Finding domestic sources of lithium is pivotal for America, and its strategic partner Canada, to secure a clean energy future.
China controls more than half of the world's lithium processing capacity, according to the Institute For Energy Research, and it's that fact - more than anything - that could give our #1 international foe a stranglehold on the battery market for years to come.
It's obvious China has played a good game when it comes to lithium.
North America needs to react and MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) is challenging China's dominance in the lithium market!
In addition, MAXX has also announced that for months it has been reviewing "advanced and special situations" in the uranium sector, complementary to its mandate to be a leader in the shift toward decarbonization.
North America needs POWER for full EV adoption and the clean energy transition. And MAX Power is going to help make that happen.
MAX Power is a dynamic exploration-stage company advancing North America's renewable energy prospects, specifically around lithium with the possibility of a near-term uranium acquisition.
MAXXF is also in a research and development agreement with the University of California Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to develop state-of-the-art direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology for brine resources.
MAXXF has rolled out a strategic game plan to become an innovative and dynamic leader in the North American shift to decarbonization. Among lithium stocks, where attractive opportunities are beginning to emerge again, the stock has been a top performer among its peers since last fall. News flow has been ramping up thanks to highly encouraging early diamond drilling results from the company's flagship lithium project in Arizona.
The race toward net-zero emissions depends heavily on lithium to power electric vehicles and to store wind and solar power. As countries position themselves to achieve emission-reduction goals, the United States has an opportunity to take center stage in the era of electric vehicles, advanced energy sources, and major innovation.
America cannot sit on the sidelines while China increases its control over the world's minerals and battery supply chains!
This is a Battery Arms Race and MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) is determined to help America win!
Nuclear power is also going to be key to helping America win in the key energy transition, hence MAX Power's interest in uranium to supplement its lithium assets.
By keeping track of what the U.S. Air Force was doing (or not doing) in southeastern Arizona, MAXXF was able to secure first mover advantage in a large playa that could develop into an even better version of Clayton Valley, Nevada, which currently hosts America’s only producing lithium mine!
America holds an estimated 3.6% of global lithium reserves, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), so the potential for multiple lithium mines exists. MAXXF is betting big on mining-friendly Arizona and the under-explored Willcox Playa becoming a major potential source of lithium as the USGS indicated is possible through its historical reports.
No longer a bombing range, the Willcox Playa’s lithium potential can now be pursued. After months of research, a crafty acquisition strategy, and a successful Phase 1 exploration program, MAX Power is all-in at the Willcox Playa. This highly prospective area, surrounded by excellent infrastructure, is now being systematically diamond drilled for the first time ever!
MAXXF is determined to leverage its first-mover advantage at Willcox to the maximum advantage for shareholders.
DRILLING TESTS A LONG CORRIDOR!
MAX Power's Willcox Property comprises 3,754 acres and is considered highly prospective for economic lithium mineralization based on early results from an ongoing first-ever diamond drilling program in addition to a 2023 work program, highlighted by a geophysics study, and compilation of historical data from the USGS and other sources.
Three widely-spaced initial drill holes have hit thick lithium claystone sequences as well as multiple non-potable fluid sequences (brine targets). Guidance from a LIBS portable handheld tool suggests the lithium in the claystones in all three drill holes completed as of mid-January, 2024, is significantly more intense and pervasive than the encouraging results reported by the USGS in its historic 1978 reverse circulation test drill hole completed approximately 5.5 to 6 miles northwest of MAX Power's first three holes. Those drill holes formed a triangle measuring 1,640 feet by 1,640 feet by 2,300 feet, so potential volume is building up rapidly.
MAX Power's fourth drill hole is a major 3-mile step-out to the south!
“The Willcox Playa has significant lithium discovery potential, so it’s very exciting that MAX Power will be the first company to every out systematic diamond drilling on the Playa. The targets are compelling.”
Mr. Peter Lauder, MAX Power Senior Geologist
It has never been more important for the United States to reach its full lithium discovery potential. Most of the world’s current lithium supplies are in China, Australia, Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia – far away places that leave America vulnerable to supply chain shocks. In a world where conflict has become the norm, easy access to critical minerals and metals is essential to secure a healthy and sustainable U.S. economy while protecting American national security.
If MAXXF validates a discovery at Willcox, America wins.
The drill is turning and the excitement is just beginning.
MAX Power is at the forefront of potential technological breakthroughs with respect to Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), another advantage for investors in this rapidly emerging lithium company.
