Hang on....gathering info for you
check out item (BB) for starters...Eontec is in deep. The PLA giving LQMT north america and europe is HUGE.
Added item (II) 01/25/2021 "New energy automobile battery pack mounting bracket" patent filed by Eontec--look how it relates to the timeline!
TESLA/CATL/Liquidmetal Timeline—from Liquidmetal notes:
(BB) 08/27/2019 Chinese power battery behemoth Contemporary Amperex Technology will join with three partners to co-invest CNY2 billion (USD280 million) to jointly develop a magnesium alloy project to achieve further lightening of new energy vehicle materials. A joint venture company will be set up to take charge of the project's implementation, and the trio have already penned a corresponding investment framework agreement, Guangdong-based Dongguan Eontec (Liquidmetal’s China partner—they share patents within agreed upon territories), one of the partners, said in a statement yesterday. Ningde, Fujian province-based CATL, Dongguan Eontec, which has the technology to process magnesium alloy, Fujian-based Sanxiang Advanced Materials, a firm with magnesium resources in Ningde and the technology to process the element, and auto parts processor Jiangsu Vansun Group, or their subsidiaries, will contribute 30 percent, 25 percent, 25 percent, and 20 percent of the investment, respectively, to form the JV firm in the port city of Ningde.
(AA) 02/05/2020 Eutectix and Liquidmetal Technologies enter a Manufacturing Partnership. Eutectix has significant experience in the battery industry. Eutectix, LLC manufactures and processes metal alloys and battery electrodes at its facilities in Troy Michigan. Its custom alloys are used as additives for manufacturing high tolerance specialty alloys and for hydrogen storage, battery, and magnet applications. Eutectix LLC was founded in 2014 by Dr. John de Neuville, CEO, Dr. Henry Lee, Interim COO, Thomas Smith, CFO, and Robert Russotti. All four founders of Eutectix worked together at Voltaix, Inc., a leading manufacturer of gases and chemicals for the photovoltaic and semiconductor industries. De Neufville, Lee and Russotti were formerly employed by Energy Conversion Devices which was the original parent, via its Ovonic Battery Company subsidiary, of the Great Western Troy operations. They founded Voltaix in 1986. The Chief Executive Officer of Eutectix, John de Neufville, was formerly a Vice President and Director of Energy Conversion Devices, Inc., the Chief Executive Officer of the Ovonic Battery Company and the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Scientist of Voltaix, Inc. This is one hell of a battery connection. Eutectix also has specific experience in supplying specific elements which could have an impact in the new aluminum allow used by tesla in the giga press for frame structure.
(R) 03/06/2020 Yihao (yi’an/Eontec) and Sanxiang Zirconium (Sanxiang Advanced Materials—FJSX) sign the “Amorphous Alloy (Liquidmetal) Project Cooperation Investment Agreement”. This document was signed by Lugee Li, COB for Liquidmetal. $100,000,000 yuan as invested—60% Sanxiang/40% Yi’an Tech (Yihao) In order to give full play to their respective advantages and strengths, enhance the ability of industrial chain integration, and further expand and strengthen the liquid metal industry, on March 6, 2020, The company and Ningde Sanxiang zirconium magnesium industry equity investment partnership (limited partnership) (hereinafter referred to as "Sanxiang zirconium magnesium") signed the cooperation investment agreement on amorphous alloy (liquid metal) project with the industrial fund established by Sanxiang New Material Co., Ltd. with registered capital of RMB 100 million, Sanxiang zirconium magnesium and the company jointly invest in the amorphous alloy (liquid metal) project with a ratio of 60%: 40%, and the implementation subject is Ningde Sanxiang, which is jointly established by both parties. (See entry (T) about Ningde Sanxiang paying Yihao Metals for patent/technology license)
(S)On March 10, 2020, Ningde Sanxiang (jointly owned by Yihao/Eontec and Sanxiang) completed the industrial and commercial registration.
(T) 03/17/2020 Yi'an technology, Dongguan Yihao Metal Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yihao metal") and Ningde Sanxiang (Sanxiang Advanced Materials—FJSX) jointly signed the "amorphous alloy (liquid metal) technology license agreement", which agreed that Yi'an technology and Yihao metal would license the patents and proprietary technologies related to amorphous alloy (liquid metal) owned and had the right to use to Ningde Sanxiang, Ningde Sanxiang paid 40 million yuan (including 23 million yuan to Yi'an technology and 17 million yuan to Yihao metal) to Yi’an technology and Yihao metal. As of the end of the report period, Yi’an technology and Yihao metal have respectively received the first phase of technology license fees.
