Hopefully there will be something with this webinar or this could drop back down in a hurry. Not selling been here since aug 2016. hope they get a deal soon
Webinar today........at aprox 1:30 est Canadian.....should get some info on planned present activities and future tech expansion plans....u can reg at small cap power....enjoy...my guess its all good... market sems to like it also today....
Off of twitter....I found a very good...we are getting closer to a deal...nno article on investorintel.com...which was dated Feb.13....maybe someone with the knowhow can post it here....thanks...
NNO 6 MONTH CHART >>> RADAR FOR 2.70 BRAKOUT! THEN BLUE SKIES WITH NEW ALL TIME HIGH! NNO 10-20 CAD POTENTIAL IMHO WITH THE REVOLUTIONARY BATTERY TECHNOLOGY A FIRST WORLD PLAYER LIKE TESLA APPLE SAMSUNG VOLKSWAGEN TAKE OVER THIS ONE. NNO COULD BE A MILESTONE IN BATTERY DEVELOPMENT. INFORM HIMSELF ON WHAT NNO HAS DEVELOPED AND WHO SITS IN THE COMPANY MANAGEMENT. I THINK NNO COULD BE A MULTIPLER. JUST MY OPINION! MAKE YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!
ADD NNO @2.10 ... looks like the company a milestone patent in battery research succeeds. Could be a multipler next weeks imho. That would greatly increase the endurance of the battery. Such a technology is worth gold for big carmakers. Takeover can not be excluded. Of course, far higher prices. Could run many 100% when there is a first big deal for NOO imho.
It's only speculation...I'm going with the German co BASF....when the pilot was up and running equity.guru did a tour...posted a report and pics...I remember seeing a pic of a flask tagged with basf.....went in to basf lithium battery....they are big into cathodes...cobalt free..solid state..plus they have the coatings...nnno has the powders....
Spoke with NNO management at today's CanTech conference... Renewed my optimism in the future of this company... Made me wish I hadn't sold some of my position last week!
There will be lots of winners......but they will come and go....cobalt then no cobalt...then solid state....what next?....evolution....I just hope I can pick up the next player at .35 again....nno is on the verge and ahead of the curve...the ev people will be held hostage by the raw material suppliers....tech will be needed to go around the blockade....enjoy the ride...
Ex-employer to some, but don't believe they are involved!
It's hard to figure who is the winner in this active field!
I guess the biggest bottom line will decide that some day.
Ballard is still around....but I would say no to nno and ballard.....nno can do it take it to the big boys solo.....interest has been ramping up....
Is Ballard involved in this??
Is Ballard still in business?

Vancouver, Canada — January 29, 2018 (TSX-V: NNO) (OTC: NNOMF) (Frankfurt: LBMB). Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One is pleased to provide an update on corporate and technical activities currently underway that include materials development and testing with global leaders in the lithium ion battery supply chain.
Nano One has begun working with a tier 1 automotive supplier on the development of cobalt-free high-voltage spinel (HVS) and nickel-rich NMC cathode materials (622, 811) for the advancement of solid-state lithium ion batteries. Coatings, dopants and additives are being developed to enhance durability, stability and compatibility with solid electrolytes.
“There is a global effort underway to make solid state commercially viable,” explained Mr. Blondal, “with the goal of increasing safety, energy density and cost savings, and Nano One’s technology contributes to the development of the required cathode materials.”
“The successful construction and operation of Nano One’s pilot plant in 2017 has enabled the production of larger volumes of cathode material and has triggered several other third party evaluations of HVS, 622, 811 and lithium iron phosphate cathode materials.”
Operating the pilot has also enabled Nano One to complete preliminary engineering plans for a modular 3300 ton/yr cathode production unit that could supply materials for roughly 24,000 60kWh electric vehicle batteries. Corporately, Nano One has also begun work on detailed plant engineering in support of technology licensing proposals to global industrial interests.
“Lastly,” added Mr. Blondal “Nano One’s process can use lithium feedstock in the form of either carbonate or hydroxide for the production of high performance cathode materials, and we have begun working with a range of lithium sources from various producers to demonstrate the flexibility of our processing technology. We believe this could reduce constraints on the supply of battery grade lithium by enabling new sources.”
This work leverages ongoing support from the Government of Canada through both Sustainable Development Technology Canada and Automotive Supplier’s Innovation Program.
