Battery Recycling Highlights from Third Fiscal Quarter 2025: ABTC has implemented multi-shift, 24/7 operations at its first battery recycling facility and substantially increased the throughput during the quarter, more than doubling the mass of battery material recycled in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the previous quarter. ABTC continues to engage with its multiple strategic partners for the sourcing of commercial quantities of battery feedstock materials, and for the sale of recycled battery products. The company expects to continue accelerating the ramp of operations at this facility in the following quarter. Primary Lithium Manufacturing Highlights from Third Fiscal Quarter 2025: ABTC has developed its own set of technologies for the manufacturing of critical mineral lithium hydroxide from Nevada-based claystone material and has constructed a multi-tonne per day integrated pilot facility to demonstrate these technologies. During the reported quarter, ABTC successfully completed a continuous, multi-week operation of this facility and produced large quantities of lithium hydroxide material. This material is currently being characterized and delivered to strategic customers for their internal evaluations. Based on the pilot facility design, ABTC has designed a commercial scale lithium refinery to manufacture 30,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide per year, and long-term commercial offtake agreements for this product are under negotiations with these strategic customers. ABTC recently received an approved Letter of Interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States for a $900,000,000 low-interest loan to support the construction of this commercial lithium mine and refinery. Financial Highlights from Third Fiscal Quarter 2025: Total revenues from the sale of recycled battery materials increased to $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately tripling the revenue from the previous quarter. Cash cost of goods sold, with the removal of non-cash items such as depreciation, for this period was $2.3 million compared to $2.1 million in the previous quarter. This represents a significant improvement in gross cash margin, with quarterly revenue increasing by approximately 200% with cash cost of goods sold increasing by only 9%.

This entity's major shareholders will the US President's two sons (98%), with the remaining 2% going to the existing shareholders of Gryphon Digital Mining with whom American Bitcoin will be merging. For Eric and Donald Trump Jr., the fantasy towards cryptocurrency is more from a business point of view. Donald Trump Jr was previously quoted as telling The New York Times. "From the start, we've backed our conviction in Bitcoin, personally and through our businesses. But simply buying Bitcoin is only half the story. Mining it on favorable economics opens an even bigger opportunity." According to the investor presentation on the website, ABTC's co-founder and a member of the management team will be Eric Trump. However, there are concerns emerging that this latest development could have an impact within the Trump administration. It could even lead to conflicts of interest within the administrative brackets.

Forum: Digital records of past passport numbers can be retrieved on MyICA portal
Forum: Digital records of past passport numbers can be retrieved on MyICA portal We refer to Mr Victor Lim's letter 'Include all previous passport numbers in new passports' (May 6). In 2006, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) introduced the biometric passport with enhanced security features to comply with the standards and recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). This ensures that the Singapore passport remains a highly secured travel document which gives Singaporeans access to many countries without the need for a visa. In line with the ICAO's recommendation, every passport should carry a passport number that is unique and unrepeated. This is important for agencies to share information on lost and stolen Singaporean passports as part of the global effort to curb passport abuse. For Singaporeans who want their previous passport number to be indicated in their new passport, ICA can include the number in the current passport. Such requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Alternatively, Singaporeans who need their previous passport numbers for verification purposes overseas can access digital records of their previous passport numbers via the MyICA portal on the ICA website, under the 'MyTransaction' tab. The list can be downloaded and printed for reference. Mr Lim also encountered difficulties overseas while using his Apec Business Travel Card (ABTC), which still bears his old passport number. As each ABTC is tagged to a unique passport number, card holders must renew their ABTC if they have been issued a new passport. This can be done via the MyICA portal under the category 'replacement due to change of particulars'.

Reno, Nev., April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT), an integrated critical battery materials company that is commercializing its technologies for both primary battery minerals manufacturing and secondary minerals lithium-ion battery recycling, has been 'Recycling Technology Solution of the Year' by CleanTech Breakthrough. This prestigious recognition highlights American Battery Technology Company's (ABTC) internally-developed advancements in battery recycling technology and its contributions to creating a circular supply chain for critical battery materials. The CleanTech Breakthrough Awards program is one of the industry's most comprehensive evaluations of leading organizations, technologies, and solutions in clean technology. This year, the program received thousands of nominations from countries around the globe, underscoring the significance of ABTC's achievements in this space. At the heart of ABTC's success is its innovative 'de-manufacturing' recycling process, which challenges traditional high-impact methods like smelting and shredding. Instead, ABTC employs de-manufacturing process with selective hydrometallurgical processing. When fully implemented, this two-phase approach allows for: The ABTC strategic de-manufacturing recycling process combines targeted selective hydrometallurgical methods. This approach makes the system feedstock-agnostic, capable of processing various lithium-ion battery sizes, shapes, and chemistries. The first phase of this process produces recycled materials such as copper, aluminum, steel, lithium intermediate, and black mass, while the second phase will further refine these materials into battery-grade nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate, manganese sulfate, and lithium hydroxide. Strategic Milestones in ABTC's Commercialization of its Battery Recycling Technology ABTC has established itself as a driving force in sustainable battery innovation through several key initiatives: Recently, the company announced it has made significant advancements in its production processes, moving from a commissioning phase to 24/7 operations. Key milestones include the sourcing of recurring shipments of large-scale batteries from strategic automotive OEMs, the production and sale of commercial quantities of low-impurity intermediate black mass material, and the sale of numerous recycled byproducts.
