Charay Project

Vanadium Energy Storage Solution

Nancyt — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:35:21 +0000

As reported by AOL Energy, “a rare earth metal called vanadium could provide an energy storage solution for some of the challenges renewable energy sources face. The intermittent nature of wind and solar power can make these distributed sources difficult for utilities to manage within the electrical grid. Vanadium flow batteries can accommodate renewable energy by storing massive amounts of electricity and releasing it into the grid as needed when demand increases.”

American Vanadium Corp., www.americanvanadium.com, (TSV.V: AVC), is developing the only dedicated vanadium mine in the U.S. The company’s Gibellini Project – a world-class vanadium resource in Nevada.

Maramis Choufani, Managing Editor, Las Vegas Review Tribune provides "serenity now" relief to Nancy T

American Vanadium, www.americanvanadium.com, (TSV.V: AVC), a company developing the only dedicated vanadium mine in the U.S. in Nevada hosted 10 journalists last week. The journalists traveled from as far as South Africa, the UK, Canada and across the United States to see the country’s only vanadium mine. The company’s Gibellini Project – a world-class vanadium resource in Nevada – is targeted to begin production in 2013.

Leveraging the development of America’s only domestic vanadium mine, the company’s mission is to become a strategic supplier of vanadium for products such as grid scale batteries for the energy sector and Lithium Vanadium Phosphate batteries for EVs.

“We in North America are reliant on this critical metal,” said Mr. Chris Berry, Founder of House Mountain Partners, LLC, house-mountain.com; publisher of Morning Notes and www.discoveryinvesting.com; and researcher of junior mining and resource stocks, the commodity and energy space, and the geopolitical relationship between emerging and developed economies. “Vanadium is critical to infrastructure, and critical to the quality of life that we have become accustomed to in North America. Mr. Berry added, “You don’t want to be completely reliant on something from China, or anybody for that matter.”

When Life Deals You Pulp, Make Rayon (and money)

Nancyt — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:11:44 +0000

The BBC visited Fortress Paper‘s facility in Landquart, Switzerland in September to learn about the process of making banknotes. In a video featured in the BBC’s Business section, Marco Ziethen, the production manager at Landquart, takes reporter Lucy Burton through a step-by-step guide to manufacturing banknotes. From importing, refining and bleaching cotton, Ziethen showed how cotton gets turned into currency. Ziethen also explained how, as the paper is being made, security features are embedded in order to prevent counterfeiting of whatever currency is being produced.

In this edition of Talking to Entrepreneurs, Chad Wasilenkoff, CEO and Chairman of Fortress Paper, discusses his contrarian approach to investing, and how he turned a fledging pulp and paper mill into a profitable venture with Report on Business.

Wasilenkoff was interviewed on BNN’s Commodities with Andrew Bell show on October 11th 2011. Fortress Paper, the maker of banknotes and other specialty paper, has begun the conversion of its Quebec-based mill so that it can produce dissolving pulp, a key component in the production of rayon.

The National Post‘s Danny Bradbury sat down with Chad Wasilenkoff to learn more about why he is no ordinary investor. “When others are investing in popular stocks and commodities, the chief executive of Vancouver-based Fortress Paper Ltd. is investing in businesses that would – and do – make bankers run in the opposite direction.” Read and watch all of these interviews by clicking to Vorticom’s email newsletter below:

Vanadium Goes Primetime: Meet American Vanadium

Nancyt — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:39:01 +0000

Piper Jaffrey predicts the market for energy storage will be worth $225 billion by 2020. Largely driving that growth will be the “Holy Grail” of renewable energy: grid scale energy storage in a ‘dispatchable power’ format. Dispatchable power enables utilities to deliver specific amounts of electricity at specific times, making renewables such as wind and solar grid-friendly. Dispatchable grid scale energy storage appears to finally be within reach; scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy have acknowledged the potential of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRBs) to “potentially increase the use of wind, renewable energy, and other renewable power sources across the grid.”

Meet American Vanadium Corp., www.americanvanadium.com, (TSV.V: AVC), a company developing the only dedicated vanadium mine in the U.S. The company’s Gibellini Project – a world-class vanadium resource in Nevada – is slated to begin production in 2013.

Early Bird Gets the Worm in Haynesville

Nancyt — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 16:26:26 +0000

As of mid-October, natural gas prices were still hovering around the $4 mark. Yet many of the shale basins – the Haynesville, the Marcellus, the Eagle Ford – are bustling with more activity than ever. How are operators making the economics work? For Houston-based Mainland Resources, www.mainlandresources.com, established in 2008, “the answer is simple: get in early,” reports Drilling Contractor magazine. Mainland is developing the natural gas potential of leases in the northern Louisiana Haynesville Shale play and is exploring the potential for further extensions of the Haynesville shale in Mississippi.

“Everybody can do their best to drill cost-effectively, but what you can’t change is what you paid for the leases. If your cost basis, even before you start to drill a well is high, then really there is nothing you can do other than to wait for product prices to increase,” said Mainland CEO and director Nicholas Atencio. Early entrants, like Mainland with the Haynesville, pay industry-standard prices. Those later to the game will end up paying quite a bit more.

Mainland Resources, along with partner Petrohawk, became a major player in the Haynesville in the East Holly field of Louisiana over the past couple of years before selling that acreage. We invite you to review this newsletter to see Mainland Resources in the news.
