Trasncript:

While everyone was buzzing about Bitcoin and EV stocks, solar stocks over the past five years have really turned heads and made serious gains for investors. After getting hit hard by Covid-19 and supply chain issues, they have become some of the really big success stories in the market. Based on most of them beating recent earnings estimates, this sector may continue to shine.

According to a recent article on Tipranks.com “Steve Cohen, the billionaire Chairman and CEO of global asset management firm Point72, built his fortune using a high-risk/high-reward strategy and he evidently thinks the solar industry is a place to be right now. He recently loaded up on two names operating in the sector, Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ: RUN) and SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEDG)

Moving forward for Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ: RUN) looking at data from Tipranks.com-““Based on 10 Wall Street analysts offering 12 month price targets in the last 3 months, the average price target is $40.70 with a high forecast of $65.00 and a low forecast of $31.00. The average price target represents a 71.88% change from the last price of $23.68.”

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEDG) 5 year price total return is 543.3% according to Finbox.

Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), according to a recent article in Benzinga, has outperformed the market over the past 5 years by 119.59% on an annualized basis producing an average annual return of 127.75%.

“If an investor had bought $100 of ENPH stock 5 years ago, it would be worth $6,349.24 February 27, 2023 based on a price of $210.16.”

According to Tip Ranks, “Based on 20 Wall Street analysts offering 12 month price targets for Enphase Energy in the last 3 months, the average price target is $303.74 with a high forecast of $365.00 and a low forecast of $250.00. The average price target represents a 43.57% change from the last price of $211.56.”

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) recently reported earnings and said in their release, “We finished 2022 with a record contracted backlog, a significant pipeline of bookings opportunities, and a strong balance sheet placing us in a position to respond to emerging opportunities,” said Mark Widmar, CEO of First Solar. “This momentum is driven by our points of differentiation, including our unique CdTe technology, vertically integrated manufacturing process, domestic production, and commitment to Responsible Solar. We enter this year in a significantly stronger commercial, operational, and financial position, with increased R&D investment, new domestic and international capacity coming online, and a new Series 7 product.”

A new solar stock was listed yesterday on the CSE; SolarBank Corporation (CSE: SUNN). The IPO traded between $1.75 and $2.00 on its opening day, closing yesterday March 2nd a $1.90.

SolarBank is an independent renewable and clean energy project developer focusing on distributed and community solar projects in Canada and the USA. The Company develops solar projects that sell electricity to utilities, commercial, industrial, municipal and residential off-takers. The Company maximizes returns via a diverse portfolio of projects across multiple leading solar markets including projects with utilities, host off-takers, community solar, and virtual net metering projects.

Looking at the past five years solar stocks remind me of the movie, “While You Were Sleeping”, with Sandra Bullock. Her character Lucy is in obsessed and in love with a comatose patient, waiting for him to wake up and meanwhile brother, the guy meant to be for her, is right in front of her the whole time.

Sometimes as investors we are like Lucy, waiting for our stocks to wake up and recover, while there is something in front of us even better.

Maybe investors need to fall in love with solar stocks all over again.

Thanks, that’s it for today. Do something good for this beautiful planet each and every day.

#GreenMetals #Stock News - Defense Metals (TSX-V: $DEFN.V) (OTCQB: $DFMTF) Announces Favourable Comminution Data for the Wicheeda Deposit; @defensemetals

Vancouver, British Columbia – March 1, 2023- Investorideas.com Newswire-Mining/Metals/ Green Energy Stock news- Defense Metals Corp. (“Defense Metals” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:DEFN / OTCQB:DFMTF/ 35D: FSE) is pleased to report favourable comminution results on multiple samples extracted from the Wicheeda deposit. The data allows the design of the crushing and grinding plant that will be an integral part of the planned Wicheeda development. These data are essential inputs to the upcoming pre-feasibility study (PFS).

