If you use the search function you will find a discussion we had on lithium stocks on the this board a month or so ago.

And I believe I e-mailed you a report on lithium a few months ago. Let me know if you didn't keep it and I will send you another copy.

As to stocks, the pickings are pretty skimpy. Here's my current lithium watchlist, which includes processors as well as miners. More details can be found in the header on my REE thread.

Here's some Li and U too. I'm going to back up the truck if WUC.v goes below c$3.

I was just doing my full DD on something I accidentally bought the other day becuase I forgot I had left an extremely stinky bid in, and lo and behold, I have another entry for the lithium list.

Moblan
Overview

globestarmining.com

The Moblan Project is a highly fractionated pegmatite deposit north of Chibougamau, Quebec (see location map). An excellent summary article on Moblan from the April 2006 edition of Industrial Minerals magazine can be seen here. (Industrial Minerals, April 2006, Issue no. 463, p.135).

Preliminary work on the deposit has demonstrated that the Moblan pegmatites contain lithium and feldspar minerals suitable for the glass and ceramic industries, as well as a number of by product minerals containing tantalum, niobium, cesium and rubidium. The extremely low iron content of the feldspars makes them particularly attractive for sale to industrial users (see press release of November 16, 2005).

GlobeStar holds 100% of the eastern portion of the property (190 Ha Moblan East claims) and has recently entered into an agreement with SOQUEM to earn a 60% interest in the 221 Ha Moblan West claims (see claim map). The two claim groups cover all known pegmatite occurrences over a distance of approximately 900 x 2600 meters.

The Moblan deposit is located 106 kilometres north of Chibougamau, and 1,500 metres from the 12 month maintained Route de Nord which is permitted for 150 tonne haulage loads. The pegmatite cluster consists of at least 16 outcrop groups, within an area of around 2,600 metres by 900 metres (see claim map). A six hole, 631 m drilling program at the Doña Fiona outcrop group in 2002 encountered pegmatite down to 140 metres in depth, with the best drill holes to date returning 69 m grading 0.78% Li, and 6m grading 272 g/t Ta and 0.9% Li (see press release of November 16, 2005).

Trenching over one of the sixteen outcrop groups in 2004 exposed pegmatite covering 160 metres by 60 metres, with further outcrops extending 300 metres northwards beyond a swamp. The mineralization remains open to the south.

Also in 2004, independent engineers Equapolar Resources of Ottawa completed an internal report based on the Moblan East area. The key findings of this report will be released shortly, once data for Moblan West has been incorporated. The report includes the metallurgical report from SGS Lakefield, detailed mineral analyses from Carleton University, and the field evaluation carried out by IOS Geoscientifique.

IOS and Equapolar geologists have completed the 2005 fall exploration field program of mapping and systematic sampling over the unitized Moblan East and West claims. A 100 kilogram composite of drill core and channel samples was prepared for metallurgical testing by SGS Lakefield, who have been engaged to carry out ore beneficiation studies. Approximately 60 grab and channel samples were taken for assay and micro-probing of discrete minerals. The results of this work are pending.
