  Go where the smart money goes or smart people or both - like in case with Aben Resources, former Consolidated Abaddon Resources. Company is reinventing itself and such heavy hitter as Ronald Netolitzky will not put his reputation on a line for a quick pump and dump. Rare Earths and Gold juniors were on fire last year, so we are going whether the value is and it is not realised by the market yet - the right people are the first sign of it.

RCR: Lithium, Rare and Minor Metals Fundamentals

"What is the common sense in the so different investment situations: when Erick Sprott  buys into Avino Silver, Silver Wheaton buys into Revett Minerals, Lukas Lundin buys into NGeX Resources and invest more to keep its stake in Sunridge Gold, Panasonic buys into Tesla, Tongling buys into Canada Zinc Metals and Nova Gold sells 50% of 1 mil NON 43-101 historical resource of gold at Shotgun for shares of TNR Gold and significantly increase its position in that company? All these situations are common only in one, but very powerful in the investment world thing: industry and/or company insiders are buying in. Can they be mistaken - yes, by all means - but we like to follow the "smart" money."

"Aben Resources (formerly Consolidated Abaddon Resources) is a Canadian gold, silver, rare earth and uranium exploration company developing properties in the Yukon, northern Ontario and northern Saskatchewan.

The Company has acquired from Eagle Plains Resources (TSX.V: EPL) a 100% interest in two gold exploration properties known as the Justin (Sprogge) and Hit projects, covering approximately 459 hectares, located in the eastern Yukon Territory. The drill-ready Justin property has the potential to host both high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization. Historical grab samples from the property reported up to 59.25 g/t Au, in addition to historical chip samples returning an average of 2.38 g/t Au over 22.5 metres.

Aben has also acquired a 100% interest in the Rusty Springs silver-lead-zinc property, located north of Dawson City, Yukon, where notable drill results include 1,140 g/t (33.27 oz/t) silver, 4.72% lead and 2.30% copper over 37.5 metres (123 feet) from surface. Furthermore, the Company has attained an extensive proprietary database for the Yukon as well as the right to certain prospecting permits in the Mackenzie Mountain area of the Northwest Territories.

Aben owns the 560 acre Raleigh Lake Lithium property located in the Kenora Mining Division of NW Ontario. Provincial government mapping in the 1990's identified a "Pegmatite Field" trending through the area and in 1999 and 2000, Avalon Ventures Ltd. released drill results including 1.50% Li over 6.9 metres, 1.00% Li over 4.1 metres, and 0.56% Li over 3.2 metres. Aben completed a winter drill program in 2010 on the Raleigh Lake property. The Company was very pleased with the drilling and significant results included 9.0 metres of 1.30% Li, 4.7 metres of 0.84% Li, 2.2 metres of 1.10% Li, and 5.5 metres of 0.77% Li.

The Selwyn Lake rare earth elements property is located in the Selwyn Lake Township of, NW Ontario. The property includes 13 claim blocks covering 1219 hectares covering the anomaly. The property is accessible by road and lies 4 kilometres from a railroad. The Selwyn Lake anomaly is similar in size and element association to the lake sediment anomaly at Strange Lake (REE) Rare Earth Element project of Quest Uranium in Labrador. The area has potential for rare earth or molybdenum pegmatites or Olympic Dam style mineralization

The uranium (U3O8) deposits of Saskatchewan, Canada are arguably the richest in the world. Aben has interest in approx. 160 square kilometres of highly prospective ground within the eastern flank of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan.

Aben's Mann Lake Uranium property is located approx. 25 km to the SSW of Cameco Corporation's high-grade McArthur River Uranium Mine and 15 km to the NE of Cameco's Millennium U3O8 discovery in the Athabasca Basin. Canterra Minerals Corp. has earned a 60% interest in the Mann Lake uranium property.

The Company's Huard - Kirsch Lakes Uranium property is situated approx. 20 km to the NW of Cameco's McArthur River Uranium Mine in the Athabasca Basin. Denison Mines Corp. has earned a 51% interest in the Huard - Kirsch Lakes uranium property."

Now we have another mass market for lithium batteries in development: mass transit has a massive support from Federal and Local governments in Europe and Volvo is a very serious player here.

