American Marconi Wireless News - EVSX Secures New Three-Year Battery Supply Agreement

EVSX Corp. ("EVSX") has entered into a significant new, three-year supply agreement with Call2Recycle Canada Inc. (the "Agreement") which includes a multiple fold increase in volumes (over the 2024 alkaline agreement) and an expansion of the breadth of battery chemistries to now include virtually all battery types available from Call2Recycle.

"Our multi-chemistry line has significantly improved Ontario's capacity as a processor of batteries at the end of their useful life, with 12,500 tonnes of new capacity in one of the most populated hubs in the country for battery collection and processing. We are pleased to now work together with Call2Recycle to improve the volumes of batteries collected in North America and processed in Ontario," stated Ian C. Peres, President & CEO of EVSX.

"We are excited to see EVSX expand their operations in Thorold," said Joe Zenobio, President and CEO of Call2Recycle. "This expansion marks a significant milestone in our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint and supporting the local economy. With this new multi-chemistry processing line, EVSX will be able to recycle essential battery chemistries like lithium-ion, helping to reduce waste and advance the circular economy."

The revenue payout on this Agreement varies based on battery chemistry. Certain chemistries include tipping fee revenues paid to EVSX by Call2Recycle whereby EVSX owns all recovered materials and realizes additional revenues from the sale of the black mass (battery metals). Other chemistries include no tipping fee revenues, given the high value of the black mass, whereby EVSX pays Call2Recycle a portion of the revenues from the sale of the recovered black mass to EVSX commodity partners. The pricing is subject to periodic adjustment such as annual CPI and commodity price fluctuations. The specific pricing details are subject to non-disclosure, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

EVSX has also negotiated a provision with Call2Recycle in exchange for increased battery supply volumes to bring the multi-chemistry processing line to full capacity over the next year. This provision includes combined reporting of total battery volumes and chemistries but does not include any element of profit sharing and does not restrict nor constrain battery supply agreements independently sourced by EVSX.

The multi-chemistry processing line ("MC Line") is state of the art, highly automated and requires minimal labor to efficiently sort and recover critical battery metal elements, plastics, aluminium, steel and other materials used in battery manufacturing. The MC Line does not utilize any solvents and all recovered materials are repurposed downstream back into the supply chain, with nothing to landfill. The MC Line can process any type of battery such as alkaline, zinc carbon, nickel-cadmium, lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) and electric vehicle batteries.
