Summary

In this episode of Rich Dad Radio, host Robert Kiyosaki takes you on an exciting journey to the Northwest Territories of Canada, where he explores the future of lithium mining with geologist Francis McDonald. As lithium becomes essential to the global push for electric vehicles and energy storage, this episode sheds light on the immense potential of lithium mining in Canada, particularly near Yellowknife.

Lithium: The Future of Energy

Robert Kiyosaki and Francis McDonald dive into why lithium is becoming an irreplaceable metal in the modern world, playing a crucial role in battery technology. Despite lithium being abundant, Kiyosaki emphasizes the challenge of getting lithium where it’s needed at the right time. This conversation highlights how lithium will shape the future of energy, from electric vehicles to sustainable storage solutions.

The Northwest Territories: A New Mining Frontier

Francis McDonald gives a detailed geological overview of the rich lithium reserves found in the Northwest Territories. This region, once known for its gold and diamond mines, is on the brink of a new economic boom driven by lithium. The episode explores how this untapped resource can revitalize the local economy as existing mines phase out.

Economic and Environmental Impact

The discovery of significant lithium deposits is poised to transform the area into a critical hub for the electric vehicle and battery industries. With accessible infrastructure in place, mining in Yellowknife could become a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution. Robert and Francis also discuss the importance of sustainable mining practices and how this project can benefit local communities.

Why Lithium Matters Now More Than Ever

Lithium remains a key component in battery chemistry, and its strategic importance has been reinforced by recent government policies like the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act. This episode underscores the irreplaceable role of lithium in the future of clean energy and why its development is crucial for economic growth and energy security.

This is not financial advice.

You may be asking, “what does that mean?”

Let me explain…

Do not just do what I, my team, or my guest says. That would be stupid and irresponsible. Take the education, then use your own brain and make your own decisions.

YOU must take responsibility for your future and your success. That is why you are here. Neither I, or my team, or my guests, know your risk levels, prior education, emotional maturity, or how much money you can afford to lose.

We are only telling you what we believe to be smart moves. But you must decide for yourself. There are NEVER guarantees.

Also understand that we are REAL teachers. We practice what we preach. With that in mind we often invest in the very projects that may be mentioned on this show. While it is never our intent, we could possibly profit from others investing in our recommendations.

Take the education we provide but then determine your own actions. If it does not make sense to you, get more education before you invest. We will continue to provide education and there will always be more opportunities.

Probably the best known for the book Rich Dad Poor Dad and if I anybody was followed

0:14.6

my work knows I'm an advocate of real money and I'm very excited to be up here in Northwest Territories near Yellowknife, interviewing Francis McDonald, and we're here looking

0:27.9

at real money. What am I looking at here, France?

0:31.9

Well, so we are up here looking at lithium,

0:35.0

and the piece of rock you have on your legs,

0:38.0

so there's some green crystals in that,

0:40.0

and that is full of lithium.

0:42.0

And so it's probably about 10 of those rocks is enough

0:45.3

lithium for an electric car or a Tesla battery. And we save the environment with

0:50.2

batteries and things like that? Well that's the thing so electric vehicles are being adopted all over the world.

0:56.6

I think China has about 48% adoption right now and a lot of governments have mandated that we're going towards electric vehicles.

1:04.7

This is the future and this is really how we're going to power that future.

1:07.9

Right, and more than that I'm the money guy.

1:11.4

This here, what I say to people, there's gold, silver,

1:15.3

Bitcoin, lithium.

1:17.0

That's right.

1:17.7

This is the money of the future right now.

1:20.2

So how about your background?

1:21.6

I mean, you're a geological engineer.