Electric Cars is the only commercially viable technology today to sustain mobility world wide with rising Oil prices. Lithium is at the heart of Green Mobility revolution - it is an industry adopted standard for batteries and billions of dollars are invested into battery technology and upcoming by the end of this year Electric Cars on a mass market scale. This Bull market is still very young - only a year or so from the beginning after the crash of 2008.We will provide you with few links to study the subject further:"

Highlights of the Volvo 7700 Hybrid

A fuel-saver for the environment

The Volvo 7700 Hybrid is a parallel hybrid, which means that a diesel engine and an electric motor work together or independently to power the bus. In urban traffic fuel savings are up to 35 percent and in suburban traffic approximately 20 percent.Highly efficient electric motor. The electric motor is used to start the bus and to accelerate it up to about 20 km/h, giving you considerable fuel savings and near-silent take-offs. With full torque from the start the acceleration is excellent, offering quick starts from standstills.

Stand stills without exhaust gases.

At higher speeds, the diesel engine takes over, while also recharging the batteries. Since the electric motor serves both as a motor and a generator you actually recharge when driving and braking. During idling at a red light or bus stop the diesel engine is shut off, resulting in zero emissions.

Reduced emissions

The Volvo 7700 Hybrid bus proves that low emission levels and high capacity can be combined. The Volvo system reduces emissions of CO2 dramatically, but also NOx and particulate emissions by as much as 40–50 percent. With an optional filter particulate matter can be reduced by an additional 80 percent.

Get the most out of your Volvo 7700 Hybrid

Buying a Volvo bus opens the door to a complete offer of services and products for increased productivity; from service contracts, fuel management systems and certified Volvo 7700 Hybrid mechanic on site, to driver training. There is also a wide variety of other services such as refurbishment of an older vehicle, parts online and 24/7 help with Volvo Action Service. Some of the services are offered with a fixed price per kilometre, depending on local market conditions and driving distance, while other services are one-time costs."

This is how it works

Lithium ion batteries

The Volvo 7700 Hybrid has active temperature controlled lithium ion battery cells, with individual cell charge control. This results in reliable and efficient energy storage. Volvo Buses’ lithium ion battery is known for its high energy storage capacity, low weight and low environmental impact. It is optimised so that the hybrid can run everywhere, regardless of climate. There is no scarcity of lithium and it can be exploited with low environmental impact.

Electric motor/generatorI-SAM (Integrated Starter Alternator Motor) is a permanent magnet motor running on alternating current. It also functions as a generator. Energy converter DC/DCThe energy converter provides conversion from 600V/24V 7.5 kW.

Transmission

The close ratio Volvo I-Shift automatic gear-changing transmission has software that interacts with the hybrid system and is optimised for city and commuter traffic.Powertrain Management Unit (PMU)The brain of the system is an electronic control module that regulates engagement and disengagement of electric and diesel power, as well as gear-changing modes and battery recharging.

Diesel engine

Fuel efficient 4-cylinder, 5-litre Volvo D5E diesel engine, producing 210 hp. Installed vertically in the left rear corner, just as in the rest of the Volvo 7700 range.

Volvo To Start Serial Production Of Hybrid Buses
Published:31-May-2010
By Staff Reporter
Volvo Buses said that it will now start serial production of its hybrid bus Volvo 7700 Hybrid and double-decker Volvo B5L Hybrid. These hybrid buses are expected to reduce fuel consumption by up to 35% and carbon emissions by an equal amount.
According to Volvo, the 12-meter Volvo 7700 Hybrid bus is now being built in its plant in Wroclaw, Poland and chassis for double-decker Volvo B5L Hybrid will be built in Boras, Sweden. The coaches for double-deckers will be built by Wrightbus in Northern Ireland.
Volvo’s hybrid buses feature a small diesel engine and an electric engine that can operate it independently or jointly. When the brakes are applied the brake energy is utilized and stored in a battery, which then drives the electric engine when bus accelerates again.
In addition, the engine switches off automatically at bus stops and then restarts only with the help of electric engine. The diesel engine does not start until the bus reaches 15-20 km/hour.
Hakan Karlsson, president of Volvo Buses, said: “This is a major step for the Volvo Group and for the bus industry. There is now a hybrid bus in the market, which will significantly reduce fuel consumption, strongly reduce emissions and is also commercially viable.”
