What do we do?

American Lithium and Cobalt Corporation

American Lithium and Cobalt Corporation, is a global company dedicated to the development of lithium and cobalt project in the Latin American region. Our focus is on the development of Lithium and Cobalt project in Chile, Argentine, Bolivia and Peru. Our stakeholders are on the one hand the miners of lithium and cobalt. That means people who own the mining property of lithium and cobalt and has not the force and the contacts to develop their own project. On the other hand, the Investors who are locking for lithium and cobalt project.

Today ALCC has three lithium brine projects, one in Chile Maricunga, one project in Argentine dead man brine and one project in Bolivia Uyuni. Moreover we have one cobalt Project in the IV region of Chile and one Lithium Cathode LMO in Chile. Each project can be seen in the Project section.

Mission

We seek to support lithium and cobalt miners in the generation of investment projects, both extraction and value added; On the other hand, find the necessary investment for each of these projects through our mining investment portal.

Overview

Lithium has recently become a “glamour” metal. In a little more than two decades, demand for it has increased dramatically. After standing at about 40,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in 1995, world consumption had reached almost 200,000 tonnes LCE by 2016.

All of the above, occurred due to the growth in its use in rechargeable batteries and grid storage batteries, while its application in ceramics and glass, lubricating greases, air treatment, and continuous casting also increased significantly.

The average increase in lithium consumption between 1995 and 2016 was about eight (8) percent per annum. With further strongly increasing use in the battery sector, several industry commentators now estimate growth rates around ten (10) percent per annum between 2016 and 2025.

By 2020 it is likely that annual consumption will have reached 300,000 tonnes LCE. Five years later it may be 500,000 tonnes. At that time, perhaps two-thirds of the use of lithium will be for battery production.

Over the past two decades, it has been profitable to extract lithium from two sources: hard rock minerals and brines. The most competitive hard rock deposits have been those from the Greenbushes lithium, tin and tantalum mine in South West Western Australia. This facility, which is 240 kilometers south of Perth has accounted for between 20 and 40 percent of world production since 1995.

Based on this projected growth, ALCC participates in several exploration projects, presenting it as viable investment options for small, medium and large entrepreneurs.

Our team is made up of industry professionals with proven experience in all areas related to mining, corporate governance, finance, and communications.

Overview Cobalt

Position ourselves worldwide as a Latin American company of excellence in the development of lithium and cobalt investment projects and be recognized as a important institution in the support to lithium and cobalt miners in order to achieve collaborate with the increase of the supply of these products and thus contribute to the advance progressive to combat climate change.

World cobalt production has increased from an estimated 39 kt in 2000 to 126 kt in 20154. This large increase in the production of cobalt is explained due to new applications in batteries that has been granted to this metal, as well as the growing market for electric cars that use lithium batteries for operation.

On the other hand, Glencore is the mining company of greater production of cobalt in the world; which is part mainly made with two copper-cobalt mines in DRC, Mutanda Mining and Katanga Mining, which finally represent a 26 percent share in the cobalt market with a production of 28.3 kt for the year 2016.

The demand for cobalt can be divided into two main segments, the chemist and metalworker. Cobalt in chemical applications demand focuses primarily on rechargeable batteries, which may be appointed ion batteries lithium for electric cars and batteries for laptops, PCs, smartphones, etc. On the other hand, is the metallurgical application of cobalt, using it for the creation of alloys; which include the Super alloys for use in defense, power generation and aerospace technology; steels and carbon and diamond tools.

Comparing the demand for the years 2006 and 2016, it becomes evident that the trend in this market is in the use of cobalt for lithium-ion batteries; which is consistent with the growth of the market of electric cars; both in quantity and in technology. The year 2020 is expected to total demand for cobalt to exceed the 120 kt per year, which represents approximately 30% of growth of cobalt consumed during the year 2016 (93.950 tons). Moreover, projections estimate that by the year 2025, the demand for cobalt exceeds the 200 kt per year, being the main precursor of this the use of electric cars.

What do we believe?

The way the world produces, stores and consumes energy is changing. Consumer electronics, electric vehicles and renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, depending on energy storage systems. The future for a cleaner and more sustainable planet depends on the progress made in the development of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

The storage of energy, under this vision, is the facilitator of practically all green technologies and is the critical link for the realization of decades of socially responsible and environmental investment. Our company is committed to this idea, and the extraction of Lithium and Cobalt as a source of business and growth of green technologies.

We want to be your strategic partner

Here at the ALCC, we seek to reward investors based on our experience and knowledge in order to make them understand that not all mineral projects are the same, and of its fundamental principles to be important.

In 2016, the largest mining companies, as measured by CO2 emissions, were responsible for 211.3 million metric tonnes of carbon emissions in that year alone. But on the same token, the metal these companies extract may be used for sustainable initiatives. Lithium goes into the batteries of electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines and electronic (smart) grids, all which lower global C02 emissions.

In addition, there have been significant cost reductions and enhanced performance of li-on batteries because of both increased production and investment, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

In 2015, there were three Li-ion mega-factories in the pipeline, with a total capacity of 57-gigawatt hours (GWh). As of 2018, there are 33 mega factories expected to be completed by 2023. The total capacity of these factories will be approximately 430 GWh globally. Each 20 GWh of capacity added requires up to 16 thousand tons of lithium. The industry continues to address energy density improvement and raw materials management.

A big part of this expansion has to do with regional environmental goals. Sales of new energy vehicles should reach 2 million by 2020 and account for more than 20% of total vehicle production and sales by 2025, according to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Additionally, in an effort to support the Paris Climate Agreement, India is making a bold vow to start selling only electric cars by 2030 and an internal combustion engine vehicles. Furthermore, average battery sizes are growing, meaning growing lithium requirements.

It's possible to quantify these benefits. As the demand for lithium batteries grows, driven by the demand for electric vehicles and ever-larger power storage capacity, we aim to be the answer to growing lithium demand by presenting an effective lithium extraction-to-market project scenario with attractive economics and production upside.
