If you believe in the future of renewable energy, then you are going to love this interview with Azincourt Energy because CEO Alex Klenman has been forecasting the rising price of Uranium ever since we started interviewing him. The price has moved from around $50/lb to over $100/lb and now stands at $87/lb. 

This surge in uranium prices can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, after a decade-long slump, uranium prices are on the rise thanks to a global shift in support for nuclear energy and subsequent rising demand. 

Additionally, uranium funds are raising hundreds of millions of dollars to buy uranium.

MONSTROUS GROWTH OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DRIVING DEMAND FOR NUCLEAR

However, the biggest “X Factor” that very few anticipated just 2 years ago, is the massive demand for energy being created by Artificial Intelligence.

The staggering growth of AI is driving demand for the power that only uranium and nuclear energy can deliver. 

How staggering?  

1.  Over the past decade, the amount of computing power used to develop AI models has amplified by a factor of 10 billion (yes BILLION, that is not a typo)

2.  And it isn’t stopping, with the amount of computing power needed to train AI is now doubling every six months.

EVEN MICROSOFT IS PLANNING FOR A NUCLEAR FUTURE

To meet the energy demands of AI, companies like Microsoft are hiring nuclear technology program managers to implement global Small Modular Reactor (SMR) and microreactor energy strategies.

LOCATED AMONG THE WORLD'S LEADING SOURCE OF HIGH-GRADE URANIUM 

Azincourt Energy controls a majority 86.1% interest in the 20,000+ hectare East Preston Uranium project, located in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, which is the world's leading source of high-grade uranium and currently supplies over 20% of the world's uranium. 

The company has invested over CDN$3 million in exploration expenditures on the East Preston Project over the past three years. CEO Alex Klenman emphasizes that significant uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin, such as McArthur River, Key Lake, and Millennium, were primarily the result of drill testing of strong alteration zones related to conductor features, indicating promising prospects for East Preston.

Stelmine Canada Has Discovered A New Gold District In North-Eastern Quebec Thanks To An All Star Management Team

Stelmine Canada (STH: TSXV) (STHFF: OTCQB) is developing a new gold district (in northeastern Quebec); an under-explored part of the otherwise prolific James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. This region of the planet is expected to substantially increase its production of gold mineral resources.

STRONG LEADERSHIP / PROVEN TRACK RECORD 

Led by Isabelle Proulx (CEO), Stelmine's management team has a proven track record in the Quebec resources sector and has created an attractive gold exploration target through a high-profile geological team including Dr. Normand Goulet, considered one of Canada's greatest structural geologists.

TOP PEDIGREE

Isabelle’s father, Andre Proulx - Director of Stelmine since November 30, 2016 is a businessman known for developing Quebec’s resources. Since 1991, he has founded and listed two mining companies (Ressources Appalaches, Exploration Puma) and one oil company (Pétrolia).

HPQ Silicon Affiliate Patents Can Expand Performance Of Graphite Anodes In Lithium-Ion Batteries And Deliver Holy Grail Silicon Anodes With Up To 10X Energy

HPQ Silicon Affiliate Patents Can Expand Performance Of Graphite Anodes In Lithium-Ion Batteries And Deliver Holy Grail Silicon Anodes With Up To 10X Energy

In an electric vehicle battery, which is typically a lithium-ion battery, there are three main parts you need to know about: the anode, the cathode, and the electrolyte.

 

The anode plays a crucial role in how the battery works. Specifically, it acts like a storage container for lithium ions. It holds onto them when the battery is charged and releases them when the battery is being used to power the car. This flow of lithium ions back is what makes the battery work and allows your EV to run on electric power.

 

THE CHALLENGE - GRAPHITE ANODES HAVE HIT MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

Today, graphite anodes dominate the market of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, with the graphite market estimated to be worth approximately US$25 billion in 2023.

But that may be as far as it goes with graphite having essentially achieved its maximum performance in terms of energy density.  


THE SOLUTION - SILICON ANODES CAN INCREASE ENERGY BY 10X 

HPQ announced that affiliate Company Novacium SAS has acquired a family of patents related to the surface treatment of carbon-based materials. These innovations come from the world-renowned researcher Dr. Alexander Zaderko, with over two decades of experience.

Silicon-based anodes have up to 10 times the energy density of a graphite-based anode, which is why Porsche, Mercedes and GM are betting on silicon-anode batteries. 

 

THE PROBLEM - CURRENT SILICON ANODES CAN DEGRADE

While silicon-based anode materials hold great promise for batteries, they are known to suffer from significant degradation during charging and discharging cycles.

