GMG CEO Craig Nicol said that the agreement provides an opportunity to introduce the company's graphene technology into the rail sector.

"Rail systems demand the highest standards of performance, durability and efficiency — and we believe graphene is uniquely positioned to deliver meaningful improvements across a range of applications,” Nicol said. “We look forward to working closely with the Alstom team to develop and commercialise graphene products that will help shape the future of rail."

GMG non-executive chairman and director Jack Perkowski described the agreement as a significant milestone for the company and said it could create an additional source of revenue.

"The fact that a company of Alstom's scale and technical sophistication has chosen to partner exclusively with GMG to evaluate develop and commercialize graphene-based products for the rail industry is a powerful validation of our technology and our team's capabilities,” Perkowski said. “This arrangement has the potential to open a new revenue stream for GMG and reinforces our strategy of targeting large, established industries where graphene's unique properties can deliver measurable, real-world impact."

Shares of GMG added 2.3% on Tuesday morning at C$2.19 in Toronto.

Nasdaq leads Wall Street higher with Tesla, Alphabet earnings on deck Proactive uses images sourced from Shutterstock4:20pm: Chip rally lifts stocks

Wall Street finished sharply higher on Tuesday, with semiconductor stocks leading a broad-based rally despite fresh geopolitical and trade concerns.

The Nasdaq paced the gains, climbing 329 points, or 1.3%, to 25,837 as investors piled back into chipmakers after recent weakness. The S&P 500 rose 66 points, or 0.9%, to 7,509, while the Dow Jones added 385 points, or 0.7%, to close at 52,225.

Technology shares were the standout performers as optimism returned to the semiconductor sector, helping offset concerns over escalating tensions in the Middle East and new US tariffs targeting Canadian imports.

Investors appeared willing to look beyond the latest geopolitical headlines, instead focusing on a busy stretch of corporate earnings that could set the tone for markets through the rest of the week.

The spotlight now turns to Wednesday's earnings calendar, one of the busiest of the season. Before the opening bell, investors will hear from Philip Morris, GE Vernova and AT&T. After markets close, attention will shift to Big Tech, with Alphabet, Tesla and IBM all scheduled to report results.

11:00am: AI rally faces reality

Some analysts are wondering whether market expectations have already been pushed too high.

Linh Tran, Market Analyst at XS.com, believes what we’re seeing is “more than ordinary profit-taking.”

“With valuations already reflecting much of the optimism surrounding artificial intelligence, the market is no longer satisfied with earnings simply beating forecasts,” Tran wrote.

“Investors now expect companies to keep raising their revenue outlooks, preserve profit margins and prove that the enormous amount of capital being committed to AI infrastructure can generate adequate economic returns.”

Still, Tran believes the market’s long-term uptrend remains intact, but investors may face a more selective environment ahead. A measured pullback could be constructive by easing valuation concerns and setting the stage for a healthier continuation of the rally, the analyst added.

9:55am: Investors look past trade worries

Stocks opened higher Tuesday morning, with the Nasdaq leading the charge as chip stocks bounced back and investors digested a fresh batch of corporate earnings.

The Nasdaq climbed 0.7% to 25,687, while the S&P 500 gained 0.4% to 7,468 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.2% to 51,924.

Technology shares regained momentum after recent pressure on semiconductor names, helping to steady markets as investors look ahead to a busy stretch of earnings from major companies.

Corporate results offered another boost to sentiment. General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter results, posting revenue of $48.03 billion versus the $46.61 billion expected by analysts. The automaker also delivered adjusted earnings per share of $3.57, ahead of the $3.19 consensus estimate, while adjusted EBIT came in at $3.94 billion compared with expectations of $3.7 billion.

Industrial giant 3M Co (NYSE:MMM) also topped forecasts, reporting second-quarter revenue of $6.5 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $2.40, ahead of estimates of $6.4 billion and $2.24, respectively. The company said adjusted operating margins improved to 24.9% and raised its full-year 2026 adjusted outlook.

Investors were also keeping an eye on the labour market after data from ADP showed private-sector hiring slowed for a fourth consecutive week. Employers added an average of 16,500 jobs per week in the four weeks through July 4, down from 24,250 three weeks earlier, suggesting some cooling in employment conditions.

Trade tensions remained in focus as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the possibility of a 50% tariff on Canada, describing the move as “just reciprocity.”

