Energizer Resources Announces Appointment of Richard Quesnel to Board of Directors
http://www.energizerresources.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=359:vanadium-batteries-energizer-resources-announces-appointment-of-richard-quesnel-to-board-of-directors&catid=12:2010&Itemid=26
Energizer Resources Inc., the Canadian mineral-exploration company, will hold a second round of talks with a Chinese company about becoming a strategic partner in a vanadium project in Madagascar.
Energizer expects to announce “in coming weeks” that its Green Giant project in the south of the Indian Ocean island has estimated resources of as much as 60 million metric tons of vanadium pentoxide, Brent Nykoliation, vice president of business development at the Toronto-based company, said in a phone interview on Oct. 26.
The company said this year the deposit had estimated resources of about 26 million tons of the metal, which is used to harden steel and to make batteries.
Madagascar’s oil and mineral wealth has attracted international investors including Rio Tinto Plc, the world’s third-biggest mining company, which owns a $1 billion ilmenite project in the southeast of the country. Canada’s Sherritt International Corp. is developing a deposit 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of Antananarivo, the capital, that is set to produce 60,000 metric tons of “high-grade” nickel annually for at least 27 years, according to the company’s website.
Last year, the government suspended issuing mining permits amid a political crisis that began when President Andry Rajoelina ousted his predecessor, Marc Ravalomanana, with the help of the army. Energizer’s discussions with the Malagasy government over a mining permit are continuing, Nykoliation said.
Energizer shares rose 3 cents, or 9.7 percent, to C$0.34 at 9:47 a.m. in Toronto. The price of pentoxide containing 98 percent vanadium has risen 9.5 percent so far this year to $6.95 per pound, according to Metal Bulletin.
Output in 2014
The Green Giant mine is expected to begin output in 2014, Nykoliation said. Global production of vanadium pentoxide is currently 107,000 tons and if the resource estimate is confirmed, Energizer would have 13 percent of the world’s current supply, he said. That would enable the company to compete with suppliers including Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium Ltd. in South Africa.
Green Giant is “one of the largest vanadium deposits in the world and it is 100 percent owned,” Nykoliation said.
Energizer’s strategy is to “find a strategic joint-venture partner in the battery industry and the steel industry as our project is unique in being able to supply both,” Nykoliation said. The company has already held a first round of talks with a potential partner in China, Nykoliation said.
“China and Japan have been mandated by their governments to increase the strength of steel in their buildings,” said Nykoliation. “China and India are consuming steel like you wouldn’t believe.”
South Africa is the world’s biggest vanadium producer.

nergizer Confirms Up to 82% Vanadium Extraction; Green Giant Deposit Will Play Key Role in New Battery Power and Storage Market
marketwire
Press Release Source: Energizer Resources Inc. On Wednesday November 17, 2010, 10:49 am
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - 11/17/10) - Energizer Resources Inc. (formerly Uranium Star Corp.) (TSX-V:EGZ - News)(OTC.BB:ENZR - News)(Frankfurt:YE5 - News) (the Company) is pleased to announce final test results from its recent metallurgical program conducted on composite samples from its Green Giant vanadium property in Madagascar. Batch pressure leach tests completed at SGS Minerals Services (Lakefield), consisting of an oxidizing pre-roast followed by an alkaline pressure leach, extracted up to 82% vanadium into a leach solution low in deleterious elements and suitable for upgrading by solvent extraction.
Several opportunities for further improvement in the extraction process have been identified, including the recycling of leach solution to increase vanadium tenor, reduction of soda ash consumption and optimization of pre-roast and pressure leach conditions (temperature and time). Future test programs will examine these opportunities to further optimize the process flow sheet.
2010 Metallurgy and Mineralogy Program Completed
The 2010 metallurgical program was designed to compare the efficiency of alternate strategies for extraction of vanadium, including alkali salt roasting, acid leaching (atmospheric and pressure) and alkaline leaching (atmospheric and pressure). Mineralogical characterization of the composite samples and a pre-concentration test program which examined the viability of upgrading by flotation, gravity concentration and screening were also conducted.
The 2010 metallurgical test composites were compiled using drill core intervals selected at various depths from 9 drill holes spanning the Manga zone on the Green Giant property and closely match current estimates of average resource grade. Mineralogical characterization of the composite identified vanadium in various sulphide, silicate and oxide minerals.