 

ENTER HPQ SILICON AND NOVACIUM

Initial tests have shown significant performance improvements in silicon-based Li-ion batteries. These results indicate that the new surface treatment has a dual effect on battery properties: 

  • Reduces degradation, enhancing cyclability (battery lifespan) 
  • Reduces charging time.

BEYOND SILICON -ENHANCING THE PERFORMANCE OF EXISTING GRAPHITE ANODES & ENTIRE BATTERY MARKET

Furthermore, initial test results with graphite anode materials alone (without silicon) suggest that the new surface treatment positively impacts the performance of graphite-based Li-ion batteries.

“Our innovative approach aims to significantly improve the operation of lithium batteries. We believe the application of Novacium's patented surface treatments has the potential to transform and enhance the performance of Li-ion batteries, benefiting not only silicon-based anode materials but the entire battery market.”

Oleksiy Nichiporuk, Novacium Chief Technical Officer

 

HPQ SILICON ALREADY IN DISCUSSION WITH ENTITIES UNDER NDA

“Novacium's new patented surface treatment, which also improves the performance of graphite-based Li-ion batteries commonly used in the industry, provides HPQ and Novacium with a unique opportunity to offer solutions tailored to both the short- and long-term needs of the battery industry. Promising preliminary discussions have already started to take place with entities already under non-disclosure agreements with HPQ on the potential of this technology.”

Bernard Tourillon, CEO HPQ Silicon Inc. and NOVACIUM SAS

 

HOW BIG IS THE MARKET POTENTIAL?

In 2023, the market for these materials is estimated to be valued at anywhere between US$1.1 billion and US$2.7 billion. 

Projections for the future suggest that the demand for silicon anode materials could reach 300,000 tons by 2030, with an estimated value of around US$15 billion according to one source, and an astounding US$131.6 billion by 2033 according to another.

It's worth noting that, currently, silicon-based materials for lithium-ion batteries represent a relatively small portion, making up less than 10%, of the overall global demand for graphite. 

Novacium's pioneering surface treatment techniques are on the cusp of reshaping the landscape of lithium-ion batteries, and HPQ Silicon Inc. stands at the vanguard, not merely to meet, but to surpass the energy needs of the future.

Green River Gold CCR Hits 50th Consecutive Hole With Nickel, Magnesium, Cobalt, and Chromium From Bedrock Surface

Green River Gold CCR Hits 50th Consecutive Hole With Nickel, Magnesium, Cobalt, and Chromium From Bedrock Surface

If you hit .300 in baseball                Hall Of Fame

If you shot 50% basketball             You’re an icon

If you go 50-50 in drilling                You’re Green River Gold


The allure of Gold remains steadfast, with prices holding steady at $2,000. Simultaneously, the electric vehicle revolution is driving an unprecedented demand for battery metals, presenting an exciting opportunity.

Green River Gold a small cap resources company distinguishes itself by offering investors the best of both worlds. With an impressive portfolio of projects in British Columbia, Green River Gold is poised for substantial growth:

  1. Quesnel Nickel/Magnesium/Talc Project 
  2. Fontaine Gold Project 
  3. KaLi Lithium Pegmatite Project  
  4. Kymar Silver Project
  5. Newly acquired… Midnight Special Prospect 

These projects collectively position Green River Gold Corp. in some of British Columbia’s most highly prospective mining districts

Furthermore, the recent green light for the Cariboo Gold mine, just outside of Wells, B.C., marks a significant milestone for the region. Once operational, the mine is expected to provide sustainable employment for up to 500 individuals, stimulating the local economy.

A note from Perry on Osisko Getting the Green Light for their Gold Mine

“With their gold mine now approved, our next door neighbor, Osisko Development Corp. now has a market cap of $376 million Canadian. Our market cap is about $6 million Canadian. We are focused on our nickel potential but we originally staked the 200 square kilometers next to Osisko for the gold potential. It only cost us a few hundred thousand to stake and acquire the land beside them starting in 2019. At the time, Barkerville Gold Mines owned the property beside us. They were undercapitalized and really struggling to advance the property. When Osisko bought them, it changed everything. Instead of owning 200 square kilometers of property next to a promising gold project with no capital, we now own land next to a permitted gold mine that will be in production in 2024. In any normal mining market, that would be reflected in our share price. It will be eventually.” 


All 50 Nickel Holes Successfully Hit


The Quesnel Nickel Project stands as a remarkable achievement for Green River Gold, with an impeccable record of success across all 50 drilled holes. This feat underscores the immense potential of the project, with momentum gaining strength with each subsequent drill. Spanning about 14 linear kilometers and covering roughly 6.6 square kilometers.
