Three Companies to Own Before

Cheap Lithium Stocks Disappear Forever

Dear investor,

The way things are lining up, you have an opportunity to land a major stock win over the coming months...

...thanks to what I believe will be the first and quite possibly biggest boom to hit in 2026.

And believe me, I’m as surprised as anyone...

Because I’m talking about LITHIUM stocks.

You remember
lithium, right?

It boomed not once but twice during the past eight years.

Both times, several stocks went crazy.

Both times, they fell back hard.

Ask anyone who rode lithium miner Pilbara Minerals from 15 cents in March 2020...all the way up to $5.40 in two and a half years...

...

...then watched it crash all the way back down to $1.21 after the peak in 2023.

Pilbara Minerals’ rise and fall was the stuff of legend.

Its Pilgangoora operation in Western Australia became synonymous with the second lithium boom.

Some investors were lucky enough to make 35 TIMES their money on Pilbara between 2020 and 2022.

But when the tide turned, that stock fell HARD. An almost 80% drop, peak to trough.

That’s BRUTAL!

But this has been the story of lithium booms over the past decade:

Time things to perfection — make a killing.

Stick around too long — get your butt kicked.

HOWEVER...

I believe that story’s over.

See, there’s something different going on in the lithium market right now...

You may have noticed that Pilbara has been running hot again since June this year.

...

It’s up 84% at the time of writing.

And it isn’t the only
lithium
stock moving
right now...

Liontown Resources is up 45% since June...

...

Mineral Resources is up 68% over the same three-month period...

...

Jindalee Lithium is up 115% since April 1st...

...

While lithium explorer Native Mineral Resources has jumped up 285% this year.

...

So what’s going on?

And more importantly:

Should you be buying

lithium stocks
right now?

I’m going to answer these questions for you in this letter.

But these moves definitely show that investor confidence is creeping back into the lithium sector...

Something big is brewing — I can feel it.

In fact I predict..

  • Between now and the end of 2026, more lithium miners will follow suit...start popping...and become some of the top performers anywhere on the ASX.

And if I’m right about that, these stock gains could look like baby steps by comparison.

That’s because many publicly listed lithium miners are still trading close to their historical LOWS, after the last crash.

Yes, despite a handful of companies jumping the gun, many lithium stocks are DIRT CHEAP, by any reliable measure.

That’s why I believe a modest investment now — in a few carefully selected lithium plays — could eclipse anything else you do over the next 12 months.

That includes tech,
crypto,
gold, real
estate – ALL OF IT

Yes that’s a big claim.

But it’s not SO big when you cast your mind back to the two most recent lithium runs.

Between 2015 and 2018 — boom number one — some lithium stocks went ballistic.

Altura Mining gained over 700%...

...

Our old friend Pilbara Minerals went up over 2,600%...

...

While Galaxy Resources shot up an eye-popping 2,956%.

...

Investors who positioned
early
in these stocks hit
the jackpot

Then, between 2020 and 2022, it happened again.

During boom two...

Lake Resources gained over 2,800%...

...

Core Lithium soared over 4,800%...

...

While Vulcan Energy rocketed up a massive 10,158%.

...

Imagine nailing just

ONE of these gains

Now picture owning two or three of them.

In fact, let’s say you’d put $500 into each of these three lithium stocks in 2020...

By the time that boom ran out of steam you’d be sitting on $90,645 — from a $1,500 investment.

Now obviously, not every lithium stock went up like these.

And many of the ones that DID go up crashed hard when the lithium market nosedived 90% in 2023.

Every speculative boom is risky...

...which is why I can’t make any guarantees about the lithium stocks I think could be next in line.

But...

I do think we’re looking

at THE boom of 2026

And it’s just getting started, right now.

The market’s turning — but don’t just take my word for it...

Adam Webb is head of battery raw materials at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence — probably the most respected lithium research firm in the world.

In March, he came out and said:

I think we’ve more or less hit the bottom.

This is a guy who tracks global lithium production down to the last tonne.

So it’s fair to say he knows what he’s talking about.

Commonwealth Bank agrees.

In August, CBA’s lead mining and energy commodities strategist, Vivek Dhar, declared:

The worst of the lithium bear market has passed...we are past the lowest point in the lithium price cycle.

These guys aren’t stock promoters.

They’re analysts at major banks and commodity intelligence firms whose job it is to call market turns before anyone else.

And I think they’ve got it bang on.

But before I go any further...

Let me tell you why

I’m so confident about

what I’m seeing here

James Woodburn

Lachlann Tierney,
Australian Small-Cap
Investigator

My name is Lachlann Tierney.

I’m the new Chief Analyst at Australian Small-Cap Investigator, one of the country’s oldest and best small stock advisory services.

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of discovering a tiny stock that nobody’s talking about...

...and watching it multiply your money several times over.

And for almost 20 years, that’s exactly what Australian Small-Cap Investigator has been helping investors do.

Over the years, our service has led its members to some remarkable wins when these tiny stocks break out...

  • Like back in 2009 when we recommended LNG company Bow Energy. Members had the opportunity to bank a 458% gain in around six months...
  • In 2017, we tipped financial services company Zip Co...and gave our members the opportunity to pocket an 888% gain in three years...
  • Then there’s fintech company Afterpay, which we tipped in 2016 before it was famous. Members had the chance to bank a huge 1,448% gain when we issued our sell alert in 2020.