Mr. Blondal will be speaking publicly about these undertakings at three investment conferences this week including NobleCon14 in Fort Lauderdale (January 29-30), Cantech 2018 in Toronto (January 31) and the World Outlook Financial Conference in Vancouver (February 1-2).
Mr. Blondal said, “We are excited to be working together with global leaders in the space and advancing the development of both conventional and solid state lithium ion battery technologies. We look forward to showcasing our technology and updating investors and commercial interests on our corporate activities.”

Recent Innovation by Nano One Improves Battery Life
Vancouver, B.C.: Dr. Stephen Campbell, Principal Scientist at Nano One, announced today that Nano One has developed technology that stabilizes lithium metal oxides for use in advanced lithium ion batteries and has filed a patent related to this stabilization technique.
This innovation alleviates degradation mechanisms that cause energy stored in lithium ion batteries to fade with each charge cycle. The improvements are most dramatic at higher operating temperatures, such as those seen in electric vehicles and could significantly increase the durability and the number of times that a battery can be recharged over its lifetime.
“The technology applies to lithium mixed metal cathode materials containing manganese and is particularly advantageous with Nano One’s high voltage, cobalt-free, spinels” explained Dr. Campbell. “We believe this significantly improves durability and could play a prominent role in advanced lithium ion batteries and solid state technologies being developed globally for automotive, energy storage and consumer electronics. This technology is already generating considerable interest and Nano One is pursuing a number of related opportunities.”
Nano One continues to innovate in the lithium ion battery space and with this patent filing, adds significantly to their portfolio of know how and intellectual property.

Update - Piloting of Nickel Rich Cathode Materials!
Vancouver, B.C. — November 16, 2017: Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One Materials, today announced that Nano One has successfully piloted nickel rich cathode materials for high density energy storage applications such as next generation lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles.
“These pilot tests were conducted at approximately 100 times normal lab scale,” explained Mr. Blondal, “and the results provide added confidence that these nickel rich materials can be manufactured at commercial scale. Electrochemical testing of battery cells made with these pilot materials is showing initial capacity measurements in excess of that achieved in the laboratory.”
“We’ve shown now that our process, when scaled, can make nickel rich cathode materials using lithium carbonate in place of more costly lithium hydroxide. We are currently preparing preliminary engineering packages for commercial scale production facilities and quantities of high energy cathode materials for third party evaluation. With these results, our pilot program is achieving development milestones ahead of schedule.”
“Additionally, we have material test agreements in place with potential partners and cathode evaluations will be proceeding with various industrial interests in Europe, the Americas and Asia.”
Increased energy density at a lower cost are key drivers for electric vehicle batteries and to achieve this the automotive sector is trending towards higher ratios of nickel and lower ratios of cobalt in cathode materials.
In summary, Nano One has now successfully piloted NCM111 and NCM622 with nickel content at 33% and 60%, respectively. NCM refers to ratios of nickel, cobalt and manganese. Nano One is also developing other important cathode materials at the laboratory scale in preparation for piloting that include NCM811, NCA (nickel rich cobalt aluminate), LMNO (high voltage cobalt free spinel), LFP (lithium iron phosphate), LMO (lithium manganese oxide), and NCM325 (lithium manganese rich).

Nano One Demonstrates Lithium Carbonate As Alternative Feedstock!
Nano One Demonstrates Lithium Carbonate As Alternative Feedstock for High Energy Electric Vehicle Batteries
Vancouver, B.C. October 10, 2017: Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One Materials, today announced that Nano One has successfully demonstrated the synthesis of high energy cathode material for electrical vehicles using lithium carbonate feedstock with energy densities on par with industry standards. This demonstration underlines the opportunity of Nano One’s technology to enable a wider range of lithium sources for the rapidly growing electric vehicle market and supplements Nano One’s other opportunities in the space including cathode material durability, power, energy and processing cost.
“To provide electric vehicles with greater driving range, the industry is transitioning to energy dense lithium ion cathode materials with increasingly higher proportions of nickel relative to cobalt, manganese or aluminum,” explains Mr. Blondal. “Current industrial methods require lithium hydroxide as feedstock for these nickel-rich cathode materials, however, Nano One’s flexible process also enables the use of lithium carbonate and we believe it has the opportunity to address challenges in the lithium supply chain.”
