A closed loop system for domestically-sourced battery materials, through advanced extraction & battery recycling technology.

Sep 20

We have received approval for listing on Nasdaq with a new stock symbol, $ABAT, with expected trading to commence tomorrow, September 21, 2023.

"We are excited to announce our uplisting to the Nasdaq exchange, which marks a significant milestone and enables us to unlock new opportunities for our stakeholders and position ABTC as a leader in commercializing technologies to secure domestic critical minerals to enable a closed-loop battery materials supply chain and circular economy. This access to broader markets and partnership opportunities will allow us to accelerate the commercialization of our internally developed technologies as we execute on our long-term growth strategy and facilitate the transition to a clean energy economy." - CEO Ryan Melsert

Great to participate at The Battery Show with Ford, Toyota, Ascend, and Ecobat on a panel moderated by NAATBatt International about the challenges and solutions for advanced battery recycling.

ABTC CEO Ryan Melsert noted the importance of building alliances within the supply chain to address domestic security of supply for critical battery minerals:
"The important part is that as you move to a closed-loop economy, these elements are not consumed. So the companies that are successful are going to be the companies that form partnerships with the other parts of the supply chain. If you have a recycler, a primary miner, a material refiner, a cell manufacturer, a vehicle OEM - if you have a company from each of those groups, you can essentially own these elements indefinitely. We already see a lot of joint ventures starting, we see a lot of alliances and partnerships where companies in each of these sectors are grouping together - that is how you control not just the cost of supply, but the bigger issue which is security of supply. For all of these factories being constructed in the U.S., there’s nowhere near enough material in North America to supply them as of now. All of those groups have to import a large majority of their feed material. We need to address the security of supply - to build a multi billion dollar cell factory and then not source feed to it is dangerous… It’s really about making those consortia or alliances to be able to control these materials indefinitely."

We are proud to announce that @basf_global, one of the world’s leading producers of battery materials, and American Battery Technology Company are joining forces to form a partnership to provide the North American market with a regional, closed-loop solution for lithium-ion batteries.

Under the terms of the agreement, with deliveries starting in 2024, BASF will produce cathode active materials at its production site in Battle Creek, Michigan, USA, using recycled metals purchased from ABTC, such as nickel, cobalt, and lithium. This is part of a broader collaboration with Nanotech Energy and TODA to establish the first closed-loop solution for lithium-ion batteries in North America.

We are grateful for all of the support from government representatives, industry organizations, and local leaders that ABTC's Tonopah Flats Lithium Project project has received. Last week's announcement that we’ve received our $57 million contract award from the U.S. Department of Energy for our multi-year project to design, construct, and operate our first-of-kind commercial-scale lithium hydroxide manufacturing facility was an exciting milestone in this process.

Team ABTC continues to make strides to sustainably unlock untapped domestic lithium resources for the U.S. clean energy transition.

Marking a major milestone in the commercialization of our Tonopah Flats Lithium Project, we are pleased to announce that we’ve received our $57 million contract award from the U.S. Department of Energy for our multi-year project to design, construct, and operate our first-of-kind commercial-scale lithium hydroxide manufacturing facility in Tonopah, Nevada.

Team ABTC continues to make strides to sustainably unlock untapped domestic lithium resources for the U.S. clean energy transition.

We are excited to announce that we have finalized the purchase of our commercial-scale recycling facility in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center in Nevada. The commissioning of our first-of-kind lithium ion battery recycling technologies at this facility and preparations for operations continues apace.

“The acquisition of this move-in ready industrial recycling facility has greatly accelerated our progress towards the first implementation of our integrated commercial-scale, lithium-ion battery recycling operations,” stated ABTC CEO Ryan Melsert. “Within this facility we will have operations to receive a wide-range of end-of-life and scrap battery materials and process these materials all the way to battery grade metal products that we will sell to our domestic partners in order to create one of the first closed loop battery material supply chains within North America.”

We are pleased to announce the commencement of our third drill program to advance our Tonopah Flats Lithium Project, identified as one of the largest known lithium resources in the United States, and was recently named the ‘fifth largest lithium clay and hard rock project in the world’ by Mining.com. Consisting of core infill and step out drilling, the program aims to expand the mineral classification of the deposit and support evolution towards upgraded ‘measured and indicated’ resource classification.

“We are excited to have kicked off this third drill program to continue the development and expansion of our Nevada lithium claystone resource,” stated ABTC CEO Ryan Melsert. “This project is crucial for establishing the domestic US supply of critical lithium materials, and the initial visual inspection of the samples from these first two drill holes suggest that this lithium-bearing Siebert Formation extends much deeper than initially suggested. Once these additional samples are characterized by our third-party laboratories, we will be able to quantitatively measure the impact these new sampling efforts have on the valuation and commercialization of this domestic critical material resource.”
