What’s been happening lately?
The last time we heard any news from Neometals was on Tuesday. The company announced that its battery recycling joint venture Primobius has opened a commercial lithium-ion battery recycling plant in Germany.
Operations are expected to start this quarter. It appears ASX investors loved the news, with the Neometals share price advancing 19% to date on Monday’s closing price of $1.63.
Growth in the Neometals share price has impressed ASX investors in recent times. In March alone, shares in the lithium, vanadium, and nickel miner moved 25% higher as my Fool colleague Aaron reported.
During the month, Neometals also announced it was in advanced discussions about a possible partnership between Primobius and Licular, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz Group AG (FRA: MBG).
As part of a global strategy for recycling car battery systems, Mercedes-Benz wants to build a recycling plant at its Kuppenheim operations in southern Germany.
In a statement on 11 March, Neometals said Licular “plans to cooperate with … Primobius, as its technology partner, for the design and construction of the proposed recycling plant”.
