This is the modern gold rush.
The most popular in the world
Minerals are not precious metals, nor are they oil and natural gas, but lithium.
Lithium, or what some call \"white oil,\" has become high today-tech economy.
Demand for lithium is soaring and producers are frantically looking for new sources of supply.
Over the past two years, prices have doubled to $16,500 a tonne.
What is the biggest reason for the surge?
Huge demand for lithium
Ion batteries needed for electric vehicles, mobile phones and wind turbines.
As the Wall Street Journal reports, the surge in demand has pushed lithium miners into new areas to find abundant reserves.
Traditional production of lithium and lithium
Ion batteries are concentrated in several key areas, but as demand increases dramatically over the next few years, investors are looking for creative new ways to increase global supply.
The boom in the Canadian lithium mining industry has driven the development of companies such as Nemaska lithium (\"TSX: NMX\") (OTCQX: NMKEF) and electric metal companies(\"TSXV:PWM.
(OTCPK: PWRMF) excavate new lithium deposits.
In fact, China is trying to monopolize the market, which makes it more intense to look for new deposits. S.
European companies are trying to bypass Chinese rule.
Over the past five years, commodity markets have focused on the huge showdown between OPEC and the United States. S.
Shale rigs with oil market share.
But in the next decade, it will be a war on white oil.
Zion Market Research predicts lithium in January
Ion battery sales will grow at a rate of 13 per year.
7%, rose to $67.
6 billion to 2022.
The price of lithium has risen sharply over the past three years.
From $6,500 per ton in 2015 to $20,000 in 2018.
China is the world\'s largest producer of lithium batteries and has taken positive actions to ensure stable supply.
Chinese companies now have a major stake in many South American lithium mines, which produce most of the world\'s lithium in order to fuel China\'s battery plants.
China expects lithium battery demand to grow significantly in the next few years
Mainly because they think the demand for electric vehicles will exceed the demand for natural gas.
Until 2030.
But with new mining companies mining lithium outside South America, the Chinese may be surprised.
In order to monopolize the market, China may be investing heavily in lithium production in South America, but companies in Europe and North America are secondary --
Strengthen China\'s self-sufficiency and ensure their own supply.
Europe uses 25% of the world\'s lithium, while cars in Europe
With the continent moving from gasoline to electric vehicles, manufacturers expect a surge in electric vehicle productionpowered cars.
European investors are looking for lithium deposits in Germany and the Czech Republic.
Meanwhile, in the UK, Portugal and Sweden, drilling workers are drawing underground lithium deposits.
In North America, miners are exploring lithium mines that have not yet been mined, which may be comparable to large gold mines in South America.
Canadian miner quantum mining(\"TSX-
V: QMC \") (OTCPK: QMCQF) expanded the lithium mine project in Manitoba by 100%.
In addition, Nemaska Lithium battery company.
It is hoped to exceed the current output (16,000 tons) by 20% this year.
Its possible reserves of property in Quebec are estimated at 24 million tons, which means that it should have no problem in achieving production targets.
Nemaska has been a big winner in the lithium market: its discovery on Whabouchi properties in Canada hit $1.
9 billion valuation.
Electric Metal Company, a hard-
Rock lithium miners are sitting on billions of dollars worth of deposits.
Instead of extracting lithium by evaporation, it\'s very timely --
The power metal consumes a great deal, digging through drilling for the residual lithium pyroxene in the rock.
Canada could be a major source of lithium
This is good news for the North American industry that may lose Chinese lithium batteries.
A trade war broke out between China and the United States.
While this is bad news for some industries that rely on Chinese imports, it is good news for North American lithium miners such as power metals and Nemaska.
Early April, United StatesS.
The government imposed high tariffs on imported Chinese lithium batteries as part of tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods.
This means that there will be a bigger market for lithium miners.
Investment in North American mining has surged, and risk factors for North American mining are the lowest in the world.
China may be monopolizing the lithium market in South America in order to fuel its battery plant and produce electric vehicles, but the U. S.
A substantial expansion in European lithium production could pull China out of the global battery market.
Lithium mines in Canada can meet the strong demand for lithium
Turn young miners into major players almost overnight.
High-power metals also announced 15000 of a 2018-meter drilling plan.
\"The benefits of exploration are enormous,\" said Dr.
Julie saiwei, the company\'s tough guy.
\"Each drilling target can significantly increase the overall size of resources.
According to Selway, Canada\'s lithium reserves represent a \"sleeping giant\": once mined, it can provide enough lithium to meet the needs of North America.
Just as the oil world has seen fierce competition between OPEC and the United States. S.
The world of shale and lithium may be defined by its own war: China is right. Everyone Else.
In this new gold rush, any preparation is worth it. FMC Corp.
(New York Stock Exchange: FMC) was founded in 1883 and has been in the neighborhood and neighborhood of the FMC.
FMC has a long history among many different industries, but FMC is still the leader in innovation in all industries.
FMC\'s participation in the lithium industry is particularly notable.
The company is one of the top three in lithium and related technologies.
It is one of the largest suppliers of electric vehicle applications using hydrogen oxides.
The strong growth of lithium is expected to drive FMC\'s profit margins and massive expansion, resulting in analysts rating lithium more than expected.
The company\'s performance for the full year of 2016 was impressive, with a lithium portion of revenue of $21 million.
From 90% in the fourth quarter rose an astonishing 2015.
Magna International (TSX: MG), based in Aurora, Ontario (NYSE: MGA ).
Innovative Global Automotive Suppliers--
Will certainly adapt to the obvious future. -
Clean Transportation.
A great catalyst is the development of its combined electric/hydrogen vehicle-
Fuel cell series-
Extended EV (FCREEV ).
Instead of producing them (at least for the moment), it plans to use the model to demonstrate its engineering and design strength and to produce components manufactured by electric drive systems and contracts.
Such heavyweight parts as GM, Ford, Tesla, BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen and Chrysler.
These huge deals provide a safe and stable source of profit for the company.
Very insightful, very avant-garde
Thinking and sensible value/low cost for shareholders.
Tesla Motors
(NASDAQ: TSLA): In the past few years, no big cap company has been as dazzling as Tesla, which has surpassed the large GM in market value this year
A great feat of accident
Tesla is the future, and its share price agrees.
Tesla\'s electric vehicles will eventually be more profitable and easier to produce than traditional cars.
Costs will continue to fall, especially as Tesla launches its battery Gigabit plant in Nevada, and the price of batteries (and lithium) drops.
Tesla will sell more than 2 million cars in less than 6-year time is completely feasible
Seven years from now.
General Motors is a household name.
GM was born at the turn of the 20 th century and has been a leading innovator in the automotive industry since then.
Although Tesla (among all companies) has surpassed its market capitalization, it is still far ahead of Detroit\'s top three automakers in terms of electric cars and selfdriving cars.
Recently, GM acquired Cruise Automation-a self-
Driving a car company seems determined to move forward faster
Look ahead.
In addition, GM is the leader in the booming electric vehicle market.
As countries around the world begin to pass internal combustion engine regulations, GM will gain significant benefits as an early adop for electric vehicle games.
Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOG): With a market capitalization of more than $657 billion, this is the second
The S & P 500 index has the largest market capitalization.
We like Alphabet because it is based on intellectual property.
Not tangible assets. Oh, and self-
Driving a car is definitely an important part of innovation in energy and artificial intelligence.
As an early entry into the self
Driving the world of cars, Alphabet\'s innovation paved the way for the transportation revolution. Alphabet will continue to bring value to investors, and even as one of the largest companies in the S & P 500 index, Google\'s parent company continues to reach new heights.
