"As the world moves to electrification powered by lithium ion batteries, our Nevada based lithium molecule business is beginning to be recognized by the financial markets," said Jay Chmelauskas, President and CEO of Western Lithium. "My gardening equipment, mobile electronics, hybrid SUV, electric sedan are all powered by lithium ion batteries. Consumers can now purchase a wall of lithium to power their homes. Industrial users are installing mega lithium batteries for energy storage. The demand for lithium just got bigger and investors are taking notice, voting Western Lithium number one on the 2015 OTCQX Best 50 with their share purchases."
