When he's away , king Conrad along . That's right . And then we always need more Jeff Zekin , too , always . I'm Don Armstrong , glad you could join us on this Saturday for our live broadcast , if you're listening on a podcast or something that is recorded . Thank you again for joining us . We appreciate you In all of the countries , in all of the countries around the globe ?
Speaker 2What ? 50 someone is it Something like that ?
Speaker 151 . 51 countries now around the world .
Speaker 2So there you go .
Speaker 1So , wherever you are around the globe , thank you for joining us . Send us a hey , hey how you doing .
Speaker 1Greg Reimer is president and CEO at Surge Battery Metals , a pure play lithium company Focused on a flagship project called Nevada North lithium lithium project in Elko County , nevada . He is an accomplished leader who has served as an executive and one of the largest Canadian utilities and has held several senior government roles in British Columbia , including as deputy minister of energy , mines and petroleum resources . This guy's smart and he knows his stuff . And a very good Saturday morning to you , greg , and thanks so much for joining us .
Speaker 3Good morning , happy to be here with you . Well , thank you .
Speaker 1Are you ? Are you still in Canada ? I am yes . Where are you ?
Speaker 3In British Columbia , canada , british .
Speaker 1Columbia , okay , very good . Well , we have another . You have another Canadian guy that we know from Houston , auto Ramah , and he's a big car guy , so I hope he's watching listening to us today as well . I'm sure he is At any rate , let's talk about the Nevada North Lithium Project in Elko County , nevada . What is it ? I know that lithium batteries are a big thing when it comes to EVs these days , right ?
Speaker 3Well , the Nevada North Lithium Project is exactly that a lithium exploration project . We've been working hard on this project for approximately three years . Really , you know , the elevator speech show on the project is we have high grade lithium probably the highest lithium clays in the United States , and its near surface in mining friendly Nevada , and most of all , it's a made in America product .
Speaker 1What does lithium look ?
Speaker 3like Lithium's a mineral , and it is the largest component of batteries for for EVs .
Speaker 1And why is it so important a portion of the battery ? Why have automakers designed the lithium as a catalyst , I guess in these batteries , and why is so much of it being used ?
Speaker 3Well , it's a key component in the , in the storage of of electricity is in the batteries , which allows for the significant range that goes along with battery development of .
Speaker 1as we see it , so didn't we start with batteries on the lithium batteries and our watches ? So gosh back in the eighties .
Speaker 3Yeah , lithium batteries are used for everything . I mean they're in your battery lawnmower , your weed eater , your iPhone and your EV .
Speaker 1How much lithium is used in , let's say , a battery on your EV ?
Speaker 3Oh , it's a fairly large amount , a fairly significant amount because it's the largest component of the battery and a heaviest component . I don't have off the top of my head the exact number there , don .
Speaker 1Do you measure it in weight ? Do you measure it ? Yes , yeah , you measure it in weight . Okay , so it takes for one car . It takes a lot of lithium for the battery that goes in a car , typical , absolutely , absolutely .
Speaker 3Like I said , the battery is the most expensive part of an EV .
Speaker 1Yeah , how long does it take to mine enough lithium to sell to a battery maker ?
Speaker 3Well , it depends on the source of the lithium . In our case , we're not in production yet , we're at the exploration stage . In our case , the lithium is mixed in with clay , so we have a lot of lithium near surface . So it's a process of extracting , kind of strip extracting product and separating the lithium from the clay . It's new technology and we're working to develop that along with others . There's others that are further ahead than us and it's very exciting .
Speaker 1I can only imagine the kind and expense of the equipment , not only to get it out of the ground but to separate it .
Speaker 3Right . I mean there's a project about 180 miles to the west of us that a company called Lithium America is developing their Thacker Pass project , and they're in construction now and they're well in excess of a billion dollars in terms of cost .
Speaker 2Greg , how do you ? I'm sorry , I was going to say are there other states in the US that have this opportunity , where there's lithium in the state or underground or close to the surface ? Is it expensive to mine , I mean , is it you're not just going to strip it or dig it and then it's going to be there ?
