From Electra\u2019s perspective, it considerably strengthens the economics of our battery recycling strategy by providing another high-value product we can sell.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Mell added, \u201cSuccessfully demonstrating our lithium recovery process in a plant-scale environment supports our plans to commercialize our process with our industry partners and is a testament to efforts of Electra\u2019s technical team.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur refinery team, combined with our consulting engineering partners, achieved a significant milestone in proving up our hydrometallurgical process for treating black mass,\u201d said Mark Trevisiol, Electra\u2019s Vice President of Project Development. \u201cWe achieved these outstanding results in less than two years, going from bench-scale laboratory testing to plant scale production.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBlack mass is the industry term used to describe the material remaining once expired lithium-ion batteries are shredded and all casings removed. Black mass contains high-value elements, including lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, and graphite, that once recovered, can be recycled to produce new lithium-ion batteries.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEstablished North American battery recyclers have focused on collecting and shredding of batteries with the resulting black mass material primarily treated by a pyrometallurgical smelting process that has a higher carbon footprint and lower metal recoveries than hydrometallurgical processes.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRecycling black mass will increasingly become a key feature of the EV battery supply chain given the strong demand for critical minerals and the looming supply deficit of metals such as nickel and cobalt. According to data from McKinsey &amp; Company, available battery material for recycling is expected to grow by 20% per year through 2040.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nElectra launched its black mass demonstration plant at the end of December 2022, and has processed material in a batch mode, successfully extracting lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, and graphite.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs disclosed previously, Electra has decided to extend its black mass processing and recovery activities through June 2023, beyond the Company\u2019s initial target of 75 tonnes, as a result of preliminary results achieved to date and interest expressed by potential commercial partners.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"bwpagebreakafter\" \/>\n<p>\nThe total amount of material to be processed and recovered through June will be determined in the coming weeks. The Company has identified multiple sources of supply, and is in discussions on terms and conditions with vendors.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAll of Electra\u2019s recovered material will be sold to third-party companies for additional processing and re-use in a number of applications.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Electra Battery Materials<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nElectra is a processor of low-carbon, ethically-sourced battery materials. Currently commissioning North America\u2019s only cobalt sulfate refinery, Electra is executing a multipronged strategy focused on onshoring the electric vehicle supply chain. Keys to its strategy are integrating black mass recycling and nickel sulfate production at Electra\u2019s refinery located north of Toronto, advancing Iron Creek, its cobalt-copper exploration-stage project in the Idaho Cobalt Belt, and expanding cobalt sulfate processing into B\u00e9cancour, Quebec.
