Name of the Project
Electra battery recycling facility.

Location
North of Toronto, in Ontario, Canada, adjacent to Electra Battery Metals' cobalt sulphate refinery.

Project Owner/s
Electra Battery Metals, in collaboration with the Aki Battery Recycling joint venture, a partnership between Electra and the indigenous-owned Three Fires Group.

Project Description
Electra Battery Metals is developing a modular lithium-ion battery recycling facility as part of its integrated Battery Materials Park strategy. 

The company finalised a Class 3 feasibility-level engineering study in June 2025, which confirmed the technical and economic viability of the modular facility. 

The facility will process black mass derived from end-of-life batteries and production scrap using a hydrometallurgical process to recover critical materials, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite and copper. 

Designed to work in tandem with Electra's adjacent cobalt sulphate refinery, the plant will use hydroelectric power from the Ontario grid, reducing emissions and water consumption.
