Battery Grade Lithium Carbonate produced from the Cinovec Lithium Project

 

Rare Earth Mineral Plc (AIM/ISDX: REM; OTC: REMMY) is pleased to report that >99.5% pure lithium carbonate has been manufactured from the Cinovec mica-concentrate using an industry proven sodium sulphate roast-based flow-sheet.

 

REM holds a 20.76% economic interest in Cinovec, via its interest in European Metals Holdings Limited ("EMH"). Cinovec contains the largest lithium resource in Europe and one of the largest undeveloped tin resources in the world.

The roasting flow-sheet reflects a simplified version of the well-proven technology currently employed by a number of operating lithium carbonate plants around the world to convert spodumene concentrate to lithium carbonate.

The full EMH release is available at: http://europeanmet.com/assets/AIM__-_13_Dec_2016_-_Lithium_Carbonate.pdf .

Highlights from the EMH release:

·     Production of >99.5% lithium carbonate

·     Roast recoveries of 87% achieved

·     Key roasting reagent is recycled back to the roast, lowering process costs

·     Minimal leaching of unwanted impurities, resulting in simpler precipitation of battery grade lithium carbonate

·     Commencing production of lithium carbonate samples for potential offtaker and end user testing.

Kiran Morzaria, the Chief Executive Officer of REM, commented:

 

"We are extremely pleased with the progress being made at Cinovec. The production of battery grade lithium from a well established process route, is a significant milestone in the commercialisation of the largest lithium deposit in Europe."

TLA Worldwide Creates New Agency for Commercial Exploitation of Sports Rights

 

Industry experts, Simon Thomas and Andrew Guy to head up new sports marketing business

 

TLA Worldwide plc (AIM: TLA), a leading athlete representation and sports marketing business, is pleased to announce the creation of a new independent sports marketing business, Talisman Sports and Media ("Talisman"), in partnership with Mr. Simon Thomas and Mr. Andrew Guy. The newly formed company, Talisman, will focus on the commercial exploitation of existing sports rights within the TLA Group and the development of new opportunities. It will be headquartered in the UK with offices in London and Switzerland. 

 

Thomas and Guy, who were previously engaged in global commercial roles at Fox Sports, are seasoned sports marketing professionals with specific experience in brand building as well as the packaging and sale of media rights in existing or newly created premium sports properties.

 

Prior to his role as Executive Vice President of Global Sport and Content Sales at Fox, Thomas was CEO of TEAM Marketing, the commercial agency responsible for marketing and sales of UEFA club competitions including UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.  Guy, previously Fox's Senior VP of Global Sport, came from a Commercial and Business Affairs role at CAA11, UEFA's agency for the sales of national team competitions where he was involved in the commercialisation and sale of rights to UEFA's national team competitions.  Before that he was Commercial Director at TEAM Marketing.

 

TLA Worldwide is a leading athlete representation, event management and sports marketing group quoted on AIM-LSE in London. In the USA, it was most recently responsible for the successful organisation and promotion of the Ireland vs All Blacks Rugby Union match in Chicago.  TLA will not initially have a shareholding in Talisman but has the option to acquire a majority stake within a five year period from the date of this announcement.

 

Talisman Managing Director, Simon Thomas, said: "The sports marketplace is extremely dynamic right now, reflecting a rapidly changing media environment.  Sports rights are becoming increasingly valuable and rights owners need to understand how they treat those rights to best develop their brands and properties.  TLA is an ambitious organisation with excellent relationships in a variety of sports.  We think it's a good fit for us and we look forward to making this partnership a success."

 

TLA Chairman, Bart Campbell, said: "Taking a stake in the new business is in line with TLA's stated strategy to expand its range of services and geographic presence. Simon and Andrew bring a wealth of quality experience to the organisation and we welcome them to the TLA family and look forward to working with them on a variety of projects. TLA has a strong presence in athlete representation, sponsorships, event creation and development. Working with Simon and Andrew's specialist marketing and media rights expertise will enhance TLA's overall offering and help us pursue new opportunities in tandem, better servicing our clients' needs."

NANOCO GROUP PLC

("Nanoco" or the "Company") 

 

Acquires Quantum Dot Patents from Kodak

 

Nanoco Group plc (LSE: NANO), a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other nanomaterials, announces that it has acquired a group of patents from the Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak") in connection with the use of quantum dots in electroluminescent displays, a future display technology.

This patent acquisition, which is in line with Nanoco's strategy of building its patent estate organically and by acquisition, reinforces the Company's intellectual property position in quantum dot electroluminescent displays (QLED), a future technology in which quantum dots can be used to replace the current materials in organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays.

Nanoco is building a patent position in anticipation of many future applications of quantum dots including QLED, a technology that Nanoco has researched for almost 10 years.  Display sales in the medium term are expected to remain dominated by liquid crystal display ("LCD") technology, which is Nanoco's current commercial focus.

The commercial terms of the patent acquisition are undisclosed.

Michael Edelman, Nanoco's Chief Executive Officer, said: "This patent purchase from Kodak broadens our intellectual property estate and commercial position in future display technologies.  The vast majority of current displays are based on LCD technology and we expect LCDs to dominate display sales in the near and medium term. In the longer term, QLED displays could challenge current OLED displays and we aim to have a strong competitive position in this space in preparation for any market change. Our current focus remains driving near term revenue from the supply to the LCD industry of the Company's cadmium-free quantum dots manufactured and marketed by Nanoco and our licensees, Dow, Merck and Wah Hong."
