Blackstone Research GmbHBattery Project Thuringia

Blackstone Resources AG has decided to start a research and development programme on

new battery technology.

• The objective is to develop small and flat batteries for the mobile phone and laptop market. This technology

would also have further potential applications across the broader battery market. A whole variety of tech metals

will be tested. Any technological improvements in battery technology during the life of the project would also be

incorporated.

• The company intends to deliver its own tech metals from its own resources and processing facilities. A special

production technique will be developed to use these tech metals for battery production at a later stage.

• Blackstone Resources believes that automated production processes could also save up to 70% of the actual

manufacturing costs. Part of the research and development programme would be dedicated to maximising the

efficiency of the production line.

• Once fully operational, the company will start either its own production plants or it will partner up with other

battery manufactures worldwide and receive a royalty stream.

This battery market has the potential to be a multi-billion-dollar market.
