BFE-Black Fire Minerals-New Lithium Play
Black Fire Minerals announced last week that they had acquired a 100% interest in the Karibib Lithium Project in Namibia (one of the safer African countries, more noted for its uranium potential). Lithium has been mined here on and off for decades, but it was fairly small scale. The project has never been subject to any modern exploration. An agressive exploration and drilling program is planned.
Share price has been steadily rising since the announcement. I got in today at 17c, when I should have acted last Friday when I could have got them for a few cents less. Such is life.

They also may earn a majority interest in the Mystique Gold Project, which is part of the Tropicana Belt in WA (and hosting the 5moz Tropicana Gold Project). This in itself is quite an interesting prospect.

Only 100m shares on issue, along with 30m oppies exercisable at 20c.

Hi Huang,
Mate, this stock has nearly doubled in a just over a week.
Yet the Ann re- Namibian Lithium only came out 4 days ago.
Inside story perhaps? Who knows. Although the story looks good all the same.

IF I'd sold at today's high of 20c, I would have made just shy of 20% in 24 hours. Didn't sell, and the share price finished at just 17.5c after the market fell in the afternoon.
But unless you're buying for the lithium hype, this stock will really be about finding a decent lithium resource on the Karibib tenements. The lithium is there, no doubt about it, it's just a question of whether there's enough of an economically viable resource that will make the share price fly.
Here's hoping .

Another company with lithium on the horizon (from my watchlist) is RDR.
Worth reading there recent presentation, they have a few projects too

Shas, RDR has a far more mature project (with a market cap to match).

No worries, there aren't too many lithium companies around, & i like to compare grades etc
-
You know far more about Lithium than me Shas. Historic head grades from mining were apparently between 1.7%, and 3.75% LiO2. As I understand it, these grades aren't too bad.
Important to note that this is hard rock lithium, not the brine lakes more common in Sth America.

The heat is coming out of BFE unfortunately.......

"At the beginning of this year I posted a blog about the emerging trend of electric motor vehicles, their use of lithium batteries, and the emerging technological advances of faster charging times of those batteries, making the possibility of mass produced electric powered vhicles a reality! In that particular blog I mention one particular lithium explorer called Galaxy Resources (GXY) .
Since then the share price for Galaxy Resources has risen five fold and those who took the chance and vested their money here would be sitting very pretty!
I expect the share price for Galaxy Resources and a number of other lithium explorers to continue higher but my preference is to jump onto stocks at a very early stage, and most of the big gains have already occured for Galaxy Resources.
So it was with great interest to me when Black Fire Energy (BFE) announced on Thursday that they had secured a lithium project called the Karibib Pegmatite Lithium Project in Namibia.
As you can see from the above chart, the intial reaction was strong but the share price collpased soon afterward with nervous traders taking quick profits.
Thanks to a fellow forum member, we were alerted of a turn around on Friday and the share price recovered most of the previous days fall to close at 16.5c.
The risks are very high here, but the project looks like it has serious potential and we should see strong gains being made here. For the longer term Black Fire Energy offers a multi bagger potential for those willing to take the risk and jump on early!"

You are on the right track Huang, lithium, but which company, ADY had a gem and blew it,
The Outlook for Lithium Production
Lithium Battery Market To Hit $15 Billion in 2010
By Ian Cooper
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
Editor's Note: Rare Earth Metals (REEs) are nothing short of crucial to the way we live. In fact without them, some of our most important modern technologies could never exist: rechargeable batteries, electric motors, photo optics, and solar cells, just to name a few.
They are so pivotal to modern circuitry that industry insiders came up with a nickname for REEs: 'technology metals.' And on January 1st, Denmark will relinquish its sovereign hold over Greenland's mineral rights, making Greenland's $273 billion rare earth resources private property. To learn about the single company in control of all of it, read the following new report.
———
The lithium buying mania has only just begun, as investors and governments scramble for a way to cash in. . .
That's because even they know that lithium could soon replace billions of barrels of oil — or trillions of dollars in black gold revenue.
They also know that demand is expected to continue rising, as the lithium boom takes its cue from the demand for it in the electric car market. . .
We're not talking "flash in the pan" here.
We're talking about exposure to a lithium battery market that's expected to hit $15 billion by 2010. . . and quite possibly $30 billion within a few short years.
Why would you pass this up?
Already, some of the world's biggest players are wasting no time claiming their stake, including Warren Buffett, who recently stunned the market when he announced a $250 million investment in a Chinese electric car company — even though he knows nothing about electric cars.
Even China, Korea, Japan and the U.S. are pouring millions into lithium projects.
I could continue listing examples, but I think you get the point.
How can you not jump on this profit opportunity?

An Urgent National Priority GE, Google, IBM, and Cisco have quietly invested $3 billion in a new technology that Energy Secretary Steven Chu has called an "urgent national priority."
It's all part of the emerging $2 trillion smart grid market.
And claiming your share has never been easier.Click hereto learn about my three best smart grid plays.
The Boom is Just Getting Underway
There's simply not enough of the element to go around.
And demand is only going to get stronger with limited supply, as lithium batteries are on the cutting edge of powering the coming hybrid and electric car revolution.
