American Battery Technology (NASDAQ:ABAT) (NASDAQ: ABAT) is a U.S.-based developer of critical battery metals processing and recycling technologies designed to support the domestic electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage industries. The company focuses on integrating lithium-ion battery recycling with upstream mineral extraction to create a closed-loop supply chain for lithium, cobalt, nickel and other essential materials. By doing so, ABAT aims to reduce reliance on overseas suppliers and minimize the environmental impact of traditional mining practices.
ABAT’s core business activities include advanced hydrometallurgical extraction, refining of battery grade materials and end-of-life lithium-ion battery recycling. The company operates pilot and demonstration facilities in Nevada where it validates proprietary processes for recovering high-purity lithium carbonate, cobalt sulfate and nickel sulfate from both ore sources and spent batteries. These technologies are developed to scale for commercial output and to meet stringent quality requirements for battery cell manufacturers.
Founded in the early 2010s and headquartered in Reno, Nevada, American Battery Technology Company has received support from government agencies and industry partners to accelerate its technology validation. Through collaborations with national laboratories and engineering firms, ABAT has progressed from initial laboratory research to larger process demonstrations. Plans are underway for facility expansions to accommodate full-scale material production and to forge long-term partnerships with automakers, battery producers and energy storage developers.
Serving primarily North American markets, the company is led by Brandon Craig, Chief Executive Officer and a materials science engineer with extensive experience in mining technologies and process development. ABAT’s management team also includes seasoned professionals in finance, operations and environmental compliance. Together, they aim to position the company as a strategic domestic supplier of battery metals and to support the growth of a resilient, environmentally responsible EV supply chain.
