Electric Vehicles need batteries. We think that the demand for three particular battery metals will grow significantly in 2023…
BUT
Only a few mining stocks are ready to meet this demand.

Download the Next Investors "5 Battery Materials Stocks We’ve Invested in for 2023" ebook and you will:

  • DISCOVER our best ever Investment which grew 8,225% from our Initial Entry Price. Nestled in the heart of Europe, this company is aiming to become the world’s first Zero Carbon Lithium producer. Five offtake deals with major car companies like Stellantis and Volkswagen + a $250M war chest, can you guess who it is?

  • EXPLORE how this advanced stage project in the Czech Republic could be at the forefront of an Electric Vehicle (EV) battery revolution. Next-gen batteries need this metal. The company is strategically located in Europe in very close proximity to where over 25 EV plants and 30 battery plants will soon be operating.

  • LEARN how one junior mining company is expanding its discovery of a rare metal in Norway - the majority of the metal comes from a single African country and processing is dominated by China.

Three battery materials set for a big 2023...

The world is desperate to cut carbon emissions and speed up electrification.Governments, businesses and society need to transition quickly to meet the ambitious net zero emissions targets.The transition won’t be possible without an immense amount of lithium-ion batteries and the raw materials that go in them.As a result of the sheer scale of the demand, and the number of projects that need to come online in the next decade, we are convinced that battery materials are the lifeblood of the energy transition.We’ve been Investing in small cap stocks for 20+ years, and to date, our best Investments have been in the stocks leveraged to the energy transition.We want to repeat that success with the 5 stocks we’ve profiled in this ebook.No doubt, you’ve heard of lithium’s success.But lithium isn’t the only battery material the world needs.Lithium led the charge for many investors, including us, over the past two years. Going forward, we see a lithium-like opportunity in some of the lesser known battery materials.In this ebook, you’ll get an in-depth look at three of the battery materials that are yet to catch the riptide of mainstream conversation and the five companies that we think will ride on this second wave of battery materials demand.The three battery materials we’re talking about are graphite, cobalt and manganese.Below you can see how much of these materials go into an EV battery pack on a kg/EV basis:

Here’s the quick rundown on graphite, cobalt and manganese.

Graphite

Graphite is a form of crystalline carbon found in nature (it can also be made synthetically).It is also a mineral with some unique properties. It is very soft, falls apart easily but it is also extremely resistant to heat and barely reacts with other materials.With high electrical and thermal conductivity - this makes it a great battery material.Graphite is the dominant material across a range of battery chemistries - the average EV has some 70kgs of graphite in it.And supply is lacking - Benchmark Minerals predicts a need of 97 new graphite mines over the next 13 years, assuming 56,000 tonnes/year average mine capacity.In this e-book we profile the two graphite stocks we’ve Invested in.

Cobalt

Cobalt is a moderately reactive hard shiny bluish-grey metal that is usually produced as a by-product of copper and nickel mining.Cobalt’s role in a battery is as a sort of moderating force - it ensures cathodes (not anodes, those are graphite) don’t overheat or even worse catch fire. It also helps extend the life of batteries - automakers usually guarantee their batteries for 8 to 10 years.Because cobalt is so good at improving the longevity of batteries - it's hard to strip out of the supply chain, despite its significant cost.The majority (~70%) of it is sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which produced 120,000 tonnes in 2021.Meanwhile, China controls 65% of the processing of cobalt.European EV makers are cleaning up their supply chain and we think ethically sourced cobalt from friendly jurisdictions must urgently be discovered and brought online.In this ebook we profile the European cobalt stock we’ve Invested in.

Manganese

Manganese is a hard, brittle, silvery metal and has an array of industrial alloy uses.When we talk about manganese we’re more interested in the high-purity manganese that goes into EV batteries.Manganese rich batteries promise to be a major part of the next generation of battery technology.To meet this demand from next-gen batteries, the world needs to 10x its high purity manganese supply to meet demand by 2030.In this e-book we profile the two manganese stocks we’ve Invested in.
