Nuclear power is increasingly seen as the next-generation source to support the energy demands of computing and AI infrastructure while boosting energy independence and decarbonizing at scale – and nuclear needs storage

bGen™ installed in Italy with Enel – a major European utility company – is an application that can serve as a strong foundation for the continued development of Brenmiller’s thermal energy storage system for integration with nuclear SMRs

Potential for major safety improvements – bGen™ system architecture supports passive heat absorption, load following, and decay heat removal

ROSH HA‘AYIN, IL / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2025 / Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (Nasdaq:BNRG), a leading global provider of Thermal Energy Storage (“TES”) solutions for industrial and utility customers, announced today it is developing a new version of its bGen™ TES platform technology specifically for nuclear small modular reactors (“SMRs”).

SMRs produce up to 300 MW(e) of power, significantly smaller than traditional nuclear power plants, and are designed with modular components, offering greater flexibility and potentially lower costs. While reliable for baseload generation, SMRs lack the flexibility to meet dynamic grid demands – precisely the gap that bGen™ is designed to fill.

“The global shift toward electrification and clean heat requires not only innovation but also adaptability,” said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Brenmiller Energy. “We believe that our bGen™ system, already validated in real-world grid and industrial settings, is naturally suited to support SMR decarbonization with minimal modifications.”

Enel Project as Proof of Scalability & Resilience

Brenmiller’s bGen™ system has already been installed in Italy with Enel – a major European utility company – as part of a pilot project to decarbonize combined heat and power (“CHP”) operations. This project can serve as a strong development base for future TES units tailored for SMR.

Development Platform for Future SMR Integration

Unlike conventional nuclear storage integrations, Brenmiller’s solution provides a solid foundation that can be adapted and further developed to meet SMR requirements.

• bGen™’s inherent heat exchanger and high thermal mass are already optimized for interfacing with secondary or tertiary loops in nuclear systems

• System architecture supports passive heat absorption, load following, and decay heat removal

• These attributes pave the way for potential rapid deployment in SMR-linked projects

New Product Launch Coming Soon

Brenmiller will soon introduce a bGen™ configuration tailored for SMR and high-resilience industrial applications. This next-generation product retains Brenmiller’s signature flexibility, safety, and cost-effectiveness – while unlocking powerful new use cases in the nuclear and heavy industry domains.

Governments and Industry Driving Demand

• New executive orders from the U.S. Administration have fast-tracked SMRs and aim to significantly reform the U.S. nuclear industry

• A $900 million U.S. Department of Energy solicitation for SMRs was issued to support American energy and artificial intelligence (“AI”) dominance

• The World Bank recently reversed its prior ban on funding nuclear power and announced it will accelerate the approval of SMRs

• Several countries in Europe are reembracing nuclear power as a means of boosting energy independence and decarbonizing at scale, including Denmark, which is rethinking its 40-year nuclear ban, according to a report by CNBC in May 2025

About bGen™

bGen™ ZERO is Brenmiller’s TES system, which converts electricity into heat to power sustainable industrial processes at a price that is competitive with natural gas. The bGen™ ZERO charges by capturing low-cost electricity from renewables or the grid and stores it in crushed rocks. It then discharges steam, hot water, or hot air on demand according to customer requirements. The bGen™ ZERO also supports the development of utility-scale renewables by providing critical flexibility and grid-balancing capabilities. bGen™ ZERO was named among TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023 in the Green Energy category and won Gold in the Energy Storage and Management category at the 2025 Edison Awards.

About Brenmiller Energy Ltd.

Brenmiller Energy helps energy-intensive industries and power producers end their reliance on fossil fuel boilers. Brenmiller’s patented bGen™ ZERO thermal battery is a modular and scalable energy storage system that turns renewable electricity into zero-emission heat. It charges using low-cost renewable electricity and discharges a continuous supply of heat on demand and according to its customers’ needs. The most experienced thermal battery developer on the market, Brenmiller operates the world’s only gigafactory for thermal battery production and is trusted by leading multinational energy companies.

An Executive Q&A with American Rebel CEO Andy Ross, presented by Hawk Point Media

NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2025 / As consumer habits shift and cultural identity becomes a driving force in brand loyalty, one company is proving that values sell. And they sell fast. American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AREB) launched its flagship beverage, Rebel Light Beer, less than a year ago and is already racing up the ranks in retail distribution, digital sales, and cultural relevance.