Pre-roasting + Alkaline Pressure Leaching = up to 82% Vanadium Extraction
Prior to alkaline (soda ash) pressure leaching, samples were ground to 80% passing 105um and roasted at various temperatures (900-1100 degrees C) for 3 hrs. Pressure leach tests examined various soda ash solution strengths and addition rates plus pressure leach temperature and duration. The pre-roasting of the representative samples was shown to greatly improve the vanadium extraction by soda ash leaching.
Julie Lee Harrs, President and COO of Energizer, said, "This test program has confirmed an effective leach process that achieves high vanadium extraction, while at the same time, producing clean leach solutions very low in problematic contaminants. We have now completed a critical step as we move forward with the development of our Green Giant vanadium project."
Green Giant Deposit To Provide High Purity V2O5 to Battery Market
The Green Giant vanadium deposit is a sedimentary-hosted deposit, which is unique among the world's known vanadium deposits. As a result, the Green Giant deposit will be able to produce a high-purity vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), which is required in battery power and in battery storage for both mobile (automotive) applications and stationary (large-scale) applications.
Vanadium Demand for Steel Growing at 7%
In addition to its ability to produce high-purity V2O5, the Green Giant project can also be easily adapted to supply another form of vanadium to the steel market, called ferrovanadium, where vanadium demand is growing at 7% year-over-year and is well-established as a strengthening agent for steel.
2010 New Developments in Battery Power and Storage
Lithium-Vanadium Polymer Battery Sets Electric Vehicle Distance Record with a 6-Minute Recharge
DBE Energy, in partnership with German utility Lekker Energie, equipped an Audi A2 electric vehicle with its new lithium-vanadium metal polymer battery and set a long distance record of 603 kilometres (375 miles) travelled on a single charge. The battery's basic electro-chemistry consists of a metallic lithium anode and a vanadium oxide cathode. DBE Energy claims the battery has a 97% efficiency and can be charged at virtually any electrical socket. Plugged into a high-voltage direct-current source, the battery can be fully charged within 6 minutes. More details can be found at www.benzev.co.nz.
Vanadium Redox Battery Manufacturer, Prudent Energy, Named a Top Cleantech Company
Prudent Energy, the manufacturer of a vanadium redox battery energy storage system called the VRB-ESS™, was recently named one of the most promising private clean technology companies poised to make a significant market impact in the next five to ten years by the 2010 Global Cleantech 100. Prudent Energy, a private company based in Beijing, China with offices in Washington, D.C. U.S.A., was selected by a committee that included well-respected organizations in cleantech innovation from around the world, including BASF, GE, Honeywell, IBM, Proctor & Gamble, Siemens and Veolia, as well as venture capital companies.
This recognition of a vanadium-based storage system as a leading storage solution signals the movement of vanadium-based technologies into the mainstream market of Green Power.
Prudent Energy's Vanadium Redox Battery Electrolyte Operates at Room Temperature and Never Wears Out
Prudent Energy has just announced (in Prudent's press release dated November 9, 2010) they have installed over 20 vanadium redox battery systems around the world in Kenya, Hungary, Turkey, Italy, USA and China. Prudent Energy describes its VRB Energy Storage System as a large capacity, long life, advanced vanadium-based energy storage system with high performance and low operating costs. The company further claims that field results over the last three years in China and the USA has shown that it performs way in excess of any other technology currently in the field, and given the fact that their vanadium redox battery's electrolyte operates at room temperature and never wears out, the total cost of ownership is undoubtedly the lowest for any energy storage system.
Prudent Energy's latest press releases containing more details about their vanadium-based technology can be viewed on their website at www.pdenergy.com
Gildemeister/Cellstrom's Version of Vanadium Redox Battery called the CellCube™
Cellstrom GmbH, another vanadium redox battery manufacturer, based in Austria, was acquired in 2010 by a subsidiary of a German-based conglomerate, Gildemeister GmbH. Cellstrom has successfully been selling vanadium redox batteries since 2008 throughout Europe and most-recently into India, where they have been installed as battery-back up systems for factories who operate in regions hit frequently by power outages. Details and images of Cellstrom's Cellcube VRB can be viewed at www.cellstrom.com
Vanadium Redox Batteries Require Significant Amounts of High-Purity V2O5
VRBs require significant amounts of high purity V2O5. Cellstrom's CellCube FB10/100 is a 10 kilowatt/100 kilowatt hour VRB designed for uninterrupted power supply for households and factories and require approximately 1 tonne of V2O5 each. In 2011, Cellstrom plans to launch the Cellcube 200/400, a 200 kilowatt/400 kilowatt hour VRB designed for solar and wind farms and requires 5 tonnes of V2O5 per battery. These batteries can be easily scaled up in size to reach megawatt capacities, suitable for power-grid applications.
