魁北克省萨格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2023年12月11日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)欣然宣布，本公司已与内华达州拉斯维加斯的Ultion Technologies Inc（以下简称“Ultion”）签署了一份谅解备忘录（以下简称“MOU”)，购买生产磷酸铁锂（“LFP”）和磷酸铁锰锂（“LFMP”）阴极活性材料（“CAM”）的非独家永久技术许可。
本谅解备忘录所考虑的LFP技术目前正在两家工厂生产，一家工厂的年产量为10,000吨，另一家工厂的年产量为50,000吨。根据最近的市场价格范围，50,000 吨LFP阴极活性材料的市场价值估计为6.25亿美元至12.5亿美元。本谅解备忘录中设想的LFMP技术目前正在开发中，月产量为几吨。
First Phosphate首席执行官John Passalacqua表示，“这项协议对本公司来说非常重要，因为它提供了成熟的商业级LFP生产技术，以及进入LFP阴极活性材料特殊产品细分市场的承购权。我们正在谨慎而系统地进入LFP CAM生产领域。获得各种LFP生产技术可以降低我们的技术风险，使我们能够通过服务于不同市场和不同客户需求来实现行业风险的分散化。”
Ultion首席执行官Johnnie Stoker博士表示，“我们很高兴能与First Phosphate合作开发北美的锂电池供应链。凭借其安全的高纯度矿石来源和开发下游阴极活性材料加工的承诺，First Phosphate将成为锂电池供应链中的重要一员”。
