Gold. Below you can find more information for your own research."

 


Now it is time for you to make your own research and find out why NovaGold is holding its stake in TNR Gold. I am the largest shareholder of our Company and have participated in all TNR Gold private placements. Other insiders have joined me and now all insiders and NovaGold are holding a major stake in our Company.
