4 letters that will change your life...BHWX

Black Hawk Exploration
Announces Intentions to Expand!
Prepares Drilling Program!

That news is from a recent Black Hawk (BHWX: OTCBB) press release. Unless you're a precious metals fanatic like me, chances are you didn't see it. And, you'd have to be a mineral and mining junkie to appreciate its true significance. It's the first public acknowledgment of a possible second U.S. lithium resource that could rival or even exceed the vast 750 million kg lithium reserve of Nevada's Clayton Valley.

For the few who really understand that there's a paradigm shift taking place in the energy world, the statement simply oozes with the promise of the kind of once-in-a-lifetime profits that build family fortunes.

Read on and you'll discover the fascinating story of the seminal lithium revolution now underway, and why Black Hawk Exploration is uniquely positioned to be the runaway beneficiary as America plugs into lithium-ion batteries:

Why Lithium Is About to Change the World

Everybody knows that. . .

A) The world is eventually going to run out of crude oil...

B) That in the interest of national security the U.S. has to do something about energy
independence, and...

C) That concerns over global warming have created a push for so-called "green energy."

Lithium is the solution to all of the above.

A) Before we run out of crude oil, lithium-ion batteries will replace gasoline engines
as the power source in cars, trucks, buses and most machinery. It's a realistic, viable
solution to the crude oil crisis.

B) Lithium will make the U.S. energy-independent. No longer will we be under the heel
of oil-rich countries that control much of the world's oil. According to the American
Institute of Mining the Clayton Valley contains some 750 million Kg of lithium.

C) Vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries do not create carbon exhaust. In fact they
create no exhaust whatsoever. And unlike, ethanol or hydrogen power that require the
use of petroleum-based energy to create energy, lithium brine deposits can be extracted
in an environmentally friendly and energy-positive manner because they are located
at depths of a few hundred meters.

Lithium Just Got a $5 Billion Booster Shot!

Buried in Washington's fix-everything stimulus plan, was a provision for $5 billion to be set aside for loans, grants and tax credits specifically to encourage the large-scale development and domestic manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles.

An additional $16.8 billion is available to encourage the development of renewable energy and to promote energy efficiency, of which $2 billion is actually ear-marked for the domestic battery industry and another $2.4 billion for tax credits to companies that build battery plants.

And don't forget, there's a $7,500 tax credit for anyone who buys a plug-in hybrid car powered by lithium-ion batteries.

If you want more evidence of the progress the automotive industry is making in the switch to lithium-ion batteries consider this:

  • GM is building a plant to manufacture lithium-ion batteries for the Chevy Volt scheduled to debut in 2011.
  • Lithium power technology will power the Ford Escape plug-in hybrid making its debut in 2012.
  • The power for Chrysler's new EcoVoyager, the Dodge ZEO, and Jeep Renegade will be supplied by lithium-ion batteries.
  • Toyota plans to launch its plug-in hybrid Priuses with lithium-ion batteries later this year.
  • Nissan is planning to use lithium-ion batteries for its 65,000 hybrids in 2010.
  • BMW announced plans to launch its lithium-ion battery-powered 750i luxury sedan to the Japanese in 2010.
  • Mercedes-Benz expects to market its S400 Blue HYBRID with a lithium-ion battery next year.

Now consider this: until just recently the primary use of lithium-ion batteries has been in cell phones and laptops. U.S. industry was able to get along with what it got from America's one lithium source or to import it from South America. BUT. . .a hybrid electric car requires 3,000 times more lithium than a cell phone and 100 times more than a laptop.

No wonder the need for lithium destined for battery usage is projected to increase 20% per year. In the next 3 years the annual market for rechargeable lithium batteries is forecast to be worth $6 billion.

And where is all that lithium going to come from?

As I mentioned, it's mostly been coming from South America, Bolivia to be specific and that's not making Washington official very happy. Bolivia is run by Marxist-socialist, Evo Morales, a close pal of Venezuelan strong man Hugo Chavez. So, is the rush from oil to lithium going to be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

No! America must be energy-independent. And it can be, because we have all the lithium we need for years and years to come just sitting there in a barren, forlorn, totally-uninhabited valley in southwest Nevada.

The Saudi Arabia of Lithium

Back in the 1970s, the U.S Geological Survey conducted an exhaustive survey of lithium deposits around the world. In Arizona and Nevada's Clayton Valley they sank 22 drill holes to record the concentrations of lithium brine. One of these drill sites was on what is now Black Hawk's new claim and adjacent to Chemetall-Foote’s ongoing lithium operation. USGS records recorded 1.3 and 1.7 ppm lithium in the intersected brines, plus 287 and 364 ppm lithium in the sediments.

