American energy independence is a theme we’ll be hearing a lot more about in the coming months and throughout the balance of this decade. True energy independence won’t happen without a robust approach to oil and gas development in lockstep with a smart focus on alternate energy sources, as part of the “clean energy transition”, and an aggressive domestic minerals strategy centered around lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt, uranium and rare earth elements.
With energy independence comes lower inflation and increased American prosperity. Discovering and developing rich domestic supplies of strategic resources, therefore, is key to American economic success along with the need to keep the United States at the forefront of the technological revolution. Keep in mind, technology including artificial intelligence very much goes hand-in-hand with the 2020’s resource sector.
One little-known company that’s helping America WIN on this critical front is MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX).
MAXXF has accomplished something in Arizona (with the help of a stellar geological team and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California) that no previous group has ever been able to do!
MAXXF has been a leader in recent weeks in the junior resource space and this could be just the beginning of much bigger things to come. Investors are eagerly anticipating this company’s next move after some interesting hints in recent news releases.
MAX Power is an innovator, a company not afraid to blaze a new path in order to create shareholder wealth. During 2022 and 2023 MAXXF struck a co-operative research and development agreement around Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) with the Berkeley Lab and assembled an impressive portfolio of lithium assets in Arizona and Quebec, Canada.
Notably, in a milestone achievement, MAXXF just recently confirmed a potentially important new lithium claystone discovery in first-ever diamond drilling at the Willcox Playa in Cochise County in southeast Arizona (April 26, 2024 news release). In the month of May, MAXXF’s share price climbed by as much as 75%.
Lithium prices have stabilized after a very sharp but healthy correction that began in earnest in 2023, triggered by a slowdown in EV demand. EV growth is still strong across the globe, though, providing a bullish longer-term outlook for lithium and lithium stocks.
In the meantime, MAXXF has created some curiosity and intrigue by stating in recent news releases that it’s evaluating “new resource projects” that are “complimentary to its mandate to be a leader in the shift toward decarbonization.”
Such aggressiveness and forward-thinking opens up many interesting possibilities, a fact that has not been lost on investors, as MAXXF also plans its next steps at Willcox – the latest lithium discovery in the heart of the American West!
Finding domestic sources of lithium is pivotal for North America to secure a clean energy future.
China controls at least one-third of the world's lithium processing capacity, and it's this more than anything that could give it a stranglehold on the battery market for years to come.
It’s obvious the country has played a good game when it comes to lithium.
America cannot sit on the sidelines while China increases its control over the world's minerals and battery supply chains!
With the Biden Administration providing $3.16B in funding for lithium projects domestically, and investing $5B towards the EV charging network, the U.S. is ALL IN on the electrification of America. And strategic partner and closest ally Canada has adopted a similar position. In other words, the rush is on to find more secure lithium sources in North America and MAX Power is on it!
How ironic that at Willcox the U.S. Defense Department is sitting on what appears to be a large lithium claystone deposit that may easily extend for several miles or more in every direction based on historic data and first-ever diamond drilling recently completed by MAXXF!
For decades the Defense Department has leased large swaths of ground on the Playa from the Bureau of Land Management, for training exercises, making the DOD a neighbor of MAX Power.
MAX Power’s land package covers a 6-mile-long northeast trending corridor (3,754 acres) along the eastern side of the broader 50 sq. mile Playa. Much of the rest of the Playa is leased by the Defense Department. The entire Playa, which up until MAX Power’s program had never been previously diamond drilled, is now believed to be prospective for a potentially very large lithium deposit surrounded by top tier infrastructure including roads, rail, power and services located immediately off Interstate 10 in southeast Arizona, leading to Tucson and Phoenix.
Notably, the high-grade hectorite-saponite mix of lithium in the clays within the sediments at Willcox is amenable to a straightforward separation process as demonstrated by the Berkely Lab where samples in the clay fraction from the Discovery Zone also averaged 1,243 ppm lithium through initial testing using a particle size that can be reasonably expected to gravitationally separate in a full-scale commercial mining process.
Dr. Michael Whittaker, Research Scientist in the Energy Geoscience and Materials Science Divisions at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, stated:
“Lithium concentrations at Willcox increase when coarse particles are removed. This is consistent with features of clays found in shallow lacustrine sediments in other resources our team has examined. Bespoke processes aimed at precision separation of the clays at Willcox are likely to improve lithium grades further based on the characteristics of silt and sand that are distinct from otherwise similar deposits. Further research and development on clay mineralogy and separations processes are needed in this promising and under-explored deposit.”
Mr. Peter Lauder, MAX Power Senior Geologist, commented:
“We have successfully advanced the geological understanding of the Willcox Playa, demonstrating through first-ever diamond drilling and clay separation at Berkeley that the Playa may host a top-tier lithium deposit extending from MAX’s ground through claims leased by the Defense Department. Our BLM claims to the south provide some of the most compelling targets on the property, so we are eager to start Phase 2 drilling there while also expanding the Discovery Zone.”
The next drill holes at Willcox are planned for the southern portion of the Property where the largest and most intense low resistivity anomaly has been detected, overlain by a very low gravity anomaly. Drill results from the Discovery Zone confirm that this type of geophysical signature is an excellent target for lithium mineralization at Willcox. This fact highlights the strong potential of the southern BLM claims to significantly expand this grassroots discovery. BLM has granted MAX Power drill permits for this area.
Quebec remains one of the world’s premier exploration and mining hotspots, ranked 5th in the world for investment attractiveness for mining based on the latest Fraser Institute Survey (2023) released in May 2024. MAX Power has secured large strategic land packages in the heart of the prolific James Bay Lithium district adjacent to Patriot Battery Metals’ (OCTQX: PMETF; TSX: PMET; ASX: PMT) world class Corvette lithium discovery.
Meanwhile, Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO) made its biggest foray into the lithium sector in 2023 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 just a 70% interest).
Further north in Quebec, MAXXF is one of the largest landholders in the under-explored Nunavik region where there are two operating nickel mines including one of the world’s most famous and lowest cost producers at Raglan, operated by Glencore.
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 has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for exploration and mining around the world, part of that going toward Nunavik where the hunt is on for more nickel, lithium, rare earths, gold and copper.
MAX Power’s CEO is Rav Mlait who has extensive experience in management of publicly traded companies in the technology and mineral exploration sectors.
He 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 (OTC: BLOZF; CSE: BLO) 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.
“I congratulate our team for a commendable job confirming through first-ever diamond drilling and clay analysis that the Willcox Playa is prospective for a large-scale lithium deposit as the U.S. Geological Survey postulated half a century ago when they carried out some limited work. We look forward to the next steps at Willcox and executing on our broader strategy of capturing unique opportunities in North America’s shift to decarbonization..”
CEO Rav Mlai
America’s economic future is going to be determined by the choices we make NOW with respect to energy. MAXXF is the type of innovator and proven discovery play that you will want to put at the Top of Your Watchlist!