“Any sustained dip-buying could help turn the tide and push the broader market to the upside,” said Paolo Broccardo, CEO at BankPro. “Strong earnings and resilient guidance could reinforce confidence in the sector, while any disappointment may revive selling pressure.”

8:30am: Fresh US-Canada trade tensions

Wall Street looks set for a stronger start on Tuesday, with technology stocks once again leading the way as investors prepare for another busy day of corporate earnings and keep a close eye on trade developments.

Ahead of the opening bell, Nasdaq futures were up 1.3%, while S&P 500 futures gained 0.4%. Dow Jones futures were more modestly higher, rising 0.2%.

Chip stocks were back in favor after another wave of buying in the sector. Nvidia ticked higher in pre-market trading after the AI chip giant disclosed it had taken a stake in neocloud provider Nebius, adding fresh momentum to a group that has been driving much of the market's gains this year.

Investors will also be digesting a new escalation in trade tensions. President Donald Trump announced a fresh round of 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, including beer, hockey sticks, milk and chemicals, with the measures set to take effect in 30 days. The White House said the move was in response to what it described as discriminatory Canadian trade practices, raising the prospect of another round of retaliatory measures between the two countries.

One notable exception was Canadian crude oil, which was spared from the new tariffs. Oil prices eased slightly Tuesday morning after surging in recent sessions as renewed fighting involving Iran pushed Brent crude back toward the $90-a-barrel mark, its highest level since mid-June.

The earnings calendar also picks up pace before the market opens, with General Motors, Halliburton and 3M all scheduled to report quarterly results, helping set the tone ahead of this week's closely watched reports from several Big Tech heavyweights.

GMG's THERMAL-XR ENHANCE coating surpasses 30,000 hours in salt spray testing Proactive uses images sourced from Shutterstock

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) said its THERMAL-XR ENHANCE coating has passed 30,000 hours of salt spray testing at an external lab.

THERMAL-XR ENHANCE is a coating system designed to improve the conductivity of corroded heat exchange surfaces, as well as improve and maintain the performance of new units at peak levels.

The process coats and protects heat exchange surfaces while rebuilding lost corroded thermal conductivity and increasing the heat transfer rate by leveraging the physics of GMG Graphene, resulting in an efficiency improvement and a potential power reduction.

Craig Nicol, GMG's managing director and CEO, said reaching more than 30,000 hours of testing with no observed corrosion is a significant validation of THERMAL-XR ENHANCE in one of the harshest standard corrosion test environments available.

Nicol noted that many premium automotive, building and industrial coatings are benchmarked at around 1,000 hours, while high-performance marine and offshore systems are typically tested at 2,000 hours or more, with extended programs for some advanced systems reaching into the low thousands of hours.

“By surpassing 30,000 hours in continuous salt spray testing while also delivering improved heat transfer under high air-flow conditions, THERMAL-XR ENHANCE demonstrates truly next-generation performance in both corrosion protection and heat-exchange efficiency,” Nicol said.

Jack Perkowski, GMG's chairman and non-executive director, pointed to measurable benefits in space cooling, refrigeration and data centre applications under demanding operating and environmental conditions.

“These results, combined with our growing regulatory approvals and distribution footprint, give us confidence in the role THERMAL-XR can play as a global benchmark coating for energy savings and corrosion protection,” Perkowski added.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 9, 2026) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive performance test results for its THERMAL XR® ENHANCE coating – now surpassing 30,000 hours of salt spray testing under test method ASTM B117-19 at an external laboratory.

Figure 1 shows the certification of no corrosion after 30,000 hours of salt spray testing from an external laboratory in the USA.

Operations Update

GMG is focused on delivering its Gen 2.0 Graphene Production Project (the "Gen 2.0 Project") by end of June 2026 — which is expected to produce at least 10 tonnes per annum of graphene at its headquarters in Richlands, Queensland, Australia.

Once the Gen 2.0 Project is commissioned and operating. GMG plans to replicate and establish other production plants around the world to enable scaled production for potential sales, diversify and lower production risks, and in the end, reduce operating costs by locating the plant in countries with lower operating costs, including low cost natural gas — one of GMG's key production input costs.

Currently, GMG is planning three potential expansion projects — two in North America (potentially one in US and one in Canada) in addition to an expansion production project in Australia. GMG proposes to mature these projects and expand production in line with sales for all of its products.