MAXXF has made significant early progress in its cooperative research and development agreement with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), a California-based U.S. Department of Energy laboratory managed by the University of California to develop state-of-the-art lithium extraction (DLE) technologies for brine and claystone resources.
Lithium production from DLE is expected to grow 12-fold by 2032, accounting for about 15% of total supply, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.
Dr. Brett Helms and Dr. Michael Whitaker, two pre-eminent American research scientists at Berkeley Lab working in collaboration with MAX Power, are leading potential groundbreaking technology development focused on novel pre-treatment methods and a membrane-based approach to lithium extraction from a diverse range of brine resources in the United States and Canada.
MAX Power and LBNL are incorporating innovative methods and novel materials into the DLE process to help unlock lower grade and challenging brine resources, lower production costs, and allow for higher throughput as an effective alternative to existing methods.
“A key to our success at this stage comes from the polymers having the ability to passively and selectively concentrate lithium. We see significant opportunities for the membrane-based approach we’re developing to offer advantages over existing approaches, in particular higher throughput with respect to volume. This is particularly important for brine resources.”
Dr. Helms, co-founder of two deep tech Bay Area start-ups and award winner of the 2022
World Materials Forum’s start-up challenge
In February 2023 MAX Power appointed Peter Lauder as Senior Geologist and Exploration Manager.
Lauder’s extensive experience includes working for top tier mining and exploration companies across Canada and West Africa. Notably, he was actively involved in a supervisory position with Goldcorp’s exploration team that brought the Eleonore Project in Quebec through a positive Feasibility Study, construction and eventually full production.
Quebec is an important jurisdiction for MAX Power as it advances a North America-focused lithium strategy. Lauder is playing a key role taking MAXXF to the next level!
“We are thinking big and outside the box, creating a lithium company that can differentiate itself in an increasingly crowded space,” explains Lauder. “I'm delighted to be part of the MAX Power team. It has the vision, the market and financial strength, the people and the plan to become a leading lithium player.”
MAX Senior Geologist & Exploration Manager Peter Lauder
MAX Power’s CEO is Rav Mlait who has extensive experience in management of publicly traded companies in the technology and mineral exploration sectors.
Mlait is the founding CEO of MAX Power and steered the company to a successful listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) where it has been one of the CSE’s top-performing stocks since it made its public debut in February 2022. He has also been CEO of Cannabix Technologies since 2014, and has also led several exploration companies targeting Cu-Ni-PGE, gold and uranium. He holds an MBA from Royal Roads University in British Columbia with a BA (Economics) from Simon Fraser University.
“With an American division and a Canadian division, our view is that MAX Power will be able to grow its shareholder base exponentially while delivering brisk year-round news flow. Each division will have its own niches in the lithium space, allowing MAX to appeal to very specific audiences in North America. In each case this includes quality exploration opportunities that provide potential high impact discovery leverage for investors, such as Willcox in Arizona. In addition, this structure provides for the potential of various strategic corporate options to further build shareholder value including a spinout of certain assets if the opportunity arises.”
CEO Rav Mlai
MAX Power Mining Corp.’s (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) quest to find secure sources of lithium in North America doesn’t end at Willcox.
MAXXF’s has a compelling land position in the heart of the prolific James Bay Camp of Quebec, within just a couple of miles of one of the most important lithium discoveries this century (Patriot Battery Metals’ Corvette hard rock resource).
Quebec has become the lithium capital of Canada. Not only are new lithium pegmatite discoveries being made, but major investments in infrastructure continue. On August 17, 2023, Ford and SK, a Korean battery manufacturer, announced plans to build a new $1.2 billion battery cathode factory in Becancour, known as Quebec’s lithium valley.
MAXXF’s Corvette Lake North Property is situated within as little as 2.2 miles south of one of Patriot’s (TSXV: PMET) important discoveries, the CV-13 pegmatite cluster.
A summer 2023 airborne survey revealed several “hot spots” at MAX Power’s Corvette Lake North Property (24,000 acres) where there are known pegmatites. The property is located in an intriguing structural setting between two major intrusive complexes highlighted by the Langelier and Moyen plutons. Some of the claims are situated in Doman III, the same structural domain that hosts PMET’s spectacular CV-5 discovery.
Now, if you’re an investor in a junior resource company, and world-leading powerhouses like Albemarle (NYSE: ALB) and Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO) suddenly took an interest in your area and landed on your doorstep, you’d have reason to be excited!