(U) 4/8/2020 Yihao and Ningde Sanxiang (Ningde jointly owned by jointly signed the "Equipment Sales Contract". Ningde Sanxiang agreed to purchase 10 units and two from Yian Technology. Various types and specifications of liquid metal machinery and equipment, with a total amount of RMB 30.8 million.
(W) 08/26/2020 China`s leading amorphous alloy material manufacturer (FJSX—Sanxiang Advanced Materials) and CATL will jointly develop magnesium alloy precision shell structures for lithium batteries. Key wording: China’s leading amorphous alloy material manufacturer---will jointly develop magnesium alloy shell structures for lithium batteries. TESLA—4680?
(X) 09/xx/2020 Liquidmetal financial statements show that they significantly invested in corporate bond debt securities. They increased their debt securities position to nearly $24,000,000. Previously most of this new investment in debt securities was held as cash on their financial statement. In fact, compared to the Q2/2020 financials, total debt securities (long and short term) increased by 157% in Q3/2020. This is even more interesting when you see that total debt securities DECREASED by 9% in Q1 compared to the previous financials and DECREASED BY 11% in Q2/2020 compared to the Q1/2020 financials. It is obvious that Liquidmetal invested in something…especially since they were content to sit on most of their cash position for so many years. What did they invest in? The precision shell structures for lithium batteries—See R, S, T, U, V, and W. Debt securities are like a loan to another entity. Liquidmetal gave another entity cash, in exchange for a debt security position—in a big way. Essentially Liquidmetal took their strong cash position and invested it into another corporation. Why—working capital (materials and/or equipment) to support a VERY large sale. TESLA
(Q) 12/24/2020 Bromage hints: The upside is tremendous: a single project can make a company. Liquidmetal’s market potential is large within our target markets.
(F): 01/15/2021 Bruce Bromage and Bryce Van signed new Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation, and Invention Assignment Agreement, dated January 15, 2021. (Other employees probably signed them as well—however we found out about these as they were mentioned in the terms of their resignations.) Normally these are signed upon hiring and updated on your work anniversary or employment contract renewal dates—which are both in November (if memory serves me right). Why were this updated mid-term? An Apple requirement? The timing of the selling of previous suppliers (F) and these new confidentiality agreements makes sense.
(II) 01/25/2021: Eontec files a patent for a “New energy automobile battery pack mounting bracket”. This patent reads like it applies to Tesla’s battery pack structural pack for the new 4680. It also discusses a top and bottom end with the batteries in between—just like the Tesla describes for the 4680 cells. Here is a cut and paste from the patent: “The invention discloses a new energy automobile battery pack mounting bracket which comprises a bracket body, a plurality of battery placement grooves are formed in the top end of the bracket body, rubber pads are fixedly bonded to the front side and the rear side of each battery placement groove, power connection sockets are fixedly mounted on the left side and the right side of each battery placement groove, and the power connection sockets are connected in series. Mounting grooves are formed in the bottoms of the battery placement grooves and penetrate through the bracket body, heat absorption plates are fixedly mounted in the mounting grooves, a plurality of heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the bottom sides of the heat absorption plates, and fixing buckle plates are fixedly mounted at the positions, close to top openings of the battery placement grooves, of the bracket body; the fixing buckle plates are fixedly connected with the bracket body through fastening bolts.” Remember that Eontec, which gave Liquidmetal rights to all patents and sales in North America and Europe. Also remember the precision shell structures for lithium batteries discussed above in items: R, S, T, U, V, and W. This patent seems to specifically apply to the precision shell structures for the batteries.
(Y) 02/12/2021 Liquidmetal Technology LTD formed
(M) 5/18/2021 Liquidmetal Expansion Initiated: In order to meet the increasing demand of customers for liquid metal materials on May 18, 2021, the Yihao’ s (Eontec) 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders reviewed and approved and agreed to terminate the "Amorphous Alloy (Liquid Metal) R&D Center Construction Project", and at the same time implement the "Amorphous Alloy (Liquid Metal) Precision Structural Part Industrialization Expansion Project". The initial investment for this project was RMB 105,741,513.
