http://goldstocktrades.com/blog I've been following a lithium junior for several months as a possible near term US producer who unlike so many junior lithium developers may have a faster track to production and the sponsorship and treasury to accomplish it with over $20 million greenbacks in the bank.They took a few minutes out of their day to speak to us while on the world famous Benchmark Minerals tour to discuss a recent announcement which at the time was ignored by the market but may be interesting to my subscribers.I immediately got off my fishing boat to call the management team to discuss the execution of a binding contract with a global specialty minerals company with billions in revenue and thousands of employees.The agreement will allow this little junior to pursue commercial development of lithium produced from brines in Arkansas.This company already recovers bromine from these brines which are used in making flame retardant plastics.This bromine brines are also rich in lithium.This is just another deal out of many this little lithium developer has signed over the past year with existing chemical companies.Whats so important to look at with these deals with existing chemical producers is that they are already in operation and permitted.So now this little junior miner who has raised a over $20 million dollars at a significant premium to where it is now.Disclosure:I own shares in this company and they are a website sponsor.Author (Jeb Handwerger) owns shares in Standard Lithium and the company is a website advertiser so that means I have been compensated and have a conflict of interest to help boost awareness of this story.
