The global push for electric vehicles, from companies like
Tesla
(NASDAQ:TSLA) and
Nio Inc.
(NYSE:NIO) is only accelerating. All as the world pushes for lower emissions. The U.S. for example just pledged to reduce emissions by up to 52%, which could provide a sizable boost to the EV industry. The UK just announced plans to stop the sale of diesel and gasoline vehicles by 2030, opting for EVs. Germany unveiled a budget, which includes subsidies for electric vehicle buyers. Israel announced it will phase out fossil fuel vehicles by 2030. Norway plans to remove gas-powered vehicles by 2025. However, for the EV industry to succeed, it must have far more supply of graphite, copper, cobalit, lithium, and silver from companies like
Green Battery Minerals Inc.
(TSXV:GEM)(OTC:GBMIF),
Albemarle Corp.
(NYSE:ALB), and
Lithium Americas Corp.
(NYSE:LAC). After all, without those key materials, the electric vehicle boom can’t grow.
For example, the EV industry needs more graphite, which, “serves as the anode in the lithium-ion batteries that power these EVs, not to mention the growing number of portable tools and electronics that use the same type of battery,” according to Mining News North. It’s also running short of cobalt. According to Wired, “We simply may not have enough supply.” In addition, there continues to be a shortage of lithium, and even copper. A sustained shortage of these key minerals could easily put the brakes on the industry.
Green Battery Minerals Inc. (TSXV:GEM)(OTC:GBMIF) May be Able to Help with Graphite
Green Battery Minerals
(formerly Goldcore Resources) is managed by a team with over 150 years collectively with a proven track record of not just finding numerous mines but building and operating them too. The Green Battery Mineral management team’s most recent success is the discovery of its 100% owned Berkwood Graphite resource in Northern Quebec.
The company just announced that it has appointed Norda Stelo Collective Ingenuity of Quebec to conduct an
Environmental Gap Analysis report
for Green Battery’s road accessible Berkwood Graphite project
,
located in Northern
Quebec.
Michel Robert
Technical Advisory
states:
“The Gap Analysis is a key report linking what is already known environmentally in the area and learning what new items may be unique to our property. This report helps with the planning of building of a mine and will bring us one step closer to production.”
Norda Stelo is an independent engineering consulting firm that was founded in Quebec in 1963. Specializing in integrated projects from planning and design, to construction. Social, economic and environmental considerations are built into their daily operations as well as the projects in which they are involved in. For their clients, this commitment means sustainable, cost-effective and socially acceptable projects. These concerns are also reflected in Norda Stelo’s support for various social causes.
Vanessa Viera, Ph D Biologist of Norda Stelo states:
For this assignment, a team of experienced specialists was specifically assembled to cover all the technical disciplines required for the mandate. Furthermore, our work program was developed with the objective of efficiently carrying out a gap analysis according to the applicable environmental assessment process and regulatory framework. We believe this proposal provides an added value to Green Battery because of the prior knowledge of the local environment our team acquired during the completion of an Environmental Baseline Study for the Lac Gueret property (Mason Graphite).
