Lithium is the lightest of all the metals and is found in almost all types of igneous (formerly molten) rocks. It can also be found in mineral springs, and it is an alkali metal. Lithium is half as dense as water when in solid form and is a rare metal.
Lepidolite, spodumene, petalite, and amblygonite, are important minerals that contain lithium. Lithium is silvery in appearance and it has the highest specific heat of any solid element. The mixing of lithium with aluminum and magnesium creates lightweight alloys.
Uses for lithium include heat transfer applications and nuclear applications. It ranks high as a battery anode material as well. Other lithium compounds find use in dry cells and storage batteries. Lithium also has high electrochemical potential. In addition, lithium finds use in special glasses and ceramics.
Lithium carbide is used for the treatment of bipolar disease. Lithium chloride and lithium bromide find use in air conditioning and industrial drying systems. Lithium stearate finds use as an all-purpose and high-temperature lubricant.
Western Lithium Canada Corporation
Western Lithium Canada Corporation is a resource company focusing on the development of a large lithium resource located in northwestern Nevada. They operate in the U. S. through their wholly owned subsidiary, Western Lithium Corporation (Western Lithium USA). Western Lithium USA has leased a portion of claims on the Kings Valley Project, Nevada from Western Energy Development Corp. (wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Western Uranium Corporation).
The lease grants Western Lithium the exclusive rights to explore for, develop, and mine or produce, any lithium mineralization known or discovered on the claims. The Company’s flagship property is the Kings Valley Lithium Project. Western Lithium Corporation has their head office in Vancouver, British Columbia and a U.S. office in Reno, Nevada.
Hybrid Technologies, Inc.
Hybrid Technologies, Inc. is a development-stage technology company focusing their efforts on the development and marketing of lithium-powered vehicles and products. They also focus their efforts on commercial and residential properties. The Company has their U.S. corporate office in Las Vegas, Nevada and a Canadian corporate office in Dewinton, Alberta.
Hybrid Technologies continues to experience growing sales with scooters, bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, cars and homes as they convert to zero-emission, lithium-powered vehicles and facilities. The Company markets a line of cars under their LiV™ brand name. These include their LiV™ Dash, LiV™ Wise, LiV™ Rush, LiV™ Surge, and LiV™ Flash. They also market their four-wheeler LiV™ Bulldog.
Hybrid Technologies conversions combine their proprietary battery technology components and electricity to create their vehicle propulsion system. An electric vehicle (EV) is one that draws its power from electricity stored in batteries instead of from the combustion of liquid fuels. Hybrid Technologies' lithium battery packs are properly enclosed and contained. In addition, the federal government (U.S.) classifies lithium batteries as non-hazardous.
The projection is that the demand for lithium will increase with the development of lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries, for use in electric and hybrid-electric cars.
