Russia has been running a surplus and is using the proceeds to buy gold and fix things up. Things are looking up. The demographic situation is improving and they're diversifying their economy. The question is what benefits they'll realize from their relative frugalness? The Mideast is a total basket case. Iraq is becoming Italy. There's widespread rioting in Israel due to the US opening of its embassy in Jerusalem. Is this a longer term deterioration of the situation or is it just business as usual for this troubled region of the world? |

Henk Van Alphen is CEO of Wealth Minerals, (FSN Sponsor) an incredibly well situated Chilean Lithium producer, where a large portion of the world's Lithium is produced. While electric cars or EV's are gradually expanding market share in the USA, the story is much different in Asia. China and other countries, faced with horrible air pollution, have implemented aggressive policies to replace the internal combustion engine with electric power. The price of Lithium is likely to head much higher, which will greatly benefit producers like Wealth Minerals. Add to this the fact that most of the world's Lithium deposits have already been identified and are spoken for and it's obvious that this rising boat will lift all producers. There's just not a lot of unclaimed deposits available at anywhere approaching a reasonable investment. And that could very well mean the future for both Lithium and Wealth Minerals is very bright indeed. |
