Company Overview: Black Hawk Exploration (OTCBB: BHWX)
Indispensible Metal Set For World-Wide Boom
(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 09, 2009 ) New York, NY – October 9, 2009 - Black Hawk Exploration (OTCBB: BHWX) is a young exploration company about to commence lithium exploration. The Company represents a ground floor opportunity in a market reminiscent of the uranium and gold explosions. Lithium, a mineral with indispensible demand in several multi-billion dollar markets, is about to experience its biggest demand wave yet: The Automotive Industry.
Automotive Market Slated to Spend $1.5 Billion on Lithium by 2015
GM, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes and other carmakers are all fueling it as is Congress and their stimulus plan and the world’s green push—not to mention the dire need for cell phones and laptops and other personal communication devices that use batteries.
Bottom line is they can’t get enough lithium and the lithium explosion is rocking the auto world thanks to the frenzy for hybrids. Add to that, President Obama’s commitment to putting 1,000,000 hybrid cars on our roads and highways by 2015. There’s a boom going on, and there are unstoppable macroeconomic forces behind it. Consumers are being slammed at the gas pump, Washington is on a rampage to move away from our oil dependency, and the world is going green.
Most hybrids run on lithium-ion batteries that cost a fortune. Look at GM’s new Volt: the lithium-ion battery on its own costs $21,000. But the industry is clearly not deterred by cost or usage requirements. The automotive market is slated to spend $1.5 billion on lithium by 2015!
Billions from Washington
There’s $5 BILLION worth of stimulus money set aside for loans, grants and tax credits to help stimulate the development of large scale domestic production of advanced lithium-ion batteries for hybrid and electric cars! Thank you, Washington.
That’s not all. Another $2 BILLION is going toward developing the domestic battery industry and yet another $2.4 billion is for tax credits for building battery plants. Plus, consumers who buy plug-in hybrid cars powered by lithium-ion batteries get a $7,500 tax credit.
According to National Alliance for Advanced Transportation Battery Cell Manufacturing, “Lithium-ion batteries are anticipated to replace gasoline as the prime source of energy in future cars and military vehicles.” With all of these powerful forces in alignment that is exactly what it appears will happen.
Suppliers Sitting on Lithium NOW Stand to Reap the Benefits
You know what happens when demand soars but supply can’t keep up…prices get pushed higher. That’s very good news Black Hawk, especially considering lithium prices nearly tripled in the last decade!
Don’t forget that a hybrid electric car requires 3,000x the lithium used in cell phones and 100x the amount used in laptop computers. With hybrids nowhere near peak sales, the auto industry is going to continue to suck up all the lithium supply it can.
According to market research firm, Freedonia Group, hybrid vehicle sales will hit 4.5 million in 2013. That’s a massive amount of lithium car makers are going to need and BHWX should be perfectly poised to provide supply.
One of the Richest Lithium Properties on the Planet
The U.S. has an estimated 760,000 tons of lithium hidden in our own hotspot. For over 30,000 years lithium-rich brines have been quietly accumulating in Nevada waiting for the perfect storm of opportunity. Black Hawk Exploration managed to make an 1,100 acre land grab with 100% mineral rights in one of the most lithium-rich properties in Nevada: Clayton Valley.
The American Institute of Mining estimates the mineral endowment in Clayton Valley to be a staggering 750 million kg of lithium! A more recent study suggests there may be significantly MORE lithium since the groundwater is feeding the valley with NEW lithium from an underground volcanic rock. Black Hawk is focusing on brine solutions which are easier to recover. It’s quicker and cheaper than hard rock mining—and is a virtually a zero waste mining process. In the Clayton Valley, lithium brine deposits are found at depths of a few hundred meters, making it easy to extract.
8 Powerful Reasons Making the Case for an Investment in Black Hawk
•A feeding frenzy for lithium by automakers and high tech companies.
•High demand, weaker supply and the resulting higher prices that have tripled over the past few years.
•Strong demand for lithium-ion batteries growing at a rate of 20-25% a year.
•A steady stream of stimulus money from Washington totaling several billion dollars feeding the industry.
•100% mineral rights to 1,100 acres in Nevada's Clayton Valley--one of the most lithium-rich properties on the planet. 750 million kg of lithium are estimated to be hidden in Clayton Valley.
•President Obama’s commitment to put 1,000,000 hybrid cars on our roads and highways by 2015.
•An automotive industry prepared to spend $1.5 billion on lithium by 2015.
