Monitor for Lion's pouch-cell prototype test results and any commercialization partnerships, which would represent the next meaningful catalyst. The technology remains pre-revenue with no timeline to commercialization disclosed.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Platinum Group Metals' majority-owned subsidiary Lion Battery Technologies completed independent testing validating its platinum/palladium-based lithium-sulfur battery technology, with palladium-rich formulations showing the strongest performance. Platinum Group and Valterra Platinum have approved funding for the next development stage focused on pouch-cell prototypes targeting drone applications. The filing is a routine operational update with no financial data, and the technology remains in early-stage development with significant commercialization uncertainty.
