  "New Cool" is Electric now and Korean automakers are stepping up to the competition in the electric space. Production of Lithium cells and batteries is already one the major strongholds of the Korean companies, now they are actively engaging in securing the supply of Lithium and Electric Cars will be the next step. Korean government supports the new industry with massive investments and we expect Korean companies to be in direct competition with Japan and China EV automakers in the nearest future. 

"Lithium is a metal that may not be top of mind for many investors, but it's common in everything from cellphones and iPods to laptops and tablets.

Now, the rising demand for electric cars will help give an additional boost to lithium prices and stocks, analysts say."

Competition draining Japan's hold on battery materials market

BY AKIHIRO NISHIYAMA

With demand for energy-dense lithium-ion batteries climbing worldwide, Japan's materials makers are facing tougher competition from China and South Korea, loosening their grip on the industry's top spot.

In response, many companies are gearing up to raise production ahead of an expected surge in demand for electric vehicles and hybrid cars.

On July 20, Kureha Corp. President Takao Iwasaki announced that his company, in cooperation with trading house Itochu Corp., plans to set up new materials factories in Japan and the United States by 2013 with a total investment of 10 billion yen ($127 million).

"Lithium-ion will dominate the battery market of this century. We hope to control that market with Japanese materials," Iwasaki told a news conference.

Kureha now holds a 70 percent share in the international market for adhesives for cathode materials, a principal material used to make lithium-ion batteries.

It also aims to grab a 20 percent share by 2015 in the market for anode materials, another crucial material for lithium-ion batteries.

The other main materials used in lithium-ion batteries are electrolytes and separators.

The batteries generate electricity when ions travel between the cathodes and anodes. Lithium-ion batteries have much larger capacities than nickel-hydride batteries.

At present, lithium-ion batteries are mainly used in mobile phones and personal computers, and the lithium-ion battery market is worth around 1 trillion yen. Japanese materials makers are the top suppliers in many markets.

These makers are also keeping a sharp eye on the market being generated by next-generation vehicles in development at Toyota Motor Corp., Nissan Motor Co. and other carmakers.

The overall market for lithium-ion batteries, including for products other than cars, is expected to grow to somewhere between 5 trillion yen and 8 trillion yen by 2020. To prepare for rapid expansion, Japanese materials makers are accelerating advance investments in production.

Showa Denko KK currently occupies 50 percent of the market for aluminum-laminated films used to encase batteries. On July 19, the company unveiled a plan to expand its production of anode materials by spending 3 billion yen. It also said that it will make inroads into the electrolyte market by 2013.

Ube Industries Ltd., now the world's top producer of electrolytes, announced July 6 it will establish its first overseas production base in the United States in 2012 in a joint venture with U.S. chemical maker Dow Chemical Co. Using Dow's sales networks, Ube Industries aims to sell its products to U.S. carmakers.

Asahi Kasei Corp., the world's largest producer of separators, also plans to increase production by spring 2013 through additional investments of 6 billion yen in its factories in Miyazaki Prefecture.

Japanese materials makers have secured a market share by earning the trust of clients by providing high-quality products. But the rising tide of competition is spurring them to hurry along their investments.

Battery makers, which rely on materials manufacturers, are already losing their market shares.

According to Techno Systems Research Co., South Korean makers grabbed 38 percent of the world market for lithium-ion batteries on a shipment basis in the January-March quarter of 2011, matching that of Japanese manufacturers for the first time.

By maker, South Korea's Samsung SDI Co. topped Japan's Sanyo Electric Co. in the April-June quarter of 2010, and has since held onto the top position.

Even more of a concern, "about 1,000 materials makers have emerged" in China, said an industry source.

South Korea's LG Chem Ltd., the world's third-largest lithium-ion battery producer, has begun to produce materials by itself.

A price war has already erupted in the lithium-ion battery materials market for mobile phones.

Showa Denko says the average price of anode materials per kilogram has shrunk by half from the 2,000 yen of two years ago.

Hitachi Chemical Co., the world's largest producer of anode materials, announced in June it will set up a new factory in China, the country that produces graphite, the raw material for anodes. The move apparently is aimed at reducing production costs.

Will a similar battle take place in the market for materials to make lithium-ion batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles?

"In the market for cars, where demand for safety and high quality is especially strong, Japanese makers' dominance will continue for the time being. But, as some materials become usable in both mobile phones and cars, their use will spread. That will force Japanese makers to strengthen their price competitiveness," said Shinobu Takeuchi, a SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. researcher."

  We have a very interesting market activity in our Lithium top pick today. This group is fighting its demons all the time. TNR Gold was punished in the market quite a few times already, but with International Lithium this Flash Crash has happened for the first time.

"CS. Naked Short Selling or just market manipulations?

  We have almost missed this one - we were busy on Friday. When we checked our screen with TNR Gold trading below 0.16CAD at one point, we thought it is a Flash Crash in the markets again." But markets were...fine, DOW was strongly Up, US Dollar down and Gold was holding at new high. Situation became even more interesting when we have checked the tape:" 

  Somebody managed to pick up a very few cheap shares and somebody has checked out the authorities' take on it. Company is not sleeping and IIROC was on top of things straight from the opening - they must be monitoring the company after TNR Gold's "hedge funds" games with automatic trading. Canada is famous, unfortunately, for the naked short trading in juniors and other really nasty things, when narrowly traded juniors can be easily manipulated in the market place. But this company is different and has already recovered, we do not think that it is connected somehow to the TNR Gold litigation case on Los Azules - it must be just really a "fat finger" trade again.
  Another very interesting observation about this group is that insiders in both companies continue to buy the shares with every opportunity in TNR Gold and International Lithium as well.

