Palm Beach, FL – August 17, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Global lithium mining market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period and revenue is projected to increase from USD 3.33 Billion in 2020 to USD 6.37 Billion in 2030. Increasing demand for lithium for manufacturing EV batteries is boosting market revenue growth. A report from Emergen Research says that the Global lithium mining market revenue growth is expected to be driven by factors such as increasing demand for consumer electronics products and for lithium for manufacturing Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries. In addition, rising use of lithium-ion batteries in grid-scale energy storage systems and application of lithium in ceramic and glass manufacturing are some other factors expected to boost revenue growth of the market over the forecast period. Furthermore, rapid technological advancements in mining processes is a key trend that will continue to support global lithium mining market revenue growth going ahead. The report continued: “Global lithium mining market revenue growth is also expected to be driven by increasing application of lithium in ceramic and glass manufacturing. Lithium reduces thermal expansion and firing temperatures and boosts the strength of ceramic components. Addition of lithium to glazes enhances viscosity for coatings, and enhances color, boosting strength and lustre of glaze. This is driving use of lithium in ceramic manufacturing. In addition, high coefficient of thermal expansion of lithium makes products thermal shock resistant and also imparts mechanical strength, which is boosting adoption rate of lithium for specialty applications.” Active mining companies in the markets this week include Clear Sky Lithium Corp. (OTCPK: CSKYF) (CSE: POWR), Lithium Americas Corp. (NYSE: LAC) (TSX: LAC), Standard Lithium Ltd. (NYSE American: SLI) (TSXV: SLI), American Lithium Corp. (OTCQB:LIACF) (TSX-V:LI), Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM).
Emergen Research added: “Substantial increase in manufacturing and sales of EVs has been observed globally in recent years. Volume of the world’s electric cars crossed 10 million units in 2020, which is 43.0% more than that in 2019. In 2020, 67.0% of new electric vehicle registrations were Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). Governments of various countries are encouraging adoption of electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions and environmental impact. Governments are offering incentives such as very low or zero registration fees and tax exemption. This is expected to drive sales of EVs to a significant extent in the near future. Batteries are crucial for all types of EVs, including Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). Lithium-ion batteries are used as energy storage systems in most plug-in hybrids and all types of electric vehicles. Thus, with the increase in demand for EVs, demand for lithium is expected to increase rapidly going ahead, and support revenue growth of the global lithium mining market. Increasing demand for consumer electronics globally is also expected to drive demand for lithium. Consumer electronics products include computers, smartphones, tablets, TV sets, game consoles, wearables, digital cameras, and others.”
Clear Sky Lithium Corp. (OTCPK: CSKYF) (CSE: POWR) BREAKING NEWS: Clear Sky advances Halo project and makes 1st option payment –Asset located along prolific lithium trend – Clear Sky Lithium Corp. (“Clear Sky” or the “Company”), a mineral exploration and development company focused on American lithium deposits to support domestic demand, is pleased to announce that it has completed the initial option payment and share issuance for the recently acquired Halo Project, located along the lithium trend in southern Nevada within the Tonopah mining district.
Company CEO, Patrick Morris, notes, “Our team is very excited by the Halo Project and I thank everyone involved for executing this agreement and the initial payment as quickly as they did. We feel that this project holds a lot of potential and we have already started the planning for a site visit and work programs. This acquisition lets us get in on the proverbial ground floor, in a region where lithium has already been proven to be located, and we intend to build upon that base.”
The Halo agreement includes an initial payment of US$250,000, a share issuance of 1,865,269 common shares, and reimbursement of up to $US100,000 for expenses incurred on the project. To date, $US76,000 in expenses have been reimbursed for geological work, staking expenses, and Bureau of Land Management fees.
The Halo project consists of 98 claims totaling 819 hectares (2,024 acres) and is located 6km northwest of Tonopah within Big Smoky Valley on the boundary of Nye and Esmeralda Counties. The project is south of American Lithium’s (LI; MKT Cap US$538M) TLC project and north of American Battery Technology (ABML; MKT Cap – US$502M) Tonopah Flats project. The nearby regional center of Tonopah offers ready access to skilled labor, electricity, and transport logistics.

Other recent developments in the mining industry of note include:
Lithium Americas Corp. (NYSE: LAC) (TSX: LAC) recently reported financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. HIGHLIGHTS: Argentina / Caucharí-Olaroz – Construction continues to progress towards production with key areas of the processing plant preparing to commence commissioning shortly. 33kv power line, gas pipeline and the water systems were completed and commissioned. Over 1,650 workers on site with team beginning to transition from construction to operations. With construction over 90% complete, focus has shifted to prioritize production over completion of all purification circuits. As a result, a portion of the purification process designed to achieve battery-quality is being deferred until early 2023. In late May 2022, the site achieved a milestone of 6,000,000 total person hours without a lost time injury.
As of June 30, 2022, 88%, or $653 million, of the $741 million capital budget has been spent. The Company continues to monitor the high inflationary environment in Argentina but does not expect any impact on the Company’s funding requirements for the project to reach production. The development analysis on the second stage expansion of at least 20,000 tonnes per annum of lithium carbonate equivalent continues to advance with development of the wellfield underway.
