How Adoption of Electric Vehicles is Still Fueling Large Gains for EV Battery and Lithium Markets

Palm Beach, FL – February 7, 2023 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Governments all over the world are promoting the adoption of vehicles utilizing alternative fuels as a result of the rising concerns regarding the environmental impact of conventional automobiles. EVS are zero emission cars that are becoming more and more popular for eco-friendly public transportation worldwide. To promote the use of EVs, several national governments provide financial incentives such tax exemptions and refunds, subsidies, decreased parking/toll rates for EVs, and free charging. As a result, the demand for EV batteries is increasing quickly across the board. Governments all across the world are also promoting the use of vehicles that run on alternative fuels as environmental worries about conventional automobiles continue to rise. EVs are zero-emission vehicles that are becoming more and more popular for eco-friendly public transportation worldwide. To promote the use of EVS, several national governments provide financial incentives such tax exemptions and refunds, subsidies, decreased parking/toll rates for EVs, and free charging.  A report from MarketsAndMarkets projected that the global EV battery market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth $56.4 billion in 2022 and is poised to reach $134.6 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 19.9% from 2022 to 2027.  It said that the market for EV batteries is being driven by factors such as rising demand for electric vehicles, advancements in battery technology, favorable government policies and regulations, and the introduction of new plug-in EV models.   Active companies in the markets this week include Infinity Stone Ventures Corp. (OTCQB:GEMSF) (CSE:GEMS), Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN), NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO).

 

The MarketsAndMarkets report said: “Leading EV markets like China, the US, and Germany are spending heavily in EV charging infrastructure in addition to R&D for quicker and more effective charging techniques. Automakers are anticipated to make large expenditures to meet the growing demand for EVs and to shape the industry. For the development of EVs, companies like Tesla, Volkswagen, Ford, Nissan, BMW, and General Motors have large R&D budgets.  The expected decline in battery prices and reduced R&D costs are likely to decrease the overall cost of purchasing electric hatchbacks, crossovers, or SUVs to reach the levels of ICE vehicles, leading to the rising demand for EVs.  The global EV battery market is dominated by major players CATL (China), Panasonic Holdings Corporation (Japan), LG Chem (South Korea), BYD (China), and Samsung SDI (South Korea). The key strategies adopted by these companies to sustain their market position are new product developments, mergers & acquisitions, supply contracts, partnerships, expansions, collaborations, acquisitions, and contracts & agreements.”

 

Infinity Stone Ventures Corp. (OTCQB: GEMSF) (CSE: GEMS) BREAKING NEWS:  Infinity Stone Options 38,441ha Sugar Loaf and Little Dipper Lithium Projects Near Sigma Lithium in Minas Gerais Province, BrazilInfinity Stone Ventures Corp. (FSE:B2I) (the “Company” or “Infinity Stone”), is pleased to announce that it has optioned the 38,441-hectare Sugar Loaf and Little Dipper Lithium Projects (the “Sugar Loaf Project” and “Little Dipper Project”, respectively; collectively, the “Projects”). The Sugar Loaf Project is located 15 kilometres from both Sigma Lithium Resources’ (“Sigma Lithium”) (NASDAQ:SGML) Grota do Cirilo Project and Lithium Ionic Inc’s (“Lithium Ionic”) (TSXV:LTH) Itinga Project in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Little Dipper Project is located in the state of Ceará, approximately 10 kilometres from Oceana Lithium Ltd.’s (“Oceana”) (ASX:OCN) Solonopole Lithium Project. The Sugar Loaf Project comprises 13 exploration permits, while the Little Dipper Project comprises 9 exploration permits.

 

The Sugar Loaf and Little Dipper Projects were optioned on the basis of perceived geological potential from known mineralized trends. Both Minas Gerais and Ceará have become regions of interest for hard rock lithium exploration, with a number of early and later stage exploration companies active in the region, as well as companies much closer to production such as Sigma Lithium. Brazil has been recognized as one of the world’s major high-grade lithium producers. For example, LG Energy Solutions (“LG”) recently secured a 6-year offtake agreement with Sigma’s subsidiary Brazilian Sigma Mineração SA.  LG is a battery supplier to multiple EV companies, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA).

 

Sigma’s properties are located in the municipalities of Araçuaí and Itinga, in Brazil’s mining-friendly Minas Gerais State, approximately 450 kilometres northeast of the state capital of Belo Horizonte. Sigma holds 27 mineral rights in four properties spread over 191 square kilometres (19,100 hectares), which include nine past-producing lithium mines.

 

Infinity Stone intends to conduct a satellite imagery-based spectral analysis to determine areas of interest for targeted exploration. Following this, the Company intends to mobilize an exploration team immediately to the Projects to conduct initial groundwork, including grab and channel sampling, trenching, and mapping. There will be a focus on identifying pegmatites across the claim blocks that have the potential for lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) mineralization.  CONTINUED Read this full press release and more news for Infinity Stone Ventures at:  https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-gems/
