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.
