Atacama Resources with an Expanded Mandate to Participate in the EV Marketplace
Atacama Resources International, Inc. was founded seven years ago as a US public company and focused on mining claims for properties in Kirkland Lake, Ontario’s ‘Golden Mile’ that showed indications of having viable concentrations of gold ore. When looking for gold, concentrations of cobalt and graphite often were found as well, and Atacama decided that cobalt and graphite were targets of interest as well.
Since Atacama Resources was founded in 2015, the EV (Electric Vehicle) market has matured and over the last two years especially, virtually all automobile manufacturers globally have decided that their future is dependent on transitioning from internal combustion engine-powered automobiles to electric automobiles, SUV’s, and trucks. This means that the demand for lithium, cobalt, and graphite used to manufacture EV batteries will increase exponentially in the years ahead.
Because of the ever-increasing demand for lithium, especially, new lithium mining sources must be found in the Western Hemisphere to offset current sources of lithium in countries that may exploit their strong position and do not always work in the best interests of the United States. Atacama is committed to becoming a player in lithium exploration activities in Canada and the US.
Atacama Resources International is an OTC Pink Current United States public company. As stated earlier the company is a mining exploration company with mining claims in the greater Kirkland Lake area in Ontario, Canada. The company is reviewing additional properties in northern Canada as well as properties in the United States.
Due to the enormous growth of the EV market, minerals of interest include gold, graphite, cobalt, lithium, silver, and nickel.
There are several gold properties near the existing Atacama gold property in Kirkland Lake that are under review for the purpose of acquiring additional mining claims.
In addition, the company has previously explored cobalt and graphite locations within 30 miles of the existing Atacama gold property. The cobalt and graphite claims are still available, and steps are being taken to acquire the mineral rights to these properties.
The company is talking with brokers presenting lithium properties in both Canada and the United States. Decisions will be made this year regarding the acquisition of mining claims relating to lithium. Properties in Nevada look very promising, and a lithium processing plant is being built in Northern Nevada.
The emergence of the EV market has presented a new opportunity for Atacama Resources and the company is positioning itself to take advantage of the opportunity.
