As Chinese buyers seem to be increasingly interested in Canadian lithium producers, Standard Lithium (TSX.V: SLL) (FRA: S5L) (OTCQX: STLHF) is stepping up its exploration efforts in the US. The Canadian energy exploration and development company hopes to profit from the booming demand for lithium resulting from the giant auto industry in China. An article discussing this reads: “China, which has the world’s largest auto market, is undoubtedly in pole position in the EV race. The Chinese government, seeking to cap carbon emissions, plans to phase out vehicles using gasoline and diesel by 2030, after which time only EVs will be sold. Climbing production of EVs is driving up demand for lithium. Battery-grade lithium has been trading at $20,000 a ton on the Chinese spot market, according to Fortune (http://nnw.fm/z50bG). With prices that lofty, Standard Lithium is stepping up its efforts to get the metal out of the ground. Its first project in San Bernardino County, California, at the Bristol Dry Lake has already started to show signs of promise. This past May, Standard Lithium signed an option agreement to conduct lithium exploration and project development under long-standing mineral claims and permits on the Bristol Dry Lake playa held by National Chloride Corporation of America. Test results from a new geophysical survey of the 35,000-acre Bristol Lake site indicate that high concentrations of lithium-bearing brines are present throughout the company’s mineral lease agreement claims.”
