The report, which is available on Alba's website, includes a detailed review of the exploration work completed to date, an inferred resource estimate, and recommendations for the next phases of work.InvestmentPitch Media has produced a \"video news alert\" which provides a brief overview of the company.

Albemarle, the only lithium producer in the United States, has been producing lithium from deep wells from the basin beneath the Clayton Valley, continuously since 1967.Just south of Albemarle's Silver Peak operation, and to the west of Noram's Spartan Group claims, lies Pure Energy with a NI 43-101 Inferred Resource of 218,000 metric tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, and to the north is Tesla's Gigafactory. Tesla, with a planned production rate of 500,000 cars per year in the latter half of this decade, is expected to alone use today's entire worldwide production of lithium ion batteries. According to analysts at Citigroup, electric vehicles consumed 15,000 tons of Lithium in 2015. By 2025, the car industry will consume 136,000 tons, putting further upward pressure on the price of lithium.Noram's drilling of 46 shallow core holes into the lithium-rich sediments, previously identified through surface sampling has provided a basis for the definition of an inferred lithium resource. The lithium assays from the drilling provided results that were quite consistent over a reasonably large area of closely-spaced drill holes. Th...
