American Battery Technology Delivers First Tonopah Flats Lithium Samples for Analysis
However, at the same time, it should not be ignored that the stock has been in decline for some time and yesterday’s selloff took the decline in the past week to as much as 12%. On Wednesday, the company was actually in the news after it made an announcement with regards to the fact that it had concluded its drilling activities on the first group of sampling locations.
American Battery Technology Company also announced that it had also submitted the samples that it had collected from the Tonopah Flats Lithium Exploration Project for the purpose of high throughout screening analysis.
It is quite clear to see that it was a significant development for American Battery Technology Company but it couldn’t really make an impression on investors, who continued to be pessimistic about the stock. It is now going to be interesting to see if the stock can engineer a turnaround at any point.
