大众汽车完成对加拿大锂矿公司的投资
Volkswagen closes investment in Canadian lithium miner
Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）获悉，大众汽车集团已完成对加拿大锂勘探公司Patriot Battery Metals 4,800万美元的战略投资。
Volkswagen Group has completed its $48 million strategic investment in Canadian lithium exploration company Patriot Battery Metals, Kallanish learns.
这项交易使这家德国汽车制造商正式获得Patriot公司9.8%的股份，并确保每年向大众汽车的电池公司PowerCo供应10万吨锂辉石精矿。该承购协议涵盖10年的供应，确保为PowerCo位于安大略省圣托马斯的电池工厂提供原材料。
The transaction officially gives the German carmaker a 9.8% share in Patriot and secures the supply of 100,000 tonnes/year of spodumene concentrate to VW’s battery company PowerCo. The offtake covers 10 years of supply, ensuring raw material for PowerCo’s battery gigafactory in St. Thomas, Ontario.
双方还打算探索联合化学转化设施的潜力，将锂辉石转化为碳酸锂或氢氧化锂。
The parties also intend to explore the potential for a joint chemical conversion facility, which would see the spodumene being converted into lithium carbonate or hydroxide.
Patriot首席执行官Ken Brinsden评论道：“我们非常高兴和自豪地欢迎大众汽车成为我们的战略股东。他们对Patriot的投资标志着公司向前迈出了重要一步。”
“We are both pleased and proud to welcome VW as a strategic shareholder. Their investment in Patriot represents a significant step forward for the company,” comments Patriot’s ceo Ken Brinsden.
他补充说：“作为北美的高品位、大规模资源，Shaakichiuwaanaan有能力帮助满足预计到本十年末及以后的大幅锂需求增长，并在此过程中促进西部主要供应链的发展。”
“As a high-grade and large-scale resource in North America, Shaakichiuwaanaan is well-placed to help meet the substantial demand growth for lithium that is forecast through to the end of this decade and beyond, and in the process to grow key western supply chains, he adds.
投资收益将用于魁北克项目的勘探、开发和完成可行性研究。Shaakichiuwaanaan的矿产资源量估计为8,010万吨，氧化锂含量为1.44%，推断资源量为6,250万吨。据说这是美洲最大的伟晶岩型锂矿资源，也是世界第八大伟晶岩型锂矿资源。
The investment proceeds will be used for exploration, development and completion of a feasibility study for the project in Quebec. Shaakichiuwaanaan has a mineral resource estimate of 80.1 million tonnes at 1.44% lithium oxide indicated, and 62.5m t inferred. It’s touted to be the largest lithium pegmatite resource in the Americas and the eighth in the world.
Patriot相信，鉴于该矿床还有其他多个尚未进行钻探测试的锂辉石伟晶岩群，其潜力还有上升空间。
Patriot believes in an upside to its potential given the property has multiple other spodumene pegmatite clusters that have not been drill tested yet.
与大众汽车的交易于12月宣布。 这家德国汽车制造商支付了30天成交量加权平均价65%的溢价，认购价为每股4.42加元。
The deal with VW was announced in December. The German carmaker paid a premium of 65% on the 30-day volume weighted average price, with a subscription price of CAD 4.42/share.
PowerCo的圣托马斯电池工厂计划每年生产多达90吉瓦时的电池，供应约100万辆电动汽车。在特朗普赢得大选和特鲁多辞职之前，大众汽车集团宣布了到2030年在北美推出超过25款电动汽车的计划。
PowerCo’s St. Thomas gigafactory is planned to produce up to 90 gigawatt-hours of batteries to power around 1 million EVs per year. Before Trump’s election victory and Trudeau’s resignation, the Volkswagen Group announced plans to introduce over 25 EV models in North America by 2030.