Speaker 3Yeah , there's different types of mining lithium In our case , as I said , it's attached to the clays and the clays are so far concentrated in Nevada . Other types of mining around the world , not just in the United States , but there's hard rock and there's brine where the lithium's in water solutions . So it really depends on the process . We see our process as being cost effective , especially with our resource close to surface .
Speaker 1How do you find lithium ? How do you know that it's ?
Speaker 4there in . That's a question .
Speaker 1Yeah , in this North Nevada project , Elko County .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's a good question . I'm not a geologist but our geologist found us . He was out kind of staking and doing some samples with his wife , who's also a geologist , on her 65th birthday . So he took some samples , had those samples analyzed and they were promising and so he staked the area . We came along and bought the staking from him , did some surface exploration and surface exploration and simply digging down a couple of feet , putting the dirt in a bag and sending it off to the lab to be sampled . So we got some eye-popping results from that and then we decided to start drilling and determine whether what we're seeing at surface really permeated subsurface .
Speaker 2So it's not like a Geiger counter or what they call a mosquito that you could just go over and , as a reaction to it , like iron ore or something .
Speaker 3No , not at all . You've got to take the product and have it analyzed in the lab and like oil exploration , then Somewhat .
Speaker 5And the product you deliver to the battery makers looks like what .
Speaker 3Well , we will measure our product in lithium carbonate equivalent and develop a battery grade lithium .
Speaker 5So is it like a white powder ? Is it a ? That's correct , oh wow .
Speaker 1So is this turning into the 1849 Gold Rush in California ?
Speaker 3Absolutely is . There's certainly a lot of activity .
Speaker 2That's the first thing that came to my mind . We're all getting shovels . We're going to dig up your backyard .
Speaker 5And who else out there in the industry is producing lithium at these volumes ? What other countries ?
Speaker 3Well , there are countries all over the world , and in Argentina , chile , china . You know most of the lithium consumed , 85% of the lithium consumed in the United States , has some connection to China , whether it's mine there or processed there . And you know the Biden administration has taken a decision with the Inflation Reduction Act to try and build made in America . You know lithium battery , ev battery supply chain and that's all the way from , you know , getting the lithium out of the ground to producing batteries so that it's not reliant on one jurisdiction wholly .
Speaker 2So we find the lithium , we know that it's there , and we send it to China to be processed , or do we process it here ?
Speaker 3Well , there's only one lithium producing mine in the United States , and that's a small mine in Nevada . So all the lithium is really exported and , for example , if you had a hard rock lithium mine in Canada , you'd send your product to China to be processed .
Speaker 1So that's the direction , oh wow , Well , I think that I would want to get into lithium processing business . It sounds to me .
Speaker 3Well , I mean , that's what the federal government in the US is trying to promote . They've made an America supply chain from source to battery production , and that's what the Inflation Reduction Act is all about .
Speaker 5So these other lithium mines around the world are owned by who ?
Speaker 3A multitude of people , some state owned , some owned by companies in China . They've really got behind this in the last few years and really taken control of the resource throughout the world .
Speaker 5Yeah , we had talked to a guy from Portugal that did cobalt mining and he was telling us that 70 , 80% of the cobalt mining operations worldwide are currently owned by the Chinese as well . So they're trying to .
Speaker 1It just doesn't seem like it's a the whole market . That's a healthy way to go is to put all of your eggs in one basket .
Speaker 5Ie China , that somebody else controls Right .
Speaker 1Because you know it would be very easy for them to say we're going to cut off the United States , or where would we be then ? We would really not be in a good spot . I wouldn't think .
Speaker 3No , absolutely . I mean we've seen recently in geopolitical issues affecting supply chains . You know all over the world , whether it's , you know , China's decision a while ago to restrict graphite exports , or what we've seen in Russia Ukraine war with restrictions on weed exports . So you know having a having a critical mineral and a future , you know important mineral to you know . To you know adoption of transportation or clean transportation and having to rely on some other countries is not a , not a good policy position for the United States to be .
Speaker 2So where do you see this going in the future ? Are we going to be ? Are we working to be independent for ?
Speaker 5for that product ?
Speaker 2Yes , self-sufficiency . Is it five years down the road ? 10 years down the road ? Are we going to have more of this in other states ?
