魁北克省薩格奈–(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，本公司已與內華達州拉斯維加斯的Ultion Technologies Inc（以下簡稱“Ultion”）簽署了一份諒解備忘錄（以下簡稱“MOU”)，購買生產磷酸鐵鋰（“LFP”）和磷酸鐵錳鋰（“LFMP”）陰極活性材料（“CAM”）的非獨家永久技術許可。
本諒解備忘錄所考慮的LFP技術目前正在兩家工廠生產，一家工廠的年產量為10,000噸，另一家工廠的年產量為50,000噸。根據最近的市場價格範圍，50,000 噸LFP陰極活性材料的市場價值估計為6.25億美元至12.5億美元。本諒解備忘錄中設想的LFMP技術目前正在開發中，月產量為幾噸。
First Phosphate首席執行官John Passalacqua表示，“這項協議對本公司來說非常重要，因為它提供了成熟的商業級LFP生產技術，以及進入LFP陰極活性材料特殊產品細分市場的承購權。我們正在謹慎而系統地進入LFP CAM生產領域。獲得各種LFP生產技術可以降低我們的技術風險，使我們能夠通過服務於不同市場和不同客戶需求來實現行業風險的分散化。”
Ultion首席執行官Johnnie Stoker博士表示，“我們很高興能與First Phosphate合作開發北美的鋰電池供應鏈。憑借其安全的高純度礦石來源和開發下遊陰極活性材料加工的承諾，First Phosphate將成為鋰電池供應鏈中的重要一員”。
