TRU Lithium Investor Due Diligence Checklist

TRU has been undertaking lithium investigations for many years and more recently a number of due diligence assignments on (junior) lithium mining companies in particular. You as an investor are NOT adequately protected! In the last two years alone there has been over forty new public or private brine-based and mineral-based lithium companies looking for investment. Some listed lithium companies obtained tens of millions of dollars from unsuspecting investors only to disintegrate or at minimum exit the lithium space! Here is a checklist of items to consider and watch out for in making a lithium investment since they are quite prevalent -

Lithium Plant
  • Management embellishment - some of it on the edge!
  • Uncalled for lithium space hype and unsupported claims
  • "Qualified Person" reporting but not lithium-qualified - nearly all are NOT lithium-qualified!*
  • Misleading Securities Exchange NI 43-101 JORC other reports - most have errors, many mislead!
  • "Independent" lithium advisors / experts that are not independent - few are independent!
  • Management that do not know lithium salar salt lake geology for lithium brine projects
  • Any geologists by background claiming lithium chemical engineering expertise
  • Lithium resource property ownershipthat could CLEARLY never support lithium chemical production
  • Lithium exploration in the most unlikely places for significant lithium occurrence
  • Engineering claims on teams for people that are not legally professional "engineers"
  • Inadequately qualified engineering - never engineered a SUCCESSFUL lithium process/facility
  • Claims of lithium engineering breakthroughs - lithium technology is tricky!
  • Feasibility studies based on unrealistic lithium strategy and/or ignorant business or operations plan
  • Optimistic lithium price assumptions for financial projections - most are, some outrageous!
  • Unrealistic timeline claims with respect to lithium salar and plant development or even construction of plants doomed to fail or be uncompetitive
