OpenAI just unveiled its next iteration of ChatGPT — and it’s scary-good.

What was science fiction a few years back is now a reality.
We’re just at the start of the AI story. Over the next few years, this tech will impact every element of our lives.
But there’s a problem.
The computing and data needs of AI are fast overwhelming our silicon-based computer chips.

Moore’s Law — which correctly predicted transistor capacity would double every 12 months — has been on the verge of collapse for years.

We need a new material, as AI forces us to graduate from the silicon age.
And we have one.
A team of researchers at MIT has discovered that boron is “… the best semiconductor material ever found, and maybe the best possible one.

Because boron is much better at thermal conductivity than silicon…
Because it can conduct the electron’s counterpart (positrons) efficiently, while silicon cannot…
And because boron is already showing signs of superconductivity, a step beyond semiconductors…

Boron is one of the best picks-and-shovels plays in the AI space.
However, boron production will have to quickly increase to keep up with this growing demand.

Today, there are only six active boron projects in the world.

Canter Resources (CSE:CRC, OTC:CNRCF) plans to soon announce the seventh. Only a stone’s throw away from one of the six other active sites, fed by the same unique geology.

It can’t come soon enough — as the increasing demands of AI push us into The Boron Age.

How This Ignored Mineral Shapes the World Today

While few folks realize it, boron is an essential component for many sectors. So much so, that it’s expected to be added to the USGS critical minerals list in 2025.

Thanks to its strength, durability, and flexibility, boron has long been a mainstay of the military and aerospace industries.

Boron can be found in the skin of jets dating back to the F15.

It’s also critical to the ceramics that make up modern body armor.1
Because boron is non-reactive to oxygen, it doesn’t rust — making it an ideal commodity for naval ships.

And, since boron deals with heat so efficiently, it is a main ingredient in everything from space shuttle heat shields, to containers for rocket fuel.

Thanks to its stability, and remaining inert in high temperatures and when exposed to caustic chemicals, boron is even an essential component of rocket fuel itself.3
Closer to home, the car you drive is stuffed with boron — especially if it’s an EV. In fact, there is actually the same amount or more boron in the average EV battery than there is lithium.

Boron plays a role in strengthening the steel chassis, thermal and audio insulation, ceramic brake systems, and a host of other automotive applications that draw on boron’s strength and resistance to heat.

Boron even helps the efficiency and longevity of lithium-ion batteries, particularly by suppressing the dendrites that grow out of lithium and degrade battery capacity over time.4

But that’s only the tip of the iceberg…

Boron is already used in semiconductors as a doping agent, but new a new study released by MIT shows this unexpected mineral will soon be playing a greater role.
It’s no surprise why boron demand is expected to see a sharp rise, jumping around 50% in the next few years.6

Combine that with declines in supply, and Credit Suisse expects demand to outstrip supply as early as next year.7

But the truth is, demand may grow far beyond current expectations.

Because boron is only now starting to reveal some of its most transformative applications.

Why Boron Will Be the Most Important Mineral For Future Tech

Silicon has a heat problem.

If you’ve ever held a smartphone or typed on a laptop in your lap, you’ve felt the truth of this. When electricity runs through silicon, the materials heats up.

Thanks to a team of researchers at MIT, we now know — boron alloys are just as good at conducting electricity as silicon… but with better thermal conductivity.

This is a critical discovery, as advances in quantum computing and artificial intelligence are going to require massive increases in energy and processing power.

Imagine computers that don’t need heat sinks or fans.

Imagine computer chips that aren’t down-throttled to avoid damaging heat.

Imagine even more powerful semiconductors, as heat concerns no longer limit transistor sizes.

That is the tomorrow that boron will bring, as it replaces silicon for most semiconductor uses.

The Potential To More Than Double Computing Power

But it gets even better.

In the computing world, the positively-charged twin of electrons — positrons, called “holes” in the semiconducting industry — are useless to silicon chips.

Silicon is not conductive for “holes.”
But boron is.

Some computer chips already make use of “holes,” effectively doubling the amount of information a chip can handle.

With clever engineering, the gains can be even greater.

The simple fact is, boron is on the verge of taking over the semiconducting world.
But that’s not the end of it.

Room-temperature superconductors — materials that transmit electricity with zero resistance — have been the holy grail of material science for decades.

We have created superconductors — but only those that work near temps of absolute zero.
Now, new research done with boron alloys show that it can act as a superconductor at high temperatures.

Not quite room temperature yet — but we’re getting close.