Now obviously, not every company we recommend via Australian Small-Cap Investigator goes up like these three did.

Small stocks are volatile by nature and highly price-sensitive.

That’s why it’s electrifying when you pick up wins like this — it feels like you’ve done it despite the odds.

But the market’s always

moving forwards

And I believe the opportunity emerging right now in the lithium sector could DWARF these returns.

Here’s why...

For the past three years, the lithium market has been in the toilet — due to massive Chinese oversupply.

Producers have been flooding the market with cheap lithium, driving prices into the ground.

That’s why mining stocks crashed so hard back in 2023.

But...

Just recently,
the market’s been

moving in the RIGHT
direction again

It seems the ‘oversupply’ issue is finally being tackled...

I heard rumblings out of China in July that lithium producer Zangge Mining had been forced to shut down its operations.

Regulators discovered the company’s mining licence was invalid.

...

Now, on its own, this closure isn’t massive.

We’re talking about 11,000 tonnes of production — which is just 1.3% of China’s total output.

But...it sent shockwaves through the commodity markets.

Because it signalled something investors had been waiting for...

Supply discipline was finally emerging.

Suddenly, authorities started cracking down across multiple Chinese provinces.

  • Jiangxi province, which accounts for about 10% of the world’s lithium production, launched audits of EIGHT major miners.

...

State regulators are now demanding new reserves reports...after finding some companies had inflated their deposits to get licences during the 2022 boom.

This is a MAJOR development for the sector.

And it sends a clear message:

The days of uncontrolled
lithium production
are over

As soon as the market got wind of this,  lithium prices started to move.

  • Between June and July this year, the price of spodumene concentrate — the type of lithium mined here in Australia — surged nearly 50%. From $575 per tonne to $850 per tonne in just a few weeks.

...

That’s when Australian lithium stocks started to wake up.

As I just showed you, Pilbara and Mineral Resources — the giants of our lithium sector — both jumped more than 65% in short order.

Liontown Resources climbed 45%.

And more miners are starting to twitch.

But remember what I said...

Despite these moves, at the time of writing, the vast majority of lithium stocks are still NOWHERE NEAR their previous highs.

Look at Pilbara, for example...

  • Back in October 2022, its stock was sitting at $5.66.
  • Today — even after its recent surge — it’s still trading around $2.28. That’s 60% below its peak.
  • Liontown peaked at just under $3 in September 2023.
  • At the time of writing, it’s sitting at around 87 cents.

So what we’re seeing isn’t a mania.

At least not yet.

And that gives YOU
the
perfect opportunity
to act

Yes, I understand if you have to swallow hard before jumping in — or BACK in — to lithium stocks.

But it feels to me like we’re in the sweet spot as far as market dynamics are concerned.

And there’s something else too...

Another big reason to move quickly on this.

See, there’s a MAJOR difference between this new, emerging lithium boom and the two that came before it.

The 2017 and 2022 booms were driven by temporary catalysts that were largely unexpected.

The demand drivers emerging today aren’t temporary.

They’re permanent.

They’re structural.

And they’re government-backed.

As you’re about to discover, lithium demand in 2025 is being driven by long-term technological and geopolitical transformations — and it’s only going to accelerate from here.

In a nutshell...

The boom-bust cycle in

lithium could be over

To be clear: yes, I DO think you’re looking at a third shot at riding a lithium stock boom in 2026...

But I don’t think we’ll see the usual crash back to bargain levels this time.

I’ll show you exactly why in the rest of this letter.

  • Just know that, if I’m right, the days of being able to pick up lithium stocks at fire-sale prices are numbered.

We’re at the beginning of what I’m calling ‘Lithium’s Final Run’...

Your last opportunity to get in before lithium graduates from speculative commodity to strategic necessity...

...and prices retail investors like you out forever.

Mark my words: after 2026, there won’t be lithium ‘stocks’ anymore.

There will just be lithium ‘companies’.

And the difference in price from where things are now will be astronomical.

Let me explain why...

The previous two lithium stock booms were driven by sudden, temporary disruptions.

Consider the first run up from 2016–2018...

During that boom, a cascade of government announcements sent shockwaves through the auto industry.

  • On July 6th 2017, France announced that it was banning petrol and diesel car sales by 2040...
  • The UK followed suit 20 days later, also outlawing petrol and diesel car sales by 2040...
  • Then China announced it was exploring similar measures...

All of this came like a bolt from the blue.

Suddenly, automakers faced an existential crisis: go electric or die.

Bear in mind that every electric vehicle battery needs around eight kilos of lithium.

So these announcements sent car firms scrambling to secure supplies, creating a buying frenzy.

The lithium price more than doubled during that first boom...

...

Producers kicked into high gear, bringing a ton of new mines online...

And they succeeded in flooding the market with more supply than it could handle!

The lithium price peaked in December 2017, before crashing by an eye-watering 78% to mid-2020.

That was boom
one — DONE

And it left investors who didn’t get out in time nursing some pretty nasty wounds.

  • Pilbara Minerals dropped 80% peak to trough...
  • Mineral Resources also fell by 80%...
  • And Liontown capitulated by 85%

Ouch...

