Bob Moriarty of 321 Gold – AIS-H:TSX-V – The Lithium Boom Has a New Player in Argentina

/in /by

Bob Moriarty of 321 Gold discusses a company that has hit the ground running in Argentina’s lithium triangle.

Earlier this year someone sent me some information about a tiny Australian company listed on the AIM in London that was drilling for copper and gold in Ecuador. The company is called SolGold plc (SOLG:AIM) and I wrote about them in late March. Their price was 3.7 pence at the time.

On Monday October 31st, the shares hit 29.92 pence for an 800% gain in a seven-month period. The company wasn’t an advertiser then or now; actually they didn’t even bother answering an email I sent them asking some basic questions. They are AIM listed, which I hate, an Australian company, which I hate, and are utterly hopeless at communication. Their website looks like it was put together by a 12-year-old kid working on a school project.Lithium

But they had the goods and eventually in spite of all the negatives the market eventually got the story. I wrote about them even though I had little information and no interest other than I thought they were a screaming buy.

In the past year I’ve done a lot of research into solar power, wind power and batteries for storage. It’s a really interesting area because the economics are changing so rapidly. According to numbers coming from Tesla, the cost of one kWh of battery storage was $560 in 2008, will be $180 in 2017 and $100 in 2020 when the Gigafactory is completed. At $100 per kWh, battery storage is so cheap that solar and wind power begins to compete with coal and oil. That will be a game changer for the world economy.

As far as batteries are concerned, lithium remains the way to go and industry projections show a shortage going into 2025.

A friend of mine with an inactive Canadian listing just put together a major lithium project in the lithium triangle in Argentina. The company is named A.I.S. Resources Ltd. (AIS.H:TSX.V) and has an .h added to the symbol because the company was inactive. That will be removed after doing a financing and completing the deal.

The primary project consists of a 7500 ha property at Guayatayoc located in the center of lithium production in Argentina. Prior work on the project was for the production of borates; however, samples were taken showing a good grade of lithium. The project was approved for mining borates and the Argentine government has just allowed lithium to be added to the existing mining license.

This company is a zero brainer. They have right at 19 million shares outstanding with a price of about $0.40 a share. So call it slightly below $8 million market cap. There are literally dozens of companies out there in the lithium space with moose pasture, no hope of ever getting a mining license and market caps ten times higher than AIS.

AIS has hit the ground running. Having a mining license in hand is giant. There has been 2D Seismic done on the project and identified where the aquifers are. They are starting a pit sampling program drilling down four to five meters on a 500-meter to 1,000-meter grid. Once complete the company will do infill pits on a 100-meter to 250-meter spacing to increase the quality of the resource.

The company just added an extremely qualified lithium guy who developed two major lithium projects in Argentina and was active in three lithium projects in the last four years. The Director, Phillip Thomas, worked on the Rincom salar project in Argentina and prepared the bankable feasibility study for the property. He is one of the most experienced and top guys in the lithium field in South America and especially Argentina.

AIS is paying $150,000 USD for a six-month option on the project and there is a further US$4.5 million due at the completion of scientific studies and exploration for a 100% interest.

There are probably seventy-eighty different Canadian juniors all claiming to be the best investment in lithium. Most of them are scams and will never see production. The market believes there will be a lithium shortage through 2025 but at some point the market will be saturated. Lithium is common. It’s not the biggest project or even the best project that will cross the finish line, it’s the few who can get permitted and into production soonest that will reward shareholders.

Prior exploration showed lithium values between 200 and 800 ppm. That is considered highly economic. Magnesium to lithium ratios are less than 4-1; excellent for low cost processing.

AIS is not an advertiser. I have participated in a private placement based on knowing senior management from past deals. I think they have a home run, they certainly have one of the most qualified technical teams I have seen and they have a mining permit. That will be golden. Please do your own due diligence.

A.I.S. Resources Acquires Two Argentine Lithium Projects and Announces $500,000 Financing

/in /by

Vancouver, British Columbia – October 4, 2016 – Marc Enright-Morin, CEO of A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX – NEX: AIS.H) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce AIS has entered into an Option Agreement to purchase two lithium projects in Argentina and is pleased to announce a concurrent $500,000 financing.

AIS has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of two lithium projects in Jujuy province, Argentina, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The projects are strategically located within the Lithium Triangle of South America.

Guayatayoc and Guayatayoc III are located in Jujuy Province along highway 11, 5 kilometres from the town of Abralaite in the Puna plateau. The property covers approximately 5,000 hectares of the Guayatayoc Salar which hosts favourable geology for lithium and boron, located adjacent to the El Aguillar mountain range, the source of lithium and boron. Previous exploration on the property has returned values between 200 ppm and 800 ppm of lithium. The magnesium to lithium ratios are less than 4 to 1, excellent for low cost processing. Ulexite is seen in outcroppings and in layers only 30 centimetres below the surface. There is a natural gas terminal located in San Antonio de Los Cobres approximately 120km away. The area is being actively mined for borates.

A PhD study published in 2013 by Steinmetz identifies the locations of aquifers and provides a detailed analysis of the lithology of the basin. During the course of the study the entirety of the basin was covered with 2D Seismic.

ais-resources-guayotayoc-salar-lithium-project

Laguna Vilama is located in Jujuy Province, in northwestern Argentina along the Bolivian and Chilean borders. The property is comprised of 2,500 contiguous hectares covering the middle of the basin. Early mapping has identified a favourable environment for the presence of brines.

The Jujuy province of Argentina is a well-known, favourable mining jurisdiction. Orocobre’s new development at the Olaroz salar, hosts a JORC/NI43-101 compliant, measured and indicated resource of 6.4 Mt LCE (Orocobre website, Oct 2, 2016). Lithium Americas is developing the Cauchari salar, jointly with SQM a JORC/NI43-101 compliant, measured and indicated resource of 8.7 Mt LCE. (Lithium Americas website. Oct 2, 2016). Both are less than 100km from the properties.

Under the terms of the agreement, AIS can acquire a 100% interest in the properties by;

  1. Payment of $150,000 US for a 6 month option entitling AIS to conduct exploration, sampling, chemistry and drilling to determine the commercial viability of the projects.
  2. A onetime option payment of $4.5 Million US – payable at the conclusion of the 6 month option period.

The properties are subject to 8.5% carried-free participation required by the provincial government and a 3% royalty to the Government.

Concurrent Private Placement Financing
AIS intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of 2,000,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $500,000 (the “Private Placement”). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share (“Common Share”) of the Company and one half Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.40 for a period of one year from the date of closing of the placement provided that if the closing price of the common shares of the Company on any stock exchange or quotation system on which the common shares are then listed or quoted is equal to or greater than $0.50 for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry of the warrants by giving notice to the holders of the warrants that the warrants will expire at 4:30 p.m. (Vancouver time) on a date that is not less than ten (10) business days from the date notice is given. The Company will pay up to 10% finders’ fees.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to for exploration of the Company’s Argentine properties and for general working capital purposes.

The CEO of the company, Marc Enright-Morin, stated: “We are pleased that we have acquired such well documented and previously researched projects in the Puna plateau. We look forward to delivering positive and exciting exploration and due diligence results to our shareholders over the coming months. Strategically AIS directors believe that investment in lithium will provide significant returns in the years to come, as the world migrates to lithium battery powered technology.”

This news release has been reviewed by Mr. Phillip Thomas, BSc Geol MBusM MAIG MAIMVA CMV CIM, a qualified person, as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101.

The agreement and the financing are subject to regulatory approval, including that of the TSX-V.

We seek Safe Harbour.
