About The Company's Lithium Division
The company's new Lithium Division will focus on the acquisition, exploration and development of Lithium Projects in Canada. In the United States, the company will use its wholly owned U.S.A subsidiary to acquire and develop projects in active mining camps in Nevada, Arizona and California.
Management believes that these New Age Metals, Lithium, PGM's and Rare Earths, have robust macro trends with surging demands and limited supply. Going forward, this new division will explore for the minerals needed to fuel the demand for energy storage and other core 21st Century Technologies.
In addition to the Lithium Brine potential of the CV West Li Project in Nevada, the company has and is developing Hard Rock Lithium Projects in Canada (April-21st-2016-PFN- Clayton Valley). The Lithium One Project in southeast Manitoba: May-3rd-2016-PFN-Completes-acquisition-Lithium-One- is located 8.5 kilometers south of the Tanco Mine Site, North America's richest and longest operating Hard Rock mine for Tantalum, Lithium and Cesium. Recently, PFN adds another Manitoba site: May-24th-2016-PFN-grabs-Lithman-West-Lithium-Project, along with a 3rd site: June-15th-2016-Pacific-North-West-Capital-Acquires-4th-100%-Owned-Lithium-Project-Lithman-North.
Lithium and Platinum group metal prices have improved dramatically in recent months. Lithium supplies remain in deficit relative to their demand. Both metals groups are used for the expanding worldwide automobile industry (conventional and electric). In the case of PGM's, demand is increasing for Autocatalysts, a key component for reducing toxic emissions for automotive, gasoline and diesel engines. In regards to Lithium, there is an ever increasing demand for batteries in cellphones, laptops, electric cars, solar storage, wireless charging and renewable energy products.
