Radius Gold Stakes 4 Lithium Brine Projects in Mexico and Options to Advantage Lithium $RDU.ca $PFN.ca
- Projects focused on large closed basin salar targets, analogous to Clayton Valley
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Sept. 12, 2016) – Radius Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RDU) is pleased to announce that it has applied for mineral concessions totalling 37,000ha covering four lithium brine targets in northern Mexico. Further Radius is pleased to announce it has signed an option agreement with Advantage Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AAL) to fund exploration of the properties.
While working in northern Mexico, Radius’ exploration team recognized the potential of the large salar basins and compiled a database from historic lithium exploration conducted by the Mexican geological survey between 1987 and 1993. Radius applied for concessions covering the targets and has attracted an experienced and well-funded partner in Advantage Lithium.
Increasing the Storage Capacity of Lithium Batteries $DGO.ca $FMR.ca $BFF.ca
Tell us about BioSolar.
BioSolar is developing electrode material technologies to increase the storage capacity, lower the cost and extend the life of lithium-ion batteries. BioSolar initially focused its development effort on high capacity cathode materials since most of today’s Li-ion batteries are “cathode limited.” With the goal of creating the company’s next generation super battery technology, BioSolar is also investigating high energy anode materials recognizing the fact that the overall battery capacity is determined by combination of both cathode and anode.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and what brought you to this work at BioSolar.
I have been working on lithium-ion battery development since 1998 when I was a graduate student in South Korea. I remember how exciting and happy I was with certain battery materials I was able to synthesize in the lab. Prior to starting my PhD work at Marquette University, I worked for LG developing batteries. After obtaining my PhD in Electronic Material, I then joined Johnson Controls Inc., Battery Tech Center also located in Milwaukee, WI in 2008.
