We dig further into the lithium boom in our lead up to an in-paper special on the commodity that’s all abuzz thanks to Elon Musk and Tesla Motors‘ (NASDAQ: TSLA) gigafactory in Nevada. Matt suffers the effects of overly embracing national wine day, but rallies to provide an exclusive update on Oban Mining (TSX: OBM; US-OTC: OBNNF) and some socio-political events in Colombia and the Kyrgyz Republic.
Lesley digs deep into the geology and fundamentals of lithium following an extensive interview with Pure Energy Minerals (TSXV: PE). Other lithium plays include: Nemaska Lithium (TSXV: NMX; US-OTC: NMKEF), Lithium Americas (TSX: LAC), and Orocobre (TSX: ORL; ASX: ORE).
Bonus pop culture coverage: We play the Price is Right with U.S. interest rates, why Matt might make a poor stock broker, and deep shaft sinking!

I think you had the name of the COO for Pure Energy incorrect. Isn’t it Andy Robinson, not Don Robinson?
