Compass Minerals Signs Binding Multiyear Supply Agreement to Provide Ford Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate

As previously announced, the company expects an annual commercial production capacity of approximately 35 kMT lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) once fully operational, with an initial phase-one capacity of approximately 11 kMT battery-grade lithium carbonate coming online in 2025.

I was correct saying months ago that the Galvanic Energy property would be sold.

You should always take a proffit.

The only Lithium stock I do not trade is Pilbara, because I get dividends.

You are young, you can hold for a long time.

I am in the "End Game" of my life.

My Queen was taken long ago.

I have a few pawns left and one bishop for prayers.

I wish you all the best in life.

Short selling on CSE.

Added more on the dip. Never sold a share

Long IBATF

You should not trust anyone on the internet. You have the right to believe what you want.

I do not think Christina, or Marc are selling. So, tell me where are all these shares are coming from?
I am pretty sure warrents are being sold.

I am a trader, I too well be selling into the rise next week. Permits take forever in the US.
Your word doesn’t mean anything to me anymore, because you make it all up
Was he trying to get cheaper OXY shares?

Nice play on Warren in this AGM he says different.


Knot legal advise also talks about Warren/Hathaway reducing shares of oxy, 7-days ago.



Court case extended again. Beautiful day in MN going for a long bike ride.

Your word doesn’t mean anything to me anymore, because you make it all up. And buffet is NOT selling his OXY https://www.investors.com/news/warren-buffett-is-buying-more-occidental-petroleum-stock-with-oil-prices-near-2023lows/

I have an insider telling me what is going on there.

It is a private message. So, I will not give the name.
2025. They have the demo plant already up and running, with several months of data on the native brine flows. Similar to Compass Minerals.

Warren Buffet decided to sell down their oxy stock as well. Warren says it is too difficult to do.

You must have selective reading because the reuters article words both companies the same way- holding talks about licensing.

Additionally, no insiders have sold any shares since Anderson in October 2022. The $4 options all expired, but by law the insiders were required to report them on SEDI.

The SLR testing results gave Galvanic its value, it doesn’t take a genius to guess where Ibats first unit will probably go

The reason I wanted a deal with Compass Minerals is they do not inject into the ground. They inject into the pond.

That would be great news.

It is what I hope would happen a sale, I truly hope it is correct.

Thanks for the heads up Masonato. I have a stock moving up today. I gambled and loaded on the dip. I will have more funds soon.

I have been hitting the ask every morning the last few weeks. Trying hard to keep the chart looking nice.

I've been told privately that IBAT is being bought by Codelco.

I told you Galvanic would sell the property.

I have been told privately who the DLE, provider is and it is not IBATF. And they have a pilot plant there and will be producing in 2025.

Burba, the man with many burnt bridges.

Does EVL have any shares left?

Not many is my guess.

The only thing left for Burba, is to crawl back to EEMMF.

I told you so. Not bad for a high school dropout.

Koch and energysource aren't on my radar enough to occupy any of my time. Energy Source especially because they've been funneling money since 2016/2017 with no noteworthy success. Same with CTR. BHE saw the writing on the wall. Compass brought Koch on for a hybrid dle and Koch isn't even a technology provider, they're a bankroll and facilitator.

Plenty of brines in Utah, saltwerks is a good spot. I'm not all in on galvanic just yet, Mr. Wilson seems to have developed for a sale so time will tell what comes of it.

Go read my SLI post KOCH and EnergySource Minerals.Took Smckover, over with private companies using EnergySource Minerals, with weird names for the tech...

Go look at my post on pemif. messageboard and read past post here with futrcash.

The doc did say he tested Salton sea. Exciting times waiting for the tangible news.

I'm excited to watch Koch jockey for position. Not quite sure they're positioned in the realm of technology due to SLI and I can see a scenario where Koch + ibat become partners.

I don't think companies can afford Dr. Burba. Would a lump sum make sense or would lifetime royalties make sense for a retirement.

Burba, says he cannot talk about the companies because he signed an NDA.

I feel confident Galvanic will sign with EnergySource Minerals..

Koch has very deep pockets. Maybe they might buy out IBATF. I do not think they want compitition and IBATF has no cash to buy Galvanic.

I think you're reaching pretty deep. If Galvanic signed an NDA with IBAT how would they be able to release;

https://galvanicenergy.com/news/galvanic-ibat-testing-proves-smackover-brine-is-dle-compatible

If anything, the NDA(s) are signed with the other companies they evaluated. KOCH imo is starting to stray away from the Standard Project due to the inability for their technology to scale.

I'm going to post my theory here.

Galvanic signed an NDA with IBATF yet they are telling people publicly that their brines were tested by IBATF.

KOCH bought 17% of Compass and brought into SLI as well, and are also part of EnergySource Minerals.

Galvanic says others are testing.

KOCH well buy into Galvanic, that is my prediction. To me it is a no brainer. Do you think KOCH, wants competition, in Smackover?.

CMP: SEC Cease and desist Order:

I was hoping IBAT got this one.

Oil field brines will still be attacked by the "Green people". They want zero oil. And some day they could be picketed with protestors at those sites.

One other site in Nevada, should have a very high chance of being tested Albemarle Corporation. I am disappointted that I did not keep an eye on them.

The small quantities of gases emitted from geothermal power plants aren't created during power production because there's no combustion. These gases are natural, minor constituents of all geothermal reservoirs. They eventually would vent to the atmosphere without geothermal power development, although at much slower rates. Dry steam and flash steam power plants emit mostly water vapor. Binary-cycle power plants emit virtually no gases because they operate using a closed-loop system.

I did read the corporate presentation...lots of relevant Industry info there-

I used to drive by the great salt lake regularly,on my way to ski the deep powder in the Wasatch, back in the day...so I'm familiar with the general overview

Anyway a couple of things stood out regarding Compass' lithium brine plans

the concentration of lithium in the great salt lake is rather low compared to other brines,and of course the cocktail of other minerals is specific to
that basin making the selection of a DLE process site specific and not necessarily a validation of one technology at the expense of others

the other points are the capex required and the long timeframes prior to projected commercial revenue streams

granted Compass must be a conservatively run operation,but the timeframes for full commercial production appear far from ambitious

especially when one considers the established operating history and existing infrastructure on the east side not to mention no anticipated permitting issues.

Compass Minerals Announces $252 Million Strategic Equity Investment Partnership with Koch Minerals & Trading LLC
SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

Koch is hooked up with the company that has some of Molycorp old patents. I'll find that name later today.

I think chances are less now that IBATF is one of the testers, but Burba, did file a patent with them also within the last 2-years. I am flip flopping as I type.

I'll find those patent later. I am going to put all DLE patent links in the IBOX here, Maybe some of the sorbent companies I found private and public.

We will know tomorrow.

Approximately $200 million of the proceeds from the investment are expected to be used to advance the first phase of the company’s sustainable lithium development project. This figure represents approximately 75% of total phase-one funding needs, according to the company’s FEL-1 level project cost estimates, including the full funding required through calendar year 2024 toward the construction of a commercial scale, direct lithium extraction (DLE) and lithium conversion plant at the company’s Ogden, Utah, solar evaporation facility. Compass Minerals expects the project’s annual commercial production capacity to ultimately be approximately 35 kMT LCE, with an initial phase-one capacity of approximately 11 kMT LCE coming online by 2025.

“In all, Compass Minerals anticipates eventually being able to produce 30,000 to 40,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent per year, with an initial capacity of 10,000 metric tons by 2025, when it plans to start production.”

With those estimates it kinda sounds like they are testing with the tech.

Timelines kinda matchup with equipment assembly and testing.