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) announced that it has been certified as a Verified Graphene Producer by the Advanced Carbons Council.

The certification is part of the council’s Verified Graphene Producer program, which involves third-party validation of both the graphene material and its production process.

The process includes on-site inspections of manufacturing facilities and testing through independent laboratories to confirm the material’s origin and characteristics. The program follows established international standards for graphene classification and measurement.

In addition to the certification, the company reported that it has passed a recent ISO 9001:2015 quality audit covering its manufacturing, distribution, and technical support operations. The ISO 9001 standard is widely used to assess quality management systems across industries.

Craig Nicol, GMG’s CEO, said the verification places the company among a limited number of globally recognized graphene producers.

“Verification by the Advanced Carbon Council as one of five currently verified global graphene producers is another proof of the high quality of our graphene and why our graphene products function at such a world leading standard,” Nicol said.

He added that the successful quality system audit demonstrates the company’s ability to translate its materials into commercially viable products.

Jack Perkowski, chairman and non-executive director, described the third-party validation as an important milestone for the company’s operations in advanced materials.

“Congratulations to the team on getting this third-party verification on the graphene and quality management system — a real table stake when it comes to producing carbon nano material products,” Perkowski said.

The certification was also welcomed by the council. Terrance Barkan, executive director of the Advanced Carbons Council, said the program provides independent assurance to stakeholders evaluating graphene suppliers.

“We are proud to count Graphene Manufacturing Group as the newest member of a select group of graphene companies to have passed a rigorous in-person inspection of their facilities and a thorough examination of their graphene material,” Barkan said.

He noted that third-party validation can be a valuable tool for customers and investors when assessing producers.

Brisbane, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 1, 2026) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased that the Advanced Carbons Council (the "ACC") has certified GMG as a Verified Graphene Producer.

The Verified Graphene Producer program is an independent 3rd party verification by the ACC of not just the material, but it includes an in-person visit of the production facilities. This makes it unique in that the ACC verify the source of the material as coming directly from the production stream while using world-class characterization labs to test the material.

Graphene Manufacturing Group approves A$1.4 million to complete second-generation production plant Proactive uses images sourced from Shutterstock

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF), the Brisbane-based clean technology company, has approved a further A$1.4 million investment to complete construction of its second-generation graphene manufacturing plant, which is expected to be operational by the middle of this year.

The additional capital brings the total cost of the Generation 2.0 plant to approximately A$2.3 million and was largely anticipated in the proceeds of a bought deal financing the company completed in March 2025, which raised C$5.8 million.

The new facility is designed to produce 10 tonnes of graphene per annum and is intended to run largely on self-generated power, drawing on renewable energy sources, a battery storage system and hydrogen-enriched natural gas recovered from its own production process.

Graphene is a form of carbon consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice.

Because of its exceptional strength, electrical conductivity and thermal properties, it has attracted significant interest as an additive across a range of industrial and clean-technology applications, including battery manufacturing, lubricants and heating and cooling systems.

Craig Nicol, chief executive and managing director, said the company was excited by progress to date and confident the plant would be delivered on time and within budget. Chairman Jack Perkowski said a successful outcome would underpin the company's longer-term expansion plans.

Separately, Graphene Manufacturing Group provided additional context on its most recent quarterly financial results, seeking to clarify a non-cash accounting item that affected its reported figures.

The company holds 18.6 million share purchase warrants with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. Because its functional currency is the Australian dollar, international accounting standards require these warrants to be classified as a derivative financial liability and revalued at fair value at each reporting period.

During the second quarter of its 2026 financial year, the company's share price rose 178%, which under accounting rules increased the calculated value of the warrant liability and generated a corresponding non-cash loss in its income statement.

The company stressed that the adjustment has no effect on its cash position or operations. Its cash balance at 31 December 2025 was AU$13.9 million, up from A$7.7 million six months earlier, and its underlying net assets excluding the warrant liability stood at a positive AU$21.5 million.

Since the end of the quarter, approximately 2.9 million warrants were exercised, generating gross proceeds of AU$3.6 million and further reducing the liability.

