About Perfect Lithium Corp.

Perfect Lithium Corp. (www.perfectlithium.com) is a private British Columbia company, founded in 2011. PLC is focused on developing novel, scalable and low-cost processing technology for the production of high performance nano-structured materials. PLC’s mission is to establish its patent pending technology as the de facto platform for the production of a new generation of high volume, high performance advanced materials.

PLC’s primary market is the multi-billion dollar cathode materials supply chain for lithium ion batteries that are used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles and industrial storage. Testing in 2014 by Canada’s National Research Council has validated the efficacy of materials supplied by PLC. Based on these tests, PLC believes their enhanced processing technology has the potential to address demand for cheaper higher performing batteries. The three-stage proprietary process uses common industrial equipment that is designed to commercialize high volume production of nano-structured materials.

PLC has six patents pending in the US, five worldwide (PCT) and one in Taiwan.

PLC intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for full cell battery testing, technology development, pilot production, commercialization efforts and general working capital. While PLC’s processing technology will initially be focused on lithium ion batteries, it also proposes to leverage its platform technology in health sciences, 3D printing, catalysts, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, aerospace, communications and other materials markets.

PLC is building an experienced technology development and production team to advance the technology. Team members include Dr. Byron Gates and Dr. Ulrich von Sacken as advisors and Russell Barton as a principal engineer, all providing expertise in the areas of materials science, lithium ion batteries, intellectual property and systems engineering.

Dr. Gates is a Tier II Canada Research Chair in the Department Chemistry at Simon Fraser University, investigating the surface and interface chemistry of nanomaterials and is the principle investigator for the Centre for Soft Materials in 4D LABS, a materials research institute at SFU. Dr. von Sacken has 20 years’ experience as GM of R&D at E-One Moli Energy Canada and VP of Technology at BAK Battery Canada. Russell Barton has over 40 years’ experience designing mechanical and electrochemical systems and fuel cell products for Ballard Power Systems, Energizer, PolyFuel, the University of North Florida and Neptune Dynamics. Russell is credited with 30 patents issued in Canada, the United States and foreign jurisdictions.

PLC is launching collaborative relationships with NORAM Engineering and Constructors Ltd. and its subsidiary BC Research Inc. NORAM and BCRI are globally recognized in process engineering and will be valuable contributors to PLC’s technology development, scale-up and commercialization. They will provide incubation and piloting facilities along with support in laboratory, design, engineering and industrial know-how.

PLC also has had financial support from Canada’s National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) for two projects and is working to expand its valuable relationship with IRAP.
