Electra Battery Materials Discusses Battery Material Park Study and Upcoming Production with The Stock Day Podcast

Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - March 10, 2022) - The Stock Day Podcast welcomed Electra Battery Materials (OTCQX: ELBMF) ("the Company"), a company planning to build a fully integrated, localized and environmentally sustainable battery materials park. CEO of the Company, Trent Mell, joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly.

"Could you tell us about Electra's battery material park study that the Canadian government has funded?", asked Jolly. "Our cobalt plant will be up and running in December," shared Mell. "The recycling part of our strategy is coming together," he added. "We launched a study with Glencore, Talon Metals, the government of Canada and the government of Ontario, all participating and funding, to try to understand what a nickel plant would look like," said Mell. "It will be a six-month study, but there will be a couple of milestones along the way that we will be able to share with the market."

"Why are electric battery materials important for North America?", asked Jolly. "It is not easy to permit mining and refining operations in America," explained Mell. "Canada is a logical place; there is clean hydroelectric power, a permitting regime, and the infrastructure and manpower," he said. "In 2025, a lot of the new models are coming on stream."

"Are you going to be producing cobalt and nickel, or are you going to be buying it from a secondary source?", asked Jolly. "It is probably best to think of us first and foremost as a chemical company," said Mell. "We are buying raw material out in the market and then we are converting it into a usable form for the battery."

"What are Glencore and Talon going to do for you?", asked Jolly. "With Glencore and Talon, a lot of their nickel supplies are here in North America, which could lower the carbon footprint," said Mell. "We may or may not end up partnering with these companies, but we all want to get a sense of what a nickel plant of this nature would look like in North America."

"How does your company fit into the growth of the EV market?", asked Jolly. "Globally EV sales doubled last year, and we're starting to get the kind of vehicles that you and I want to drive," said Mell. "Our timeline to production aligns very well with purchase intentions of American consumers," he explained, adding that without North American production, consumers will be forced to purchase batteries abroad.

To close the interview, Mell elaborated on the Company's mission to create an environmentally friendly cobalt production process, while also noting the Company's current valuation which remains undervalued as they continue to move closer to production.
