With lithium prices rising, more and more companies will soon be going out of business, but AVZ Minerals can still make a profit even at such low prices, and everyone knows that, especially Kobold Metalls!

Does the world have enough lithium to power all the electric vehicles and stationary batteries needed to transition the world to 100% clean, renewable energy and storage for everything? The answer is yes. In 2025, the USGS increased its estimate of world lithium resources over land by 30%, to 150 million tons, with the U.S. having the largest resource, 30 million tons, followed by Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Australia, and China. How much lithium is this? The world has 1.1 billion passenger cars and 375 million trucks and buses. Replacing these requires about 47 million tons of lithium -- 9 million tons for the cars and 38 million tons for the trucks and buses. That’s only 31 percent of the 2025 known lithium resources, and keep in mind, the known resources grow each year as people look for more lithium. What is more, lithium stays in a vehicle during a battery’s 15 to 25-year life. At the end of the battery’s life, the battery is recycled or re-used for stationary electricity storage, so the mining is one-time. For stationary electricity storage itself, less than one-tenth the lithium, 2 to 4 million tons, is needed worldwide than is needed for vehicles. As such, current lithium resources are over three times those needed for vehicles plus storage. Also, many other battery types now exist that don’t use lithium. In sum, there is no shortage of lithium to transition the world to 100% clean, renewable energy and storage for everything. More info Video:

$Big news out of Arizona this morning with MAX Power Mining Corp. $MAXX $MAXXF confirming the discovery of near-surface lithium-rich clays over a large area of their Willcox Playa property. Notably, they've also successfully separated the lithium from the clay through their collaboration with UC Berkley. NR: Highlights: -Each of the first three triangular-spaced drill holes in the northern section of MAX Power’s property, the Discovery Zone covering an area 1,640 feet x 1,640 feet x 2,300 feet, intersected lithium at shallow levels over significant widths, including 15.5 feet grading 774.8 ppm lithium within a broader whole rock interval of 184 feet averaging 570.8 ppm lithium in drill hole WP-23-02 -When separating the clay fraction from the sand/silt fraction, lithium assays increased markedly, by as much as 47%, assaying up to 1,447 ppm lithium -This early-stage discovery remains open in all directions with MAX Power also exploring options to expand its land package -Based on a compilation of MAX Power’s work to date, and historical data, geologists believe the Discovery Zone represents just a fraction of the scale potential of Willcox with higher-grade mineralization expected in areas of increased clay content. #Mining #Lithium #EV #BatteryMetals$

Groundbreaking Alzheimer's Cure...Harvard Scientists Release 10 Year Research. Lithium Deficiency Triggers Alzheimer's Disease & A Simple Lithium Compound Reverses The Disease. Glyphosate Has Chelated & Stripped Our Soil Of Lithium, Resulting In Widespread Mineral Deficiency. According to Harvard Scientists, This Missing Nutrient Is the Key to Stopping Alzheimer’s. Harvard researchers report that the brain naturally contains lithium & that its early loss sparks the cascade that becomes Alzheimer’s. In human tissue, lithium levels drop at the earliest stages & a brain-available, amyloid-evading lithium compound restored memory & reversed pathology. Lithium protects against neurodegeneration & supports the normal functioning of all major brain cells. The team discovered that loss of lithium in the human brain is among the earliest alterations linked to Alzheimer’s. In follow-up experiments, they showed that a new lithium compound resistant to amyloid capture restored memory. The researchers found that a lithium-restricted diet brought brain lithium levels down & Alzheimer’s disease symptoms ensued. This accelerated the aging process, giving rise to brain inflammation, loss of synaptic connections between neurons & cognitive decline. Replenishing lithium with the compound Lithium Orotate reversed the disease-related damage & restored memory function, even in advanced disease. Notably, maintaining stable lithium levels in early life prevented Alzheimer’s onset — a finding that confirmed that lithium fuels the disease process. Today's Foods Are Depleted Of Major & Trace Minerals Because Of Glyphosate, Which Is A Toxic Chelator That Was Never Meant To Come In Contact With Our Food Supply. It Was Originally Used To Strip Minerals From Pipes. Glyphosate was initially used as a descaling agent to clean out calcium & other mineral deposits in pipes & boilers of residential & commercial hot water systems. Multiple scientific studies have concluded that soil depletion has lowered lithium to undetectable levels, which in turn causes all plants to have little to no lithium as they always historically had prior to Glyphosate. Glyphosate binds to lithium in soil. The herbicide is a strong chelator that forms coordination complexes with various metal ions, including lithium. 👇Lithium Deficiency & Alzheimer's Disease Onset👇 👇Lithium Is A Mental Health Micronutrient👇 👇Glyphosate Chelates Minerals From Soil & Food👇 Speaker: @extremehealthradio2 Justin Stellman