The second lithium boom — in 2021–2022 — was sparked by the COVID recovery.

I’m sure you remember...it was an insane time.

Governments around the world started printing money like there was no tomorrow, pumping trillions into green recovery packages.

  • In April 2020, China extended its $230 billion electric vehicle subsidies plan by two years.
  • In July of the same year, the EU launched a €750 billion green stimulus program.
  • While in August 2021, the US passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, allocating US$7.5 billion to an America-wide network of EV charging stations.

Government intervention on a ginormous scale effectively ‘goosed’ demand for EVs...

JUST as commodity
supply chains
were
crippled by lockdowns!

And the effect on the lithium price was like pouring kerosene on a barbecue.

Lithium rocketed from around $6,000 per tonne to over $80,000 per tonne by early 2022...

...

And some stocks, as I mentioned earlier, exploded.

Lake Resources gained 2,859%...

...

Core Lithium soared 4,812%...

...

And Vulcan Energy went gangbusters — up an astonishing 10,158% in less than two years.

...

But then reality hit

Stimulus money dried up. Interest rates rose at a record pace. And EV growth slowed as the economy cooled.

Problem was, Chinese producers had AGAIN been flooding the market with new supply.

...

Partly because they’d ramped up production massively in the early part of the boom...

And partly because, again, they over-estimated demand projections from the EV sector — which was now falling.

Cue another steep decline.

By 2023, the lithium price had crashed 90% from its peak...

...

And once again, if you’d stuck around waiting for the market to turn, you got crushed.

So that was boom two.

And you’ll notice that both runs followed the same pattern:

Two temporary surges.

Two spectacular crashes.

If you timed your investment to perfection, you made a motza...

But if you stayed in too long, you handed all your gains back to the market.

That’s been the boom-bust story of lithium for the past decade.

Now, all this being said, you probably want to know...

Why is today
any different?

Well, what’s driving lithium demand — and stock prices — in 2025 isn’t a temporary shock to the system.

It’s a permanent transformation of how the world works.

It’s not JUST about EVs anymore...

That being said, they are a huge driver of lithium demand.

It’s just that this time around, that demand looks to have proper staying power.

Get this:

  • Sales of EVs in the first quarter of 2025 were a whopping 35% higher than over the same period in 2024.
  • In China, they’re now selling more than a million electric cars a month.
  • Paul Lusty — head of battery raw materials research at Fastmarkets — says 20 million EVs will be shifted in 2025.

I can’t stress enough

how big of a deal this is

It means that by the end of this year, one in four new cars sold globally will be electric.

Listen, I know we love our utes and V8s here in Australia...

...and we’ll drive them into the ground before we’ll give them up.

But this feels like a tipping point to me.

And it’s going to turbocharge lithium demand...

Demand that’s expected to grow more than FORTY times over by 2040 — according to the IEA. See here:

...

Let me put this into

perspective for you...

By 2040, all the lithium mined in 2024 will only meet ONE MONTH’S demand.

Think about that for a moment.

An entire year’s worth of global lithium production will last just 30 days in the world we’re barrelling towards.

This is not a sudden, temporary demand spike, like we saw in the last two lithium booms.

This is a structural transformation.

And it’s why I believe many lithium stocks...

...currently trading around their historical lows...

...could be priced out of your reach — by as soon as 2026.

But here’s the thing...

EVs are just the tip of the iceberg.

This 40x growth in lithium demand will be amplified by other technologies that barely existed during the previous two booms.

I’m talking about emerging trends like humanoid robots.

That’s right...

Remember when Tesla

was just about cars?

Well, Elon Musk’s latest project is a walking, talking autonomous robot named ‘Optimus’.

...

Source: Tesla

And Elon predicts his new creation will dwarf the EV revolution...

In his speech at the Future Investment Initiative in October 2024, Musk said:

I think by 2040, there will probably be more humanoid robots than there are people.

That’s eight billion robots.

In the next 15 years.

Even if he’s off by as much as 85%, we’re still talking about more than a billion robots roaming the planet in the next decade and a half!

Now obviously Elon has a vested interest in talking this market up.

But it’s not just him saying it...

  • Goldman Sachs projects 1.4 million units by 2035...

...

  • UBS forecasts 2 million humanoid robots by 2030, rising to 300 million by 2050...

...

This is no longer the stuff of Black Mirror-inspired fever dreams...

Robots are coming

And some of the world’s smartest bank analysts are already figuring out how to price the expected lithium demand in.

Let’s see if we can figure it out...

  • The ‘Optimus’ robot houses a 2.3 kWh battery pack requiring approximately 368 grams of lithium.
  • If we assume that’s an average battery size...the 2030 market ALONE would require 736,000 kilograms of lithium just for initial battery production.
  • Now, the current global lithium market is estimated at 1.2 million tonnes — based on 2024 production figures.
  • So if this trend continues, in 15 years’ time, it’s entirely conceivable that more than half of today’s lithium demand will be consumed by humanoid robots ALONE.

Let that sink in for a moment.

And unlike cars that sit idle for 22 hours a day, humanoid robots could operate almost continuously, creating sustained demand for battery replacements and upgrades.

See what I’m saying?

This isn’t your typical EV-fuelled lithium run.

This is something
entirely new

In 2025, lithium demand is coming from many different places.

Like the military...