Technology Graphene Production Plant with Capacity of 10 Tons Per Annum

Brisbane, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 2, 2026) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Limited (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors of GMG has approved the investment of an additional AU$1.4 million, which is expected to complete the construction of the Company's Gen 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology plant (the "Gen 2.0 Plant") capable of producing 10 tons of graphene per annum. The total capital cost for the Gen 2.0 Plant is an estimated AU$2.3 million, an expenditure that was largely included in the proposed use of proceeds for the March 2025 Bought Deal Financing of C$5,796,000.

The Company's Board is happy with progress to date and is confident that the Gen 2.0 Plant project is on track to meet its original budget and expectation to be online by the middle of 2026. The early work and procurement of the long lead items is substantially complete, and engineering and design has commenced.

The Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to be largely self-powered from standalone energy generation that utilizes renewable sources, an energy storage system and hydrogen enriched natural gas provided by tail gas power generation.

GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are very excited with the progress to date of the Gen 2.0 project and are looking forward to bringing the plant online – on time and on budget."

GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "A successful Gen 2.0 project will form the basis for the Company's future expansion plans."

Quarterly Financial Results Update

The Company is pleased to provide a further update to its most recent Quarterly Financial Results as published and filed on March 2, 2026. The Company's results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This news release may include certain Non-IFRS measures as reported in the Company's Quarterly Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") that are used internally by management to assess the underlying operational performance of our business.

Understanding the Non-Cash Warrant Liability

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had 18.6 million outstanding share purchase warrants with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. Because GMG's functional currency is the Australian dollar, IFRS accounting standards require these warrants to be treated as a derivative financial liability and revalued at fair value each reporting period.

During Q2 FY2026, GMG's share price increased 178%, a strong performance that reflects growing market confidence. However, under IFRS, this share price increase results in a higher calculated fair value for the warrant liability, which in turn generates a non-cash loss in the Company's statement of profit or loss and a corresponding increase in total liabilities on the balance sheet.

Key Points for Shareholders:

This accounting adjustment is entirely non-cash and does not affect GMG's cash position, operations, or business fundamentals.
The Company's cash balance at December 31, 2025 was A$13.9 million, up from A$7.7 million at June 30, 2025.
Excluding the warrant liability, the Company's underlying net assets position at December 31, 2025 was positive A$21.5 million.
The warrant liability decreases when warrants are exercised (converting the liability to equity and adding cash), or when the warrants expire or when the share price declines. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, approximately 2.9 million warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of A$3.6 million, further strengthening the Company's cash position and reducing the warrant liability by a corresponding amount.

Management views the warrant liability as a technical accounting matter that does not reflect the Company's operational performance or strategic progress. The Company's market capitalization at December 31, 2025 was approximately USD$200 million.

Non-IFRS Measures

A Non-IFRS measure that the Company refers to in its MD&A is EBITDA, which is revenue before finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortization, and after adjusting for certain non-cash items and other earnings adjustment items. The Company believes that EBITDA provides useful information to assess the operational performance of the business, however, Non-IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, have not been subject to audit, and should not be considered as an indication of or alternative to an IFRS measure of financial performance.

The following table provides the reconciliation of the underlying loss for the period and adjusted basic diluted loss per share, as adjusted and calculated by the Company. This reconciliation adjusts for the non-cash change in fair value of warrants which is included in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (TSXV:GMG) just put its graphene aluminium ion battery breakthrough front and center, highlighting full charges in under six minutes and a potential lithium free alternative that could matter for EVs, grids, and high demand devices.

See our latest analysis for Graphene Manufacturing Group.

The battery reveal has arrived alongside a powerful rebound in market sentiment, with a 30 day share price return of 65.71 percent feeding into a 176.19 percent year to date share price gain, even though the three year total shareholder return remains negative. This suggests that momentum is building, while the longer term risk profile is still front of mind.

If this kind of speculative breakthrough has your attention, it could be a good moment to see what else is emerging in high growth tech and AI stocks.

But with GMG still pre revenue, yet trading at a sharp premium to today’s fundamentals and a discount to analyst targets, are investors looking at a rare early stage buying opportunity, or is the market already discounting years of growth?

Price to Book of 20.6x, Is it justified?

GMG trades at CA$1.74, and the market is effectively valuing its equity at 20.6 times its book value, a clear premium to peers.

The price to book ratio compares the company’s market value to its net assets. It is a common yardstick for early stage, asset light innovators where earnings are still negative but the balance sheet underpins the story.