That is what has just happened to MAX Power!
As PMET reported the largest high-grade lithium pegmatite resource in the Americas (108.2 million tonnes Inferred of lithium oxide grading 1.42% Li20 using a cut-off grade of 0.40% Li20), and as MAX Power continued to garner encouraging data from its nearby Corvettte Lake North and Corvette Lake South properties, Albemarle grabbed 6.5% ownership of Patriot at the end of July 2023 by investing $109 million (CDN) at $15.29 per PMET share.
Meanwhile, Rio Tinto made its biggest foray into the lithium sector by optioning properties contiguous to or adjacent to MAX Power in agreements that contemplate an aggregate value of up to $115.7 million (CDN) in exploration expenditures and cash payments (for a 70% interest).
The moves by Albemarle and Rio Tinto have really validated this area as a world class high-grade lithium region.
In another series of astute moves in Quebec, MAXXF has become one of the largest lithium-focused landowners in the top third of the province – a massive area comparable in size to Texas and known as “Nunavik”.
For America to win this Battery Arms Race, entirely new lithium districts will need to be discovered in North America - and quickly. That’s where MAXXF has aggressively stepped into the picture.
Nunavik already has proven reserves of critical minerals, and two operating nickel mines near a deep-sea port in the Raglan district, but the real prize could be the potential for fields of lithium-bearing pegmatite deposits that help “tip the scale” in favor of the United States and Canada in the growing resource war vs. China.
Extensive recent reviews of historical data, and early indications from an initial work program in the summer of 2023, have revealed that the very under-explored Nunavik region could host vast quantities of high-grade lithium in pegmatites outside of its world class nickel belt. Yes, this is still very grassroots - unlike MAX Power’s more developed Willcox Playa - but the potential opportunity is nonetheless impressive.
Pegmatites are abundant at MAX Power’s Raglan West, Raglan South and New Leaf Projects in Nunavik, while all three areas feature some of the highest lithium and cesium values in lake bottom sediments in the entire Quebec government database.
Pegmatites are abundant at MAX Power’s Raglan West, Raglan South, and New Leaf Projects in Nunavik, while all three areas feature some of the highest lithium and cesium values in lake bottom sediments in the entire Quebec government database.
Aided by Shawn Ryan, Canada’s top prospector, MAXXF acquired strategic land packages in Nunavik and also became the biggest player in the highly prospective Raglan South area. The company is actively exploring all of its claims in Nunavik, preparing for potential first-ever drilling in 2024.
Also active in the broader Raglan district is KoBold Metals, a private company funded in part by billionaires Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg and Richard Branson. They understand Nunavik’s incredible potential and the decisive role this region could play in the Battery Arms Race.
KoBold, which recently raised $195 million (USD), carried out a large program this past summer.
MAX Power’s Raglan South Project is about 6 miles south of KoBold’s vast land package!
With Continuing Strong Battery Demand from EV’s, as well as Energy Storage (Saving Power for Later Distribution to the Electric Grid), MAXXF is an Emerging Lithium Company to Have at the Top of Your Watchlist!
Full EV Adoption Requires More Power - And On That Note, Months of Due Diligence May Soon Pay Off For MAX Power in Terms of a Potential Near-Term "Special Situation" Uranium Acquisition to Complement its Mandate to Help America Win in the Decarbonization Shift!
Although lithium reserves are distributed widely across the globe, the U.S. is home to just one active lithium - in Nevada. Even Canada, our northern neighbor and strategic partner, has just two operating lithium mines (and one of them is owned by China!). This is unacceptable, especially given our robust lithium discovery potential.
Almost 400 new mines, many of them lithium, are needed for the world to meet the surging demand for electric vehicle and energy storage batteries by 2035, according to London-based price reporting agency Benchmark Minerals.
With most of the world’s current lithium-ion battery production in China, the U.S. Department of Energy is making a $3.16B investment in domestic lithium-ion battery production to secure the supply chain of the future.
In addition, the Biden administration is investing $5B toward the EV charging network. Washington and state governments are ALL IN on the electrification of America. And Canada has adopted a similar position, banning the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035.
The rush is on to find more secure lithium sources in North America, and MAX Power is a driving force!
MAXXF may soon shine on Wall Street as the company continues drilling at the Willcox Playa, a project with the potential to deliver one of the great new lithium discoveries in America.
