The EU, North America with the US and Canada, Australia, and to a lesser extent Japan have decided to transition away from fossil-based energy and transport systems towards those that are based on so-called renewables. Independent of whether we think that is realistic - at least in the EU and the US the economies now have binding targets to cut C02 emissions, and build countless EV cars, wind turbines, and photovoltaic parks.
![Energy-Transition-min](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_glossy,ret_img,w_1087,h_452/https://explorado-invest.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Energy-Transition-min.png)
Lets just have a look at wind turbines, which need substantial ammounts of Rare Earth Elements (REE), which are contained in their permanent magnets. The EU alone wants to increase its wind generation capacity from currently 180 GW to 470 GW by 2030.
AND THAT IS JUST THE EU. AND THAT IS JUST WIND TURBINES
![Wind-generation-min](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_glossy,ret_img,w_1204,h_491/https://explorado-invest.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Wind-generation-min.png)
The 3 graphs below show (from left to right - click on the pics to see them enlarged):
1) The projected increase in EV sales globally. In 2023, we have somewhat hit the 4mio pcs line. This is expected to more than quadruple to 16,5mio in 2030
2) The amount of minerals and metals contained in ONE EV car battery. While there are different battery models on the market, with different mineral/metal compositions, the NCA model, currently the most widely used, contains 52kg of graphite, 35kg aluminium, 29kg nickel, 20kg copper, 10kg of manganese, 8kg of cobalt, 6kg of lithium, as well as steel and iron. Now you can do the maths!
3) The table on the right shows the increase per metal, again just for EVs, in percentage.
There is a mood of alarmism in Brussels, Washington and other places, such as the HQs of the big automotive producers. In California and Detroit. In Wolfsburg and Munich. In Paris and Tokyo. Because they know a race is on.
A RACE FOR MINERALS AND METALS TO BUILD ALL THESE CARS, MACHINES, TURBINES ETC.
AT THE MOMENT WE KNOW THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MINERALS AND METALS IN THE PIPELINE. THAT MEANS THAT EVERY COMPANY THAT FINDS NEW DEPOSITS OF LITHIUM, COBALT, NICKEL, COPPER ETC. WILL BE THE PRICED GAME OF THE MONTHS.
So....what does this mean for you? Well, we think it means it is worthwhile to consider investing in the junior mining space. The time is sweet. But we also think it is important to understand the sector before you engage in it. And this is why we are here for you.
But...just to close the story above. This pressure for more critical 'battery metals' is the very reason why we have seen company performances like the below. Have a look at PATRIOT BATTERY METALS, which explores lithium deposits in Canada:

The exploration resulted in a successful discovery of the Corvette Lithium Property in Canada's James Bay. Because of the lithium market frenzy, the period between 2020 and late 2022 saw the share price rise by 50%....no wait, 100%, no, that's still incorrect:
It was more than 7000%!

Material demand to realize the transition to green energy & transport systems results in a huge demand increase for so-called 'battery-metals'.
Those juniors who find and develop badly needed deposist will be among the top-winners.
And those who invested in them.

Ophir has originally held a gold exploration property; however, the firm has put together a team of lithium experts, including with ties to Patriot Battery Metals. With the option to acquire 100% of the Radis propoerty, the firm raides the hot lithium wave. Of course, it has to prove the prospectivity of its property, but the vicinity to Q2 more advanced and measured lithium deposits, some proven resources and the team make this a firm to watch.
Brunswick (BRW) is agressively buying and exploring lithium (spodumene) bearing dykes in a number of provinces in Canada. It has probably the world's largest territorry under lithium exploration at present. Its projects in Quebec's highly-prolific James Bay, and in the vicinity to Patriot Battery's operation are of special interest. Its rapid mode of acquisition and exploration is enjoying the market's attention
Interesting early exploration at an copper-gold pophyr. Located 30km to the south of the major Mt. Milligan gold-copper mine. The rather complex geology permits significant upside, but also of course faces the risk of not so good drill results. An interesting case of a more 'adventorous' early drill stage copper-gold project.
A bit of an 'historical' example (from 2016): at the time, severe inflationary fears and an easy fiat-money policy by the major central banks made the gold market attractive, and juniors with promising projects in prolific districts and with good management were able to reap substantial investor money. This company had some good results in one of Ontario's top producing gold districts, the 'Red Lake Gold District'. Also the other fundamentals were promising, so share prices skyrocketed within 6 months.

BUT PLEASE...READ THIS FIRST:
Everything you read above is true. Period. Junior Miners can generate these excessive rates of return.
To be clear: These can be life-changing investments, depending on what you have put down.
However, as in every successful endeavour, those will reap the benefits that know what they are doing!
You need to understand the fundamentals of the sector: You have to be able to analyze the property of the firm. Understand what the company is up too. In what metal market they are operating, and what the fundamentals of this market is like. You should be able to make sense of drilling results, and evaluate a deposit based on relative simple key metrics. And you should understand a few investment strategies that fit to the company in question.
Does that sound overwhelming? We ensure you, it is not. It is our business to help you understand the exploration industry, with everything we have just mentioned.
Therefore, we have developed our EXPLORADO MASTER CLASS.
In 10 chapters, slides and the chance for life Q&A sessions, you will comprehend this existing industry, see opportunities, guide your investment, and make fantastic returns.