For GMG, a 20.6 times price to book suggests investors are paying well above the value of its current net assets in anticipation of future commercialisation of graphene based products and batteries, rather than what the company has already delivered financially.

That premium stands out sharply against the North American electrical industry average of 2.7 times. This implies GMG may need to translate its technology into meaningful revenue and profits over time to support a valuation multiple almost an order of magnitude higher than typical sector peers.

See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.

Result: Price to Book of 20.6x (OVERVALUED)

However, GMG remains pre revenue and loss making, so any delay in commercialising its graphene products or battery tech could quickly puncture recent optimism.

Find out about the key risks to this Graphene Manufacturing Group narrative.

Another View on Value

While the market prices GMG at 20.6 times book, our DCF model paints a different picture. It suggests fair value around CA$5.21, which is roughly 66.6 percent above today’s CA$1.74 share price. Is the market still underestimating the long runway for graphene commercialisation?

Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.

What Is Graphene Manufacturing Group's Investment Narrative?

To own Graphene Manufacturing Group today, you really have to believe that its graphene aluminium‑ion battery can graduate from lab success to commercial product before the company’s thin A$237,672 revenue base and ongoing A$8.57 million annual losses bite too hard. The latest six‑minute full‑charge announcement and 2026–2027 testing and production timeline sharpen the near‑term story: catalysts now lean more toward battery milestones and customer trials than incremental sales of THERMAL‑XR and G‑LUBRICANT. At the same time, the stock’s very large 1‑year return suggests a lot of this optimism may already be reflected in the price, even as auditors highlight going‑concern risks and recent dilution and insider selling remind investors how dependent GMG remains on external funding. The news lifts the opportunity, but it also raises the execution bar.

However, one funding and liquidity risk stands out that investors should be aware of.

Graphene Manufacturing Group's shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued by 47%. Find out what it's worth.Exploring Other PerspectivesTSXV:GMG 1-Year Stock Price Chart

Six Simply Wall St Community fair value views range from A$0.02 to A$4.64 per share, underscoring how far apart individual expectations can be.

Brisbane, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 15, 2025) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the latest progress update on the Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery technology ("G+AI") being developed by GMG and the University of Queensland ("UQ") under a Joint Development Agreement with Rio Tinto, one of the world's largest metals and mining groups, and with the support of the Battery Innovation Center of Indiana ("BIC") in the United States of America.

Based on its current state of development as reflected below, the GMG G+AI Battery has similar performance characteristics to those provided by High Power Lithium Titanate Oxide ("LTO") batteries, which are sold at a premium price of up to US$1500/kWh. However, the GMG G+AI Battery can be produced at a substantially lower cost and therefore can be priced below that of LTO batteries. In 2025, sales of LTO batteries, which are used in many applications globally, totalled US$ 5.6[1] billion.

Battery Performance Update:

GMG is pleased to announce that it has progressed its G+AI Battery technology and believes that, once development is completed, it can meet the key target specification requirements for the main targeted battery use case as per Figure 1, including:

Charging in under 6 minutes;
Energy density > 100 Wh/kg after 1 hour of charging;
Long Cycle Life (10,000 cycles);
Safe (no Lithium);
Lower Thermal Runaway Risk; and
Likely no thermal management system will be needed.

Bob Galyen, GMG Non-Executive Director, commented: "In my nearly five decades in the battery industry, I have rarely seen a technology with the disruptive potential of GMG's next-generation graphene aluminium-ion battery. With the possibility of charging from empty to full in around six minutes, this chemistry fundamentally changes how designers can think about electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and stationary storage. Instead of planning around long charge stops with large packs, engineers can optimise for rapid energy turnaround, with higher power, and safer, with GMG's battery made from abundant raw materials. Lithium-ion will remain a key part of the energy landscape for years to come, but its limitations in fast charging, temperature tolerance, and critical-mineral supply are increasingly evident. By leveraging aluminium and graphene, the GMG team is demonstrating a pathway to reduce reliance on traditional lithium-based systems while delivering step-change improvements in charge time and power density. This is not an incremental tweak to existing cells – it is a new platform that can open markets and use cases that were previously uneconomic or impractical. As GMG moves from the lab toward scaled manufacturing, its primary focus is on proving reliability, safety, and cost at industrial level. Automotive, grid, and specialty-device partners are already engaging with GMG to explore pilot programs and early integrations. The companies that adapt quickest to this shift will lead the next wave of electrification, and GMG intends to be at the centre of that transition with graphene aluminium-ion technology."