Modern warfare is evolving in ways that  will impact the lithium market for DECADES to come.

How?

In one word: drones.

Right now, Ukraine’s fighting forces are reportedly going through an estimated 10,000 drones A MONTH.

We’re not talking about reconnaissance drones...or surgical strike ‘predator’ drones, controlled remotely by some military contractor in a Louisiana basement.

These are real-time battlefield assets.

Literally: unmanned, precision-guided aerial vehicles with bombs strapped to them.

...

Source: breakingdefense.com

They cost about $1,000 each.

And you can fit one in a backpack.

It’s mind-boggling, but the accessibility and affordability of modern drones is creating new military capabilities at a scale that previously didn’t exist.

The latest tactic is to ‘swarm’ enemy positions with hundreds of these tactical ‘micro drones’ at a time.

Which explains why the Ukrainian army is burning through so many every month!

Brett Velicovich, a former US Army intelligence and special operations soldier, says:

It’s changing how countries are going to fight wars in the future...we will never fight another war without drones.

How does this relate to what I’m talking about today?

Well, lots of military drones need lots of batteries. And lots of batteries need — you guessed it...

Lots of lithium

How much?

Well, the global drone battery market is worth about $9.5 billion in 2025.

And according to Precedence Research, it’s projected to grow at an 18.2% compound annual growth rate...

Reaching an astonishing $42.3 billion by 2033.

...

This is a HUGE forecast...but I’m willing to bet it’s one of the most dependable in this entire letter.

Why?

Because military procurement tends NOT to be sensitive to economic cycles.

In other words, when governments decide they need drones for national security...

Price becomes

a secondary issue

Listen, we live in a tense world. It’s not all sunshine and flowers out there.

There’s no question military acquisition of drone technology is accelerating.

And it’s creating government-backed demand for lithium that’s not going away.

That will go straight to the bottom line of the miners who can supply it.

Oh, and by the way, this is just the military market.

We haven’t even talked about commercial applications of drone technology!

That’s an entirely separate market segment that’s ALSO going to get bigger and bigger over the coming years.

There’s so much going on right now. Which is precisely why I’ve put together an urgent report I need to get into your hands.

It’s called: ‘Lithium’s Final Run: Three companies to own before cheap lithium stocks disappear forever’.

And it contains the details of three-high potential ASX-listed lithium mining stocks that, as I record this, are still trading around their lows.

These are about the
strongest
buys I could
recommend
right now –
in ANY sector

Like I said — we’re in that perfect sweet spot as far as lithium market dynamics are concerned.

Some of the better known stocks have broken out over the last few weeks. But the wider market isn’t really showing an interest...

Yet.

That’s because most mainstream financial advisers, analysts, journalists and fund managers are so far behind the 8-ball on this it’s laughable.

But it could be great for you...

None of the three stocks in my report have made a significant move at the time of writing.

But I do feel it’s only a matter of time.

Like I keep saying: I believe this is lithium’s FINAL run.

Keep in your mind...

  • This could be your last opportunity to buy world-class lithium stocks at these beaten down prices.

If you want the opportunity to do that — keep reading, and in a moment I’ll show you how to get your copy of my new report.

But first, we have to talk about what is likely to be one of the biggest demand drivers for lithium over the next 10 years...

Artificial intelligence.

Here’s something that

will blow your mind

During the 2017 lithium boom, ChatGPT didn’t exist.

During the 2022 boom, it had only just launched.

At the beginning of the third and likely FINAL boom, we’re talking about entirely new lithium demand that just wasn’t part of either previous cycle.

Just look what’s happening right now...

  • Microsoft is spending $80 billion on AI data centres in 2025...
  • Google is investing $75 billion...
  • Meta is spending between $60 and $65 billion...while...
  • Amazon is dropping more than $100 billion on new data centres.

Combined, these four tech giants are spending $320 billion on AI infrastructure in 2025 alone.

$320 billion in one year!

Why does this matter for lithium?

It matters because every single one of these new AI data centres will require massive battery backup systems.

The energy demand of these operations is colossal...

...

Source: datacenterfrontier.com

AI servers consume up to 120kW per rack. That’s ten times more than traditional computing.

And by 2035, BloombergNEF projects US data centres will account for 8.6% of ALL American electricity demand — more than double today’s 3.5%.

...

When you’re running that much power, you need serious backup.

And that will require...

SERIOUS quantities
of lithium

  • The global data centre lithium battery market hit almost $6 billion in 2025.
  • It’s projected to reach $16 billion by 2033.
  • That amounts to 165% lithium demand growth in the next seven years.

We’re not speculating here...

We can see the infrastructure being built RIGHT NOW to power the AI revolution.

And unlike the temporary government stimulus that drove previous lithium booms, this is private capital...

$320 billion worth in 2025 alone...betting their companies’ futures on AI infrastructure.

If you’re starting to see
the massive investment
opportunity forming
here,
you’re not alone

I’ve been tracking this market for months...

And I’ve identified three tiny Australian lithium stocks that are perfectly positioned to ride this wave.

They aren’t household names.

They’re not the stocks everyone’s talking about.

Yet.

The big names every investor knows — Pilbara Minerals, Liontown and Mineral Resources — all popped 45%-plus in the last three months.

And the lithium price just surged 50% in ONE MONTH!