People like TENDAI BITI who don’t even know what GDP means should simply look around them to see where the $52 billion economy comes from. The P in GDP is for PRODUCTION… if the production of goods & services in Zimbabwe increases, GDP increases too… Of Course Mai Tambudzai in Dorito won’t see it if she is not producing anything, the money goes to those PRODUCING… Since 2017, Zimbabwe has broken records in Gold Production, Lithium production, Tobacco Production, Blueberries, Diaspora Remittances, Manufacturing, Construction, Steel (Manhize) etc…. No one needs a microscope to see that in 2017 there was literally ZERO Lithium production in Zimbabwe yet now Zim is the 6th largest producer of Lithium in the world. That’s what contributed to the $52 billion economy. Lots of MILLIONAIRES were minted in the mining sector… U can’t say there is no $52 billion economy just because your personal income didn’t grow… Here is a young man who is REAPING big in Tobacco Production…. These are the people SEEING & FEELING the $52 billion economy, not Biti’s hypothetical LAZYHEADS who produce nothing

Taming the Edge: How lithium could help us control #fusion plasmas. This video captures the first flashes of lithium being injected into the #plasma of our ST40 tokamak, marking the start of our exploration into its effects. Why lithium? In fusion research, we aim for H-mode, a high-performance state with improved plasma confinement. Future fusion power plants are expected to operate in this mode. But H-mode brings a challenge: ELMs (Edge Localised Modes) are bursts of energy at the plasma edge, similar to mini solar flares. These can reduce plasma temperature and damage the divertor with intense heat and particles. Pioneering work by PPPL and others has shown that lithium can suppress ELMs and increase energy confinement time, leading to higher temperatures. On ST40, we’re currently injecting lithium powder during plasma shots to explore its effects. As part of our upcoming ST40 LEAPS upgrade – in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero – we’ll go further, coating plasma-facing components with solid lithium using the ‘lithium evaporation’ technique. We’ll be experimentally testing several mechanisms. One key focus is how lithium absorbs hydrogen isotopes and reduces their recycling back into the plasma, lowering the density at the plasma edge, leading to a more stable edge pressure gradient. We’re starting to understand more about lithium’s effect on plasma performance, and early results show lithium isn't getting into the plasma core, which is good news for avoiding diluting the fusion fuel in future plants. The physics is complex, and we’re still learning. But each step brings us closer to fusion energy. By incorporating lithium into ST40, the world’s highest field spherical tokamak, we’re advancing our understanding of this critical enabling technology. #Fusion #FusionEnergy #Innovation #Limitless #EnergyTransition

This is what #lithium mining looks like in Nigeria. Chinese operated zero grade control drilling (or any drilling) and zero metallurgy. Just mine and put into a DMS circuit. Hard to see how this competes with the big western world mines. Only a matter of time before the right hand side of the cost curve shuts down. #ElectricVehicles #evs

