Lithium is widely recognized as a key player in the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, as its name is associated with the batteries that power electric cars. However, graphite, a lesser-known component, is equally important in lithium-ion batteries. Surprisingly, lithium-ion batteries require more graphite than lithium, with some estimates suggesting a ratio of 10-20 times. In this article, we will explore some noteworthy companies worth keeping an eye on in this industry.
Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. (NYSE: NMG) is a company focused on developing a carbon-neutral battery anode material in Quebec, Canada, to meet the increasing demand of the lithium-ion and fuel cell markets. Their goal is to become a strategic supplier to leading battery and automobile manufacturers, offering high-performance and reliable advanced materials while prioritizing sustainability and supply chain traceability. In a recent press release, the company highlighted their progress in optimizing advanced manufacturing technologies, engaging with top-tier customers, and securing financing and commercialization commitments for their phase-2 projects. They also mentioned their collaboration with Panasonic Energy Co. Ltd. to develop a definitive multi-year offtake agreement for active anode material. Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. believes that their fully integrated production model, covering everything from ore to battery material, provides significant advantages in terms of environmental impact, traceability, logistics, and reliability.
NEO Battery Materials Ltd. (OTCQB: NBMFF) is a Canadian company specializing in battery materials, particularly silicon anode materials for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles, electronics, and energy storage systems. With a patented, cost-effective manufacturing process, NEO Battery Materials enables the production of longer-lasting and rapidly charging batteries compared to existing technologies. The company recently announced a binding agreement with its preferred contractor to initiate the construction of a commercial plant in South Korea next month, with a targeted completion date in the first half of 2024. This facility aims to supply low-cost, high-performance silicon anode materials to EV battery cell manufacturers in South Korea, the United States, and Europe.
Lithium Corporation (OTCQB: LTUM) is an exploration company based in Nevada, primarily focused on discovering energy storage-related resources in North America. The company aims to capitalize on opportunities within the expanding next-generation energy storage markets. Recently, Lithium Corporation announced the commencement of sonic drilling on their Carvers block in North Big Smoky Valley, Nye County, Nevada. Morella Corporation, the company's largest shareholder and optionee on the prospect, is conducting the drilling as part of their agreement to earn a 60% interest in the project. All necessary permits have been granted, and drilling began in the second week of June.
American Battery Materials Inc. (OTC: BLTH) is a US-based exploration and development company focused on critical minerals, including Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), essential for refining, processing, and distributing minerals to support the long-term energy transition and electrification of the US domestic and global economy. In June of this year, the company announced a definitive merger agreement with Seaport Global Acquisition II Corp. (NASDAQ: SGII), leading to American Battery Materials becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of SGII. Shareholders of American Battery Materials will receive equity in SGII valued at $160 million. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, with the combined company expected to be renamed American Battery Materials Holdings and listed on the Nasdaq Global Market.
Graphite One Inc. (OTCQX: GPHOF) is actively developing the Graphite One Project, aiming to become a producer of high-grade anode materials integrated with domestic graphite resources in the United States. The project is designed to be a vertically integrated enterprise, encompassing mining, processing, and manufacturing of anode materials primarily for the lithium-ion electric vehicle battery market. In June of this year, Graphite One (Alaska), Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Graphite One Inc., received a $37.5 million grant from the Department of Defense (DOD) under the Defense Production Act. This funding, derived from the Inflation Reduction Act, will accelerate the Feasibility Study for their Graphite Creek Project in Alaska. The U.S. Geological Survey recently confirmed Graphite Creek as the largest known graphite resource in the country and one of the largest globally. Additionally, Graphite One has entered into a teaming agreement with Vorbeck Materials Corp., a prominent graphene production and applications company. Both companies recognize the versatility of graphite and graphene, which presents opportunities for new markets in commercial and defense sectors that they intend to pursue together.
