Every analyst we speak to is still raving about the Lithium sector, and for good reason. Most people’s lives are affected by the lithium in one shape or another. If you’ve ever used a cell phone or PC, chances are you’ve benefited from this Energy Metal. Where does all this Lithium come from? A major […]
Lithium, Cobalt and Gold: Three Elements Fueling Tech Innovation + Portfolio Profits
Lithium, Cobalt and Gold: Three Elements Fueling Tech Innovation are all front and center for miners in Argentina There’s plenty of junior mining companies trying to get in on the Energy Metal hoorah these days. In any given week, we probably review over 100+ of these types of companies, because let’s face it, the Sector […]

How 3-D printed metals can be both strong and ductile
A new technique by which to 3D print metals, involving a widely used stainless steel, has been show to achieve exception levels of both strength and ductility, when compared to counterparts from more conventional processes. The findings, published in Materials Today, outline how a joint research team from the University of Birmingham, UK, Stockholm University, Sweden […]
What are manganese ore fines and how are they sintered?
Fines are the fine particles of manganese ore created when crushing manganese rocks. The fines are heated to sinter them (make them stick together, or become “agglomerated”). “The mines produce a lot of fines,” Hockaday explained. “But they can’t sell them, as furnaces won’t buy materials that are too fine.” So the mines separate out […]
A greener way to get lithium?
Sorbent could extract the battery material from geothermal power plant brine A newly improved sorbent could offer an environmentally friendly way to get lithium from a relatively untapped resource in the U.S.: the brine produced by geothermal power plants (Environ. Sci. Technol. 2017, DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.7b03464). These plants pump hot water from deep geothermal deposits and use it […]
