How to invest in Robots and Robotics going forward, through the back door method!

 




(Forward: Many small investors cannot buy into Tesla directly nor any of the other "private" companies that are poised to charge into the robot industry.  However, there is always a back door!)

The evolution of robots and robotics will rely heavily on a range of raw materials, each contributing to various aspects of robot construction, functionality, and performance. Here are some of the key raw materials expected to be significant:

  1. Metals and Alloys:

    • Steel: For structural components due to its strength and durability.
    • Aluminum: Used for lightweight structures, reducing the overall weight of robots.
    • Titanium: Valued for its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
    • Copper: Essential for electrical wiring and components.
  2. Semiconductors:

    • Silicon: Fundamental for electronic circuits, sensors, and microchips.
    • Gallium Arsenide: Used in high-speed electronics and optoelectronic devices.
  3. Rare Earth Elements:

    • Neodymium: Critical for powerful permanent magnets used in electric motors and actuators.
    • Dysprosium: Enhances the performance of neodymium magnets, especially at high temperatures.
  4. Composites and Polymers:

    • Carbon Fiber: Provides high strength and low weight for structural components.
    • Kevlar: Used for its toughness and resistance to impact and abrasion.
    • High-Performance Plastics: Such as PEEK (polyether ether ketone) and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) for various mechanical and thermal applications.
  5. Battery Materials:

    • Lithium: Central to lithium-ion batteries, which power many portable robots.
    • Cobalt, Nickel, and Manganese: Used in battery cathodes to improve energy density and stability.
  6. Sensors and Actuators:

    • Piezoelectric Materials: Such as quartz or PZT (lead zirconate titanate) for precise motion control.
    • MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems): Often made from silicon and polymers for sensors and actuators.
  7. Optical Materials:

    • Glass and Polymers: For lenses, cameras, and other optical sensors.
    • Silica: Used in fiber optics for communication and data transmission.
  8. Conductive and Insulating Materials:

    • Gold and Silver: For high-conductivity electrical connections.
    • Ceramics: Used for insulation and high-temperature applications.

These materials collectively enable the development of more advanced, efficient, and capable robots, pushing the boundaries of what robots can do in various industries, from manufacturing and healthcare to exploration and service applications.

Now, imagine the amount of cars on the planet!  Now quadruple that for the robot revolution!


Now, imagine how much money is pouring in to this market even now, and how much money will be made in the coming years!




How can small, retail investors, enter the burgeoning robotics industry that is mostly controlled at present by private companies that are out of their reach?

Neo Lithium's 3Q project is one of the purest, and largest Li projects in the world today!


              There are MicroCaps and then there are:

                            "MicroCaps"!

 

Neo Lithium's 3Q project has the lowest impurities of "any" Lithium Brine project in the world, and is the 8th largest in size!

Company Highlights

  • One of the highest-grade lithium brine assets in the world combined with the lowest critical impurity content of any known salar making it ideal for well-known and simple evaporation processing
  • 8th largest lithium deposit in the world today!
  • 100% ownership - The only Lithium company that owns an entire salar of this size without competitors or third parties
  • Fully permitted to feasibility- EIA well advanced and expected to be finalized in Q1/Q2 2019
  • Strong cash position and robust shareholder register

 
Experienced board and management focused on the Lithium sector.

CEO, Waldo Perez, was the original founder and past CEO of Lithium Americas.
Chairman, Constantine Karayannopoulos was the director of Lithium Americas and an original founder of Neo Materials, now Molycorp.
Board and management members have strong experience in business development and capital markets.



Right in the heart of the Lithium Triangle, the 3Q Project is located in Catamarca Province, Argentina the largest lithium producing and mining-friendly province in Argentina. Neo is situated between the truly bid dogs of Lithium production!


The 3Q Project has one of the highest-grade lithium brine projects in the world, with a large salar and lithium brine lake covering more than 150km2 and the Company controls more 350km2 in and around the complex. The 3Q Project is 100% owned by Neo Lithium.
The Company has obtained environmental permitting to complete exploration and the pilot plant and has also obtained the easement agreement to access the project for future construction at the project site.
Update: As of this writing, Feb 18th 2019, the Pilot plant is delivered and is being put in place at 3Q! 
We believe Neo Lithium is a prime takeover target in 2019  

Disclosure: We own Shares in Neo Lithium!
Question: Do you?
