Battery grade critical materials sourced and processed in Brazil
Join us as we develop a sustainable Western battery material supply chain which exceeds current battery performance. The West urgently needs to secure supply chains to achieve announced critical materials supply chains and accelerate solar/battery and mass EV adoption. Our business plan examines the LFP/LMFP and LMR battery supply chain, its current market dynamics, and Brazil’s strategic initiatives to establish itself as a sustainable supplier and vertically integrated processor in this critical materials sector.
The global shift toward renewable energy and electric mobility has propelled Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries into the spotlight. With their inherent safety, cost-effectiveness, and long cycle life, LFP batteries are increasingly favored for electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems. 40% of electric vehicles sold in 2023 were powered by Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Batterties, meanwhile >90% of this material is outsourced from China.
Brazil’s holds some of the world’s largest and highest quality lithium, iron, phosphate and manganese reserves with low-cost production. Local production costs are 30% lower than Western equivalents due to labor and energy savings. Brazil is moving past mineral exports to establish cathode and battery manufacturing for domestic and foreign markets. Our solution is to develop first processing capacity in Brazil.
Mr. Brian Leeners received both his B.Comm. and LL.B. degrees from the University of British Columbia in 1992 and since that time has been focused on the management of private and public venture companies in the Materials and Technology Sectors. Since 1997, Brian has been responsible for raising in excess of US$125 million (not including public market buy-side volumes) into various venture stage companies.
For nearly two decades, Stephen has been a key figure in the mining exploration industry, guiding companies through complex regulatory environments and capital markets while advancing exploration initiatives. His executive experience spans both private and publicly traded firms, where he has consistently delivered results through operational discipline and strong stakeholder engagement. including public market buy-side volumes) into various venture stage companies.