Nickel rich cathode materials include nickel cobalt aluminate (NCA) and nickel manganese cobaltate (NMC-532, 622 and 811). These materials are expected to play an increasingly dominant role in the lithium ion batteries used by Tesla, General Motors and other major electric vehicle manufacturers.
“Nano One’s laboratory batches of NCA and NMC811 have energy densities of 710 and 750 Wh/kg, respectively,” said Nano One Principal Scientist, Dr. Stephen Campbell. “This is comparable to the same materials made with lithium hydroxide and demonstrates a cost effective lithium alternative. The path to commercial scale is well understood from our pilot experience with NMC111 and NMC622, consequently, the technology has the opportunity to address constraints in the lithium supply chain.”

Good nno roadmap article on alpha today......the authors paying customers got it a couple weeks ago......Dan lays er out...its comin together rather nicely..
Still need large sample, multiple 'mixture' claims verified!
Keep moving forward, one step at a time...
The most common single question I have heard to do with Nano One has been the following: valuation.
This is, perhaps, unsurprising; although Nano One's technology as applied to lithium battery cathode materials is now proven and ready for outside investment, the company's outcomes in the medium-term exist on a wide spectrum, depending on the quantity and size of deals they now strike. In contrast, a resource company at the same stage of development would find itself with a much narrower - if not altogether binary - set of outcomes: they either find financing for the mine with a known NPV of $X, or they don't.
So where to begin with valuing Nano One? The first order is to garner key metrics on the space in which they hold their IP: lithium battery cathodes. The second is to make an informed set of conservative assumptions on Nano One's possible penetration of the space. The third is to combine these data, creating a low-end "base case" valuation for Nano One's cathode-related business (i.e. a single plant for a mid-sized maufacturer), as well as an understanding of the degree to which performance above the "base case" in each of the relevant assumptions will act as multipliers.
Although lithium battery cathode powders are a specialty chemical, essentially existing as a subsector of the generally opaque and proprietary chemical industry, the space has received detailed coverage owing to their critical spot in the lithium battery supply chain between raw material and cell. Research firms like Avicenne, BMI, and Indmin give us the data we need to build a reasonable "base case".
So, let us begin with the most recent full year of data: 2016.
Global Cathode Production, 2016:
178,000 tons/yr
178,000,000 kg/yr
488 tons/day
487,671 kg/day
4,000,000,000 USD/year
22.47 USD/kg average
The next step is to extrapolate 2018 numbers:
2013: 90,000 tons/yr
2014: 105,000 tons/yr
2015: 140,000 tons/yr
2016: 178,000 tons/yr
Average Annual Growth Rate: 26%
All analysts are calling for acceleration in the growth rate, however for our "base-case" we will use the recent average.
Thus, 2018 (est.):
281,000 tons/yr
281,000,000 kg/yr
770 tons/day
769,863 tons/yr
6,300,000,000 USD/year
The average cathode price has increased minutely yet steadily year-over-year, with the balance tipping towards increasing raw material costs and cathode demand. The majority of cathode production in 2016 was LFP and NMC (a combined 64% of total), with slightly more LFP (lower cost) than NMC (higher cost) - (interestingly, the first materials made by Nano One at pilot plant scale were NMC, followed by LFP). Thus, for our "base-case", it is reasonable to proceed with the average 2016 cathode price of $22.47/kg, which captures the two most common materials and the ones that Nano One has made at pilot scale.
2016 average cathode price: 22.47 USD/kg
Cathode gross margin, industry average: 9%
Cathode gross profit, industry average: 2.02 USD/kg
Nano One indicates a ~50% cost reduction on a kWh-basis - which is corroborated by an indicated ~40% reduction in cost on a kg-basis and an accompanying increase in energy density (kWh/kg). Within our previous and future assumptions (i.e. one plant for a mid-sized manufacturer) we can assume that the manufacturer will be selling their production to the market at prevailing prices and pocketing the 40% reduction to their costs.
Thus,
Cathode gross margin, post-40% cost reduction: 45%
Cathode gross profit, post-40% cost reduction: 10.20 USD/kg
Nano One has maintained that their preferred path to commercialization is a licensing strategy. Royalty rates vary wildly and are the most proprietary and opaque data points required for this analysis. Here, the only reasonable approach for our "base case" is to use a rate on the very low end - 10% of gross profit - and then, as with our other assumptions, bear in mind that for every multiple of the assumption, we may (happily) apply that same multiple to our final valuation.
