Pilot plant test program to produce battery grade lithium hydroxide
Keliber Oy (“the Company”) has commenced test program concerning the production of lithium hydroxide.
The expected lithium demand, especially by European based cathode chemical, lithium ion battery and electric vehicle producers, is moving rapidly towards lithium hydroxide. Keliber Oy has commenced a test program together with Outotec Finland, targeting to test in pilot scale the production of lithium hydroxide. The pilot scale test campaign includes soda leach of calcined spodumene, solution purification by ion exchange and lithium hydroxide crystallization. Based on the test program, a process flowsheet will be established and optimized. Technical and economic studies will be carried out to evaluate the feasibility of lithium hydroxide production. The Company expects the test program and the studies to be completed during Q1 2019.
“As the cathode chemical producers of the batteries for the electric vehicles to an increasing extend prefer lithium hydroxide as their lithium raw material, we have initiated a test program to test the production of lithium hydroxide in pilot scale. An option to produce lithium hydroxide in the future, would increase our flexibility in satisfying the growing demand of our future clients. We are pleased to conduct the program with our long-term partner Outotec. We expect to receive results during the coming months and consequently assess the feasibility of battery grade lithium hydroxide production during the first quarter of 2019”, says Mr. Pertti Lamberg, CEO of Keliber Oy.

Skazy skrev Etter min mening burde de gå foran med et godt eksempel å tegne seg snarest. Vi trenger ledestjerner..

Det var 2 insidekjøp i uka før vedtaket om emisjon. Det kommer vel flere i emisjonen også, i dag eller innen fredag.

Vi får håpe du har rett Råvarer.
Og det burde være noen skikkelige kjøp, ikke bare knapper og glansbilder.

Dersom eg ikkje husker feil så vart vel eine handelen gjort etter annonsering av emisjonen. Det har ikkje skjedd før. Kostprisen til leiinga meiner eg er ganske høg.

This might be old information here but it was new for me. Yle news wrote couple of days ago about Keliber that: "Sales agreements and organizing the financing is scheduled to happen in the end of the next year." https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-10495931?origin=rss (in Finnish)

Earlier I have been in belief that sales agreements or financing of Keliber could happen already earlier.

For me this means that NOM is not using its stake in Keliber for financing Engebø, at least before the end of the year.

Program om Teslas gigafabrikk på CNBC denne timen og sikkert flere ganger i kommende døgn.
Giga batterifabrikk som tar sikte på å senke batteriprisene.
Så kanskje det er dårlig nytt for oss nomere?

Programmet om batterifabrikken var kort:
Fabrikken er meget stor, med over 7000 arbeidere. + Massevis av roboter.
De kan doble alt om ønskelig.
Teslabatteriene ser ut som 18650 batterier (4400 stykk i en Tesla), koblet sammen i klynger.
Batteriprisen hadde markert falt over de siste årene, men Teslas forsprang til EU produsentene blir stadig mindre. (Så ganske likt ut nå faktisk..)
Batteriprisen er den dyreste komponenten i en elbil, og den skal fortsette å falle.

Nei det er vel snarar tvert imot godt nytt. Billigare batteri gjev større etterspørsel og batterikostnadane er den viktigaste kostnaden som må ned for at elbilen skal bli allemannseige, ikkje berre i Noreg. Større etterspørsel etter batteri vil gje større etterspørsel etter litium karbonat og hydroksid. I tillegg er det stort sett snakk om at kostnadane går ned på grunn av stordriftsfordelar og ikkje fordi råvarene vert billegare. I tillegg er det kun noko få prosent av batteriet som er litium og litium er ikkje det som er kostnadsdrivande i batteriet..

Annti, I dont understand what you mean with this: Earlier I have been in belief that sales agreements or financing of Keliber could happen already earlier this year.

Earlier you mean it could happen earlier??? If I understand it correctly it means by the end of 2018 and we are now ending 2018. Please clarify ?

When i read the article translated by google, it states the financing is scheduled to happen at the end of the year, next year. But this does not comply with the statement "The company hopes to get the environmental permit issues in place next summer, after which they will immediately be able to build". In order to build, the financing must be completed. I can not see any reason why they should continue the dialog for another year if they are ready to start building summer 2019....

Sorry, I translated it wrong! It says "the end of the next year", as _HH_ already said. So end of 2019 for the sales contracts and financing, according to the news. I corrected the original post.

The timeline makes no sense, as HH states financing and off-take agreements need to be in place before starting construction.
I emailed Keliber about latest available info with regards to off-take agreements but are still waiting for a reply. Perhaps someone inhere have some news to share, but I expect sales agreement at the latest finalized late Q1 / early Q2 2019.

The article also differs from the schedule in the last presentation:

I sent an email to Pertti Lamberg about this. I asked (in Finnish):

1) Have you announced earlier that sales agreements and financing will be finalized in the end of 2019 or is this new piece of information in Yle news?
2) What kind of construction can you start already in summer 2019 if financing is secured only in the end of the year?

He replied (my translation):

"1) Yle news regarding this is incorrect or inaccurate. To be more precise, the planned schedule is: environmental permissions summer 2019, sales agreements & financing in the second half of 2019. After this the plan is immediately to make investment decision and start construction project.
2) Refer 1)."

This makes sense to me. It is probably impossible to get financing before having all the environmental permissions. But the last presentation, however, is outdated.

Med en minimum utsettelse nå på 6 mndér før finansiering så kan man spørre deg når og hvor mye Keliber trenger i mellomfinansiering fra eierne. Forventer at NOM ledelsen tok høyde for dette i den pågående emisjonen slik at de ikke kommer i en presset situasjon og må ta en unødvendig utvanning.

Og, jo nærmere man kommer oppstart, jo flere står på lønningslisten.
Likte ikke "tonen" i Finansavisen, der de snakket om hvor mye større tap det var i Nom dette kvartalet sammenliknet med i fjor.
Selvfølgelig vil det koste mer jo nærmere man er, og ergo større underskudd all den tid man enda ikke produsere noe man kan selge.
