The company is commercializing technologies for recovering these battery metals from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and battery manufacturing scrap.\nNeometals currently has lithium-ion battery recycling projects underway in Europe, including a pilot plant with Mercedes-Benz in Germany. In addition, Neometals owns a vanadium recovery technology and is working on commercializing this with steel companies in Scandinavia to extract vanadium from steel manufacturing slag.\nWhile not yet a producer, Neometals aims to generate royalties and equity stakes from its recycling and recovery technologies without large capital outlays. This strategy focuses on lower risk, lower capex opportunities with strong partners.\nUpcoming catalysts include finalizing commercial deals and securing purchase orders for its recycling plants. Successfully executing initial projects could demonstrate Neometals' business model and pave the way for self-funded growth from the royalty streams generated. With demand for battery materials surging, Neometals offers exposure to the battery value chain and a potential low-risk royalty model in a high-growth sector.\nView Neometals Company Profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/neometals\nSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
