Building A Green Energy Metals Royalty Co. TNR Gold: The Battery Boom Has Created A New Lithium Superpower In China.

Thank you, David Stringer, for your interest in our story and our congratulations go today to Ganfeng Lithium Team celebrating their IPO in Hong Kong! 

“They understood so many years back -- in the early 2000s -- that lithium would be driving all of the green energy revolution,” said Kirill Klip, a former executive with Ganfeng’s first overseas partner, International Lithium Corp., who joined the working party in Ireland. “It’s a very hands-on approach, literally -- they were working with our geologists turning over rocks, studying all the lithium boulders,” said Klip, now executive chairman of TNR Gold Corp. Bloomberg.

At TNR Gold we are moving forward and building A Green Energy Metals Royalty Company by expanding our capital base and business model. Our Royalty with ILC on Mariana Lithium project in Argentina, which is being developed by Ganfeng Lithium, is among core potential royalty streams in our Royalty Portfolio. This is the essence of our business model when industry leaders like Ganfeng and McEwen Mining are the operators on the projects which will potentially generate royalty streams for our Company.

We are back on the circuit and after crystallizing our Team at TNR Gold with appointments of Natalia Lobanova and John Davies to the Board we have the appropriate diversity, depth of necessary skills and financial expertise to make our dreams happen. Greg Johnson, one of the founders of NovaGold, will be the best expert to tell you the future of the Shotgun Gold project in Alaska and John Davies is building up our Capital Markets and Blockchain Technology aspirations. 

Like in 2008 when at TNR Gold we were building International Lithium portfolio, now it is time to study, build our network and educate the market about the new frontiers. Honor, Commitment and Loyalty: the drive which has made John Davies The Mentor - will always attract the High-Frequency Energy which is connecting our Team. Everything that cannot stand the power of light will be left in the dust. These core values demand a lot of very hard work and will be the best compass to navigate us towards new and exciting grounds of the future when Green Energy rEVolution will be merging with Blockchain Technology, making many dreams possible.

Everything is not so difficult in the end, the future is already here, we just have to remember it.

The Battery Boom Has Created A New Lithium Superpower In China.

Ganfeng Lithium and International Lithium staff members on a visit to Ireland to study prospective sites in 2013.

"With a ruined 13th Century castle, the Irish town of Carlow is an unlikely staging post in the super-charged rise of a key player in China’s push to dominate the global electric-vehicle revolution. 

Ganfeng Lithium Co. sent a team to the town -- a 90-minute drive southwest of Dublin -- in 2013, shuttling between prospective lithium deposits dotted through the verdant countryside. It was part of their company’s first foray outside China amid a drive to boost production of key materials needed to make rechargeable batteries. 

With projects and partnerships now spanning South America to Australia, Ganfeng is aiming to use proceeds from a share sale in Hong Kong this week to continue a growth spree that’s forecast to make it the industry’s second-largest producer from this year. 

“They understood so many years back -- in the early 2000s -- that lithium would be driving all of the green energy revolution,” said Kirill Klip, a former executive with Ganfeng’s first overseas partner, International Lithium Corp., who joined the working party in Ireland. “It’s a very hands-on approach, literally -- they were working with our geologists turning over rocks, studying all the lithium boulders,” said Klip, now executive chairman of TNR Gold Corp. 

Since that Irish expedition, Ganfeng’s share of refined lithium output has jumped from about 6 percent in 2013 to an estimated 11 percent this year, according to Roskill Information Services Ltd. It accounts for about a quarter of battery-grade lithium hydroxide, the material that’s now most sought after by automakers, the researcher’s data shows." Read more.

Green Metals For Tesla Energy rEVolution And FinTech: Blockchain Looks Set to Disrupt Traditional Mining Industry.

We have another report promising the disruption for the mining industry by the implementation of the smart contracts based on Blockchain Technology. Access to the capital allocated to crypto space can be even more important subject for Green Metals like Copper and Lithium and junior miners developing new projects to feed the Tesla Energy rEVolution.

We have discussed here at length the importance of mining, commodity cycles and starving for the capital junior mining industry. On another hand, billions of dollars are still chasing crypto coins' bubbles and maturing crypto industry is subject to new scrutiny and regulations when hundreds of ICOs cannot show any real utility and value to support their real-life valuations. Building a new efficient mechanism to transfer the capital which is already available for the new blockchain applications into the real industrial investments like mining can be the answer to the important question what is coming next after the initial crypto hype will be gone.

Can we start talking about decentralized sources of capital for mining as well now? For us, at TNR Gold, the most interesting subject now is to build the access to the capital which is already allocated to the crypto space and plugging our company into participating in the "crypto capitalism movement" as Mark Yusko calls it, which is already opening new sources of capital. We are aiming with John Davies, TNR Gold Director: Capital Markets and Blockchain Technology - to navigate through all hype with scam ICOs and hundreds of coins which are dead already and mapping the landscape of the most trusted participants in this market. 

