Aqua Metals has signed a non-binding letter of intent with Westwin Elements for the potential supply of 500–1,000 tonnes per year of high-purity recycled nickel carbonate; first deliveries are planned for 2027. The product has been qualified by Westwin and the contract could be worth about $12 million annually, but is subject to secured financing and completion of the facilities. In addition, Aqua Metals raised $13 million in a share offering, prompting Benchmark to raise its price target and bringing the company back into compliance with NASDAQ’s minimum listing requirement. » Mere på de.investing.com
