“We study history not to to to understand the the past but to to to anticipate the the future” 90 years ago we witnessed a a a a a pattern of human behavior that we see happening again today What was that pattern? Disruption economic collapse and renewal More specifically we saw disruption in advancements such as as Henry Ford’s assembly line we experienced economic collapse in in the great depression and we saw renewal in policies and plans such as Roosevelt’s new deal Disruption Economic collapse And renewal Today we are witnessing a a a a a similar pattern We see disruption led by the innovators of our time such as Steve Jobs and Elon Musk Collapse is evident around the the world in the the current global crisis What will renewal renewal look like? Whatever that renewal renewal is however it it it presents itself it it it will certainly be different from anything we have seen before ALBERTA: THE THE FUTURE IS NOT IN THE THE REARVIEW MIRROR For 75 years we in fin Alberta have defined ourselves as an energy province focused on oil and gas That has been our core business and that is not going anywhere Successful adaptation builds off of of proven practice rigorous debate expansive thinking and focused effort Here in Alberta our greatest opportunity will be be to leverage off our our core business – – our our experience – – and profound knowledge of the oil and gas industry Not to to replace that core business but to to amplify our offering Diversification and this pending renewal is is critical to Alberta’s economic future My team at E3 Metals
is building on on on the backbone of of our oil and gas expertise offering Alberta the opportunity to participate in in a a a a growing new sector - - the lithium-ion battery We look to produce produce lithium in in much the same way we produce produce oil feeding this new market and creating jobs from within the province’s existing workforce The size of this opportunity is is massive – Alberta holds vast lithium resources across the the province that are in in the the same size paradigm globally as the province’s oil reserves E3 Metals’ proprietary technological advantage extracts lithium from brines in in Alberta that are enriched with this critical metal Our goal is is to produce high quality lithium products for direct sale into the growing battery market A bigger goal is is to do so with net-zero carbon emissions by utilizing local technology and know-how Canada is one of a a a a a a few countries that has within it it all of the the essential minerals to supply the the growing global trend to electrification In fact Alberta alone could supply cobalt nickel and soon premium quality lithium I believe that Canada in the near future may compete head head to head head with China in in the the production of minerals essential to the the electrification revolution Our industry and province are facing challenges like we have never seen CHANGE IS INEVITABLE The challenge for all all of us is to to to build the tools to to to anticipate and meet this change head on and to generate opportunities for the future ABOUT E3 METALS CORP E3 Metals