We can see the market

starting to move

All of this tells me that the window for getting into this new lithium boom at basement prices is closing fast.

Once my three target companies start moving — and I believe they will — you could be priced out of the action very quickly.

That’s exactly what happened during the previous booms, remember: one day stocks were cheap, the next day they were unaffordable.

If you want the chance to get ahead of this, I can help.

I’ve put all my research on these three stocks into a new report that gives you:

  • Their names and ticker symbols...
  • What price to pay...
  • A full risk/benefit analysis, market projections — the works.

It’s called: ‘Lithium’s Final Run: Three companies to own before cheap lithium stocks disappear forever’.

And you’ll discover how to get your hands on a copy in just a moment.

But first, there’s one more permanent lithium demand driver I need to tell you about...

And it might be the
most significant of all

So — I don’t know if you saw this...but in August, the Australian government took a $50 million equity stake in Liontown Resources — through the National Reconstruction Fund.

...

Liontown is the fifth biggest lithium miner in the country.

And a significant supplier to major companies like Ford, LG and Tesla.

That’s right.

The Australian federal government used public money to buy a significant stake...in a mining company.

Why?

Because in 2025, lithium isn’t just another ‘commodity’...

It’s a strategic, national resource.

Australia, to the government’s credit, has suddenly recognised this.

And it’s not the only country getting involved in the sector...

  • In January, US President Trump signed two executive orders that identified the lack of lithium — among other critical minerals — as a ‘growing threat to US prosperity and national security’.

The US government has been intensifying its efforts to build a $1.2 billion critical minerals stockpile. Lithium is a key component of that.

  • Then, in May 2024, the EU passed the Critical Raw Materials Act...as a strategic response to what they call ‘material supply risks’.

The elephant in the

room here is China

China currently controls an estimated 60-70% of global lithium supply.

Because of the strategic importance of advanced military tech and AI to the West’s long-term dominance...

...they simply cannot allow a major adversary to control their access to a critical mineral like lithium.

This is why Western governments are scrambling like squirrels before winter to lock up supplies outside of China.

Now, what strategic stockpiling does is create an artificial floor under the price.

This is great for investors like you and me...

But governments don’t really care about the effects on markets.

When they’re buying, the old rules of supply and demand get thrown out the window.

This is just another
reason
why I believe
we’re looking
at
lithium’s ‘final run’

Remember, the two previous booms were driven by single catalysts that eventually fizzled out.

The market responded by falling like a piano from a skyscraper.

But this time, we have multiple permanent drivers all hitting simultaneously.

We’ve got...

  • 40x demand growth from EVs and grid storage... Remember, by 2040, all the lithium mined in 2024 will meet just ONE MONTH’S demand. Then there’s...
  • Humanoid robots creating entirely new demand categories: Elon’s eight billion robot vision could consume HALF of today’s entire lithium market by 2045. Then we have...
  • Military procurement driven by geopolitical tensions: The drone battery market is set to explode from $9.5 billion to $42.3 billion by 2033. On top of this we have...
  • AI infrastructure requiring massive battery backup: ‘Mag 7’ US tech companies are spending $320 billion in 2025 ALONE, with data centre lithium demand tripling to $16 billion by 2033. And finally we’ve got...
  • Governments worldwide stockpiling lithium for strategic security: The US is building a $1.2 billion critical minerals stockpile to safeguard against China’s stranglehold on the global lithium supply...

All of these trends are just getting established.

And none of them are going away.

And that means

prices HAVE to rise

And guess what?

  • They’re at historically low levels as I speak.

BUT...I can’t see them staying down much longer.

And I’m convinced they’ll never be back at these bargain levels again.

By the end of 2026, I’m pretty sure lithium won’t be a speculative commodity anymore.

It will be strategic infrastructure.

And strategic infrastructure doesn’t trade at speculative prices.

It trades at infrastructure prices.

That’s the difference between owning lithium stocks and owning lithium companies.

I’ve shown you that the transition is already underway...

The question is: do you want to get positioned for it...while these stocks are still priced like speculative plays?

You’ve just learned about:

  • The massive opportunity that’s building...
  • The permanent demand drivers...
  • The expert consensus that the market bottom is in...
  • And the mathematics of rising prices from here that seem inevitable.

But you know the thing about opportunities...

They mean nothing

without action

Thing is, in order to take action, you need to know exactly WHICH stocks to buy...

WHEN to buy them...

And WHAT price to pay for them.

That’s where most retail investors get it wrong. Especially in a boom.

They see prices shooting up...get excited...develop ‘FOMO’...

...then pile into the wrong stocks at the wrong time...and then wonder why they didn’t make any money.

I don’t want that to happen to you.

I want to help you get into the best prospects in the lithium sector...at the best time...with the best chance of a fantastic outcome.

Truthfully, my interest in this market never went away, even after the last crash.

I always knew lithium stocks would come roaring back at some stage.

And since these new demand drivers started forming, I’ve spent literally hundreds of hours analysing dozens of companies...

...looking for the best opportunities for investors to buy into this lithium renaissance.

I’ve narrowed it
down
to three stocks

They’re not the big names everyone’s talking about.

I’m not going to tell you to buy Pilbara or Liontown or Mineral Resources...stocks that have already moved up more than 45% and captured mainstream attention.

