KEY POINTS
◉
Worldwide, the battery and battery mineral market fundamentals remain strong and are growing.
■ Lithium Australia retains significant battery IP and has a broad technological understanding of the
battery supply chain as a whole. The Company is therefore well placed to establish a vertically
integrated production chain, one with the potential to take waste materials (from EOL batteries,
conventional spodumene processing and lithium micas) through to the production of LIBS.
■ Vertical integration is the key to reducing the number of process steps required in battery production.
Lithium Australia's technologies have the potential to deliver lower-cost products to consumers while
accelerating the adoption of energy solutions that reduce humanity's global carbon footprint and
desecration of the environment.
■ The Company is already processing EOL LIBS to resurrect the cathode materials within, using
proprietary technologies for which R&D continues. Lithium Australia's efforts to date have been
recognised by the Australian federal government with the awarding of three substantial research
grants that will progress the nation's advanced battery capabilities.
■ Lithium Australia's aim, that of providing an ethical and sustainable supply of materials to the battery
industry, could also enhance energy security at a national level.
