Bezos, Gates-Backed Mining Startup Launches Global Lithium Hunt

MarketJar

A California-based startup backed by tech billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos is embarking on a global expedition across four continents to find lithium deposits for the burgeoning electric vehicle market. KoBold Metals, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning to uncover critical metals, just launched an ambitious four-continent search for lithium deposits in the US, Canada, South Korea, Australia and Africa. Utilizing machine learning for mineral deposit detection, KoBold identified a lithium prospect earlier in the year in the Baie James region of Canada, challenging previous assumptions about the lack of economic lithium deposits in that area. KoBold's journey into battery metals began three years ago in Canada, by securing exploration rights in northern Quebec. The startup has since acquired about a dozen exploration properties through joint ventures with industry giants like BHP and BlueJay Mining. With a primary goal of bridging the supply gap for the electrification of transportation, KoBold said it aims to contribute significantly to the burgeoning $5 trillion lithium market. As governments around the globe increase their zero emissions goals, new sources of high-quality lithium will become more and more essential to meet ever-rising demand. Fortunately, a lithium development company with a significant resource in Canada is making significant headway in becoming a major player in the sector. E3 Lithium Ltd. (TSXV:ETL) (FSE:OW3) (OTCQX:EEMMF) is a resource company with 16.0 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in Measured and Indicated categories and 0.9 million tonnes LCE in the Inferred category. E3 Lithium 's objective is to produce high-purity, battery-grade lithium products to contribute to the growing electrical revolution. With a substantial lithium resource and innovative technology solutions, E3 Lithium aims to deliver lithium to the market from one of the world's best jurisdictions. E3 Lithium Outlines Growth Plans for 2024 Following Successful 2023 E3 Lithium is gearing up for substantial growth in 2024 following a successful 2023. The company achieved notable milestones during the past year, including upgrading its resource to 16.0 million tonnes of LCE, establishing a groundbreaking Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) field pilot plant in Alberta, producing high-purity battery-grade lithium hydroxide, and initiating a best-in-class PFS led by Fluor. “We set ambitious targets for ourselves in 2023 to advance our technology and our business; we have succeeded in accomplishing every milestone. The results we demonstrated in 2023 will continue to enable the completion of our PFS as we move into 2024,” said Chris Doornbos, E3 ’s President and CEO. “With the design of the commercial facility solidified, E3 can then contemplate a variety of growth and value creation opportunities on the back of our industry-leading resource and demonstrated DLE process.” The company also bolstered its financial position, securing a C$3.5 million grant from Natural Resources Canada and raising close to C$30 million through oversubscribed fundraises. E3 Lithium continued to grow and mature as a company, expanding its team, Board of Directors, and Advisory Committee, while actively collaborating with partners such as Imperial Oil and Pure Lithium. As E3 Lithium (TSXV:ETL) (FSE:OW3) (OTCQX:EEMMF) looks ahead to 2024, the company plans to progress reservoir development, advance DLE testing and analysis, announce the selection of a lithium refining vendor, and expand its team to support increased commercial activities. The company is also exploring additional opportunities to enhance shareholder value and plans to publish the first Alberta lithium Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) outlining updated project economics and leading to the booking of Canada’s first lithium in brine reserves. Detailed guidance for 2024 will be provided in the New Year, accompanied by a webinar featuring Chris Doornbos.

Westwater Resources says recent US Department of Energy announcement good news for company

Westwater Resources Inc

Westwater Resources CCO Jon Jacobs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to delve into the recent guidance issued by the Department of Energy regarding Foreign Entities of Concern, and how this development relates to the Inflation Reduction Act and the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit. Jacobs shed light on the significance of this announcement, which signals the U.S. government's proactive stance in bolstering the growth of a domestic industry. One of the key takeaways from this guidance is the government's recognition of the importance of providing domestic companies access to capital while simultaneously creating incentives for these companies to shift their supply chains away from China. Jacobs highlighted how this aligns with Westwater Resources' strategic goals and its advancements in the battery graphite business, particularly in Alabama, where the company is focused on producing high-quality battery graphite products. In addition to discussing the Department of Energy's guidance, Jacobs provided insights into the results of an Initial Assessment for the Coosa Graphite Deposit in Alabama. Remarkably, these positive figures were derived from drilling data covering less than 10% of the Coosa Deposit acreage, and they did not account for any potential benefits from previously discovered vanadium resources.

Volt Resources CEO talks 2023 Achievements and Graphite Market Insights for Explosive Growth in 2024

Volt Resources Ltd

Volt Resources CEO Prashant Chintawar joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news discussed the company's 2023 achievements and challenges in a recent interview. Notable highlights include progress in securing partnerships, manufacturing agreements, and customer relationships for their downstream business. The natural graphite anode plant in the US has a pipeline of over $100 million for non-diluted funding. Despite successful mining campaigns in Tanzania, financing for the Bunyu project remains a priority. Chintawar told Proactive the Zavalievsky graphite business in Ukraine resumed operations successfully, producing over 1500 pounds of graphite material. Chintawar emphasized the growth potential in transitioning from selling flake graphite to graphite anode powder, focusing on the electric vehicle market. The graphite market is experiencing a "perfect storm" with China halting graphite exports and the US seeking domestic sources. Volt, with its integrated operating mine, is well-positioned to benefit.

