Posted by andre at 1:00 PMOne more auto house name is charging into Lithium space - Volvo is still popular as a solid family car. The more models - the better and faster will be market penetration. With other technologies still in the lab Lithium batteries has became industry standard for Electric cars.
For those who is interested in Zinc Air batteries Canada Zinc Metals CZX.v will be the next Eldorado:
"Now we have not only a solid Zinc recovery play with strong cash position in a district with potential of 100 mil ton with further exploration, but dynamic M&A front runner of Chinese giant looking for further opportunities. Quick move has secured options opened in new hot area of Lithium and REE in International Lithium corp. and CEO CZX.v has opened space for speculation with his comment on Los Azules. Is Tongling up to the Xstrata's plate? Rob McEwen will be another name to mention in this context. Company now have positioned itself for dynamic recovery in Chinese production cycle even with shaky general markets in Zinc. Strategy looks like Investment expansion:Tongling - Canada Zinc Metals - District play with TEC and Korea Zinc - Lundin Mining on board - Zinc and Lead - Cars - Growth space: China largest auto market from March - New Bull - Electric cars - Lithium and REE - TNR Gold and International Lithium Corp."
"Significant shareholders of Canada Zinc Metals include Lundin Mining Corp. (TSX: LUN) and Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group Holdings Co. Ltd."