Positioned as “America’s Patriotic Brand™,” the company has successfully fused lifestyle branding, motorsports marketing, and e-commerce momentum into a product that’s gaining national traction from both beer drinkers and brand believers. With retail presence in Total Wine & More, Minuteman Food Marts, major entertainment venues across the Southeast, and a digital footprint now shipping to over 40 states, American Rebel is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about emerging beer brands in the country.

Rebel Light beer is no ordinary entry into a crowded market. It was launched with intention and momentum, backed by a loyal fan base and a clear identity: patriotic, all-American, and fiercely independent. Plastered right on the can is a slogan that says it all: “America’s Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand Your Ground Beer.” We sat down with American Rebel CEO Andy Ross to talk about the explosive rise of Rebel Light, what fueled its July 4th surge, and what comes next.

HPM: Andy, Rebel Light has gone from launch to national attention seemingly overnight. What’s fueling this momentum?

AR: It’s the people, man. That’s where it starts and ends. We didn’t create Rebel Light in a boardroom. This beer was born in the heart of America-at racetracks, hunting camps, backyard barbecues, and concerts. What we tapped into wasn’t just a product opportunity-it was a cultural pulse. People are craving something that feels like it speaks for them. And Rebel Light’s doing that loud and clear.

We intentionally took a big swing combining all-natural brewing, a bold patriotic message, and a lifestyle built around faith, freedom, and family. Turns out, that’s not niche-that’s mainstream America. And the numbers prove it. We’ve gone from concept to multi-state retail presence in under a year, landed some of the biggest distributors in the country, and shipped beer to over 40 states. That doesn’t happen unless you’ve hit a nerve-and we hit it in the best way.

HPM: You’ve said this isn’t just about beer-it’s about a movement. What does that mean to you?

AR: It means we’re not just selling liquid in a can-we’re offering people a way to raise their glass to something they believe in. In a world full of generic brands trying to play both sides, we planted a flag. We said, “Here we are. This is who we are. And we’re proud of it.”

And people didn’t just notice-they rallied. They’re wearing the shirts, showing up to the events, tagging us online with their cans raised high. They’re not just customers-they’re part of the family now. That’s brand loyalty that can’t be faked or bought. It’s real. And it’s why I think American Rebel is one of the most undervalued consumer lifestyle stocks out there. We’re not building a beer company-we’re building America’s next household name.

HPM: That’s apparent. According to your recent company release, Rebel Light’s digital sales just skyrocketed. What happened?

AR: It was a mix of timing, tech, and truth. We always knew we had a great product and a message that resonated. But we later recognized the need to smooth out the path between discovery and delivery. So we brought in e-comm experts, rebuilt our checkout flow, introduced flat-rate shipping, and then, for July 4th, rolled out a free shipping promo. And boom.

Our website traffic jumped 4500%. Orders up 1000%. Bulk orders-48-packs-skyrocketed. And best of all? Repeat purchases climbed 72%. That tells you we’re not just drawing attention-we’re earning loyalty. Now we’re using that data to refine targeting, retarget lapsed customers, and convert brand fans into brand evangelists.

For investors, that’s a big deal. We’re not just a consumer products group company- we’re becoming a performance marketing machine with real-time feedback loops driving demand. That kind of leverage matters.

HPM: What’s the retail strategy going forward? You’ve landed some key store partnerships.

AR: We’re doubling down on regional dominance and channel diversity. We just locked in 62 Minuteman Food Marts across the Carolinas, a huge beer market with a deeply patriotic customer base. We’re in Total Wine & More, which gives us a premium footprint in key states. And we’re building relationships with independents and national chains at the same time.

The bigger goal is coverage and conversion. That means driving awareness through events and media, then giving customers easy local access to the product. The FOX campaign rolling out this summer is going to pour gas on that fire. And with our manufacturing partners like City Brewing and AlcSource, we can scale fast without sacrificing quality.

That’s what big brands are built on-capacity plus culture. We’ve got both.

HPM: Nashville seems to be a big part of the Rebel Light story. Why there?

AR: Because Nashville is American Rebel. It’s where my music career started. It’s where we launched the brand with a packed house at Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk. It’s where tourists from around the country pour into every weekend, looking for a taste of what this country is all about. And now they’re getting it in a can.

Rebel Light is being poured in every bar on Broadway-from Tootsies to Redneck Riviera to Whiskey Bent. It’s not just product placement, it’s cultural integration. And the feedback is real. Tourists ask where they can buy it back home. Bartenders say it outsells the other lights. And that Nashville momentum is rippling out into national distribution. For us, Nashville is the ignition switch that turned this race car of a business on, and the pace car has left the track.

HPM: Speaking of racing, how has motorsports played into Rebel Light’s growth?