The idea is simple but successful solving of this problem can be Company building for us: how can we link Solid Values which are provided by mining which is powering Green Energy rEVolution and capital allocated to Blockchain FinTech? You already know about our GEM Royalty Portfolio, which will provide potentially cash flows from projects producing copper and lithium. Now is the next stage for building up the new capital base and multiplying our Green Energy Metals Royalties.

Tesla Energy rEVolution And FinTech: How Blockchain Will Transform The Mining And Metals Industry.

Our ability to cross this "digital divide" and connect capital chasing crypto bubbles with solid values provided by mining industry can determine the geopolitical future for many sectors of the evolving technologies like Solar, Wind, Energy Storage and Electric Cars. The alternative will be the Oligopolies controlling the supply of the critical commodities created by States and Sovereign funds backed by those states.

John Davies and I have started this conversation, which I would like to share with you today. The article below by Max Weiland provides some general ideas for integrating blockchain technology into the mining industry. I am personally very excited to explore these new opportunities which we can bring to our GEM Royalty TNR Gold. We would like to go further and find the way to engineer products which will be connecting capital allocated for FinTech sector and solid values provided by our potential Royalty cash flow streams in the future.  This will be the ultimate "Time Arbitrage". We are open to all new ideas and partnerships. Please step in and share your ideas - you know where to find us.

Here’s How Blockchain Will Remove Inefficiencies in Global Mining Supply Chains 

A report published yesterday by international law firm White & Case claims that blockchain technology could help improve transparency and remove inefficiencies from the global mining supply chain. It states that the industry’s adoption of the innovation backing Bitcoin is a matter of “when, not if.”

The report was produced by Rebecca Campbell and Andrzej Omietański of White & Case. Titled “Digitalising the mining & metals global supply chain: Rise of blockchain and the smart contract,” it explores the various ways in which the supply chain of various mined materials could be improved using blockchain technology.

During the report, definitions of both blockchain technology and smart contracts are offered up before each of the related technology’s potential to impact on the mining industry is assessed.

The authors state:

“With today’s pressured margins, inflationary costs and murmurs that the hard-won productivity gains of recent times may be eroding mining companies are looking for ways to improve efficiencies.”

They then go on to state that using blockchain technology used to track mining supply chains could increase transparency in the industry, as well as helping to eliminate fraud.

Meanwhile, in the section dedicated to smart contract technology, the authors state that blockchain-based contracts could be used to fund mining operations – in much the same way as they have been used to fund various companies using initial coin offerings (ICOs) – or by helping to alleviate disputes between parties:

“Moving contracts onto a blockchain will not in itself prevent disputes, but it may help arrive at a mathematically certain set of facts, which could be used to prove a chain of events with a high degree of certainty in the event of a later dispute.”

The report then addresses the various challenges that blockchain and smart contract technology faces before it is widely adopted in the mining industry. One of the major concerns for the authors is whether smart contracts would need to be assembled by lawyers or computer scientists. The recent case of the EOSBet smart contract hack suggests that perhaps a mix of both professionals would likely be preferable.

Whilst the White & Case report seems optimistic about the use of blockchain in the monitoring of global supply chains, the CEO of Tradeshift stated this week that the technology is by no means ready for the kind of scale required for such tasks.

Like Campbell and Omietański, Christian Lanng believes that the innovation could have a dramatic impact on the way supply chains are operated. However, he does contend that it will only really take off in the next five to 10 years, rather than the immediacy implied in the White & Case document."

Tesla Energy rEVolution And Green Energy Metals: John Davies - Ultimately Great Returns Come To Those That Understand Business Cycles, Carefully Develop A Tactical Plan And Implement At Or Near The Bottom.

"One of the greatest issues of investing is recognising cycles and rather than joining fellow investors near the end of the movement it is critical to position oneself as the shift begins. Much has been said of this for as long as there has been a marketplace but ultimately great returns come to those that understand business cycles, carefully develop a tactical plan and implement at or near the bottom. Certainly this is no easy feat and in widest majority of cases, it is the stuff of legends to be ahead of the curve.  

Only in the rarest of situations is it obvious to foresee a coming shift and that is the precise point in time many believe what is occurring today in the metals industry.  

Our world is going through enormous technological shifts along with tremendous infrastructure needs. From each corner of the globe, whether the growth of the ‘EV revolution’ and related battery storage sector that China is leading within investment research, to the ‘green energy’ movement to supply the world environmentally sustainable solutions, and of course cyclical infrastructure requirements, each places enormous demands upon mining. 