GMG is pleased to share the energy densities of the current GMG G+AI pouch cell at 60 minutes and 6-minute charging compared to other chemistry batteries on the market (Figure 2), and a voltage vs capacity graph (Figure 3) of its latest G+AI Battery technology based on data provided by the third-party BIC battery testing laboratory.

Based on that testing, the current stage of development, batteries produced by GMG and BIC had an energy density of 58 Wh/kg when charged in 1 hour and 26 Wh/kg when charged in 6 minutes. In 6-minute fast charging, the battery cells achieved 62% capacity in 3.2 minutes. The batteries had a nominal voltage of approximately 3.0 Volts and maintained performance over hundreds of cycles at 6-minute fast charging, without the significant degradation typically observed in lithium and sodium-ion batteries at such high charging rates.

Standard commercial Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt ("LNMC") and Lithium Iron Phosphate ("LFP") battery cells for electric vehicles and stationary storage are not designed for continuous 6-minute charging (10C); typical recommended charge rates are ≤1 hour (1C), often 2 hours (0.5C), with only limited fast charge operation. Only specialized high-power cell designs like LTO battery cells can tolerate charge rates of 6 minutes (10C).[3]

GMG has now developed a completely new hybrid electrolyte that is chloride free and noncorrosive, unlike common aluminium battery electrolytes, along with a complex cathode and anode technology that enables very stable fast charging over several cycles. The substrate for both the cathode and anode in the GMG G+AI Battery is aluminium foil – which provides significant cost and weight savings compared with copper, the substrate material used in most lithium and sodium-ion batteries. GMG's technology does not include the use of lithium or copper. The Company has submitted an additional patent application covering these new developments.

Craig Nicol, GMG Managing Director and CEO, commented: "I couldn't be happier with the GMG team to get to this point with our battery. We have rebuilt this battery in our weekly sprints from the ground up and developed completely new complex cathode, anode and electrolyte. This will provide a next generation fast charging battery technology currently not available in the world, and we look forward to sending out sample cells to test with partners in early 2026. This technology has many years of development in front of it and will improve as we keep pushing through known issues to improve capacity, voltage and reduce weight."

GMG management believes that the Company's battery technology can eventually achieve over 150 Wh/kg when charged in 1 hour, and over 75 Wh/kg when charged in 6 minutes. The Company believes further development of the cathode, anode, electrolyte and component weights will eventually achieve this end goal.

Battery Technology Readiness Level

The battery technology readiness level ("BTRL") of the G+AI technology remains at Level 4, see Figure 5. GMG is currently optimizing electrochemical behaviour for pouch cells via ongoing laboratory experimentation. Through collaboration with BIC, it is anticipated that the battery technology readiness will progress to BTRL 7 and 8 since the equipment and processes needed to produce the G+AI batteries are the same as those employed to make Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Next Steps Toward Commercialisation & Market Applications

Jack Perkowski, GMG Chairman and Non-Executive Director, commented: "I am extremely proud that GMG has progressed its battery to this stage. It is a significant milestone for the Company because the battery technology has so much opportunity in so many applications – especially in commercial vehicles. I look forward to the next updates as GMG makes further progress in the development of its battery technology."

The Company continues to see a broad range of applications for a completed GMG G+AI Battery – utilising its ultra-high power-density and economic energy density characteristics. Along with Rio Tinto, a range of global companies have confidentially expressed their interest in working with GMG in the following vertical sectors:

Currently, GMG believes it will use a plastic battery pack design, similar to Figure 8, to hold the battery pouch cells – reducing the weight, cost and complexity of using a metal case. Using a plastic battery pack is possible for two main reasons – GMG believes that its battery will not require a thermal management system or the fireproofing precautions provided by the metal case in a lithium-ion battery. Using plastic will increase the comparative energy density of GMG's G+AI battery packs when compared to lithium-ion batteries.

Comparison and Market Review: LTO Batteries

As shown in Figure 9 below, the performance of GMG's G+AI battery technology is already very similar to LTO batteries.

