Targets a September 15 Closing on the Secured Land in Fernley, Nevada

INCLINE VILLAGE, NV / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2020 / American Battery Metals Corporation (OTCQB:ABML) (the "Company"), an American-owned advanced extraction and lithium-ion battery recycling technology company with extensive mineral resources in Nevada, is pleased to announce that it has finalized the initial equipment orders for its first lithium-ion battery metals recycling plant.

We have now finalized the orders for the equipment to enable the first phase of operations, and expect the staggered delivery of this process equipment over the next 4-6 months," stated, American Battery Metals Corporation Chief Technology Officer, Ryan Melsert. "Correspondingly, we are proceeding with the steps to close on our secured land deal by September 15 and for the construction of the first phase of our internally designed production facility to be ready to receive equipment for installation in 4-6 months. The parallel efforts of the manufacturing of the custom process equipment and the construction of the processing facility will allow for minimum time and costs to enable first start-up of this first-of-kind integrated process."

The American Battery Metals Corporation internally developed lithium-ion battery recycling system consists of two distinct phases of processing operations. The first phase enables the feeding of battery end-of-life materials and battery manufacturing waste, and the rapid disassembly and separation of these feedstock materials into intermediate products of value. Initially these intermediate products will be sold directly to the secondary processing markets to enable profitable operations, however subsequently further value add operations in the second phase of the American Battery Metals Corporation process will be implemented to further increase margins and these intermediate products will instead be upgraded to battery grade metal feedstocks to be sold back in to the high energy density cathode supply chain.