These advancements have the potential to significantly progress our world and help improve standard of life and share a common denominator: 

Mining.  

Whether one is considering bellwether copper, lithium, nickel and cobalt needs in the ‘EV revolution’, zinc and vanadium as it relates to infrastructure and possibly batteries, or many other metals, none of it is possible without mining.  

In the coming decade, the resources required from many of these innovations, including but not limited to the metals noted above, will be put to the supply side test and many experts suggest prices will escalate considerably.  

Yet mining investment has not kept pace with forecasted demands and recent retracements, brought on in part due to concerns of a global trade war, have in fact exacerbated the problem and increased the potential of significant upward price shocks.  

For investors it is crucial to see ahead of this curve, to be strategically sound contrarian with a long term approach and, to borrow upon a term from chess, see the move before the move.  

At TNR Gold, our team has the winning strategy to see that move before the move and will constantly strive to build value for our long term shareholders."

Green Energy Metals Royalty Co. TNR Gold: Mariana Lithium And Ganfeng - Chinese Lithium Giant Agrees Three-Year Pact To Supply Tesla.

We have discussed a lot with you here our Green Energy Metals Royalty Co. vision and the world-class assets in TNR Gold Royalty Portfolio. The new presentation by Rob McEwen has properly introduced you to "the sleeping giant" Los Azules Copper with McEwen Mining as the operator. TNR Gold holds NSR Royalty on the entire project. This is the essence of our business model when industry leaders are operators on the world-class projects providing us in the future with the potential cash flow royalty streams. Today our Lithium Story comes back to life. 

TNR Gold has founded International Lithium Corp in 2009 and now we hold NSR Royalty on Mariana Lithium project in Argentina where Ganfeng Lithium is the operator. Our strategic priority is to protect this holding. News about Ganfeng and Tesla lithium supply deal confirms our long discussions on this blog about the security of supply for critical metals for Tesla Green Energy rEVolution. 

Finally, Tesla is coming to secure the lithium supply from the real source. There is some information that this deal is not new news and part of the Ganfeng IPO PR promotion, but it is not so important here. The logic was quite straightforward: Ganfeng supplies lithium to Panasonic, Panasonic supplies Tesla with lithium cells. Now Tesla will receive lithium supply directly from Ganfeng. 

Ganfeng's IPO in Hong Kong will start another chapter for this company, hopefully, Mariana Lithium will have its important place in that book as well. TNR Gold Royalty model secures the exposure to Green Energy Metals like Copper and Lithium without any additional allocation of capital and industry leaders like McEwen Mining and Ganfeng Lithium provide necessary de-risking profiles to our holdings. Our congratulations go to the hard-working teams at Ganfeng Lithium and Tesla today!

Crossing The Digital Divide From Mining To Tesla Energy rEVolution: CleanTechnica - Blockchain Is A Clean Tech Innovation Catalyst.

CleanTechnica is calling Blockchain a Clean Tech Catalyst in the new report and it is time to learn this technology in depth. The most important message is that after all crypto haze and related bubbles this technology will stay and enable the very rapid advance of decentralized systems including decentralized generation of energy using solar and wind, its storage using lithium batteries and smart grids which will be connecting all these systems. 

Can we start talking about decentralized sources of capital for mining as well now? For us, at TNR Gold, the most interesting subject now is to build the access to the capital which is already allocated to the crypto space and plugging our company into participating in the "crypto capitalism movement" as Mark Yusko calls it, which is already opening new sources of capital.

CleanTechnica:

Blockchain Is A Clean Tech Innovation Catalyst.

"With the rise of the Internet of Things, it’s tempting to assume that centralized, cloud-based supercomputing will serve as the “brains” for the future grid. Yet this approach has two crucial shortcomings for running critical energy infrastructure. Firstly, centralized supercomputing is relatively and unacceptably insecure, with a single point of failure vulnerable to cyber or other attack. Secondly, a world of ubiquitous devices will surely surpass the capacity of centralized computing to manage all those resources. (Analyst McKinsey forecasts by 2020 — two short years away — the world could already have 30 billion connected IoT devices.)

There is another, better way: blockchain. De- spite the current mania — thanks in large part to blockchain’s association with the cryptocurrency craze — the cleantech industry should pay attention.

Blockchain’s attributes make it particularly well suited to cleantech’s needs. Blockchains are a form of distributed ledger. They are heavily decentralized, with identical copies of the ledger residing on many independent computers around the world. Those computers cross-validate blocks of transactions and agree to add them to the ledger, making blockchains especially secure against corruption. This low-cost, flexible, scalable software — and the smart contracts and transactions it supports — can empower utilities, grid operators, major corporations, communities, and everyday energy prosumers like you and me (i.e., individuals). We will all play an increasingly important role in the future grid." Read more.