Thus,
Royalty rate (%): 10% of gross profit
Royalty rate ($/kg): 1.02 USD/kg
As mentioned from the outset, in determining Nano One's market penetration, we have chosen the scenario of a single plant for a mid-sized manufacturer. We select an initial market penetration of 4% - representing an 11kT/year plant - which similar to the production of established ShanShan or Sumitomo, double the production of the aspiring JMBM, half the production of titan Umicore, well in line the with expansionary ambitions of current and aspiring manufacturers, and almost insignificant in an environment of average annual growth rates approaching 30%.
Thus,
Market penetration:
4%
11,240 tons/yr
11,240,000 kg/yr
31 tons/day
30,795 kg/day
The royalty revenues are thus as follows:
Royalty rate: 1.02 USD/kg
Market penetration: 11,240,000 kg/yr
Royalty Revenue: 11,467,325 USD/yr
In determining the net income from the cathode-related IP, a tax rate and operating expenses must be considered. A worst-case BC-resident corporate tax rate of 49% will be used (although Nano One will be the beneficiary of significant abatements and targeted tax credits). Operating expenses will assume that Nano One will continue aggressive R&D, either in cathode or applying its technology to one of its other fields of interest (heathcare, drugs, textiles, optics, energy, etc.), and as such we will use Nano One's 2016 expenses as representative.
Tax Rate: 49%
Operating Expenses: 2M USD
Net Income: 4,828,336 USD/yr
Net Income: 6,083,703 CAD/yr
Nano One's market capitalization , and hence share price, is then a function of a chosen ratio - we choose to use a PE ratio, contextually set at 25 - and the share count, fully diluted:
PE ratio: 25
Net Income: 6,083,703 CAD/yr
Market cap: 152,092,589 CAD
Shares, fully diluted: 68,855,442 (includes PP announced 22 Aug 17)
Share Price: 2.21 CAD
So here we have our base case: $2.21 a share. We also now have the knowledge to quickly understand how scenarios outside the base case will affect the valuation.
Specifically:
Market penetration: For every additional 4% in market penetration, in a sector expanding production at nearly 30% per year - double the valuation.
Royalty Rate: For every every additional 10% of gross profit paid as royalty beyond the conservative 10% base assumption - double the valuation.
Tax Rate: For a halving of the tax rate - entirely possible after abatements and targeted tax credits - add 50% to the valuation.
PE Ratio: For a doubling of the PE ratio - double the valuation.
For example:
One such positive increase in all four of these assumptions would yield a share price of $7.69.
A 30% royalty rate alone would yield a share price $6.63.
A halving of the tax rate alone would yield a share price of $3.27.
A second 11kT plant alone would yield a share price of $4.42
A PE ratio of 50 alone, thanks to Asian exposure from a Chinese A-listed partner or heavy interest, would yield a share price of $4.42.
If Nano One's cathode technology becomes defacto, and captures a whole years worth of sector growth (30%) in an environment of robust demand, with no increase in the other assumptions: a share price of $16.57.
It becomes readily apparent that even if Nano One only gets a small nibble of the cathode sector as in our "base case", the value created for current shareholders is enormous.
My disclosure is that I own approx 400k shares at a VWAP of approx 65c. The temptation to realize the gain is strong, however I reaffirm my initial conclusion: that Nano One will be a company that I hold for years to come, as their licensing strategy materializes into generous dividends, and their R&D expands beyond battery cathode to pharmaceuticals, textiles, and advanced materials. My feelings seemed to be shared by many of those involved.
$NNO $NNOMF $LBMB
Finalized product flows...........Yes the good stuff is now flowing.....potential customers can now do their dd...now comes the fun part...
Plant start up! Plant is currently being commissioned....couple weeks might give us some more info....check on BNN May 15 for the big guys live interview....it was not to bad....it was on commodities.
Hello 0,87 at the start of trading with already +1/3 avg volume
Let's talk again at 4PM at the close where Nano One Materials is trading
Im guessing that its already starting to fly. We have blue sky breakout as of now. It Will continue running until the opening of the production plant is annonced. At that time we might be at 1$ - 1,2$ already.
Agreed. Keep an eye on their production plant. When its succesfull established, this will fly
This stock is so undervalued that it explains why there is no activity about NNO on ihub. Beginning of april is the opening of the pilot plant, quiet the milestone for Nano One Materials!
