Neo Battery Materials Ltd Stock Price, News & Analysis

NEO Battery Materials (OTC: NBMFF) has announced its participation as a Silver Sponsor at the 24th International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids 2025), scheduled for September 30 to October 2, 2025, in Seoul, South Korea.

As the only advanced battery solution provider at the conference, NEO will showcase its proprietary high-performance battery designs specifically developed for humanoid and industrial robotics applications. The company's battery products feature high power density, high energy density, and reliable performance - crucial characteristics for advanced robotics operation.

The event, sponsored by industry leaders including NVIDIA, Samsung, Google DeepMind, and Qualcomm, serves as a global platform for advancing humanoid robotics science, engineering, and commercialization. NEO aims to explore co-development opportunities and commercial integration possibilities with robotics researchers and manufacturers.

NEO Battery Materials (OTC: NBMFF) has entered into a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with NainTech (KRX:267320), a South Korean manufacturer, to co-develop two key technologies: sodium-ion batteries for energy storage systems and high-performance lithium-ion batteries with MXene additives.

The partnership focuses on two main applications: (1) Sodium-ion batteries for AI data centers and power grid storage, offering a cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries, and (2) Enhanced drone batteries incorporating NainTech's Titanium-based MXene into NEO's silicon anode products to improve electrical conductivity for longer flight times and higher performance.

NainTech, a tier-1 supplier to LG Energy Solution with CAD 200 million annual revenue, brings expertise in battery technology, semiconductor equipment, and advanced materials manufacturing to the partnership.

NEO Battery Materials (OTC: NBMFF) has launched a high-performance battery cell development program targeting defence and industrial drone applications. The initiative leverages the company's proprietary silicon battery materials, NBMSiDE® P-200 and P-300N, to address the primary limitation in drone technology - battery performance.

The company will develop two distinct battery solutions: P-200 series for short-duration tactical drones with 2,500 mAh/g capacity, and P-300N series for long-range logistics drones with 2,000 mAh/g capacity. These solutions aim to deliver longer flight times, increased payload capacity, and reliable operations while maintaining low costs.

NEO plans to initially target Korean manufacturers and partner with U.S. firms to secure government grants from the Department of Defence and Department of Homeland Security, positioning itself as a domestic battery solution provider amid growing concerns over Chinese battery dependence.

NEO Battery Materials (OTC: NBMFF) has received Notice of Allowances from the Korean Intellectual Property Office for two patents related to their P-100 and P-200 silicon battery materials technology. The patents protect the material properties and manufacturing processes of their silicon-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

The company's P-200 series, offering an industry-leading capacity of 2,500 mAh/g compared to the industry average of 1,300 mAh/g, is being targeted for integration in short-duration, high-capacity electronics applications, particularly drones and defence technology systems. NEO expects accelerated adoption of the P-200 series due to lower validation barriers in the electronics sector compared to electric vehicles.

NEO Battery Materials (OTC: NBMFF) has successfully closed the final tranche of its oversubscribed non-brokered private placement, raising an additional $700,000 CAD through the issuance of 1.4 million units at $0.50 CAD per unit. The total offering raised $900,000 CAD across both tranches.

Each unit comprises one common share and one non-transferable warrant exercisable at $0.75 CAD for 24 months. The company paid $45,500 CAD in finder's fees and issued 91,000 non-transferable warrants. Proceeds will fund silicon battery R&D scaling, manufacturing equipment purchases, and working capital.

NEO Battery Materials (OTC:NBMFF) has appointed Seok Joung Youn as Head of Manufacturing and Facility Operations. Youn brings 40 years of lithium-ion battery manufacturing experience from Samsung SDI and global battery startups. At Samsung, he notably launched the industry's first 1,200mm-wide electrode production line for electric vehicles.

Youn will lead manufacturing operations alongside Dr. J.S. Jeoung, SVP of Commercialization & Cell Development, focusing on producing high-quality electrodes and large-format cells for testing NEO's silicon battery materials at near-commercial scale. His expertise will be crucial in transitioning the company's silicon anode technology from material innovation to real-world applications.

NEO Battery Materials (NBMFF) has completed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement, raising CAD $200,000 through the issuance of 400,000 units at CAD $0.50 per unit. Each unit includes one common share and one warrant exercisable at CAD $0.75 for 24 months. The proceeds will fund silicon battery R&D scaling, manufacturing equipment purchases, and working capital. The company paid finders CAD $14,000 and issued 28,000 warrants exercisable at CAD $0.50. NEO Battery Materials specializes in developing silicon anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, utilizing a patent-protected, low-cost manufacturing process to enable longer-running and ultra-fast charging capabilities for EVs and energy storage systems.

NEO Battery Materials (NBMFF) announced significant achievements for its P-300N silicon battery technology, demonstrating over 90% capacity retention at 300 cycles in full cell testing, exceeding the target of 80%. The company strengthened its leadership by appointing Dr. J.S. Jeoung as Senior VP of Commercialization & Cell Development, leveraging his 17 years of battery expertise from Samsung SDI. NEO is advancing to large-scale battery testing, initiating single-layer pouch cell design and preparing for multi-layer cell testing through partnerships with global manufacturers. The company is expanding its production capacity with new equipment installation at their R&D Scale-Up Centre to meet increased demand from global partners. NEO's P-300N technology utilizes metallurgical silicon (MG-Si), positioning it as one of the most stable and cost-effective silicon battery materials in the global supply chain.

NEO Battery Materials (NBMFF) has appointed Dr. Jun Sik Jeoung as Senior Scientific Advisor of Commercialization & Cell Development. Dr. Jeoung brings over 17 years of experience in lithium-ion battery R&D, scale-up, and production technologies. At Samsung SDI, he notably led the development of BMW i3 EV's 94Ah automotive cells.