Speaker 3Well , I think so . I think so and and you know , I don't think that I mean governments have to decide , but I don't think that a particular jurisdiction needs to be self-sufficient per se , that I think that a jurisdiction that needs to be sufficient enough so that they can write out the kind of ebbs and flows of worldwide markets and not be reliant on , say , one country or one jurisdiction Are there any in Canada ? There are minds being developed in Canada . Yeah , okay , good , right .
Speaker 1And I know that they got a lot of oil . Up there too , they have some hot piss .
Speaker 3Yeah , more friendly jurisdiction .
Speaker 1Yes , and we like that , we like our Canadian friends a lot . Love you whiskey .
Speaker 5We just need to get the pipeline in .
Speaker 1Yeah , I think part of it's there and I think that that's probably going to happen pretty soon .
Speaker 5Yeah let's hope so . How is lithium , now that I bring it up ? How is lithium transported ? Is it transported as a solid product , or is it liquefied and piped places ?
Speaker 3Likely . Rail transport is a solid product absolutely .
Speaker 5And is it a toxic material while it's being transported ?
Speaker 3No , not at all .
Speaker 5And it's not flammable either . Not pardon me , there's no flammability to it .
Speaker 3Not in transportation , though .
Speaker 2All right , we're digging up your backyard . So you don't have to worry about the ground catching on fire while you're digging it up .
Speaker 1No , ok , there's none of that . So where do you stand today ? I know that you've discovered it . It's there , it's right below the surface . Have you started mining it yet ?
Speaker 3No , I mean it's a bit of a process to go from discovery to mine production . You've got to prove your resource , you've got to get kind of environmental permits and you don't get through all that process . So 2024 is going to be a big year for us . We're just in the process of doing what's called in the industry a maiden resource estimate . So that'll be kind of technically estimating how much resource we have , and then we'll go through and do a preliminary economic assessment which basically says yes , with your resource , your high grade near surface , and with this size of resource you can have an economic mine . And so from there we'll drill out the rest of the resource and then do what we call a bankable feasibility study , which is the kind of last step before going into kind of financing , mining , developing Very cool .
Speaker 1Greg , you're a very smart guy and I'm very impressed , and certainly not anywhere close to your level of knowledge when it comes to this sort of stuff . Where did you gain all of this knowledge , besides the fact that you're 23 years old now ?
Speaker 3Well , I've had the benefit of having a very diverse career . My bio said I was the Deputy Minister of Energy , mines and Petroleum Resources in British Columbia here , which essentially is the most senior bureaucrat in that department , kind of like in the Assistant Secretary of Mining or Energy in the US , kind of equivalent . So you end up picking up a lot of stuff . I worked in an electric utility . I've been a regulator in the oil and gas business also . So with 63 years of life and working knowledge you pick up a few things every now and then .
Speaker 1Yeah , well , that you do , and I'll tell you that you're one smart guy , and we wish you the best of luck in this endeavor . So what is the next marker that you're reaching for in the short term ?
Speaker 3Yeah , the short term is really just getting our mineral resource estimate done and then our preliminary economic assessment . So we feel really fortunate not only to be in this business but to be in this business in the United States and be part of what folks in the United States are doing in terms of creating this maiden American supply chain . I think it's from my experience in government . I applaud the government for what they're doing . It's certainly the right thing to do the burgeoning development of this .
Speaker 2you're in the right place at the right time
Automotive Scandals and Nissan's Production Decision
Speaker 2. What do you drive ? What kind of vehicle do you drive ?
Speaker 3I've got a BMW i4 on order , so an electric vehicle on order . So they've released two-wheel drives of that vehicle and they're just in production on all-wheel drives and up here in Canada and even all-wheel drive there you go .
Speaker 1Yeah , you don't have any hot rods or anything , do you ? Stuffed in the garage ?
Speaker 3Well , I've got a . I've got a three series BMW convertible that's as close to hot rod as Well that'll , that'll we .
Speaker 1We can appreciate that . Well , greg , it's , it's a real honor and pleasure to talk to you . Sir , thank you very much , and we need to keep up with you . So it does this a surge , battery metals have a website or anything that we can ? Yeah , absolutely search battery metals calm .