Figure 9: Comparison of Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery (G+AI) to Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) Battery

Parameter	High Power LTO[4]	GMG G+AI Battery
Rapid Charging	80% in 6 minutes	100% in 6 minutes
Energy Density – 6-minute charge	37 Wh/kg (80% of Capacity)46 Wh/kg (6 min +)	26 Wh/kg(Current)Large upside to be confirmed
Depth of Discharge	Full Range	Full Range
Safety	Safe	Safer (no lithium fire potential)
Longevity	70% performance over 20,000 cycles	To be confirmed
Battery Price	US$800 – US$1500 / kWh[5]	Lower price due to lower material costsNo lithium, no Titanium
Market Size	US$5.6 Billion in Sales in 2025	Under development

LTO batteries are sold at a premium to LFP and LNMC batteries, which are the main chemistries used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, and are also widely used in other electronic applications due to their high performance and long cycle life. The material and manufacturing costs for GMG's G+AI Battery are expected to be similar to, or less than, the cost to manufacture standard lithium-ion batteries, but substantially lower than the costs to produce LTO batteries.

LTO batteries have energy density ranging from 50 – 80 Wh/kg.[6] The LTO product is sold globally for use in many applications – with a total of US$5.6[7] billion sales per annum in 2025. Sales of LTO batteries are expected to grow at 10% per annum to an estimated US$ 9.0 billion by 2030. The major manufacturers of LTO batteries include Toshiba, Gree, Microvast and CATL.

Further details on applications for the LTO battery from Mordor Intelligence7 are described below. In many of the use cases for LTO batteries, GMG believes that its G+AI Battery can be substituted at a substantially lower cost.

Commercial Vehicles: Automotive, primarily buses, refuse trucks, and drayage tractors rather than passenger cars, is the largest user of LTO batteries. Fleets realize five-year total-cost-of-ownership parity once fuel savings and lower maintenance offset higher upfront prices.
Fast-charging Electric Buses and Trucks: Transit authorities need battery systems that accept repeated high-power "opportunity charges" during short layovers. LTO cells replenish 80% capacity in roughly five minutes, allowing operators to shrink fleet size without sacrificing route frequency. U.S. Low-No Emission Bus grants earmark more than US$1.5 billion per year, with bid specifications that explicitly reference rapid-charge capability. Parallel subsidy programs in China reimburse up to CNY 80,000 (US$ 11,396) per new-energy bus, accelerating volume deployment in provincial capitals.
Hybrid and BEV: Regenerative braking and high-C-rate acceleration favour the use of LTO batteries. Use in fast-charge EV stations is growing rapidly as ride-hailing fleets adopt swap-ready models.
Stationary Storage: Utility-scale batteries now cycle multiple times per day for frequency regulation, peak shaving, and voltage support. Energy-storage-system integrators adopt LTO batteries for grid-frequency response where state-of-charge swings are shallow but frequent.
Industrial Robotics: LTO batteries are used in continuous-duty forklifts that require partial charges during operator breaks.
Aerospace and Defense: Unmanned aerial vehicles, missile auxiliaries, and soldier-worn power banks operating from -40 °C to +60 °C ambient.
5-minute Battery-Swap Stations: Battery-as-a-service platforms require ultra-fast turnaround and high cycle life. CATL confirmed plans to install 1,000 swap stations in 2025 and 30,000-40,000 by 2030, each requiring packs that tolerate thousands of rapid exchanges without degradation.
Sub-10 kWh Packs: Cordless construction tools, autonomous ground vehicles, and medical carts select LTO batteries to bypass daily pack swaps.
12V starter replacement to Lead acid: GMG's G+AI battery technology would be a viable 12 V starter-battery replacement for lead-acid, offering lower weight, longer cycle life, good low-temperature performance and improved cold-cranking capability, together with excellent tolerance to storage at 0% state of charge. In suitable system designs, the chemistry's stable voltage behaviour can also reduce balancing requirements and simplify battery management, helping to lower overall system cost.
Lifecycle Procurement Preference: Many government procurement frameworks now weigh lifecycle reliability higher than purchase price. For example, New Mexico awarded a US$ 400 million bus electrification contract that included stringent thermal-runaway resistance metrics. Europe's Clean Industrial Deal allocates capital for storage technologies that stabilize renewables, aligning well with LTO batteries' fast-response profile.
Cylindrical Cells: accounted for 37.7% of LTO battery sales in 2024 as entrenched production lines and robust steel casings satisfied heavy-duty demand. Pouch designs address aerospace weight requirements and constrained dashboards in autonomous robots.
