ABAT

American Battery Technology Company (ABAT) operates as an integrated critical battery materials company focused on both primary battery metal extraction and secondary battery metal recycling. Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, the company develops and commercializes technologies for extracting lithium and other battery metals from unconventional and secondary resources. ABAT's business model encompasses two primary divisions: lithium-ion battery recycling, where it processes end-of-life batteries and manufacturing scrap to recover critical materials including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese; and primary resource extraction, targeting lithium resources from sedimentary deposits in Nevada. The company operates a pilot-scale lithium hydroxide demonstration plant in Tonopah, Nevada, and maintains a battery recycling research facility in Reno. ABAT positions itself within the domestic critical minerals supply chain, aiming to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign sources for battery materials. Recent developments include advancing its commercial-scale lithium hydroxide production facility and expanding its battery recycling capabilities. The company employs proprietary extraction technologies designed to process resources that traditional methods cannot economically recover. As a development-stage company, ABAT continues to transition its technologies from pilot operations toward commercial production, focusing on establishing integrated operations that span from raw material extraction through recycled material recovery.
