Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – February 27, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the growing interest in renewable energy and sustainable practices within the cannabis industry, sparked largely by high demand, high energy usage and a need for companies to lower costs and improve efficiency.

For Millennials that are known to be big investors in the cannabis space but also wanting to invest in sustainable technology for the future, this may be the perfect blend. According to recent data, “Aurora Cannabis outpaced Apple as the favorite stock on Robinhood, a free-trading app popular among millennial traders.”   

“Legal cannabis cultivation in the U.S. consumes an estimated 1.1 terawatt-hours of electricity a year,” according to the 2018 Cannabis Energy Report, published by Scale Microgrid Solutions, along with New Frontier Data and the Resource Innovation Institute.

“That’s enough to power the whole of Newark, New Jersey or Anaheim, California,” the report states.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX:ACB.TO) (NYSE:ACB) has been aware of this need for energy efficiency since 2017, having partnered with Flora Fotonica through the company’s subsidiary MedReleaf.

With the company building large scale facilities such as their Aurora Sky, an 800,000 square foot facility and Aurora Sun, a 1,200,000 square foot facility, the need for energy efficiency is paramount. The Aurora Sun facility, located in Medicine Hat, Alberta which receives more than 2,500 hours of sunshine per year, makes a perfect candidate for solar.

SinglePoint (OTCQB:SING), a company with a portfolio that includes mobile payments and  ancillary cannabis services, is taking note of such large scale energy requirements having recently announced signing an asset purchase agreement to acquire Direct Solar and AI Live Transfers.  The two companies are providing what has been described as ‘the Lending Tree Model for solar business’. With the proposal of The Green New Deal, solar is at the forefront of every conversation and will continue to be top of mind as the nation grows through an ‘energy shift’ to renewable resources.

Total installed US PV capacity is expected to more than double over the next five years, and by 2023 over 14 GW of PV capacity will be installed annually. This represents a major opportunity for SinglePoint and Direct Solar to exponentially grow and establish a leadership role within the new segment of the burgeoning solar industry.

Direct Solar is able to move into every state quickly and efficiently because of the proprietary online education technology the company has developed. SinglePoint plans to utilize this edge to pitch cannabis businesses on the opportunity to save money and increase margins with lowered utility costs through the use of solar.

Liht Cannabis Corp. (CSE: LIHT) (OTCQX: LIHTF) has focused much more on sustainability, having announced earlier in the month that each of its cultivation facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada have now achieved three organically grown certifications from EnvirOganic, Certified Kind and Clean Green. The Company received its third certification from Clean Green Certified, a program modeled on existing national and international agricultural standards that ensures environmentally clean and sustainable methods, comprised of three parts: legal compliance, review of cultivation methods and agricultural crop inspection.

Liht also announced selecting the innovative Agnetix liquid cooled LED lighting system for its British Columbia, Canada cultivation facilities, including newly announced 486,000 sq. ft of high-tech indoor cultivation facilities.

Using the Agnetix system's unparalleled power, advanced controls, and monitoring features, Liht expects to improve its yields while saving over 50% on energy costs vs. traditional systems.

"Our cutting-edge facilities draw a tremendous amount of power for lighting and HVAC systems. With the Agnetix system, we expect to see an immediate cost reduction in our energy bill and a more efficient operation," said Richard Huhn, Director of Liht.  "We have also logged very positive plant-health results using these lights and we are excited to start the new grow."

FSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE) (OTC:  FSDDF) is also showing interest in solar and renewable practices having signed a non-binding letter of intent with Solarvest BioEnergy Inc., in which Solarvest would conduct research using its algal expression technology to develop pharma-grade cannabinoids.

Solarvest plans to develop and carry out a research project using its algal expression system for the purpose of developing a proof of concept that algae can express the Project Cannabinoids.

It seems all too obvious that with the high energy requirements, a strong need for cost efficiency and high yield production and a strong societal link to counter-culture and naturalist views, that the cannabis sector will have to endorse “green tech” sooner rather than later, and early movers like Aurora and SING may have the edge in what is fast becoming a greener future.