(B): 6/29/2021 Eontec/Yihao set up a $30,000,000 forex for US Dollar exchange rate fluctuations. I am unsure if the $30,000,000 would be the total sales amount, or the amount of risk just in the exchange rate fluctuation. Both are significant… Let’s see if the math works for Tesla. Let’s assume that Tesla makes 500,000 new cars with Liquidmetal technology in the 12 months. Each car (if using the new 4680 shell) will use 960 individual cells. So that would be 480,000,000 cells. Yup, the math works…If we assume only $3 per cell, that would be $1,440,000,000. $30,000,000 would represent roughly 2%. But what if “structural” meant something other than for the cells—the math still works as the sales/profit would be larger for structural parts. It is still unknown what this is for…could it be the cells, the cell pack’s “sandwich” materials, or could it be the actual frame or another component?
(K) On 7/9/2021, Lugee Li then appoints Tony Chung as CEO—with a salary, and a unique stock option plan that rewards him for getting LQMT on Nasdaq and for the stock being over $1 per share. Keep in mind that Li was previously the CEO and did the work for no pay. Now he is paying Tony for the job, plus stock options. Tony is also offered accelerated vesting and a decent salary. In fact, Tony Chung’s new stock options of $2,500,000 will be fully vested on 10/7/2021. That is one hell of a short vesting period! In total, he will receive $7,500,000 shares of stock options in his new role. Plus, he received a $20,000 signing bonus. It sure looks as if he is being rewarded!
(V) 07/16/2021 Ningde Sanxiang Liquid Metal Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Yihao (Eontec) and Sanxiang, has opened and is in trial production. The implementation entity is Ningde Sanxiang Liquid Metal Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Ningde Sanxiang") jointly established by the two parties.
(I) 07/19/2021 Remember that $30,000,000 exchange rate fluctuation info (item B above) that was dated 6/29/2021? The next month, July 19th, 2021, Yihao (Eontec) was named a “Little Giant” for companies in China that are expected to have hyper growth….AND, the article specifically mentions “structural parts”. Here is a quote about the structural parts: “Amorphous alloy precision structural parts have been mass-produced. With strong technical strength and industry resources, Yihao Metal has become a leader in the industrialization of amorphous alloys. It is the first to realize the industrialization of large industrial-grade amorphous alloys in China.” Remember that the new 4680 battery cell configuration is to become a part of the vehicle frame---"structural part”. However, a structural part could mean anything “structural”. The timing seems perfect here for something Tesla.
(N) 08/02/2021 Liquidmetal Global Limited incorporated in China. After everything to date, it looks like Liquidmetal is going to be the next big thing…. bigger than plastic, bigger than steel. So, they form a new company called Liquidmetal Global Limited. Why confuse the miracle metal with the operations of Yihao and Eontec—take advantage of the Liquidmetal brand!
(L) 8/30/2021 Bromage and Van resign--but it’s not the typical resignation—as in resign or you’re fired. Instead, it reads more like a pat on the back for a job well done. Get this, they both resign for future dates—and receive accelerated stock options and cash payouts! It seems they (Li, Bromage, Van, Chung, and the entire board of directors) know something we don’t know. The board of directors and Li REWARD Bromage and Van with no outward news of a contract, or any news increased income?!? Come on… Name another time in the history of forever, that a company lets two employees resign for a future date and then rewards them with accelerated stock options and a cash payout. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention both Bromage and Van’s employment contracts were set to renew in November—just a few months away. Why didn’t Li and the board just wait for the contracts to expire, and not renew them? Why were they rewarded? Why was it allowed for them to stay on after the resignation announcements? Answer: Because they helped land a whale of a contract, Li and the board rewarded them. Bromage and Van know about a whale contract and that the stock price is going to skyrocket, and they will never have to work again…. ever.
(CC) Tony Chung’s new stock options of $2,500,000 will be fully vested on 10/7/2021---TESLA's EARNINGS RELEASE DATE IS>>>> 10/7/2021! Ok this might be a stretch….