Room-temp superconductors will cause one of the largest technological revolutions we’ve ever seen when they hit the market.

And when they do, boron will likely have a starring role.

In fact, boron has even been manipulated into a crystalline structure a single atom thick, called borophene.

It is very similar to graphene, and can do most of the same tricks.

When we have atom-thin displays and clothing with fully-integrated electronics, it is likely that borophene, not graphene, will be responsible.

Despite being more or less ignored by the investing and wider public, boron is poised to be THE revolutionary mineral that dominates the next century of tech.

The only problem?

Finding enough boron to satisfy the growing demand.

Plentiful and Rare at the Same Time

Boron is relatively common in the earth’s crust.

There’s about as much boron (B) as nitrogen (N) or lithium (Li), and there’s more boron than there are most rare earth elements.
Yet boron is one of the hardest commodities to produce — because it rarely is found in economically-feasible concentrations
Fact is, it takes an unlikely confluence of factors.

You need ancient volcanic activity, evaporated water, and a fault line, all occurring near each other (and in the correct chronological order).

Today, there are only six known spots on earth with that combination.

Turkey is the largest producer of boron, with Chile, Argentina, China, and Russia trailing not far behind.

Thanks to one of Rio Tinto’s mines in the aptly named Boron, California, the United States makes up between 20-30% of global production, and is one of the highest consumers.

Another mining region in Nevada — known as Rhyolite Ridge — has one of the highest concentrations of boron found in the world.

There are a number of successful mines in the area — mostly lithium mines, as Rhyolite Ridge is rich in volcanic minerals that were originally surfaced tens of millions of years ago.

You can easily find lithium without boron, but it’s rare to find boron without lithium.
That’s why we have hundreds of active lithium sites around the globe, but only six projects producing boron.

Canter Resources (CSE:CRC, OTC:CNRCF) may have found the seventh.

The Most Promising Boron — and Lithium — Claim in the World?

Around 30 million years ago, the area of Rhyolite Ridge was volcanically active.

Located right on a fault line, the area saw a plethora of volcanic minerals surface.

Over the next millions of years, that volcanic material was washed downstream by aquifers, eventually concentrating in the clay and the brine deposits fed by Rhyolite Ridge.

Canter Resources (CSE:CRC, OTC:CNRCF) has perhaps the most promising stake in this region.

Almost 30,000 acres located in the Columbus Basin, it is surrounded by rich deposits. Ioneer, Albemarle, and American Battery Technologies all have large lithium deposits in the area.
In addition to lithium, Ioneer has found very high concentrations of boron as well.

But here’s the thing — the Columbus Basin, the site of Canter Resources’ claims, is the terminus of the aquifers that run through Rhyolite Ridge.

It is a hydrologically-contained basin. Water (and whatever is in the water) goes in, but it has no way to go out other than evapotranspiration.

Everything that hasn’t been snagged upstream finds its final resting place in the Columbus Basin.

That includes both boron and lithium.

In fact, back in the 1800s this property was the site of a thriving mining town on the back of four companies that produced borax from the boron-rich basin. Fast forward to today...

Initial samples taken by Canter show promising results for both lithium and boron.
By the close of the first half of 2024, Canter Resources will publish its findings from the first phase of exploratory drilling.

If the company announces the sort of find it believes it has, microcap Canter Resources (CSE:CRC, OTC:CNRCF) could prove one of the biggest discoveries of the year.

The lithium is what initially drew the company to its Columbus Basin project.

But, in a surprise twist, the plentiful lithium found there may wind up proving second fiddle to the enormous potential of rarer boron.

The Opportunity In A Nutshell

Demand for boron is growing at a steady pace.

But that demand is likely to experience a dramatic dislocation and increase, as boron overtakes silicon as the semiconductor of choice.

Yet it is hard for investors to take advantage of this development, since there are only six boron projects in the world.

By July, Canter Resources (CSE:CRC, OTC:CNRCF) will likely be the seventh.
Talk to your investment advisor to see if an investment in a growing high-tech commodity like boron makes sense for your portfolio.

If it does, Canter Resources (CSE:CRC, OTC:CNRCF) is one of the few pure plays available on the market.

But you should act fast.

When Canter announces its drilling results, it is likely the stock will move quickly.
You want to be in early to lock in that potential.

Not to mention — you want to do your research before the mainstream wakes up to the importance — and rarity — of boron.

We could be on the cusp of one of the most dramatic supply squeezes of the 21st century.

Make sure you’re on the right side of it.