Charging Ahead with #EV Growth Beyond Cars; #Lithium-ion Batteries will Continue to Dominate; (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (NYSE: $ALB) (CSE: $TOP.C) (OTCQB: $ENRT) (NYSE: $SU)

Charging Ahead with #EV Growth Beyond Cars; #Lithium-ion Batteries will Continue to Dominate; (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (NYSE: $ALB) (CSE: $TOP.C) (OTCQB: $ENRT) (NYSE: $SU)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – February 26, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering lithium and cleantech stocks issues a snapshot looking at how the EV market is on an exponential growth curve, fuelled by both policy and consumer demand.

“China is charging full speed ahead into electric vehicles, on track to sell over 2 million electric vehicles this year, from 1.1 million in 2018”, says Cleantechnia.

IDTechEX says the demand for EV trucks and buses has only just started, especially in China. Lithium-ion batteries will continue to dominate according to the report. “In a series of waves, the storage demand is powering upwards to over $200 billion in 2029 with buses and delivery vans already well into electrification.”

When discussing EV’s and lithium demand, one company “driving” the conversation is Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA). Tesla has been on an upward push the last two years; for the three months ended September 30th, 2018 vs September 30th, 2017 Tesla reported revenue of $6.8MM vs $2.9MM, up 128.65%, with the estimated EPS forecast for the next fiscal year being $6.13 and is expected to report on January 29th, 2020.

The success of Tesla has allowed lithium extractors and producers to ride the same wave of success, but will there be enough lithium fast enough to meet market demands, and if so which company will take the lead?

Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) reported very positive results just last week for Q4 and the 2018 financial year. Fourth quarter net sales were $921.7 million, an increase of 7% over the prior year; earnings were $129.6 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, an increase of 162% over the prior year.

"2018 was a successful year for Albemarle on many fronts. Excluding divested businesses, we delivered full year, total company adjusted EBITDA growth of 17%, adjusted diluted EPS growth of 23% and we finished the year strong as all of our reportable segments delivered growth in the fourth quarter. In addition, we returned significant value to shareholders through increased dividends of $145 million and $500 million in share repurchases, while continuing significant growth investment in our Lithium platform," said Luke Kissam, Albemarle's CEO. "Lithium contributed just over 50% of our adjusted EBITDA, driven by 10% volume growth and 9% pricing compared to 2017."

Less than 1.5 miles from Albemarle’s Silver Peak Project, Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB: ENRT) (CSE: TOP) recently announced an update on their synthetic solution testing.

Since Fall 2018, Enertopia has been running tests to recover lithium in the most cost-effective manner from synthetic brine solutions produced by leaching surface, lithium bearing claystones.  To date, 32 solution tests have been run to create a database that forms the building block for upcoming solution tests.

Their 3^rd phase of solution testing is expected to be in full swing by early March 2019 and will use drill core material from the diamond drill holes from their recently completed drilling program and will consist of 49 different sample intervals covering 397 feet of core.

Pre-pH adjustments have demonstrated positive outcomes as contaminant minerals are greatly reduced allowing for a cleaner synthetic lithium brine to be processed using off the shelf technologies and variants developed by Entertopia. 

The company's technical advisors believe the positive testing to date may warrant patent protection and thus the Company is keeping all internal data strictly confidential at this time. The Company has signed several NDA’s with industry partners as it works to reaching its goal of a low capex solution to battery grade lithium production.

“With our positive drill program completed, our focus and energy can turn to our solution testing of the drilled lithium horizons. We continue to strive for a low-cost mining and processing solution to unlock the potential value of the Lithium enriched claystones,” stated CEO, Robert McAllister.

Big and small investors are taking note of the traction the lithium market is gaining, including Warren Buffet and Berkshire  Hathaway who recently disclosed a 0.7% stake on February 14th into Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE: SU) . And why?  It fits into his EV strategy; one he started years ago with BYD, that has grown to become China’s biggest sellers of EV’s.  

Suncor just announced that Petro-Canada, a Suncor business, is building a network of electric vehicle (EV) fast charging stations across the country. “With more than 1,800 retail and wholesale locations across the country we have the network in place to build Canada’s first electric highway, providing coast-to-coast EV charging for our customers. We’re also investing in the fastest charging EV technology available today, which will be able to easily upgrade as technology advances.”   

With more positive financial results and improved extraction technology like Enertopia is working on, EV’s and lithium are finally on point to replace the energy technology of the past; oil and gas.