(DD) While researching Tesla’s giga press (the HUGE one), I learned that it is made by IDRA. IDRA’s only shareholder is LK technology, who manufactures presses for Liquidmetal’s China manufacturing partner (Eontec/Yihao). In 2008 LK acquired Idra. Tesla’s new alloy doesn’t require heat treating, which seems to be an amazing feature, but how? Could it be due to an amorphous structure or a partially amorphous structure that gives the alloy more strength? After all the new alloy cools from a temp of 1400-1600F in a very short time. Another important feature is that the new alloy resists hot tearing. See (EE)
(EE) Tesla’s patent for W0 2020028730 for aluminum alloy’s for die casting shows Charlie Kuehmann as one of the inventors. Charlie was a main contributor to Apple’s amorphous alloy R&D with Liquidmetal via a jointly owned company called “crucible intellectual property” (or properties). Crucible (apple and Liquidmetal) spent significant R&D on cooling rates, alloy formulas, and manufacturing methods of amorphous alloys that could be molded like plastic yet were super strong. When I saw that IDRA is owned by the same company that Liquidmetal uses for presses, and this connection of tesla to apple via Kuehmann, it piqued my interest. This patent specifically mentions the resistance to hot tearing.
(FF) Finally, I search tesla suppliers and find that Liquidmetal is listed via a few sources/locations. The key to this chart is professor Lugee Li. Lugee Li’s company, Eontec, makes door hinge/strike plates for Tesla—solving a problem that tesla needed. I remember reading that they went from a prototype to a full production part in just a few months to correct a problem that Tesla was having. Lugee Li invested $63,000,000 into Liquidmetal in 2016 and became its largest shareholder, CEO, and Chairman. In exchange for the $63,000,000 Liquidmetal and Eontec agree to share their respective patent portfolios. Eontec receives rights for asian countries, and Liquidmetal receives rights for North America, Europe, and a few others via a parallel license agreement. Keep in mind that Liquidmetal has rights to patents created with Apple via Crucible Intellectual Property, LLC—where Charlie Kuehmann contributed—for all non-consumer electronic markets—opening those patents to the AUTO MARKET via Liquidmetal!!!! Kuehmann would have been keenly aware of this when he left Apple to go to Tesla. So essentially, tesla via a relationship with Liquidmetal could have access to all of Kuehmann’ s (and other Apple scientists’) work while he was at Apple!
(GG) for reference…below is a link of the Liquidmetal contractual connections via Dongguan Eontec. Here is a picture for reference:
(HH) Some history—and an interesting timeline! In December of 2015, Charlie Kuehmann leaves Apple and Questek to join Tesla. The formal announcement was made in February of 2016. Just a few months later, Lugee Li enters into a securities purchase agreement with Liquidmetal (March 2016) for a total of $63,000,000. Liquidmetal and Charlie have worked together for years via Crucible Intellectual Properties (Apple and Liquidmetal jointly owned company), and Lugee Li and Tesla have worked together for years on the door hinge/strike plate. Then Kuehmann goes to Tesla…and Lugee buys a controlling share in Liquidmetal?!?! $63,000,000! Seems like a hell of a connection. So, Tesla, in just a few months, hires Apple’s main scientist, gets access to knowledge about Liquidmetal and Apple’s R&D / amorphous metals patents, but he can’t use them. Then, out of nowhere, Lugee Li, who already makes an amorphous door latch for Elon / Tesla and owns an amorphous metals manufacturing company in China partners with Liquidmetal for a hefty sum of $63,000,000 in exchange for being the CEO, Chairman of the board, and gets over 400,000,000 shares of the stock. The deal opens all the patents jointly developed with Apple for auto manufacturing…only consumer electronics applications are locked up via the agreement for the shared apple patents held in crucible.

I’m still in, but the bet was very specific…$0.12 It was never about a Tesla mention, it was about reaching 12 cents. I’ll reply to the original bet post to bubble it to the top. Good luck! Again, no loser here…St. Jude’s wins!!!! That’s the best part.
Good luck
Well said!!!!
There was a reason for all of the accelerated vestings. There was also a reason for the $30,000,000 forex and the new confidentiality agreements that were signed this past spring. These all point to a US based sale of serious size.
I’m with ya brother! Good luck!
Is this a hint as to why BB and BV resigned with accelerated vestings?! AND why Lugee named TC ceo with his aggressive golden handcuffs?! How about the $30,000,000 forex? How about the new entities that were formed? Did all of this happen because of the sales increase that materion is a a leading indicator of? To quote a Tom cruise character: “SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!!” (But let me buy in cheap first…) Good luck every one!
Best wishes! I hope all this info pays off big for you and all of us. If it isn’t Tesla it’s definitely something else…too much happening. When it hits, remember St Jude’s if all of your other needs are met.