In Layman's Terms, the Clayton Valley
is the Lithium Mother Load!


Black Hawk's newly-announced claims sit right in the Clayton Valley lithium sweet spot. Located in Esmeralda County Nevada, approximately 40 miles west of Goldfield and approximately 50 miles southwest of Tonopah. Access to the valley is by good paved road and it's in close proximity to major support centers and a local trained workforce.

The region surrounding the Clayton Valley contains some of the richest lithium concentrations in the world. Over eons, it's estimated that as much as 2 billion kg of lithium have leached from the surrounding rhyolite lava flow and underlying ash-flow into the drainage system of Clayton Valley.

These brines and evaporites have been accumulating in the vast Clayton Valley for at least 33,000 years and have the highest lithium content of any brines tested by the USGS in the southwestern US.

The Clayton Valley brines have been estimated to contain 750 million kg of lithium to a depth of 1,200 ft. (Kunasz, 1975) The Clayton Valley brines have the highest lithium content of all brines located in the southwestern United States.

The valley contains the only operating lithium brine mine in the US.

Nature Has Already Done Most of The Work

The process Black Hawk could use to get lithium carbonate from brine is so cost effective that hard-rock production used in South America is no longer economically viable. The brines are pumped from the ground and progressed through a series of evaporation ponds. Over the course of 12 to 18 months, concentration of the brine increases to 6,000 parts per million (ppm) lithium through solar evaporation. When the lithium chloride reaches optimum concentration, the liquid is pumped to a recovery plant and treated with soda ash, precipitating lithium carbonate. The carbonate is then removed through filtration, dried, and shipped.

This low-cost method of lithium production will give Black Hawk a huge advantage over South American hard-rock competition and guarantees its place as a leader in the exciting lithium revolution.

Buy Black Hawk Now At Up to $3 and Look to
Triple Your Money in 12 to 18 Months!

Thanks to an experienced local geologist, this still-undiscovered startup, Black Hawk Exploration (BHWX: OTCBB) has just acquired the mineral rights to 1,120 acres that sit smack in the epicenter of the Clayton Valley's most-concentrated lithium deposits.

In a very real sense, Black Hawk believes it sits atop the lithium mother load.

Black Hawk is a diversified energy and metals exploration company with its current focus on premium US based lithium development. The company is committed to an aggressive program of value added property acquisition, project generation, asset diversity and building Shareholder value. Speaking of which, here aretwo more good reasons to load up on this stock now:

REASON #1 - Black Hawk is the only new lithium venture located smack in the middle of the lithium-rich Clayton Valley, however, just look at what's happened to the stocks of several newly-launched also-rans...

  • Western Lithium was up 500% in just 9 months.
  • New World Resources, up 300% in just 4 months.
  • And Quest Uranium rocketed 960% in just 12 weeks!

That’s why I'm telling all my readers to corner their share of this bull market with the only lithium mining stock I'm now recommending. Right now, the price is still below $3. But in the next 12 to 18 months it could produce a profit as high as 200%, tripling your money and turning a $5,000 investment into $15,000.

One of my most recent recommendations,
Quicksilver Resources, is up 117.10% since May 15th.
Black Hawk could be my next huge winner!

REASON #2 - Black Hawk is a sitting duck takeover target! The Canadian Press recently reported that large mining companies are actively seeking takeover targets. They know that demand for lithium-powered computers, cell phones, and cars will only continue to increase. And they know that only a handful of places on the planet produce lithium.

One Canadian mining giant just swooped in to grabbed a 100% interest in a lithium operation that included 29 mineral claims in Quebec. Another Canadian mining titan just purchased a 100% interest in 37 mineral claims in Churchill and Pershing Counties, Nevada.

Black Hawk is so new, it's still under the radar. But once it gets noticed, one of the big boys will likely swoop in and buy up every last share. If you’re in when that happens, you could be smiling all the way to the bank. If you’re too late, you’ll have only yourself to blame. So go online or call your discount broker to invest inBlack Hawk Exploration (BHWX: OTCBB).

That in a nut shell is why I am urging all my readers to invest now in Black Hawk Exploration (BHWX: OTCBB) now while you can still get the stock at up to $3 a share. Long term buying BHWX now could be like buying into Standard Oil in the 1880s when the last energy revolution was just getting started. Who knows what this stock will be worth in five or ten years?

Who am I and why should you pay any attention to my observations?

As I mentioned in the beginning, my name is James DiGeorgia and I am internationally known as a leading expert in the investment fields of precious metals and energy. I'm now alerting investors to the rising importance of lithium because it really will become the power source of the future and I'm recommendingBlack Hawk Exploration Corp. (BHWX: OTCBB) as the best way now to cash in on the rise of lithium.