Unleash Financial Freedom This Holiday Season: Dash Your Way to Extra Savings for Holiday Shopping and Travel

YourUpdateTV

The holiday season is upon us, and so is the desire for a little extra cheer in our pockets. Recently, Taylor Bennett, Global Head of Public Affairs for DoorDash and Denis Boismier, a Dasher in Gibraltar, Michigan conducted a satellite media tour to talk about the unique earning opportunities and flexibility that come with being a dasher with Doordash. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/V8w4faZVNQk Dashing with Doordash gives people the ability to go out and earn money in a way that fits their schedule. ● 13M people have dashed in past decade and earned a total of $35B ● 72% spend less than 4 hours per week and 90% of Dashers spend less than 10 hours a week on delivery ● 78% of Dashers report being able to create their own schedule as the main reason they choose to dash, 64% cite supplemental income whenever they need Whether it’s saving up for the holidays, trying to pay off student loans or just wanting some additional financial security, dashing gives people the ability to go out and earn money in a way that fits their schedule – they can dash as often or as little as they’d like. With more than 22 new features this year aimed at making the dashing experience even better, there’s never been a better time to dash. With the introduction of Earn by Time, Post-Checkout Tipping, Dash Along the Way, and a new integration with GasBuddy, Dashers have more flexibility than ever when it comes to how they earn and more opportunities than ever to maximize their earnings potential. Safety is a top priority for DoorDash – that’s why the app has launched more than fifteen new features in the last year alone, including SafeDash Location Sharing, Apple CarPlay and SafeChat+. Here are some of the new features available to Dashers: Flexibility and Choice In June, Doordash made their biggest ever update to the way Dashers earn on DoorDash, providing unprecedented flexibility and choice by giving Dashers two ways to earn: Earn by Time, and Earn Per Offer: ● Earn by Time is an all new, industry-leading earnings mode that gives Dashers the choice to earn a guaranteed hourly minimum rate for time spent on a delivery – from the moment they hit accept until the order is dropped off – plus tips. ● Earn Per Offer is the same earning mode that Dashers have come to know and love. When a Dasher sees an offer in the Dasher app, it shows them a guaranteed minimum payout for that offer – they’ll always earn at least that amount, and never less Earnings Potential ● Post Checkout Tipping: Customers have a variety of preferences when it comes to tipping, so earlier this year Doordash added the ability for customers to tip at any point after checkout for up to 30 days after delivery – directly in the Dasher app. ● Dash Along the Way: Regardless of how they choose to earn, Dashers value efficiency and want to maximize their earnings. Dash Along the Way lets Dashers select their preferred starting zone and receive offers that will take them directly there, allowing them to earn on the way and reduce downtime. ● GasBuddy Integration: A new integration with GasBuddy allows Dashers to find the most affordable gas in their area and navigate to it – directly in the Dasher app. Platform Accessibility ● In-app Chat translation: To improve and streamline communication between Spanish-speaking Dashers and English-speaking customers, messages will now be automatically translated. 54 major languages will be supported. ● Spanish Language Chatbot: Doordash’s in-app Dasher support chatbot is an important resource for Dashers looking for real-time support and guidance while dashing. The chatbot is now available in Spanish, and if a Dasher needs support beyond the chatbot, they’ll automatically be transferred to a Spanish-speaking agent. ● Dasher App Language Setting: Many Spanish-speakers set their device’s language to English to help them practice, but want their core apps in their native language to avoid mistakes. Doordash introduced a new feature that allows Dashers to set the Dasher app language to Spanish – even if their device’s language setting is English. Making Dashing Even Safer ● SafeDash Check-In: If Doordash detects that a dash is taking longer than expected, they’ll automatically check in to see if the Dashers is okay. If they take a long time to respond or feel unsafe, an ADT safety agent will call them and escalate to 911 if necessary. ● Real-Time Safety Alerts: In the event of an emergency – like a natural disaster – Doordash can quickly alert Dashers, customers and merchants about the incident and suspend operations in the area. ● SafeDash Location Sharing: Dashers can share their location with up to 5 trusted contacts directly in the Dasher app. Those trusted contacts can see if the Dasher is on a delivery or if emergency assistance has been requested. ● Apple CarPlay Integration: With Apple CarPlay, drivers can sync their iPhone’s interface with their car’s built-in entertainment and information systems, helping drivers use key apps while reducing phone interactions.

Unlocking Airline Industry Insights with Frank Holmes: Jets ETF CEO Shares 2024 Outlook

HANetf

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide insights into the company's U.S. Global Jets ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund). During the discussion, they delved into the key factors and trends affecting the airline industry. Holmes emphasized the necessity of consolidation in the airline industry, citing recent mergers such as JetBlue and Spirit, as well as Alaska Airlines acquiring Hawaiian Airlines. Consolidation helps address challenges like pilot shortages and enhances pricing power for airlines in response to changing travel patterns and regulations. The recent uptrend in the NYSE Arca airlines index is viewed as a positive indicator for the industry. Holmes pointed out that airlines, often overlooked compared to other sectors, are thriving due to increased travel demand, highlighting their potential for investors. He also discussed the favorable impact of fuel costs, which play a significant role in airlines' profitability. Current fuel cost conditions are favorable, contributing to profit margin expansion. Looking ahead to 2024, Holmes anticipates a strong year for the industry, with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) predicting robust net profits. He highlighted the unique aspect of the Jets ETF, which encompasses not only airlines but also airports worldwide. This diversification offers investors exposure to companies with strong revenue and cost-effectiveness.
