Peter Secker - President, Chief
Executive Officer
Canada Lithium Corp.
Mr. Secker has worked in the mining and resources industry for the past 30 years. He has built and operated mines in Australia, South Africa, Fiji and China. Most recently, he was Chief Executive Officer of Michelago Ltd. which built a 150,000 oz bacterial gold project in Shandong province, China. Prior to that, Mr. Secker was also Vice-President, Operations for Sino Gold, during the period it developed the Jianchaling Gold Mine, the first western built gold mine in China. His career also includes periods as General Manager Operations for the TIWEST titanium project in Western Australia, Mine Manager of Emperor Mines Ltd. in Fiji, Operations Manager of the Youanmi Gold Mine in Australia, and Mine Captain for Rand Mines in South Africa.
Canada Lithium Corp., a "clean-tech" mine developer, is constructing an open-pit lithium carbonate mine and processing plant near Val d'Or, Quebec to meet the growing needs of the emerging global market for electric and hybrid electric vehicles, as well as grid-storage solutions. It is anticipated that commissioning of the mine and plant will occur in late 2012 and full production of an annualized 20,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate should ensue in 2013. Metallurgical tests have produced battery-grade lithium carbonate from deposit samples and the Company plans to market its products in North America, Europe and Asia. The Company trades under the symbol CLQ on the TSX and on the U.S. OTCQX under the symbol CLQMF.
Canada Lithium Corp.’s Quebec project was an underground mine and surface process plant that operated from 1955 to 1965, producing spodumene, lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. Canada Lithium acquired the property in mid-2008 and immediately undertook data compilation and analysis from old mine records. It also embarked on a large drill program both to confirm earlier work and generate new exploration data in an attempt to extend the known lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes. This work lead to an updated Feasibility Study in June 2011, while actual site clearing and surface plant construction began in August 2011. At a capital cost of $207 million, the mine and plant ares expected to be in commissioning phase by late 2012. Full production of battery-grade lithium carbonate should occur later in 2013.Excellent Sponsorship Opportunities Available!
