We saw this in 2012 and have a proven record of calling out stock promotions in these sectors, namely Liquidmetal Technologies (OTCBB: LQMT) and US Antimony (AMEX: UAMY). We see extreme parallels between these promoted failures and American Battery Metals Corp (OTCBB: ABML) and Comstock Mining Inc.(NYSEAmex: LODE). These companies appear to have hitched their wagon to investor enthusiasm for electric vehicle battery recycling, and their prospective plant’s proximity to Tesla and its Gigafactory in Nevada . We recommend investors exercise extreme caution at these extended valuations and urge shareholders to closely examine why we believe companies are Strong Sells. — Ben Axler, CIO Spruce Point",
