(\"NEO\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NBM) (OTC: NBMFF), a low-cost, silicon-enhanced battery developer that enables longer-running, rapid-charging batteries for drones, robotics, and electronics, is highly pleased to announce that NBM Korea Co., the Company's subsidiary, has partnered with Korea Zinc Co., Ltd. (\"Korea Zinc\") (KRX: 010130), one of the world's largest non-ferrous metal smelters and refiners, and Taesung Co., Ltd. (\"Taesung\") (KRX: 323280), an advanced equipment technology manufacturer for non-ferrous metals, to accelerate the development and commercialization of composite copper current collector (foil) technology for high-performance batteries in drone, robotics, and micromobility applications.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe technology partnership focuses on optimizing critical lithium-ion battery performance parameters specific to drones, robotics, and micromobility. Composite copper foils provide weight reduction, cost efficiency, and enhanced safety performance compared to conventional, widely deployed all-copper foils. The composite structure replaces the central copper layer with polymer materials, reducing overall copper usage and battery weight. This material innovation furt...
