Dawn of the Lithium-Ion Age

  • Rapid development of rechargeable batteries led the mobile phone revolution, followed by the smartphone and

tablet industry

  • With minimal development, batteries are now fueling the emerging Electric Vehicle industry and will allow Energy

Storage technology to revolutionize power generation and distribution

The Future is All-Electric

  • Estimated 80% of new vehicles sales will be electric by 20302
  • Major automakers going all-in on EVs with $Billions being invested in new tech and vehicles
  • Aggressive Government Support
  • China: all auto makers to generate EV credits equaling 12% by 2020 and planning future ban on sale of new

gas-powered cars

  • Norway: ban on new gas-powered cars by 2025
  • India and Netherlands: ban on new gas-powered cars by 2030
  • Britain & France: ban sale of new gas-powered cars by 2040

Lithium Chile Projects Benefit from Excellent Grades and Chemistry

  • Recent work programs have confirmed strong

grades on multiple projects

  • Testing has shown low Mg to Li ratios,

an important factor in production

  • Favourable comparisons with current Chilean

production at Salar de Atacama
