Successfully Transitioning to Commercialization
We are a leader in developing domestic primary and secondary sources of critical lithium-ion battery metals used in electric vehicles, stationary storage systems and consumer electronics. ABTC’s focus on research and development has advanced a disruptive extraction technology of battery metals that can be deployed across the battery recycling and primary lithium extraction industries. Our advanced hydro process increases the recovery of critical minerals (Li, Ni, Mn, Co) from end-of-life batteries and enables the cost-effective recovery of lithium from domestic claystone resources. By leveraging our capabilities across both primary and secondary resources, ABTC is facilitating a transition to a circular lower-carbon energy economy, from transportation to energy storage.

What are the company’s assets in terms of primary resources, and plans for these assets?
American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) currently controls 517 Lode Claims in Tonopah Flats (10,340 acres) and 16 Claims in the Panamint Range in California (320 acres).
American Battery Technology Company is currently exploring the use of our primary resource extraction technology alongside our partners, as part of a $4.5M Grant for Critical Materials Innovations awarded by the US Department of Energy this year. This project will be utilizing lithium-rich claystone sedimentary resources as feedstock, which is unique to Western Nevada. ABTC’s first-of-kind technology for selective extraction of lithium from claystone resources will drastically reduce chemical reagent consumption and environmental impact.
See the Tonopah Flats Project Page for the latest information.
What are the products of the company’s recycling process?
American Battery Technology Company’s recycling process will yield battery-grade Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese.
How much lithium can the plant recycle in a given period of time?
Our operation will be scaled to process 20,000 metric tonnes of feedstock per year.
What does ‘pre-commercial’ plant mean – will this plant be revenue-producing or is it just a technology demonstration?
The plant is intended to both prove our recycling process at scale and to be revenue-producing. This initial ‘pilot’ plant – set to process 20,000 metric tonnes of feedstock per year – is a smaller size than our initial draft designs for potential, future full-size ‘commercial’ plants which have the potential to process 100,000 metric tonnes a year.
Does your process recycle the cathode material itself? What percentage does it yield, and at what purity?
End of life, full battery assemblies (including scrap materials) are to be received by ABTC and processed by our recycling facility. Each individual element is then extracted and purified to battery grade quality. These battery grade feedstocks are then sold directly back to the supply chain to manufacture new batteries.
ABTC’s proprietary advanced hydro technology uses automation in the de-manufacturing of batteries and targeted hydrometallurgical processing to recover the active battery metals. It avoids high-temperature processing, and is a streamlined and efficient process to yield a >90% recovery rate of battery cathode specification products.
