The battery metal lithium is again on everyone's lips. The starting point in 2021 was once again the political closing of ranks after the German elections. The proponents of quick action in favor of the climate predominantly focus on electromobility, increasing the pressure, especially in the battery industry. The perfect battery has not yet been developed. The market is betting on a continuation of lithium-ion technology in the absence of alternatives. Another trend has just emerged in recent days. The precious metal shares are set to jump! No wonder because the inflation figures are taking on a momentum of their own, which the FED, in particular, has probably vastly underestimated.

    Standard Lithium - After the hype, now the S-K-S formation

    Now the technical chart formation is complete. Technicians look with astonished eyes at the trading formation that has formed at Standard Lithium. The current formation is referred to as a shoulder-head-shoulder formation, or S-K-S for short. In technical terms, this is a top formation with a high sell-off probability. From a systematic point of view, the middle of the formation, i.e. the head from the neckline of the shoulders, is mirrored downwards and then shows the potential for a correction. For the SLI share, this means a downward path of about CAD 3.50, starting with the break of the important neckline at about CAD 12.25. The correction scenario is also only valid for a break in this line; the analysis cancels if it does not occur.

    Apart from the meanwhile very high valuation, Standard Lithium continues operationally as planned. The development of the largest lithium project in North America is progressing. The latest pre-feasibility study on the SWA project in the USA sounds very promising. 30,000 tons of lithium hydroxide could be produced there in the future over a period of 20 years. Such a project would make a good lithium producer, but first, a good USD 900 million would have to be invested.

    Due to the good position of Standard Lithium, investors are allowed to dream: The lithium giants are currently under pressure to deliver, and this means more developments or strategic acquisitions. Standard has several projects and is already well advanced. But with a market capitalization of USD 1.7 billion, the share is certainly not a lightweight. Nevertheless, a takeover would be feasible for a group like Albemarle, worth almost USD 32 billion. The technical stop for Standard Lithium remains unchanged at CAD 11.80.

    Prospect Ridge Resources - Best situation for metals in Canada

    A new company from the precious metals sector is making the rounds. Prospect Ridge Resources (PRR) is a Canadian explorer in the precious metals sector. The Company's two critical projects are in Terrace, British Columbia and Val d'Or, Quebec. The debt-free company owns over 70,000 hectares, where recent notable discoveries in gold and silver have taken place. Some of the projects originated from Placer Gold's former mines. In the Douglas Creek section, which is still active today, there have been historic bonanza discoveries of up to 10 ounces. Such "golden nuggets" are unique and enhance the character of the land area.

    Located 10 km north of Terrace, the "Holy Grail" project is adjacent to the Golden Triangle. The property is easily accessible and served by several roads, logging roads, and a three-phase power line. It allows for cost-effective exploration and ensures the feasibility of engineering work. The Holy Grail block includes 12 high-grade gold and silver hard rock mines within a 15 km radius. Recent exploration dating back to 2020 has shown several outcrops with exceptional gold values of up to 984 g/t over an area of 3.5 by 6.5 km. Current activities include soil sampling, UAV surveys and a 2000m drill program. The second project near Val d'Or covers 839 hectares and consists of 15 claims. Here too, over CAD 100,000 will soon be invested in exploration.

    Prospect Ridge Resources' shares have been listed in Frankfurt since the beginning of November. The number of fully diluted shares is 59.6 million, bringing the current value to CAD 103 million. In Canada, the average daily turnover is 150,000 shares. The PRR share is an excellent value to participate in the current gold and silver rally.

    American Lithium - Quadrupled in only 3 months

    The share of American Lithium was not so well known until the summer when the rocket ignited. In only 3 months, the share price quadrupled from EUR 1 to over EUR 4. What happened? In the last few days, a landmark court decision gave the Company back ownership of 32 disputed concessions on Peru's Falchani and Macusani projects. The award went to Macusani Yellowcake SAC, a Peruvian subsidiary of American Lithium. The ruling restores full legal title to these concessions, allowing technical work to continue. Perhaps some investors have successfully speculated on this ruling.

    American Lithium Corp. is actively engaged in acquiring, exploring, and developing lithium projects throughout the Americas. Its primary focus is on the strategically located TLC lithium mudstone project in Nevada's richly mineralized Esmeralda lithium district. With its investments, American Lithium aims to enable a shift to a new energy paradigm. The Falchani and Macusani lithium and uranium development projects in southeastern Peru are essential in this regard, as they are located within good infrastructure and have already undergone a preliminary economic assessment.

    After the rapid increase, the value is now worth over CAD 1 billion. The hope is, of course, based on the strongly rising prices for lithium, as these have doubled to CNY 20,000 since August 2021. The theme remains in vogue, for now, giving new stocks ever greater momentum. Set a tight stop on American Lithium at EUR 3.50 or the equivalent of CAD 5.00 because the title is still an explorer.


    The hype in the metal sector is already well advanced. The recently very strongly risen protagonists such as Rock Tech, American or Standard Lithium have already run strongly. At Prospect Ridge Resources, a new success story could emerge.

    It has finally happened! The looming global power shortage is unexpectedly becoming a massive catalyst for a new boom in the commodities market, once again propelling lithium stocks into the spotlight. The renowned Fraunhofer Institute has reached the clear conclusion that European demand for high-purity lithium hydroxide will increase sixfold by 2030. Analysts explicitly emphasize that only companies with closed, regional supply chains will be able to successfully circumvent the looming production bottlenecks caused by power and raw material shortages. This is because Western industrialized nations aim to drastically reduce their dependence on Asia and rely on their own raw material reserves. For investors, this fundamental transformation builds a highly attractive bridge to the next generation of beneficiaries. While automotive groups such as Mercedes and Porsche are now radically securing their supply chains through partnerships, Rock Tech is poised to move into supplier status in the near future. The chemical company BASF, an indispensable partner for cathode materials, is also part of the picture. Savvy investors are using the current consolidation phase to position themselves early among the winners of this megatrend.

    This week saw a significant warning sign on global stock markets. In the Persian Gulf, the warring parties are once again exchanging fire. The price of oil rose, temporarily halting its downward trend. Meanwhile, some surprising developments are also unfolding in South Korea. The Kospi, the country's leading index, which is heavily weighted toward semiconductor stocks, is showing enormous volatility. Trading halts are occurring almost daily because share prices are moving too sharply up or down. And on Wall Street, volatility in the chip sector has recently increased, too. Share prices have seen significant profit-taking. Meanwhile, the space exploration stock SpaceX is becoming Wall Street's darling. Today, we take a look at the stocks of Samsung Electronics, Rock Tech Lithium, and SpaceX.

    Green electromobility is technically ready to go, yet the true Achilles' heel of the electric revolution lies not on the road but in the raw-material supply. While politicians speak of sovereignty, the market is grappling with exploding demand for battery raw materials. This situation is amplified by energy storage for power grids. Anyone who now grasps the bigger picture recognizes the decisive shift in power in the global race between Chinese dominance and the West's drive for independence. This is exactly where the e-car giant BYD, the emerging lithium producer Rock Tech Lithium and the traditional group Mercedes-Benz come in, with opposing but equally trailblazing strategies.