Materion stock erupted today and is at an ALL TIME HIGH. Remember that Materion is LQMT’s leading indicator! Raw material sales always lead production. Materion is at a historic all time high—AND—no one saw this coming…no leaks at all. It was hush hush—like uber NDA hush hush. Like Apple or Tesla hush hush. (Also there was no 8k because it is considered normal operations! Just like there will be no 8k for Liquidmetal.) This was hush hush like every employee signs a new confidentiality agreement hush hush. (Sound familiar?) The reason for materion’s meteoric rise is also very likely to be Tesla or Apple because who else in the states is expanding? I’m betting on Tesla because of USA manufacturing—I think materion is Tesla’s provider of raw materials via Liquidmetal. Apple doesn’t manufacture here in the states so it is less likely to be a fit for materion’s sales increases due to logistics costs. Tesla is another story—4680 cells are known to be in production already—GO Tesla! Also materion, in their earnings call said—sales into EV markets doubled!!! They also mention automotive markets multiple times. Yup, Tesla. I’m betting this is Liquidmetal feed stock too because it is new revenue that wasn’t recognized before. Tesla would have already been buying aluminum, steel or other alloys. Increases to these products wouldn’t have blasted materion’s sales volume because they were already in place—it could have moved the needle but it wouldn’t have buried the needle. This is highly likely to be metallic glass. Materion’s stock surge is yet another sign!!! Not definite (until we get more info) but highly plausible. I’m posting not to pump but to share. Make your own decisions folks!
An 8K would not be required because this is within the ordinary course of business. Here is a link that explains the triggering events for an 8K. I've posted this before, but just in case you don't have the link, here it is.

IT IS THE TESLA 4680 battery cell! The ring you see here (in blue) is an amorphous cathode collector! IT IS LIQUIDMETAL. It is shown here in this diagram also (see pic). and is detailed in this Crucible intellectual properties patent: https://patents.justia.com/patent/8445161
Our partner -- with our machines Sanxiang quote: "As the world's leading supplier of new energy vehicle batteries, CATL has also deployed magnesium alloy die casting for battery packs.

Our partner via Eontec----Sanxiang New Material: Backed by the Ningde era (CATL), the performance is expected to be four times in three years: The battery pack of a pure electric vehicle weighs hundreds of kilograms, and the battery case is the load-bearing part of the power battery, which is used to protect the battery from external impact and friction. The original battery case uses aluminum alloy and weighs 125 kg. The battery pack shell of the same size made of magnesium alloy material only needs 60-70 kg, and the weight reduction effect is up to 50%. It can greatly reduce the weight of the battery and improve the endurance of the car. Moreover, the magnesium alloy has more room for cost reduction. After the technology is mature and large-scale mass production, it has broad development prospects. 125kg is 275lbs. changing to magnesium reduces this to only 132lbs!

When you think about all things Tesla related, remember that we have exclusive rights to Eontecs patents and tech in our territories. Here’s the quote from the PLA: “In turn, Eontec granted to the Company a paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual license to Eontec’s patents and related technical information to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, export, and import products in certain geographic areas outside of specified countries in Asia. The license granted by the Company to Eontec is exclusive (including to the exclusion of the Company) in the countries of Brunei, Cambodia, China (P.R.C and R.O.C.), East Timor, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. The license granted by Eontec to the Company is exclusive (including to the exclusion of Eontec) in North America and Europe…….This includes but is not limited to developing technologies to reduce the cost of amorphous alloys, working on die cast machine technology platforms to pursue broader markets, sharing knowledge to broaden our intellectual property portfolio, and utilizing Eontec’s volume production capabilities as a third party contract manufacturer.”
Appreciate it!
I’m piecing something together. Not sure enough to post yet.
If anyone remembers someone from Sanxiang advanced / Sanxiang new materials / FJSX being at the open house it would help tremendously! Please let me know ASAP.
A possible name (but not the only name) would be xia peng.
Thanks in advance!
90-95%….I will post more this weekend—links etc.
Need help fast! At the open house, were there any representatives from other companies there: China suppliers, etc? Specifically, anyone from Sanxiang advanced / Sanxiang new materials / FJSX? Essentially anything Sanxiang related? A possible name (but not the only name) would be xia peng.
Thanks in advance!
I predict a November monsoon.
Good point. There were bonuses and accelerated vestings for BB, BV, and TC. Keep in mind the board of directors all approved these. So every board member thought this was appropriate.
