$FRB \ $FRB.ax special advisor, Ken Hoffman to join other leading global battery experts as a member of the Advisory Board for @Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery & Critical Materials 2026 conference in Las Vegas. #LMR #LMFP

$FRB / $FRB.ax 's updated presentation sharpens the investment case: exclusive ex-China LMFP IP, manganese-rich battery materials exposure, and a path toward Australia’s first demonstration-scale manganese battery materials facility. Presentation here: champ.ly/xfH9qtDu

$FRB / $FRB.ax was proud to be represented at The Battery Show Asia 2026 last week by Special Advisor Ken Hoffman, who spoke on building a successful battery recycling business, highlighting innovation, localised supply chains and shifting global black mass flows.

Is manganese having its “lithium moment”? @BYDGlobal is backing LMFP as a next-step chemistry for long-range, lower-cost EVs. Full video explainer here via @theevking: champ.ly/gt3VkNAw $FRB / $FRB.ax

Yes, the BYD 2nd Gen Blade Battery is a lithium-based battery—specifically an advanced lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) variant of LFP (lithium iron phosphate) lithium-ion tech. It's cobalt- and nickel-free, ultra-safe (passes nail penetration without fire), with the claimed 10-70% charge in 5 minutes thanks to improved chemistry and structure. Solid upgrade for EVs!

Both variants utilize a 3.8V LMFP chemistry, significantly improving cold-weather performance at temperatures as low as -30°C. 👇 carnewschina.com/2026/03/10/byd…

Welcome to the new $FRB.ax website. Easier to access announcements, project updates and investor information, the new site is also home to The Manganese Feed, where we’ll keep you updated with the latest manganese battery chemistry news. 🔗 champ.ly/NxwbyMzJ $FRB

VIDEO: CEO Ron Mitchell explains why $FRB / $FRB.ax 's advanced manganese battery materials process is built to win on cost - and meet the next wave of battery demand. Full video: champ.ly/UtzHD3BW

In The Electric, Steve LeVine speaks with $FRB / $FRB.ax CEO Ron Mitchell on bringing China-developed manganese processing tech to Australia to scale battery-grade manganese & cathode materials. Full: champ.ly/k0kO1p8n

$FRB / $FRB.ax has secured an exclusive LMFP licence agreement 🔒 ⚡ 5 core LMFP patents ⚡ Global rights (ex-China) to 2045 ⚡ Approved by Chinese authorities incl. CNIPA ⚡ Strengthens IP & supports Aus Demo Plant Full #ASX announcement: champ.ly/cqsBsJ3y

Full ASX announcement here: champ.ly/cqsBsJ3y $FRB $FRB.ax

Big milestone for $FRB Chinese authorities have approved FRB’s exclusive licence to use 5 key LMFP battery-material patents held in China. Clearing the way for $FRB.ax to take our LMFP technology to the world, & to prove it at scale here in Australia through the planned ADP.

@AsxFrb ore to cathode technology will be one of the first western companies to efficiently produce #manganese chemicals for #batteries in the western world. @faw_global semi solid Li-Mn semi solid battery effectively puts the last nail in the ICE coffin.

@theevking @faw_global $FRB \ $FRB.ax is building a commercial pathway for its ore‑to‑cathode platform focused on high‑purity MnSO₄ for production of LMFP/LMR cathode materials. champ.ly/_PaYpiQV

#Manganese continues to emerge as a key next gen battery material. A must watch from @theevking, covering @faw_global's lithium‑manganese semi‑solid / liquid‑solid hybrid battery claim, a sign solid‑state tech is accelerating, and manganese-rich chemistries are gaining momentum.

RESEARCH REPORT: @MineLifeReport has initiated on $FRB / $FRB.ax , highlighting a manganese-rich battery strategy and near-term tech scale-up plans. Read the full report here: champ.ly/XLoC-KMe

VIDEO: CEO Ron Mitchell on why he joined $FRB. Forward-looking manganese battery materials tech, patented + proprietary, and a transformative year ahead, advancing the Australian Demonstration Plant (ADP) and executing a world-first. Watch $FRB.ax

BTS between meetings in Syd + Melb this week capturing some video content with Ron Mitchell, CEO of $FRB, while he met with investors, brokers, and key stakeholders across both cities. 2026 is pivotal for $FRB.ax as they bring the ADP online and prove their #manganese concentrate to cathode technology in a Western market. The timing couldn’t be more relevant. OEMs continue shifting toward higher-manganese battery chemistries, and demand accelerates for BESS and EVs, the need for scalable, credible battery materials solutions is only growing.

.@GM ‘hyper local’ strategy includes moving to manganese rich LMR cathodes. More Mn, less Ni/Co. That’s the direction $FRB / $FRB.ax is targeting with its ore to cathode LMFP/LMR platform. 🔗 More here: champ.ly/tsWfuqr5
