“StorEn’s vanadium-based proprietary technology, geared toward the residential market, is a game-changer for consumers who are seeking to lessen their dependency on the electricity grid,” said company co-founder Nathan Cammerman.
“The success of the JV with Alexander Mining and John Webster Innovations for the vanadium leaching technology will set Multicom apart as the cheapest global producer of V2O5 and underpin the off take agreement with StorEn Technologies.
“This is a seven-year project for battery manufacture to grow to around 70,000 units a year.
“The factory will be a reasonable size. We’ll estimate there’ll be 50 positions created.
“At that stage it will be fed by around 150 trucking movements a year, each pulling 100 tonnes of processed material (from the mine).
“That’s scheduled to start in the second half of 2020.”
Under the agreement, StorEn Technologies gets long-term, exclusive, and fixed-price offtake for vanadium pentoxide from Multicom’s Queensland Mine.
