With the world spotlight now on Lithium as the next green-energy material of choice in batteries, electric cars, and all things wonderful technology (think iPod, iPad, etc), the first annual industrial mineral commodity conference wrapped up last week.
Let us revisit some of the companies presenting and check the list of presenters against what we've outlined before as credible companies, shall we?
As we discussed in our previous entries..
I think when you're dealing with that level of audience, BS geology can only get you so far. Sorry, time to short Alberta oil-field brines!! (MCI.v, CHU.v, HAO.v, etc etc!)
Confirmed speakers include:
- Dr Gal Luft, Executive Director, Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, USA
- Jerry Huang, Corporate Communications Manager, TNR Gold / International Lithium Corp, USA
- Iggy Tan, Managing Director, Galaxy Resources, Australia
- Richard Seville, Chief Executive Officer, Orocobre, Australia
- Jay Chmelauskas, President, Western Lithium Corp., USA
- Don Bubar, President & CEO, Avalon Rare Metals Inc, Canada
- Ted Miller, Senior Manager, Ford, USA
- Keith Evans, Consultant, USA
- Jon Evans, FMC Lithium Division Manager, FMC Lithium Corporation, USA
- Robert Baylis, Senior Consultant, Roskill Information Services Ltd, UK
- Waldo Perez, Chief Executive Officer, Lithium Americas, Canada
- Mr. Patricio de Solminihac, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, SQM, Chile
- Dr Steffen Haber, President, Lithium Division, Chemetall GmbH, Germany
And now consider the attendees. Note ones highlighted...Toyota just did a $5.5 million pre-feasibility deal with Orocobre, and are on the market looking for more.
The latest fiasco with braking problems is more of a government protectionist propaganda...heck the 90's Ford Explorer problem killed far more people and was potentially far more dangerous. Too bad nobody considered Hyundai's position in all this as they seem to be the ones profitting not GM...but I digress.