The stocks I want to tell you about in my new report are under-the-radar opportunities that — in my view — have the best chance at delivering the kind of monster gains we saw in the previous two booms.

Now that’s a huge claim, I know. And obviously I can’t guarantee these stocks will fly up.

But to me these look like the best prospects on the market right now.

The first is a company I call:

1. The Nevada Lithium
Giant in Waiting

This Aussie company controls one of North America’s most significant lithium deposits.

We’re talking about a project with a staggering 95-year mine life — so maybe this is a stock you can pass down to your kids...or grandkids!

What makes this 12-cent, ASX-listed stock even more compelling is the backing they’ve secured...

They just got awarded a $996 million loan from the US Department of Energy.

Yes, almost a billion dollars in US government support...confirming this project’s strategic importance.

The mine location couldn’t be better — Nevada’s mining-friendly jurisdiction with established infrastructure.

And with the US desperate to secure lithium supply outside of Chinese control, this company is also perfectly positioned to take advantage of that fourth ‘demand driver’ I told you about a moment ago.

You’ll find all the details inside my report: ‘Lithium's Final Run: Three companies to own before cheap lithium stocks disappear forever’.

The second stock in there is a company I’m calling:

2. The African
Lithium Pioneer

We’ve talked a lot about Australia’s rich lithium resources.

But the next stock in my report is pioneering production in a different and completely overlooked region: Africa.

Specifically, this Aussie company is developing what will become Ghana’s first lithium mine.

I am SO excited about this ground-floor play.

For starters, the resource is not JUST high-grade — it’s easily recoverable with simple processing.

But the real ‘wow factor’ here is the mine’s location...

This project sits close to a deep-water port, national highway and power grid.

That dramatically lowers development costs compared to remote operations.

Now, yes, we’re talking about Ghana. But there are two important points to make.

  • This is an Australian mining company listed on our home exchange, the ASX. And...
  • Africa is rapidly becoming essential as Western governments scramble for lithium supplies that exist outside of Chinese influence.

This Aussie company has first-mover advantage in a region China hasn’t fully penetrated.

And that’s why this 16-cent belter makes the cut into my top three lithium prospects.

The third and final stock in my briefing is sitting on...

3. A True Australian
‘Monster Cache’

This one’s hiding in plain sight.

Right here in Australia, this company controls what’s being called the largest and highest-confidence undeveloped lithium resource in the country.

Located in the Pilbara region...

...the same area that made Pilbara Minerals investors serious gains...

...it offers major strategic advantages:

  • It’s been granted mining leases...
  • Has proximity to port access...and...
  • Has established infrastructure connections.

Again, the lithium resource here is reportedly massive.

What’s more, it sits near the surface, making it amenable to low-cost open-pit mining.

When this project moves into production, I expect it will become a major supplier to the battery market.

A market, remember, that’s set to grow 40 TIMES over between now and 2040.

That’s why now is the perfect time to grab this 19-cent stock.

You’ll find out exactly how to do that in my report: ‘Lithium's Final Run: Three companies to own before cheap lithium stocks disappear forever’.

Everything you need
to know
about these
three stocks
is inside
my new report

Including...

  • Names and stock ticker symbols...
  • Complete company profiles: their projects, management, financials, and competitive advantages...
  • Risk/reward analysis: my honest assessment of what could go right...and what could go wrong...
  • Timeline projections: when I expect major catalysts...
  • My precise buy recommendations: the specific price I recommend paying for each stock (‘overpaying’ is what crushed many investors in the last two booms!).

Listen, I want you to benefit big time in 2026...from what I think will be lithium’s final run.

So I’ve gone to town on this report.

It covers every angle you need to make an informed investment decision...

...the kind of analysis that typically costs thousands of dollars from boutique research firms.

(Only I’m ahead of most of them with this call — as far as I know!)

The stocks are cheap — well, they are at the time of writing. None of them have broken out like some of the bigger names...yet.

But each of them has — in my considered view — the potential to achieve the kinds of gains in 2026 that we saw in those previous two lithium booms.

To remind you of what

happened back then...

  • Galaxy Resources jumped up over 2,900% in three years between 2015 and 2018...
  • Core Lithium went up more than 4,800% between January 2020 and November 2022...
  • While Vulcan Energy made a monster 10,158% move between January 2020 and September 2021.

Now of course, these were outliers...and you shouldn’t rely on past performance as a guide to future results.

If we know one thing about small-cap lithium stocks, it’s that they’re risky speculations.

They can fly high when the market’s with them...

...but my goodness, they can crash hard and fast when the market turns.

This is why — if you want the best chance of success in this emerging boom — you need professional guidance...market insight...and company analysis.

I’ve put all that to work for you and identified three stocks that I believe absolutely could repeat the success we saw in previous booms.

But with one crucial advantage...

  • These stocks are positioned for lithium’s final run. A boom defined not by temporary spikes...but by permanent demand growth.

If you want in at these sub 20-cent prices, you’ll need to move fast.

Download ‘Lithium’s Final Run’ today...and you’ll have everything you need to position yourself in three of the most promising stocks on the Australian market...

...ahead of what I believe will be the biggest boom of 2026...and the FINAL speculative lithium stock run of our lifetime.

Best of all, you can access ‘Lithium’s Final Run’ today at a small cost of just $49.

