The Argentinian project may enjoy a similar development speed. Recharge said it's working closely with in-country advisors on the fully funded single 450-meter production diameter, a mission intended to confirm the flow rate, lithium content, and continuity of lithium brines delineated during previous drill campaigns for the establishment of a NI 43-101 compliant resource. A video published by RECHF shows the high flow rate encountered in both holes drilled in 2018. Recharge expects the high flow rates to result in reduced operational costs, including lowering the number of pumps required and ensuring the columns have sufficient brine with the Ekosolve(TM) extraction methodology contemplated for the Pocitos 1 project.
The better news for RECHF and its investors is that the new approvals broaden Recharge's development mission.

Broadening A Development Mission At Pocitos
With new approvals, RECHF can move quickly to drill a production diameter well at the Pocitos 1 lithium salar. As shown in the video above, the flow rates of lithium brines were substantial. Moreover, with two existing drill holes in place, this new drilling contributes to establishing a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. It's also further benefited by an Argentinian geological team enabling swift progress towards its primary objective of establishing a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource, a scoping study of the project, and identifying offtake and supply opportunities for lithium products and strategic partners for the Pocitos 1 Project.

While past performance shouldn't be the most relied-on indicator of future success, the mining and exploration sector may be an exception to that rule. And with mineral deposits not necessarily stingy where they settle, bordering a property indicated to have potentially massive reserves is indeed bullish to neighboring prospects. Thus, the recent strength in RECHF stock should come as no surprise.
And those gains could be the precursor of more to come. Remember that Rock Tech expects to deliver up to 10,000 tonnes of high-quality lithium hydroxide per year to

Massive Demand From
Besides ideally located, RECHF exploration, development, and production initiatives target an EV and battery metals industry expected to become a trillion-dollar market by 2034. But with an anticipated CAGR of 18.2% over the next eight years, breaching the trillion-dollar mark could happen years before the end of this decade.
Remember, too, that RECHF doesn't necessarily need to mine the metals and minerals to deliver potentially exponential investment returns; just proving the reserves could be enough to increase share prices significantly. Therefore, if results from its Phase 1 exploration programs come as expected, RECHF could benefit from value-creating opportunities through partnerships, leases, or contract commitments similar to Rock Techs.
As it stands, few, if any, arguments suggest that RECHF isn't in the right markets with the right properties at the right time. That's because they are and are also well-positioned to capitalize on record-setting demand and prices from an EV metals market that, in the US market alone, could account for a more than 16X increase in the need for EV batteries by 2035. Keep in mind, that's just the US market. Factoring in global market demand, that number could be multiples higher.
Global Demand Enhances The Revenue-Generating Opportunities
That's the more appropriate number to watch since RECHF is intent on capitalizing on its production opportunities and becoming a vital battery metals contributor to a global market. The market potential is massive. Since 2017, EV sales have been soaring, with more than 17 million vehicles sold, scoring over
And so is a recently passed infrastructure package intending to provide billions to expedite strengthening an EV industry and a shift to green energy. Those grants, awards, and contracts aren't only for a selected few. Junior exploration companies like RECHF can also benefit from investment programs. In fact, that's probable, as the domestic demand for critical green fuel continues to grow at a record pace. Moreover, in a green metals and minerals market with no borders, companies like
That interest is already a value driver in play.

But keep in mind that TSLA is just one player. As of 2022, over 20 manufacturers and component suppliers are now considered "major" players. And despite having different business agendas, they all share in common needing the same lithium, nickel, cobalt, and other metals to power their creations. With that comes their understanding that not securing a power source- their cars and products will face a difficult, if not impossible, challenge getting their goods to market.
Diversification In The Recharge Resources Portfolio
They are also capitalizing on other market opportunities by adding a third asset to its business pipeline potential- cobalt. It's also a critical metal needed for EV battery production. But more valuable to RECHF's opportunity to attract client interest is that virtually no cobalt production is happening in
Hence, that focus adds another appreciable revenue-generating shot on goal to the business plan. Moreover, as one of only a handful of North American suppliers, it's within reason to believe that RECHF could earn a sizable market share, whether alone or through partnerships, after reporting already being in the early stages of proving its cobalt resources. If those reserve estimates are verified, it's feasible for RECHF to become one of the first North American cobalt resources brought into commercial production.
If that happens, obviously, the path of least resistance for RECHF shares is higher. Also, a single mining score from any of its projects can influence that trend. And as noted, the most significant part of that mission may be cleared- they have the properties to make that happen. Not only that, they are filling an important need knowing that large-cap miners alone can't haul the load and supply global demand. It just isn't a realistic assumption. Actually, the opposite is true.

Remember, while the Rock Tech news has inspired bullish speculation, the biggest attraction to RECHF isn't about Rock Tech. It's about RECHF and, more specifically, its position to capitalize on a significant near and long-term business opportunity. That's where investors should focus, recognizing the value inherent to project potential still disconnected from its share price.
Moreover, with RECHF expediting plans to develop its properties and monetize its assets to markets showing no signs of slowing, investing ahead of imminent updates may be a timely consideration. Also, RECHF is also well-positioned to capitalize on the benefits of feeding a "seller's market" where pricing power is likely the norm for the long term. And, as noted, just proving assets could be enough to maximize that opportunity.
Hence, the sum of its parts makes RECHF an attractive opportunity. They have promising projects in proven territories, border properties making more than half-trillion dollar deals, and are accelerating operational momentum with new permits in mining-friendly jurisdictions. Thus, with several project updates expected by the end of 2022, recognizing the investment opportunity is one thing; acting on it may be the better consideration. After all, RECHF is offering a lot to like.
