February 21 Crypto Corner

Samsung Galaxy S10 Features Secure Storage for Private Blockchain Keys, Elon Musk Praises Satoshi Nakamoto, Bahrain Courts Blockchain Companies and Ohio County Auditors Consider Blockchain for Real Estate Transactions
Stocks discussed: (KSE:005930) (NasdaqGS:TSLA)

Samsung (KSE:005930) has announced that their new Galaxy S10 line of smartphones boasts a security feature to “secure storage backed by hardware, which houses your private keys for blockchain-enabled mobile services”. There is speculation that the Galaxy S10 will also feature a native crypto wallet, but rumours are as of yet unconfirmed. CCN quotes IT expert Han Ho-hyeon, who claims that the phone’s Exynos 9820 chip with PUF technology could indicate potential development of a crypto wallet.

“PUF technology has been added to the Exynos 9820 revealed by Samsung Electronics last year and if the Galaxy S10 features a blockchain-based crypto wallet, the probability of Samsung Electronics utilizing the PUF is very high.”

Tesla (NasdaqGS:TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk appeared on the Feb 19 episode Ark Invest podcast, on which he praised crypto”

"Paper money is going away and cryptocurrency is a far better way to transfer value than pieces of paper."

After garnering attention for his comments, Musk has continued discussing crypto in a series of subsequent tweets. Replying to a story about his enthusiasm for crypto on the podcast, Musk tweeted:

That said, I still only own 0.25 BTC, which a friend sent me several years ago. Don’t have any crypto holdings.”

And in reply to a user who implied that Musk was fabled Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, Musk said:

“Whoever owns the early BTC deserves a Nobel prize in delayed gratification”

Bloomberg reports that Bahrain is looking to encourage blockchain-related business. Though Bahrain has not yet issued a regulatory framework for crypto, business manager at Bahrain’s Economic Development Board, Dalal Buhejji, said the country’s central bank allows companies "to test their solution on a limited number of users, with a limited number of transactions”. Additionally, blockchain-powered IPO platform SprinkleXchange has received approval to operate in the country, along with 28 other companies.

SafeChain reports that the County Auditors’ Association of Ohio (CAAO) is considering a real estate transaction system based on blockchain tech. CAAO President and Stark County Auditor Alan Harold said:

“County Auditors are first and foremost interested in delivering efficient and competent service to Ohio taxpayers and frequently discuss ways to improve county services. In recognition of the State of Ohio’s overall initiatives to modernize government, the goal of this working group is to consider how County Auditors can be forward thinking to improve the taxpayer experience in conveying and transferring real property.  For these types of projects to be successful and widely adopted, they require collaboration; County Auditors are eager to roll up our sleeves as a group early on.”

#Lithiumstocks Snapshot: (OTCQB: $ENRT) (CSE: $TOP.C) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $ORL.TO)


#Lithiumstocks Snapshot: (OTCQB: $ENRT) (CSE: $TOP.C) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $ORL.TO)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 21, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, one of the first global investor news source covering lithium stocks issues a snapshot looking at the projected growth demand for lithium and how lithium miners are looking to meet the growing global demand.

According to Research and Markets, the lithium ion battery market is estimated to grow from USD 37.4 billion in 2018 to USD 92.2 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 16.2% between 2018 and 2024. The growth of the lithium ion battery market is driven by an increase in demand for plug-in vehicles, growing need for automation and battery-operated material-handling equipment in industries, growing demand for smart devices and other industrial goods, and high requirement of lithium-ion batteries for various industrial applications.

Electric Vehicle (EV) metals are all in demand; lithium, cobalt, rare earths, graphite, nickel, and copper. Here is how a few lithium companies are betting on the future and ramping up.

Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB:ENRT) (CSE:TOP) is looking to expand its lithium capacity, having recently announced that all drill core sample assays have been received from the four resource definition holes and one metallurgical test hole. The best hole for grade and thickness was TOP-02* that averaged 1,231 ppm li over 262 feet, Including 1,368 ppm li over 186 feet in the main reduced zone.


Drilling confirms widespread lithium mineralization on the property. This zone appears to have a regional NE trend starting from the Southwest on Cypress Development’s proposed high-grade starter pit, with an average grade of ~ 1,105 ppm Li and running through the project and then onto Noram Ventures project to the northeast where they have outlined a shallow resource to ~ 50 feet averaging 1,060 ppm li.

“Drilling has not only verified the Company’s expectations for the potential of the lithium horizon on our property but we have been able to show by the drill bit that the drill intersections to date indicate any future outlined resource could have Lithium values exceeding those of the proposed high grade starter pit envisioned on the Cypress Development property to our southwest,” stated President, Robert McAllister.

Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSXV:SLL.V) (OTC:STLHF) also reported on a maiden lithium resource statement for its approximately 30,000 acre Project (aka TETRA Project) in the south-western region of Arkansas, USA.  The maiden resource report includes 802,000 metric tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) at the Inferred Resource Category.  Combined with Standard Lithium’s other project in Southern Arkansas, this results in a total combined Arkansas lithium brine resource of 3,888,000 tonnes LCE.

Robert Mintak, CEO said, “This combined project in Southern Arkansas positions us as the largest lithium brine resource in the US; a significantly expanding market that currently relies on imports of foreign lithium.”  Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Standard Lithium continued “Our collaboration with TETRA Technologies was fundamental in allowing Standard Lithium to gain a meaningful foothold in the south-west Arkansas Project area, and this maiden resource estimate is validation of the high resource potential we identified in this highly prospective region.  We look forward to tighter definition of this resource and developing its potential in parallel with the Lanxess property.”

Companies like Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM) who recently reported its fourth quarter and full-year 2018 results have seen the benefits of increased lithium demand.  For the year, Livent reported revenue of $443 million, an increase of 27 percent compared to 2017.

"We delivered revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 in-line with our prior expectations," said Paul Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer of Livent Corporation. "Looking ahead to 2019, we expect revenue growth in the high teens percentage, driven largely by higher volumes and a stable pricing environment."

"The fundamental drivers of demand in our industry continue to be positive. In particular, electric vehicle sales that are consistently exceeding even the most bullish forecasts, as well as battery technology developments that are increasingly favoring lithium hydroxide.  We remain confident that Livent will continue to be a leader in the performance lithium compounds industry in the coming years."

Orocobre Limited (OTC: OROCF) (TSX: ORL.TO) provided an update on the completion of pumping test activities at the Cauchari JV property located in Jujuy Province, Argentina.
The exploration program is being managed by JV partner Advantage Lithium Corp., who holds 75% of Cauchari. Orocobre owns 33.5% of Advantage Lithium's issued capital and 25% directly in the joint venture.
More lithium projects like Enertopia’s are expected as lithium demand continues to be driven by emerging technologies, and according to projections, this market has many booming years ahead of it.