Why am I making you

this generous offer?

It’s my way of introducing you to Australian Small-Cap Investigator, my monthly newsletter dedicated to finding the most promising small companies listed on the Australian market.

Your purchase today gives you three months’ access to my letter.

Since 2005, the mission of Australian Small-Cap Investigator has been to alert our members to tiny companies that are:

  • Developing breakthrough technologies...
  • Sitting on major resource deposits that haven’t been dug up yet...
  • Solving problems that could transform entire industries....
  • Worth under $2.5 billion and most often selling for a few cents a share.

We don’t bother with the same 20 blue-chip stocks that seemingly every financial adviser wants to herd you into.

The stocks you’ll learn about in Australian Small-Cap Investigator are not household names.

Most people couldn’t tell you what they do.

The mainstream financial media rarely covers them.

And most institutional analysts ignore them completely.

But for clued-in retail investors, they have two powerful advantages that the blue-chips don’t.

First...

Small-caps can
move FAST

Because these stocks are so small, it doesn’t take much to move their price — as we’ve seen with some of the lithium stocks recently.

A bit of good news...a promising deal...strong results...or a new discovery can send shares soaring quickly.

Let me show you what I mean.

...

These were the top 10 movers on the entire Australian stock exchange over just one trading day — Friday, August 15th 2025.

They are ALL small-cap companies.

Check it out...

  • BPH Energy was up 33%...
  • Lithium Universe jumped 50%...
  • And Kaili Resources shot up 500% in a single day. FIVE HUNDRED PERCENT!

Now, compare that to the ASX 200 — the index of Australia’s biggest, most established companies.

...

Over the FULL YEAR to August 13th, the ASX 200 returned 13.9%.

Some of these tiny
companies delivered

gains three times bigger
than that...in a single
trading DAY

Now that’s not to say all small-caps do this.

Many stocks like these went the other way... Remember, these are tiny, hyper-sensitive stocks.

But that potential for fast gains is the biggest draw of small-cap investing.

With these shares, the idea is: you get in...ride them...and then get out — with a view to taking a pile of cash with you.

It’s as fast and thrilling as the turn of a card...or backing a horse that leads the field with the finishing line in sight.

That’s what I love about these stocks, and it’s why I’ve spent my career covering them.

They give ordinary Australians — people who don’t have millions to invest — a genuine shot at the kind of returns that can meaningfully change their financial situation, sometimes in a matter of months.

Let me give you
an example...

Back in May 2023, we recommended a virtually unknown data analytics company called Nuix.

This was just before Nuix launched Nuix Neo — its new AI platform.

We recommended the stock while most of the market was looking the other way.

Members who followed our recommendation had the opportunity to make a nice, fat 658% gain in under 18 months.

...

Like I said, when stocks are this small and hardly anybody knows about them, the smallest bit of good news can send shares soaring quickly.

This lack of attention creates the SECOND big advantage for small-caps — something I call...

‘Informational Asymmetry’

This is probably your biggest weapon as a small-cap investor.

Informational asymmetry happens when the market doesn’t know everything about a company — because it’s not getting coverage from analysts or the media.

These knowledge gaps can create golden opportunities for investors who do their homework.

See here — this is a chart of tiny defence tech company DroneShield...

...

We recommended this stock to members in February 2024 when it was selling for just 70 cents a share.

At the time, this was one of the most exciting stories on the market. And our research pointed to...

A huge expansion
in revenue

Sure enough, DroneShield sealed several deals and blasted off towards a $2 billion valuation at the time.

It didn’t take much buying volume to double the share price — as you can see on the chart.

Members who sold their shares just six months later had the opportunity to bank a 133% gain.

Anthony, one of our members, wrote:

I have bought some of your recommendations and done well, thank you. Especially DroneShield. I got my outlay back and still hold more than half so thanks heaps.

The same thing happened with a stock called Nanosonics — which we added to our buy list in June 2024.

Back then, few investors would have even known about this tiny Sydney-based medical equipment firm.

But we did

We knew that Nanosonics was growing revenues, had cash in the bank, and was set to announce strong growth.

We positioned our members for this announcement.

And sure enough, in February this year, those trading results came out...and were every bit as strong as we were expecting...

The share price gapped up 30% in just four trading sessions — look at it!

...

Now obviously, not every stock we recommend does this.

And not always this quickly.

But overall, I have to say our performance is looking pretty healthy...

  • At the time of writing, the average position of all the live recommendations at Australian Small-Cap Investigator is a 66% GAIN.

That includes winning AND losing stocks.

It’s performances like this that prompted Wayne, one of our long-time members, to write in and tell us:

Extremely happy with your service... I did pretty good with DroneShield, 500% plus. Currently holding Nuix +432% and rising. I have had many others that have done very well. I can highly recommend this to you.

Now look, I can’t give you any guarantees about the future.

Of course, in a portfolio like ours, an average return will include losing positions too. You’d expect that from these riskier small-cap stocks.

But my goodness, if you have the stomach for this kind of investing, I think there could be even more profitable times ahead.

The three lithium plays in my new report are another perfect example of ‘informational asymmetry’...

  • Most investors have NO IDEA that certain big-name mining experts believe we’ve hit the bottom of the lithium market...
  • They haven’t connected the dots between humanoid robots and lithium demand...
  • And they don’t even know about the Chinese supply crackdowns...

