A major shareholder just made the case for why $LIB.V$VLTLF might be the best-positioned lithium play on the market.
Here’s the breakdown of the bull case from a 16-min deep dive 🧵 (1/9)
On June 8, $LIB.V$VLTLF announced its first-ever offtake agreement term sheet with a US industrial client, shares up 20% in a session.
No longer just an experimental process, an active producer with its first delivered order. DYOR, NFA. $LIB.V$VLTLF (9/9)
Risks: junior resource company risk, single commercial partner dependence, low lithium concentration in Permian brine (15-40 ppm), TSXV volatility, and dilution risk from future financings.
Real factors, but not dealbreakers per the author. $LIB.V$VLTLF (8/9)
At today’s ~$24,000/t price, Stage 3 revenue could hit ~$96M/yr. At $32,000/t, ~$128M.
Tech companies often trade at far higher revenue multiples than resource companies, the author argues, this is what gets you to a billion-dollar valuation vs today’s ~$150M cap. $LIB.V$VLTLF
The numbers: all-in opex of $6,200/tonne.
Anticipated demand of 10,000 t/yr through 2029 from groups already holding Li2CO3 samples.
Lithium carbonate projected at $32,000/tonne by mid-2027, up 33% from today.
$LIB.V$VLTLF (6/9)
The Gen 6 platform cut cycle time from ~60 min to ~20 min, hit 99% recovery and 99.5% battery-grade purity, after 400,000 barrels processed and 2,500 operating tests.
Enverus estimates the Permian alone could support 225,000 t/yr, a $19B opportunity.
$LIB.V$VLTLF (5/9)
The build-out is contractual under a Feb 2026 deal with @selectwaterinc, 3 stages across the Permian’s Midland Basin:
Stage 1 (1,000 t/yr before year end 2026, 60% pre-contracted)
Stage 2 (2,000 t/yr by mid-2027)
Stage 3 (4,000 t/yr by mid-end of 2027).
$LIB.V$VLTLF (4/9)
$LIB.V$VLTLF isn’t a miner.
It’s a tech company with a proprietary DLE process that installs directly onto existing oilfield brine ponds across the American west, no drilling, no exploration, no years of permitting. (3/9)
The core thesis: lithium is critical, undervalued, and under-produced in North America.
Carbonate prices fell 70% from the Nov 2022 peak, but the supply response to that crash has been brutal: cancellations, delays, thinned pipelines. $LIB.V$VLTLF (2/9)
I wonder how many of these random connections re $HGRAF will actually turn out to be true, and how many are just my wishful thinking going down a rabbit hole. 🕳️
I guess only time will tell.
🧵 Silver paste runs thermal management in electronics.
GaN transistors, radar, power modules - - all rely on it.
Silver surged past $80/oz earlier this year. 6th straight year of supply deficit. China restricting exports.
Graphene paste is ready to launch. $HGRAF$HG 👇
Silver paste had a 20-year run as the default.
The physics of graphene, US supply chain pressure, and DARPA-funded demand for next-gen thermal solutions are all pointing the same direction. 📍

The USGS added silver to its critical minerals list in 2025. China restricted silver exports in Jan 2026, limiting eligible exporters to 44 companies.
Defence procurement has a substitution problem.
Graphene doesn’t. 🌐 $HGRAF#SupplyChain#CriticalMinerals
3 clear entry points where graphene paste replaces silver paste first:
🔹 Die-attach layers in GaN/SiC power devices
🔹 Heat spreader interfaces in radar and EW systems
🔹 Thermal coatings in defence microelectronics
All active targets for @DARPA THREADS primes. $HGRAF$HG
A peer-reviewed study in Graphene and 2D Materials (Springer) confirmed HydroGraph’s graphene coating increased the heat transfer coefficient of copper by 152%.
40% increase in critical heat flux.
Published science, not marketing. 🔥 $HGRAF$HGlink.springer.com/article/10…
HydroGraph’s Graphene Paste: 99.8% pure Fractal Graphene™, pre-dispersed and pre-stabilized at 60mV Zeta potential. Works at loadings from 0.001% by weight.
Drop into existing water-based TIM formulations. No reformulation needed. 🧪 $HGRAFhydrograph.com/graphene-past…
Graphene’s thermal conductivity runs up to 5,000 W/m·K in-plane.
Formulated into a paste at low loadings, it outperforms silver paste - at a fraction of the material cost and zero precious metal supply chain exposure. 💥

Silver paste tops out at ~15 W/m·K. Decent…but it degrades.
It pump-outs under thermal cycling.
Hard to rework once cured.
Silver’s price is up 85% in a year. The input cost is now a supply chain risk. ⚠️