Speaker 3We trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the over the counter market in the US under in the US Nilly , nil I F and in Canada under NIL I hey , I honey moaned it to CN Tower back in the day .
Speaker 2Yeah , we did that .
Speaker 1Greg , take care and stay warm up there . And again , we thank you very much for joining us this morning .
Speaker 3You guys have a great day .
Speaker 1You do the same , greg Reimer . Very cool , I know , and once again learned something new that I had absolutely no clue about an EV and he's got a connection to lithium .
Speaker 2So that's great , that's awesome .
Speaker 1And I'm taking my lithium medications .
Speaker 2Oh boy .
Speaker 1Yeah , okay , there's that . Well , Conrad's car corner is what the time is now here on the in real-time car talk show . Yeah , what's in the car corner ?
Speaker 5This is a new feature that we're gonna talk about some massive car scandals that have rocked the industry through years . Love that I've got nine of them . We're gonna talk about three of them .
Speaker 1This is kind of like the ground .
Speaker 2Do I have the wrong one ? Go ahead , I'll find it . I got the wrong one .
Speaker 5Go ahead . So you know , with so much revenue at stake , automakers are highly incentivized to find ways to beat their competition and gain market share . As an industry , maximizing profits by reducing operating cost often is the course that they take . Sometimes result benefit Is the automotive customer will have improved technology , performance and safety . But occasionally the effect is a disaster . And some of those disasters are out there and some of it's caused by one manufacturer attacking the other .
Speaker 5So in that General Motors had some advertisements to kill the Chrysler air flow . You got to remember back in the day this was , the Chrysler air flow was quite a inventive car . They had hired Orville Wright to build a wind tunnel . And what they found out ? That the Chrysler products were more Aerodynamic in reverse than they were going forward . So with Orville Wright , they created the Chrysler air flow . Well , general Motors came out and said that , oh , chrysler stole our top secret plans in In developing the air flow and producing the air flow , because the air flow is actually a production vehicle . And and then , after that didn't work , general Motors came out and said , oh , this car is totally unsafe for the market , you know , and I always thought well , that's kind of dumb if that was your top secret project and it's unsafe for the market . How does that work ? Because Mary wasn't in charge back then .
Speaker 2All right oh .
Speaker 5But you know , so you know that was that was one of the big scandals and that was that was through the Mid to late 30s . That was going on as GM was trying to shut down the Chrysler air flow production . The next thing that happened was the Tucker . Now , tucker was a very inventive car . It was a rear engine car that used basically a helicopter engine to propel it , very underpowered in what it was . But one of the other things about the Tucker is , as you steered the front wheels , that Cyclops light in the middle of the hood kind of turned with it , which was somewhat illegal in some states to have moving lights on the vehicle . So Tucker actually had and General Motors , chrysler and Ford were all attacking Tucker because in his day Tucker was in the 40s what Elon Musk is now in the 272 .
Speaker 5Somebody was bringing out something new and innovative and all the manufacturers are out trying to shut them down , which they did through a bunch of different lawsuits and stuff . So that was another one of the scandals that rocked the industry , as Ford , general Motors and Chrysler brought lawsuit after lawsuit against Tucker and ended up shutting them down . Great movie if you've never seen the movie .
Speaker 1Tucker , it is good , very good , well worth seeing to understand exactly what was going on .
Speaker 5Yep . And then the third of this week is the Pinto Fire . Pinto was Ford's entry into the expanding segment of compact cars . The car was an early success . They sold 352,000 Pintos in 1971 . They sold 544,000 Pintos in 1974 . Killin' the car actually .
Speaker 5And actually it had quite a fatal flaw that Ford knew about before they produced the car and that was the placement of the fuel tank in a rear . Impact could leak , didn't take much to spark . Gasoline could cause a fire and it did and there was quite a lot of loss of life . And the Center for Automotive Safety requested and it's a recall all Ford Pintos , all Ford Pintos , yeah , all Ford Pintos , ford Pintos . Due to the gas tank design and defect that made the vehicle susceptible to the fire and it was low to moderate speed impact collisions . It wasn't even a high speed impact collision . So that's the first three . We'll get on to a few more next week . We'll talk a little bit about Daimler , some more about some other Ford interesting stuff and some Volkswagen scandals .