Read this news, featuring DEFN in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2023/mining/03011DEFN-Comminution-Data-for-Wicheeda.asp

Comminution, i.e., crushing and grinding, will be the first step in the processing of material mined from the Wicheeda deposit. In the process, coarse, as-mined, rocks are reduced in size to sand-like particles, typically less than 1 mm in size, and suitable for upgrading by flotation or other means. Comminution usually accounts for a significant percentage of the energy demand, production cost and carbon footprint of a mineral processing plant.

John Goode, Metallurgy Advisor, stated: “Comminution tests on seventeen variability samples and a Master Composite show that the ore is soft, amenable to conventional grinding operations and has a low abrasion index. The recent results confirm, and expand on data obtained from a 30 t bulk sample taken in 2019. The data show that a conventional semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill-ball mill circuit will work well and that grinding energy and supply costs will be relatively low.”

Key Highlights:

Ø The Wicheeda variability samples and Master Composite were studied using the industry-standard SMC test to determine amenability to, and sizing design parameters for, SAG processing. The A x b value averaged 97 and the SAG Circuit Specific Energy (SCSE) averaged 7 kWh/t indicating a very soft ore.

Ø The Bond rod mill work index test was applied to the Master Composite and returned a value of 10 kWh/t – which again indicates a very soft feed material.

Ø The Bond ball mill work index test was applied to all samples and resulted in an average of 10 kWh/t using a 65-mesh closing screen. This again indicates a very soft feed material.

Ø A standard Bond abrasion test was performed on the Master Composite and returned a value of 0.059 g meaning a very low consumption of grinding balls and mill liners is anticipated.

Ø The Bond ball mill work index and abrasion index data for these new samples are very similar to the values obtained on the 2019 bulk sample taken from the Wicheeda deposit giving additional confidence in the new data. Comminution data for the 2019 bulk sample were used during preparation of the 2021 Independent Preliminary Economic Assessment¹.

Methodology

Seventeen variability samples and a Master Composite were made from drill core taken from the Wicheeda deposit. The variability samples covered different lithologies, depths, areas and grades of the deposit. The Master Composite had a mass of 260 kg and included all lithologies in the approximate ratios of their mass in the deposit.

SGS Lakefield performed all of the comminution tests. The SMC testing protocol is an industry-standard method of evaluating the amenability of material to grinding in a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill. The Bond rod and ball mill indices and abrasion index are also industry-standard tests performed on crushed ore and are essential to the accurate sizing of a grinding circuit.

The comminution data will be used, along with other information, during the upcoming pre-feasibility study (PFS) to design the comminution circuit for the Wicheeda project.

PDAC Convention, Toronto, March 5 - 8, 2023

The Company is also pleased to announce that it will be attending this year’s Prospector’s and Developer’s Annual Convention (PDAC) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from Sunday, March 5 to Wednesday, March 8, 2023.

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release, as it relates to the Wicheeda Rare-Earth Project, has been reviewed and approved by John Goode, P. Eng., who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and who has provided the technical information relating to metallurgy in this news release.

About the Wicheeda REE Property

Defense Metals 100% owned, 4,262-hectare (~10,532-acre) Wicheeda REE property is located approximately 80 km northeast of the city of Prince George, British Columbia; population 77,000. The Wicheeda REE Project is readily accessible by all-weather gravel roads and is near infrastructure, including hydro power transmission lines and gas pipelines. The nearby Canadian National Railway and major highways allow easy access to the port facilities at Prince Rupert, the closest major North American port to Asia.

The 2021 Wicheeda REE Project Preliminary Economic Assessment technical report (“PEA”) outlined a robust after-tax net present value (NPV@8%) of $517 million and an 18% IRR[1]. This PEA contemplated an open pit mining operation with a 1.75:1 (waste:mill feed) strip ratio providing a 1.8 Mtpa (“million tonnes per year”) mill throughput producing an average of 25,423 tonnes REO annually over a 16 year mine life. A Phase 1 initial pit strip ratio of 0.63:1 (waste:mill feed) would yield rapid access to higher grade surface mineralization in year 1 and payback of $440 million initial capital within 5 years.
