From Gary Unfortunately, we can't release company names due to non disclosure agreements.
Products are ready and available for customer testing many months before release, most products are created and tested along side potential strategic customers before they are announced.
Testing for use of new materials in battery cells usually takes between 3 and 5 years, yes, its a long time and a very complex process. As an example, life cycle tests for 2000 cycles means you need to charge and discharge the battery 2,000 times, at 8 hours per cycle that's 2 years minimum of continuous cycle testing 24 hours per day.
Yes we are working with quite a few companies for Offtake agreements and to close the mine financing.
