JINDALEE RESOURCES LIMITED (ASX: JRL) (Jindalee, the Company) is an Australian exploration company with Tier 1 lithium deposits in its portfolio in the United States. The Company’s core goals are to discover world-class mineral deposits and generate shareholder wealth. The United States is one of the largest marketplaces for lithium demand, and Jindalee is a leading company committed to help meet future demand. The Company is focussing efforts into developing its McDermitt lithium deposit. Jindalee Resources was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 11th July 2002 and raised AUD 2.70 million. Now, it is a pure-play United States lithium company.

HPA COATED SILICON ANODES: A PIONEERING DISCOVERY Silicon (Si) is a very promising material for Li-battery anodes and has a significant advantage over graphite as it theoretically has ten times the energy capacity compared to graphite. Unfortunately, the Si particles expand to nearly 300% when charged, leading to particle fracture and subsequent separation of the anode from the copper collector. In 2021, Altech Chemicals announced a ground-breaking discovery in its testing lab in Perth, Western Australia, where they had developed a lithium-ion battery that contains a composite graphite-silicon anode. They achieved this by treating silicon particles with high purity alumina and combining it with standard battery-grade graphite. This technology may well be a game-changer in the Li-ion battery market, as it can improve a battery’s energy density, lifespan and reduce first cycle lithium loss. When asked about this innovative industry change, Iggy Tan , the...
