 American Battery Technology Company OTCQB:ABML ABTC said it accepts the Biden administrations call to increase domestic production of critical minerals and metals needed for advanced technologies like electric vehicles to reduce Americas reliance on foreign suppliers. President Joe Biden on Thursday invoked the Defense Production Act to give the government more ways to provide support for the mining, processing, and recycling of critical materials -- such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, and manganese that are used to make large-capacity batteries for EVs and clean-energy storage systems.
