American Battery Materials BLTH

American Battery Materials, Inc. operates as a U. S. based renewable energy company focused on the extraction, refinement and distribution of technical minerals in an environmentally responsible manner. The company's primary activities involve the exploration and development of lithium and magnesium brine deposits using Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies. It has not yet commenced mining operations and remains an exploration stage issuer as defined in SEC Regulation S-K Item 1300. The company's strategic goal is to become a domestic producer of lithium and magnesium to address U. S. import dependence on these critical minerals.

The company generates revenue through the planned production and sale of lithium and magnesium derived from its brine projects. Currently, American Battery Materials, Inc. has no mining revenue to date and has not established mineral reserves as defined by Regulation S-K 1300. Revenue generation is contingent upon successful exploration, delineation of economic mineralization, and the implementation of DLE processing facilities to extract and refine lithium, magnesium, and other potential minerals from brine sources for sale in global markets.

The company operates through the following segments:

• Lisbon Valley Project: This segment encompasses the exploration and development of the company's 743 placer mining claims covering 14,320 acres in the Lisbon Valley of Utah. The project focuses on brine deposits containing lithium and magnesium, with historical data indicating lithium concentrations of 340 ppm and magnesium concentrations of 74,400 ppm in the Superior Well. Activities include geotechnical engineering, fieldwork, well re-entry and sampling, hydrological testing, and preparation of technical reports following Regulation S-K Subpart 1300 standards. The segment aims to develop resource estimates and advance toward pilot production using DLE technologies to co-produce lithium and magnesium while reinjecting spent brine to maintain reservoir pressure.

American Battery Materials, Inc. is positioned as an exploration stage company within the critical minerals sector, specifically targeting lithium and magnesium production in the United States. The company competes with other mineral exploration and development firms, many of which have greater financial resources and longer operating histories. Its competitive advantages include its focus on environmentally responsible DLE technology, strategic land position in the Paradox Basin with access to infrastructure, and alignment with federal initiatives supporting domestic critical mineral supply chains under Executive Orders and legislation such as the Inflation Reduction Act's Section 45X tax credit.

The company serves no customers at this stage of development and has no off-take agreements in place. American Battery Materials, Inc. intends to utilize intermediaries for sales and distribution of its future lithium and magnesium products, focusing its core competencies on exploration and extraction rather than direct commercialization. The anticipated customer base will include industrial users in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, defense, and battery manufacturing, which rely on lithium and magnesium for lightweighting, energy storage, and advanced material applications.
