Ex-Im Bank

American Battery Technology Company (ABAT) reported strong Q3 FY25 financials, with battery recycling revenue tripling to $1.0M while cash cost rose 9% to $2.3M. Throughput surged 120% via 24/7 operations. Its Nevada lithium hydroxide pilot plant, targeting a 30,000-tonne commercial project, achieved milestones using domestic claystone. A $900M Ex-Im Bank LOI boosts confidence in ABAT’s U.S.-centric lithium strategy to counter Asian dominance. Liquidity stands at $7.8M plus $11.45M from divestitures, avoiding dilution. Increasing government grants ($2.0M vs. $1.3M YoY) ease R&D strain. Investors assess if federal backing sustains growth without cash burn.