Today, high-purity V2O5 is not readily available and the substantial amounts of high purity V2O5 required for the production of these vanadium redox batteries cannot be met by the current supply of V2O5. New vanadium projects, such as the Green Giant project will need to come online in order to meet this new demand.
With the capability to provide a high-purity V2O5 product, Energizer's Green Giant project is uniquely positioned to meet this new demand for vanadium-based battery power and storage. The Green Giant project is being positioned to provide the sureness of price and supply of vanadium that companies such as Prudent Energy and Cellstrom require.
About the Green Giant Vanadium Project
The Green Giant vanadium project, located in Madagascar, is 100% owned by Energizer. The Company previously reported a National Instrument 43-101 compliant indicated resource estimate of 21.74 million tonnes of V2O5 at an average grade of 0.759% and an inferred resource estimate of 4.15 million tonnes of V2O5 at a grade of 0.655%. Assay results from the drilling program completed earlier this year are expected to increase the resource estimate by an additional 25 to 30 million tonnes, to make the Green Giant vanadium project one of the largest vanadium deposits in the world. An updated National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate is expected within the week.
About Vanadium
Vanadium is well-established as a strategic metal that strengthens and hardens alloys like steel and is positioned to play a significant role in emerging battery technologies such as batteries for electric cars and for large-scale energy storage. While there are some opportunities for substitution in steel production, the same is not true for other markets, including the emerging energy (battery) storage markets, the military and particularly in the aerospace industry, where vanadium is irreplaceable.

Cautionary Statement: The above resource estimates were calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, Industry Guide 7 (under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as interpreted by the Staff of the SEC, applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. Among other things, the terms "measured", "indicated" and "inferred" mineral resources are required pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and mineral resource information contained herein is not comparable to similar information regarding mineral reserves disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. This mineral resource estimate includes inferred resources that are normally considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that the inferred mineral resource will be converted to the measured and indicated mineral resource categories through further drilling, or into a mineral reserve once economic considerations are applied.
U.S. investors should understand that "inferred" mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In addition, investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Company's mineral resources constitute or will be converted into reserves.

Hallo ihr Investierten,
soweit ich lesen konnte, liegt das neue Vanadium-Vorkommen in Madagaskar.
Das scheint ein Problem zu sein, denn dort wird gerade geputscht.
http://www.faz.net/s/...FEA9B2A87902C343D4~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html
Ich weiß nicht, ob es langfristig als Segen oder Fluch für Energizer zu werten ist, aber für den Kurse wird es auf keinen Fall segensreich sein, wenn es dort härter zugeht.
hat wohl was mit der CLM Spekulation zu tun
die wurde für 5 Mird. Verkauft und samt den 2 mio ENZR aktien die sie hielten.
Frage ist nun ob mehr in ENZR investiert wird. Und wenn etablierte unternhmen am Werk sind ist die mine vielleicht schon 2013 fertig.
Über das Green Giant-Vanadiumprojekt
Das in Madagaskar angesiedelte Green Giant -Vanadiumprojekt ist zu 100% im
Besitz von Energizer. Das Unternehmen gab bereits eine die Norm National
Instrument 43-101 erfüllende angezeigte Ressourcenschätzung von 49,5
Millionen Tonnen mit einem durchschnittlichen Gehalt von 0,693%
Vanadiumpentoxid ('V2O5'), die 756,3 Millionen Pfund V2O5 enthalten,
und eine abgeleitete Ressourcenschätzung von 9,7 Millionen Tonnen mit einem
durchschnittlichen Gehalt von 0,632% V2O5, die 134,5 Millionen Pfund V2O5
enthalten, bekannt. Gemäß dieser Ressourcenschätzung handelt es sich beim
Green Giant-Projekt derzeit um die drittgrößte weltweit bekannte
Vanadiumlagerstätte, bei der 75% des 21 Kilometer langen stratigrafischen
Vanadiumverlaufs für Bohrungen offenstehen.
klar hätte man bei 0,50 verkaufen und mit 0,30 heute wieder einsteigen können.
aber vor 2014 mach ich nix. außer evtl. nachlegen wenn ENZR unter einkaufswert liegt.
p.s. die Aktiue ist heute schon 0,027 unter par im Vergleich zu OTC und TSX. Kurs dort 0,44
ich denke bald kommt der rebound, news stehen an....
habe hier noch zur URST zeiten gekauft...