But YOU do.

And in a few minutes from now, you’ll have the full picture when my research notes and stock recommendations are in front of you.

So, how can you

get started today?

Well, you see this button right here?

Click it.

Fill out the short form on the next page.

The first thing you’re going to get is a digital download of my report: ‘Lithium’s Final Run’.

Tear into it...and if my research makes sense to you...you can put your buy orders in as soon as you like.

You can access the report today for just $49.

It’s a ridiculous offer, frankly.

Think about what could happen if just ONE of these three stocks does what I expect it to do.

That $49 will seem like nothing to you.

Why so cheap?

Because, like I say, it’s my way of introducing you to Australian Small-Cap investigator, my monthly advisory service.

Listen, the reason everyday investors underperform the market is because the investment industry puts you on a treadmill to nowhere.

Small-caps are the exact opposite.

In my view, they’re the last remaining way for the ‘little guy’ to beat the market in Australia.

I think I’ve shown you today how that’s possible, and how it could be possible for you.

Not with every stock
you buy...
or with every
dollar you have

But with a small, targeted portfolio of these tiny, high-potential companies that hardly anyone else knows about.

  • That’s why your purchase today includes a three-month membership to my newsletter.

Join today and you’ll get instant access to my current buy list — meaning you can take a position in any stocks that are currently under their buy limit.

And to remind you, at the time of writing, the average result across all our open positions — winners AND losers — is an impressive 66% GAIN.

As Paul S, one of our members, writes:

The service is fantastic, and I recommend it 100%. I’ve made money on TUA, SPR, and NXL.

Going forward, you’ll get at least one new small-cap recommendation every month — stocks with the exact same potential as the three lithium plays I’ve just told you about.

With each new recommendation, I’ll tell you exactly what the company does, why I believe it’s positioned for growth, and what price to pay.

You’ll get my analysis of the company financials...the management team...the market conditions...and my assessment of both the risks and the potential rewards...

...all so you can make an informed decision about what to do with your money.

Moss says our service is:

Probably the best advice around when it comes to investing in small-caps.

While Wel G writes:

I call [these] trades “money in the bank” because of the high probability that most recommendations will appreciate and often quickly.

Now of course, I can’t promise you a profit every time...

Sometimes we have to sell in order to stop a small loss from turning into a bigger one.

But I monitor each stock the entire time the position is open. And I’ll email you the moment something happens that changes my recommendation.

Between monthly issues, you’ll also be getting weekly email updates on all our open positions...

...along with details of the targets I’m tracking, and my market outlook for the short and long term.

So, what happens

after three months?

Well, if you like the ideas and research you get from Australian Small-Cap Investigator, and you want to keep receiving it, you don’t need to do a thing.

The newsletter will continue to arrive in your inbox each month.

After three months, your card will be charged another $49 for the NEXT three months — and so on.

The official price for a one-year subscription is $299, so you’re saving more than $100 over the next 12 months with this offer.

But if you decide my newsletter isn’t for you, no dramas.

Just let me know in the next 90 days and I’ll cancel your subscription and give you a full refund of the money you pay today.

That’s right. You’ll get it all back.

No hassles. No hard feelings. And no questions asked.

  • Best of all, my new lithium stock report is yours to keep no matter what you decide.

So basically...

You don’t have to risk a
lot
to find out if small-
cap
investing is for you

Look, I know this type of investing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

These stocks can be volatile.

They don’t always work out.

And they’re certainly not where you should put your retirement fund, next month’s mortgage payment or your last $500.

But...if you can handle the extra risk on a portion of your investing capital...

...and you’re tired of seeing the same mediocre returns as everyone else...

...this could be EXACTLY what you’re looking for.

...

Many people don’t realise that you only need one or two small-cap stocks to take off to make a significant impact to your trading account...

Like Peter M, one of our members, who says:

Tuas is at an unrealised profit of over 300% after 19 months. Nuix shows an unrealised profit of 240% after only 7 months. The other two are also well in the money. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in joining the service.

Listen, at the very least, I urge you to grab my report so that you don’t miss out on what could be your final big opportunity in the lithium market.

The window for retail investors like you is closing fast...

Remember, since June this year, Pilbara and Mineral Resources have both shot up in just a few short weeks!

The market is
waking up...

But my top three companies are still trading near their lows...

They’re still available at bargain basement prices...

For now.

Once they move, I can’t see them EVER coming back down this low again...

Why?

Because the demand drivers for lithium in 2025 are totally different to what we’ve seen before.

If that makes sense to you...

If you’ve nodded along as I’ve talked you through everything today...

PLEASE don’t sit back and think, ‘I’ll do this later.’ Because you KNOW nothing happens when you say that.

The only way to create wealth is through action. And the time for action is RIGHT NOW...

...while these stocks are still priced like the market doesn’t understand what’s coming...

...and while lithium’s final run is just beginning.

...

All you’ll pay today is $49.

You’re covered by my 90-day money-back guarantee.

And you get to keep everything — even if you decide my service isn’t for you.

I simply can’t make this any easier...

I’ve done the research...

I’ve identified the stocks...

All YOU have to do is click the button below.

Thanks for reading and I’ll see you inside!

Sincerely,