Speaker 1Okay , sounds good . Nissan has told suppliers it is considering moving US production of the next generation Rogue crossover to Japan If the automaker cannot lower its purchasing costs . The Rogue Nissan's best selling the Rogue Nissan's best selling US model is built in Smyrna , tennessee , and Kyushu , japan . The compact crossover accounts for one third of Nissan sales in its largest market . At a meeting at Nissan North America headquarters in Franklin , tennessee , on January 11th , automaker told suppliers it expects a significant reduction in the cost of parts for the fourth generation Rogue , scheduled to begin production late in 2026 . Nissan asked suppliers for an average of a 20% cut in parts pricing . People briefed on the matter told Automotive News some suppliers were asked to slash prices by up to 30% . Oh boy , losing the Rogue would be an enormous blow to Nissan's six million square foot Smyrna assembly plant , which employs 6,700 workers A lot . The Rogue accounts for about 40% of the factory's annual output , or nearly 200,000 vehicles . Nissan sold 271,000 Rogue crossovers in the US last year , a 46% increase over 2022 . Matter of fact , my daughter bought one . Nissan's US factories in Smyrna and Canton , mississippi , currently at 52% combined capacity utilization , need volume products to operate profitably . According to Sam Fiorani auto forecast solutions vice president , nissan has asked suppliers to submit price quotes on the new Rogue by the end of this week . Nissan North America will present its manufacturing cost plan to Nissan Motor Company executives by the end of January and February . Nissan should determine whether the next Rogue will continue to be built state side .
Speaker 1And speaking of that , tesla had a blockbuster 2023 , as it shares more than doubled in 12 months . But 2024 is starting on a different note , with Elon Musk's electric vehicle maker off to its worst start to any year of its existence . The company has lost more than $94 billion in market valuation in just the first two weeks of 2024 . Not hard to figure out why , as the Austin , texas-based EV maker has been pounded by a barrage of negative news and about face on EVs from the car rental giant Hertz Global . Yet another price cut for its cars made in China in signs of rising labor costs . All of this comes in the face of slowing growth and demand for EVs , especially in the US .
Speaker 5That may be week three of my automotive scandal .
Speaker 1Yeah , very much could be . So I tell you these things because I think that it's important that we all understand that not everything is rosy in the EV market these days and a lot of jobs depend on rosiness in the EV market and I'm not an EV fan personally . I respect them , I got it . It's just not right for me personally .
Speaker 2Hybrid yes , ev Not so much .
Speaker 5Have that union contract work out for you .
Speaker 1Yeah , hemmingscom sold cars . Round up this week includes a 1959 Cadillac Coupe Deville a 59 . Coupe .
Speaker 2Deville . Do you know how big this thing , what a boat that was .
Speaker 1I love it . This is an ocean liner . Tub it out . Yeah , what would you expect that ?
Speaker 2car to go for . It'll go big , I'm going big , I'm going $36,289 .
Speaker 5I'll say $45 . Mars it's $25 .
Speaker 1$38,850 , and it is a beauty .
Speaker 5Missed it by that much .
Speaker 1It is a two door and it is huge and it's a hard top and it's bad to the bone .
Speaker 2They always are .
Speaker 5And it wouldn't fit in any garage , I tell you what ?
Speaker 2my dad had a Coupe . Well , my dad had several Cadillacs , but you park them in the garage . This is back in the 60s 70s . The big bumpers they're not the bad cars . They weren't that big but the front bumpers . They actually touched the wall in the garage . Yeah , I can certainly understand that .
Speaker 1And my car , a 1969 Chevy Camaro Silver . It looks like an RS . I don't think it's an SS , but it sold for $109,200 .
Speaker 2I wouldn't guess that .
Speaker 5Holy , if you watch , if you watch we . Um , uh , meekam Kissimmee , um , it was amazing how some of those Camaros priced and the and the Resto modded ones that were the modified ones Didn't really watch a lot of it .
Speaker 1Quick break , now You're , we'll be right back here on the Inwheel Time Car Talk Show .
