American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ:ABAT), an integrated critical mineral manufacturing company that is commercializing its internally-developed technologies for both primary critical minerals manufacturing and secondary critical mineral recycling, announced it has won its appeal with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the reinstatement of its competitive grant award to support the $115 million project for the construction of the first phase of its commercial scale critical mineral lithium refinery as part of its Tonopah Flats Lithium Project (TFLP).

The grant has been reinstated in its entirety, with no change to funds awarded, to technical and commercial milestones, and with an updated contracted project schedule to adjust for the time spent within the review process.