I predit NNO to be above 1,00$ before the end of april....
Scientific breakthrough reveals unprecedented alternative to battery power storage
December 6, 2016
Ground-breaking research from the University of Surrey and Augmented Optics Ltd., in collaboration with the University of Bristol, has developed potentially transformational technology which could revolutionise the capabilities of appliances that have previously relied on battery power to work.
This development by Augmented Optics Ltd., could translate into very high energy density super-capacitors making it possible to recharge your mobile phone, laptop or other mobile devices in just a few seconds.
The technology could have a seismic impact across a number of industries, including transport, aerospace, energy generation, and household applications such as mobile phones, flat screen electronic devices, and biosensors. It could also revolutionise electric cars, allowing the possibility for them to recharge as quickly as it takes for a regular non-electric car to refuel with petrol – a process that currently takes approximately 6-8 hours to recharge. Imagine, instead of an electric car being limited to a drive from London to Brighton, the new technology could allow the electric car to travel from London to Edinburgh without the need to recharge, but when it did recharge for this operation to take just a few minutes to perform.
Supercapacitor buses are already being used in China, but they have a very limited range whereas this technology could allow them to travel a lot further between recharges. Instead of recharging every 2-3 stops this technology could mean they only need to recharge every 20-30 stops and that will only take a few seconds.
Elon Musk, of Tesla and SpaceX, has previously stated his belief that supercapacitors are likely to be the technology for future electric air transportation. We believe that the present scientific advance could make that vision a reality.
The technology was adapted from the principles used to make soft contact lenses, which Dr Donald Highgate (of Augmented Optics, and an alumnus of the University of Surrey) developed following his postgraduate studies at Surrey 40 years ago. Supercapacitors, an alternative power source to batteries, store energy using electrodes and electrolytes and both charge and deliver energy quickly, unlike conventional batteries which do so in a much slower, more sustained way.
Supercapacitors have the ability to charge and discharge rapidly over very large numbers of cycles. However, because of their poor energy density per kilogramme (approximately just one twentieth of existing battery technology), they have, until now, been unable to compete with conventional battery energy storage in many applications.
Dr Brendan Howlin of the University of Surrey, explained: "There is a global search for new energy storage technology and this new ultra capacity supercapacitor has the potential to open the door to unimaginably exciting developments."
Dr Ian Hamerton, reader in polymers and composite materials from the Department of Aerospace Engineering, University of Bristol said: "While this research has potentially opened the route to very high density supercapacitors, these polymers have many other possible uses in which tough, flexible conducting materials are desirable, including bioelectronics, sensors, wearable electronics, and advanced optics. We believe that this is an extremely exciting and potentially game changing development."
Jim Heathcote, chief executive of both Augmented Optics Ltd and Supercapacitor Materials Ltd, said: "It is a privilege to work with the teams from the University of Surrey and the University of Bristol. The test results from the new polymers suggest that extremely high energy density supercapacitors could be constructed in the very new future. We are now actively seeking commercial partners in order to supply our polymers and offer assistance to build these ultra high energy density storage devices."

Don't know.
All this lithium battery stuff is Greek to me!!
I like the potential.... been accumulating of late.
Would Nano One's "technology" be as applicable in this instance as in the areas they are presently pursuing? (i.e. Lithium-ion)?
Cambridge Researchers Present Lithium-Air Battery Breakthrough
from the get-a-charge-outta-that dept.
Reuters reports on a tantalizing advance in battery technology described this week by Cambridge researchers, who have made large enough steps toward a practical lithium-oxygen battery to give a laboratory demo of their system. Commercially available lithium-oxygen batteries would be significant because they wouldhave the potential to deliver the desired power thanks to a high energy density - a measure of energy stored for a given weight - that could be 10 times that of lithium-ion batteries and approach that of gasoline. They also could be a fifth the cost and a fifth the weight of lithium-ion batteries. But problems have beset lithium-oxygen batteries that affect their capacity and lifetime, including troublesome efficiency, performance, chemical reaction and potential safety issues and the limitation of needing pure oxygen rather than plain old air. The Cambridge demonstrator battery employs different chemistry than previous work on lithium-air batteries, for example using lithium hydroxide rather than lithium peroxide. It also uses an electrode made of graphene, a form of carbon. The result was a more stable and efficient battery."Some more about this research can be gleaned from Clare Grey's web page at Cambridge.
