American Battery Technology Company (ABAT) received U.S. Bureau of Land Management certification of acceptance for its mine and refinery Plan of Operations for the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project in Nevada.
This advances federal permitting for what is described as one of the largest known U.S. lithium claystone resources, covering about 10,700 acres of public land near Tonopah. The project is designated a FAST-41 Covered Project, has a competitive $58 million U.S. DOE grant for an initial 5,000 tonnes-per-year processing train, and a $900 million Letter of Interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States to support expansion to 30,000 tonnes per year of lithium hydroxide monohydrate. The mine plan outlines an estimated 21.3 million tonnes of accessible lithium hydroxide monohydrate, a 68-year mine life, and approximately 1,300 construction and 300 operations jobs.
American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) hosted U.S. Department of Energy Assistant Secretary Audrey Robertson and other federal and Nevada leaders at its commercial lithium-ion battery recycling facility and claystone-to-lithium hydroxide pilot operations near Reno, Nevada.
According to American Battery Technology Company, visitors reviewed DOE-supported technologies, including the existing recycling plant and a planned second commercial-scale facility backed by a $150 million DOE award, expected to process about five times the volume of the current operation. Leaders also toured the claystone-to-lithium hydroxide pilot plant using material from the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project, which has produced battery-grade lithium hydroxide and supports a proposed commercial refinery backed by a $57 million DOE award. These initiatives are part of ABTC’s integrated strategy to expand domestic battery material supply through recycling and primary lithium development.
American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) reported unaudited Q4 FY26 results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with record revenue of $8.2 million (up 5.1% QoQ) and cost of goods sold of $6.9 million (down 2.8% QoQ), driving gross profit to a company-high $1.3 million, an 86% quarter-over-quarter increase driven by operational efficiencies at its Nevada critical mineral recycling facility.
The company held $50.3 million in cash (including $49.5 million unrestricted) and no debt. ABAT also won an appeal with the U.S. Department of Energy, resulting in full reinstatement of a previously terminated $57 million grant supporting the planned $115 million first processing train at its Tonopah Flats Lithium Project. Additional highlights included progress on a second U.S. recycling facility, advancement of the Tonopah Flats claystone-to-lithium hydroxide project through NEPA baseline study completion and a Definitive Feasibility Study launch, and previously published PFS economics outlining 30,000 tpa LHM production, an after-tax NPV(8%) of $2.57 billion, an IRR of 21.8%, and total resources of 21.3 million tonnes LHM with 2.73 million tonnes of proven and probable reserves. A new federal directive, however, could materially impact revenue by restricting exports of black mass, which currently represents most of ABAT’s sales.
