ABAT highlighted its work on battery recycling, sustainable lithium sourcing, and technologies intended to support energy security and resource resilience.

American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) published an S-K 1300 Technical Report and Pre-Feasibility Study for the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project on October 16, 2025. Key metrics: 30,000 t/yr lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM) nameplate, 45-year life of mine, after-tax NPV@8% $2.57B, IRR 21.8%, and 7.5-year payback. The study reports 2.73 Mt LHM proven and probable reserves, a 53% increase in Measured & Indicated resources versus April 2024, and total resources up 11%. Estimated initial CapEx is $2.0B, average processing cost $4,307/t LHM, average total operating cost $6,994/t, and assumed LHM price $23,000/t.

The PFS notes pilot-scale validation, streamlined federal permitting designation, and a $900M Letter of Interest for low-cost financing.

American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) announced completion of all required baseline studies for its Tonopah Flats Lithium Project (TFLP) and submission of baseline reports to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management as part of the NEPA review process.

The company completed 21 baseline studies across biological, hydrological, geological, cultural and socio‑economic categories after over two years of work, submitted a Mine Plan of Operations now under BLM review, and plans a Pre‑Feasibility Study to further define technical and economic performance. TFLP was selected in June 2025 as a FAST‑41/NEDC Transparency Priority Project and later upgraded to a Covered Priority Project.

American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) has formed a strategic partnership with Call2Recycle, the largest consumer battery stewardship program in the U.S., to expand lithium-ion battery recycling accessibility nationwide. The collaboration marks ABTC's expansion from B2B to include direct-to-consumer recycling channels.

Through this partnership, Call2Recycle will direct batteries collected from its extensive drop-off network to ABTC's advanced recycling facilities. ABTC will process these materials using its award-winning closed-loop system to recover critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. Call2Recycle has already facilitated the recycling of over 160 million pounds of batteries.

This initiative aims to strengthen the domestic supply chain for critical minerals, reduce dependence on foreign sources, and promote a more sustainable battery ecosystem in the United States.

American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) reported significant growth in its fiscal Q4 and full year 2025 results. Q4 revenue surged 183% to $2.8 million from $1.0 million in Q3, while FY2025 revenue jumped 1,149% to $4.3 million. The company demonstrated strong cost control with Q4 cash cost of goods sold increasing only 70%.

Notable achievements include being added to the Russell 2000 index, maintaining a strong cash position of $25.4 million as of September 15, 2025, and receiving a $144 million DOE grant for a second battery recycling facility. ABAT's Tonopah Flats Lithium Project received FAST-41 approval and a $900 million US Export-Import Bank loan interest letter for commercial lithium mine construction.

American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) has appointed Lavanya Balakrishnan to its Board of Directors, effective September 16, 2025. Balakrishnan, currently Vice President of Credit at Constellation Energy, brings over 20 years of energy sector expertise in corporate finance, strategic advisory, M&A, and credit risk management.

Balakrishnan previously served as Managing Director at Morgan Stanley's Global Power, Utilities, and Renewables Group for 17 years, where she led significant transactions in renewable energy and sustainability. She holds degrees from Smith College and Harvard Business School.

The appointment coincides with the departure of Sherif Marakby, who will step down from the board on September 15, 2025, as part of the company's planned succession for independent directors.

American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) has secured a $1 million collaborative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory ReCell Center. The partnership aims to advance ABAT's novel lithium hydroxide manufacturing technology using Argonne's Advanced Photon Source particle accelerator and Aurora Exascale Supercomputer.

ABAT's innovative electrochemical process produces lithium hydroxide with reduced chemical agent usage and lower operational costs compared to conventional methods. The technology will be integrated into both ABAT's critical mineral recycling facilities and its claystone-to-lithium hydroxide refinery near Tonopah, Nevada.

This collaboration is part of ABAT's broader engagement with U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratories, including partnerships with Idaho National Laboratory and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, supporting domestic critical mineral production.

American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) announced its Tonopah Flats Lithium Project (TFLP) has been selected as a FAST-41 Transparency Priority Project by the Trump Administration, enabling fast-track permitting for this critical mineral project. The project includes a domestic lithium mine and a 30,000-tonne lithium hydroxide per year refinery in Nevada.

The company has received significant financial backing, including a $58 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy and a $900 million Letter of Interest (LOI) from the Export-Import Bank of the United States for project expansion. ABTC has already demonstrated its critical mineral processing technologies at pilot scale, successfully manufacturing battery-grade lithium hydroxide from claystone collected from the Tonopah Flats site.

The project, located in central Nevada, represents one of the largest identified claystone resource deposits in the United States. The facility's design and construction are being led in partnership with Black & Veatch, building upon ABTC's successful pilot operations. This initiative aligns with President Trump's March 2025 Executive Order on increasing American mineral production and strengthening domestic critical mineral supply chains.