#Lithium’s High Global Demand; A New Call for ‘Drill Baby Drill’ But Now it’s for #EV Metal Miners: (OTCQB: $ENRT) (CSE: $TOP.C) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $ORL.TO)

#Lithium’s High Global Demand; A New Call for ‘Drill Baby Drill’ But Now it’s for #EV Metal Miners: (OTCQB: $ENRT) (CSE: $TOP.C) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $ORL.TO)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – February 20, 2019 - Investorideas.com, one of the first global investor news source covering lithium stocks issues a snapshot looking at the projected growth demand for lithium and how lithium miners are looking to meet the growing global demand.

According to Research and Markets, the lithium ion battery market is estimated to grow from USD 37.4 billion in 2018 to USD 92.2 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 16.2% between 2018 and 2024. The growth of the lithium ion battery market is driven by an increase in demand for plug-in vehicles, growing need for automation and battery-operated material-handling equipment in industries, growing demand for smart devices and other industrial goods, and high requirement of lithium-ion batteries for various industrial applications.

Electric Vehicle (EV) metals are all in demand; lithium, cobalt, rare earths, graphite, nickel, and copper. Here is how a few lithium companies are betting on the future and ramping up.

Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB:ENRT) (CSE:TOP) is looking to expand its lithium capacity, having recently announced that all drill core sample assays have been received from the four resource definition holes and one metallurgical test hole. The best hole for grade and thickness was TOP-02* that averaged 1,231 ppm li over 262 feet, Including 1,368 ppm li over 186 feet in the main reduced zone.

Drilling confirms widespread lithium mineralization on the property. This zone appears to have a regional NE trend starting from the Southwest on Cypress Development’s proposed high-grade starter pit, with an average grade of ~ 1,105 ppm Li and running through the project and then onto Noram Ventures project to the northeast where they have outlined a shallow resource to ~ 50 feet averaging 1,060 ppm li.

“Drilling has not only verified the Company’s expectations for the potential of the lithium horizon on our property but we have been able to show by the drill bit that the drill intersections to date indicate any future outlined resource could have Lithium values exceeding those of the proposed high grade starter pit envisioned on the Cypress Development property to our southwest,” stated President, Robert McAllister.

Regional map and drill hole specific data

Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSXV:SLL.V) (OTC:STLHF) also reported on a maiden lithium resource statement for its approximately 30,000 acre Project (aka TETRA Project) in the south-western region of Arkansas, USA.  The maiden resource report includes 802,000 metric tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) at the Inferred Resource Category.  Combined with Standard Lithium’s other project in Southern Arkansas, this results in a total combined Arkansas lithium brine resource of 3,888,000 tonnes LCE.

Robert Mintak, CEO said, “This combined project in Southern Arkansas positions us as the largest lithium brine resource in the US; a significantly expanding market that currently relies on imports of foreign lithium.”  Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Standard Lithium continued “Our collaboration with TETRA Technologies was fundamental in allowing Standard Lithium to gain a meaningful foothold in the south-west Arkansas Project area, and this maiden resource estimate is validation of the high resource potential we identified in this highly prospective region.  We look forward to tighter definition of this resource and developing its potential in parallel with the Lanxess property.”

Companies like Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM) who recently reported its fourth quarter and full-year 2018 results have seen the benefits of increased lithium demand.  For the year, Livent reported revenue of $443 million, an increase of 27 percent compared to 2017.

"We delivered revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 in-line with our prior expectations," said Paul Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer of Livent Corporation. "Looking ahead to 2019, we expect revenue growth in the high teens percentage, driven largely by higher volumes and a stable pricing environment."

"The fundamental drivers of demand in our industry continue to be positive. In particular, electric vehicle sales that are consistently exceeding even the most bullish forecasts, as well as battery technology developments that are increasingly favoring lithium hydroxide.  We remain confident that Livent will continue to be a leader in the performance lithium compounds industry in the coming years."

Orocobre Limited (OTC: OROCF) (TSX: ORL.TO) provided an update on the completion of pumping test activities at the Cauchari JV property located in Jujuy Province, Argentina.

The exploration program is being managed by JV partner Advantage Lithium Corp., who holds 75% of Cauchari. Orocobre owns 33.5% of Advantage Lithium's issued capital and 25% directly in the joint venture.

More lithium projects like Enertopia’s are expected as lithium demand continues to be driven by emerging technologies, and according to projections, this market has many booming years ahead of it.

For investors covering the sector, Investor Ideas has created a directory of lithium stocks in in its mining stocks directory and in its cleantech stock directories, relating to batteries.