Lithium. It's a trace mineral most of us never even consider. When Dr. Michael Nehls was here last time, he mentioned low-dose lithium almost in passing… and the response was overwhelming. People wanted to know why something so small could matter so much. He answered in what would be a fascinating interview. Lithium isn’t just another nutrient. It’s one of the earliest trace elements present in the development of life itself. It helps regulate fundamental biological processes across plants, animals, fungi, and especially the human brain. Dr. Nehls shared some interesting information with Del on "The HighWire" this past Thursday. Lithium deficiency appears to impact the hippocampus - the part of the brain he calls our "mental immune system." It's the region tied to resilience, curiosity, emotional balance… even our ability to see the world from someone else’s perspective. It's foundational for being human - for empathy and peaceful thinking. Here’s something else we learned: Populations living in areas with naturally higher lithium levels in drinking water tend to live longer… with lower rates of Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses. If something this fundamental supports brain health, resilience, and long-term wellbeing, why is lithium deficiency almost never part of the public health conversation? Worth thinking about. Watch this discussion with Dr. Michael Nehls. PD Dr. Michael Nehls

INSIDE OYO NATIONAL PARK: HOW ILLEGAL MINING HAS TURNED A PROTECTED FOREST INTO A LAWLESS COMMUNITY. As some of you might recall, i did a light report about illegal mining carried out in Old Oyo National Park which is linked to Kwara State as well in 2023. After the report which, I remembered reaching out to Ministry of Mining, a taskforce was established to curtail the activities of the miners, it worked effectively especially at the Oyo state side but it wasn't working effectively in Kwara state. After the killings of 5 National Park personnel by bandits last week, which I broke the news, I carried out an investigation to see the level of compliance at the Old Oyo National Park where lithium mining activity is going, then i discovered the said mining has become a full blown community. The current number of illegal miners operating at Old Oyo National Park is estimated to be between 200,000 and 400,000, including individuals involved in buying and selling activities at the site. According to my research , there is nothing sold outside the illegal mining site that is not also sold within the site. Items sold include foodstuffs, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and various forms of hard drugs. There is also the presence of sex workers who render their services to illegal miners inside grass huts constructed within the area. Additionally, medical drugs and medical items such as needles, injections, and intravenous fluids are openly sold at the site. Explosives are also sold to illegal miners and are used for blasting lithium during excavation. There are thousands of blacksmiths on site who fabricate various tools used for illegal mining activities, including shovels, diggers, chisels, and hammers. There is a high rate of child labour at the illegal mining site, also known as Daba. These children are used mainly for sorting lithium from rocks. The illegal mining site is divided into two sections: the Yoruba illegal mining section and the Hausa/Fulani illegal mining section. Both sections are located within Old Oyo National Park. The road leading to the illegal mining site (Daba) is not motorable. Access to the site is only possible by motorcycle. All extracted lithium is transported by motorcycles to Bonni, Igbeti, or Soro in Kishi. This indicates that illegal miners access the mining site through Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni. As at the time of writing this report, many empty trucks are observed entering through Igbeti, Oyo State, heading directly to Bonni, and passing through Bonni to Jeba Oloru, Kwara State, from where the lithium is transported to destinations of their choice. They operate within the confines of laws established by the illegal miners’ chairman, popularly known as “CD.” Anyone who commits the crime of stealing is punished by death. The area is so enclosed that outsiders can be fished out by them. A bike man who carries lithium from the forest to the truck earns ₦12,000 per bag. One bag of lithium weighs 100kg, and they carry two bags, making 200kg. The miners are so familiar with the area that they can easily move to Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni in Kwara State from the forest while evading security forces without being noticed, because many of them have been living in the forest for more than three years without seeing the outside world. It is imperative that both the Kwara State Government, Oyo State Government, and the Federal Government get hold of this before it becomes a security problem for the whole country. Illegal mining in Old Oyo National Park is progressing, not regressing.

It is imperative that both the Kwara State Government, Oyo State Government, and the Federal Government get hold of this before it becomes a security problem for the whole country. Illegal mining in Old Oyo National Park is progressing, not regressing.

On June 26, an all-hands fire broke out inside a basement apartment in a private dwelling in Queens. FDNY Fire Marshals determined the cause of the fire to be a lithium-ion battery that was charging in the kitchen of the fire apartment. The fire trapped a 48-year-old man inside the home, who had to escape through a bedroom window. The victim later died at a hospital. This is the first death in 2026 connected to a lithium-ion battery fire that happened this year. Where possible, charge and store lithium-ion batteries or micromobility devices OUTSIDE. Do not charge them overnight, and do not block any exits. It can mean the difference between life and death.