Bin mittlerweile nur noch leicht im Minus und werde weiter abwarten.
Allerdings hab ich mich schon länger nicht mehr informiert...
@megas_polema.
Welche News stehen denn an? Vom Green Giant Project? Was wird dort zur Zeit ausgewertet?
Gruß
Private placement wird die kommenden Tage beendet. Dazu gibts warsch ne news.
Zu Green Giant wurde eine für Ende Februar angekündigt. So zumindest der PR-Chef Nykoliation via Email. Was genau drin steht weiss ich nicht, er meinte nur "positive results".
nicht vergessen 75% sind noch nicht erschlosen und Green Giant ist jetzt schon drittgrößtes Vanadiumvorkommen weltweit. Ich denke die Chinesen werden zuschlagen bevor ENZR überhaupt ne Mine bauen kann. Bolloch Group ist bereits auf der Suche nach strategischen Partnern in China. China hat mit Madagaskar kürzlich Abkommen geschollen und 2 Mrd. Investiert. Alles noch Zukunftsmusik, aber man kann sich schon ausmalen was hier die nächsten Jahre auf uns zukommt.
Die neue Konsolidierung um 0,5 can $ ist positiv zu werten. Nach seitwärtstrend denke ich ENZR geht langsam aber sicher richtung 0,8 $ und von da noch weiter.
Rechnet mal nach
ca. 3 Mrd an Vanadium bis jetzt
300 Mio aktion
--- sollten schon 3-4 Dollar für die shareholder überigbleiben wenn das mal läuft.
Problem sehe ich, dass ENZR noch keine festen Angestellten hat und alles auf contractor basis macht.
Über die Qualität des Vanadiums-Vorkommens hat sich jeder hier ja sicher schon informiert. Daher brauch ich dazu nicht viel zu sagen. Was mich für Energizer eingenommen hat ist, dass Richard Quesnel im Vorstand ist. Er ist CEO von Consolidated Thomson, an der ich SEHR viel verdient habe (einige Hundert Prozent). Er hat es verstanden, CLM wirklich sehr schnell zur Produktion zu bringen. Dies gelingt vielen Junior Explorern nicht. In seiner Ära bei CLM wurde ein JV mit einer chinesischen Firma geschlossen, mit dem es gelang die Finanzierung in schlechten Zeiten auf die Beine zu stellen. Zum Abschluss vereinbarte er eine Übernahme zu einem Preis, der dem Doppelten dessen, was drei Monate vorher gehandelt wurde, entsprach.
Wer in Explorer investiert, der weiss, dass einer der Punkte, nach denen man schauen muss, die Qualität des Managements ist.
So viel zum "Upside" der Aktie. Nicht so gut ist, dass sich Canaccord und Byron von Energizer abgewendet haben. Beide unterstützen jetzt die Konkurrenz: AVC - American Vanadium Corporation. AVC wird auch von den Berry Brüdern gepushed. Das sind Experten, die von Investoren hoch geschätzt sind. AVC dürfte vermutlich kurz vor Energizer in Produktion gehen.
Noch eine kurze Bemerkung zu den 3 Mrd. die im Boden liegen. Im jetzi´gen Stadium würde eine Übernahme maximal 1% dieses Wertes bringen - eher weniger wegen Madagaskar.
Das wird sich bis zum Jahresende allerdings ändern, wenn das Ergebnis der vorläufigen Wirtschaftlichkeitsstudie vorliegt. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass der Aktienkurs zum Jahresende bei $1 liegt.
Schließlich noch ein letzter Gesichtspunkt. Der Aktionär CLM wurde ja übernommen von Cliif Resources. Das ist ein finanzstarkes Unternehmen. Einen solchen nkeraktionär wünscht sich jeder Junior.
