Aqua Metals Expands Vision for Commercial Giga-Scale Lithium Battery Recycling – More than Doubling the Output of Battery Grade Lithium at Sierra ARC Phase 1

RENO, Nev., Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS), a pioneer in sustainable lithium battery recycling, today announced an accelerated pathway intended to increase revenue and margin at its planned commercial-scale AquaRefining™ facility at the Tahoe-Reno industrial center. To streamline market entry, optimize capital efficiency, scale core patented and licensable technology, and meet evolving customer demands, the Company intends to prioritize the production of battery grade lithium carbonate, more than doubling the initial production targets. Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP), a widely traded, high-value nickel and cobalt product, along with copper and manganese, will make up the rest of its product suite at its Sierra ARC recycling campus.