"TNR Gold Corporate Update Post Lithium Spinoff and Litigation Update On Los Azules case. Very interesting part is the link to the new Los Azules page on TNR Gold website, now we can see the recent Judgement and Application from TNR Gold for the new claim on Los Azules. Recent sell off in the company share price looks like another punishment - we have seen it a few times already during the last year. Will be interesting to see who is buying. This tree will not be shaken, these people know what they are doing and the magnitude of recent litigation is matched very well by the profile of the people involved in it."

International Lithium Corp. Market Unduly Affected by Trade Input Error

July 4, 2011 - 02:39:49 PM

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 4, 2011) - International Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ILC)(TSX VENTURE:ILC.WT) (the "Company") announces that due to a trade input error, an action completely unconnected to the Company and independent of the Company's business, there was an undue impact on the Company's market price.

At the market open this morning, July 04, 2011, 50,000 shares of the Company were erroneously sold 'At Market' (the "Trade") which materially decreased the share price of the Company. The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada ("IIROC"), the national self-regulatory organization which oversees all investment dealers and trading activity on debt and equity marketplaces in Canada, made a ruling for the purpose of market integrity to allow the Trade to stand and assigned a $0.14 market floor for the Trade share price.

"The erroneous trading activity and resulting fluctuation in our share price that occurred this morning is absolutely unrelated to any aspect of our Company and is an unfortunate isolated event," states International Lithium Corp. President Mike Sieb. "There has been no material change to the Company or its projects and I maintain full confidence in our endeavours moving forward."

ABOUT INTERNATIONAL LITHIUM CORP.

International Lithium Corp. is an international rare element metals ("REM") mineral exploration company with an outstanding portfolio of projects, strong management ownership, robust financial support and a prominent lithium product manufacturer as a keystone investor.

ILC currently has 9 active REM projects, well balanced between lithium brines in Argentina and Nevada and hard-rock pegmatites in Canada and Ireland. The Company's primary focus is the Mariana lithium brine project, a salar or 'salt lake', covering an expansive 160 square kilometres and strategically encompassing the entire basin. Mariana is located in the renowned South American 'Lithium Belt' centred around the junction of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile that is host to the vast majority of global lithium resources, reserves and production. The Mariana lithium brine project ranks as one of the more prospective salars in the region.

Complementing the Company's lithium brine projects are the REM pegmatite properties. The key outstanding characteristics shared by these hard-rock REM projects are their underexplored nature, excellent accessibility, under-analyzed rare metals' history, significant potential that additional exploration will add project value and ultimate potential ability to develop the projects to meet the global technological growth in demand for the REM suite of elements.

International Lithium Corp.'s mandate is to increase shareholder value through aggressive advancement of its core projects and to source joint venture partners to expand the scope and diversify risk of its exploration effort.

On behalf of the Board,

Mike Sieb, President - International Lithium Corp.

  After recent Lithium products price increase by industry majors we are not surprised to find this bullish report on our Mega Trend sector. We will address the news about Rare Earths new found bounty on the Pacific ocean floor in another post, but will mention now that by this time our loyal readers should already be able to distinguish between Lithium, Rare Metals and Rare Earths. Economic deposits and dirt containing anomalous elements will the story for another entry.

  "Lithium Market: FMC Lithium Announces Global Price Increases. We have another one of Lithium Big Four announcing the global price increase for the lithium products. Now we can realize why all major industry insiders were searching and making deals in order to secure Lithium supply. Nobody would like be at the mercy of the Lithium OPEC when Electric Cars will go mainstream in the next five years time. Talking about OPEC - it took IEA to announce the release from Oil Strategic Reserves in order to bring Oil prices down. QE 3.0 has been started with this move - welcome into the Election Cycle. 

  Release was not very dramatic: 60 mln barrels - it is below one day world's oil consumption - but is very symbolic. All the talk about increasing Oil output can not bring the Oil prices down. We will take as a sign of the high Oil prices to stay. Before QE 3.0 will be unleashed to support the diving economy, Inflation fears must be knocked down and we had PPT operation in the Gold and Silver markets again yesterday. General markets were pumped up into the close from the dangerous waterfall zone on the technical side."

  We have a very interesting news today from one of the Big Four in Lithium business. Rockwood Lithium increases lithium products prices up to 20% to the level of 2008.  This development is very encouraging for the all lithium industry and particularly Lithium Development plays. Maybe, recession in this sector is over and the Electric Cars and Mobiles sectors growth will be driving demand for the Green metal further.

  Asian players are ahead of the game here and secured the stakes in the promising companies in order to secure supply of Lithium and are considering it as a strategic commodity. 

Energy Resources: China secures strategic Latin lithium deal: Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd acquires stake in International Lithium Corp.

"International Lithium Corp. (ILC) has appointed Xiaoshen Wang from Ganfeng Lithium as a non-executive director to the ILC board. Ganfeng Lithium takes its strategic investment in International Lithium very seriously and has appointed its top officer to the ILC Board. Couple of other insiders have announced their stake in International Lithium today. Company is very tightly held: TNR Gold has just under 30%,  Non Executive Chairman Kirill Klip has 11.5%, Ganfeng Lithium has 9.9% and two other major TNR Gold shareholders have just under 10% and just under 6% respectively. Almost 70% of the company is held by strong insiders' hands and Ganfeng Lithium has the agreement in place to increase its stake in ILC."