AR: Motorsports is the ignition switch that put our brand into overdrive. These fans aren’t casual-they’re loyal. And they’re ours. We’ve sponsored NHRA events, plastered Rebel Light all over the Tony Stewart Racing cars, and performed live at national races. That’s not just sponsorship-that’s embedding the brand into people’s weekends, memories, and Instagram feeds.

At the Charlotte Motor Speedway, we were the #1 selling beer. Let that sink in. In a venue full of the biggest names in beer, fans chose Rebel Light. And when you combine that kind of demand with national distributors in attendance, it opens doors fast. Racing has put our brand in front of millions, and our team is turning that visibility into shelf space.

HPM: With this kind of growth, where do you see American Rebel headed in the next 12 months?

AR: I see a much bigger brand. I can support that projection knowing we laid the right kind of foundation, proven the demand, and secured the partnerships to drive our shelf presence. Now it’s about expansion- geographically, vertically, and emotionally.

Geographically, we want to be in every state. Vertically, we’re already expanding into merchandise, digital media, and new product lines. And emotionally, we’re anchoring ourselves as the lifestyle brand for patriotic Americans. Think beer, grills, coolers, tailgate gear, tools-you name it. If it’s red, white, and built to last, it should say American Rebel on it.

Let me say something to investors, too. Because you don’t need to drink alcohol to be part of the American Rebel family. In the consumer space right now, we’re one of the few small caps with a real brand narrative, real growth, and real cultural relevance. This isn’t a trend. This is a generational brand in the making. So yeah-I’d say keep your eye on AREB. We’re building something big, and the American people are building it with us.

HPM: Final thoughts? What do you want people-investors, consumers, or even skeptics-to take away from the Rebel Light story?

AR: Look, it’s simple: This brand was built in the trenches, not the lab. From music stages to race tracks to the backroads of America, we’ve built something that reflects the soul of this country. People are tired of being sold to by companies that don’t share their values. Rebel Light is different. It’s honest. It’s proud. It’s real.

And for the investors out there-this isn’t just a beer play. It’s not just lifestyle. It’s a convergence of culture, commerce, and community. It’s rare. And it’s working. Every case sold, every bar that signs on, every new state we enter-that’s momentum. That’s market validation. As for the skeptics, keep it coming. We still love you and more importantly, you make us work even harder.

We’re not chasing the American dream. We’re canning it. And I can promise you this: We’re only just beginning.

Intrepid Potash continues to Increase Potash Production as Potash Prices Continue to Rise

Anson Resources Builds on Successful Lithium Pilot at Green River with Commencement of Resource Conversion; 44% increase in LCE Grades and MOU with POSCO Holdings all Recently Announced

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2025 / American Critical Minerals Corp. (“American Critical Minerals” or the “Company“) (CSE:KCLI)(OTCQB:APCOF)(Frankfurt:2P3) is pleased to highlight recent positive developments reported by Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE: IPI) and Anson Resources Ltd. (ASX: ANS) at their respective Paradox Basin operations close to the Company’s flagship Green River Project.*

Management Commentary

Simon Clarke, President and CEO stated, “it is highly encouraging to see continuing increases in the Potash Price and to see the ongoing improvements that Intrepid Potash is implementing to optimize its operations with resulting increases in production and improved financial performance. As a near neighbor in the Paradox Basin and targeting the same potash cycles that are being produced by Intrepid at the Moab Mine utilizing latest horizontal solution mining techniques, we are highly encouraged to see strength not only in the Sector, but also in our backyard.

At the same time, Anson continues to make great progress developing and de-risking its lithium projects which could not be closer to our own Green River Project sandwiched between Anson’s two projects. It is now clear that this part of the Paradox Basin holds major amounts of contained lithium which can be successfully extracted to make battery grade lithium at potentially industry leading operating costs. We commend the work that Anson has done and continues to do quickly and efficiently, and we are pleased with our decision to lock up the lithium and bromine rights across our Project area and to ensure that we are permitted to drill for both Potash and Lithium and associated by products. While the process to secure potash permits did take several years, the evolution of the Paradox Basin as a major source of Lithium Brines over the same timeframe means we now have a Project rich in two critical minerals rather than just the original one.”

Potash In America / Recent Developments

Intrepid continues to be the only producer of Muriate of Potash (“MOP”) in the US, producing approximately 3.5% of US annual MOP Consumption. Intrepid was originally formed to acquire the potash operations in Moab in 2000 from the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan; the Moab mine was originally built in the 1960s and has operated for over 50 years. Intrepid was the first company to utilize horizontal drilling technology commonly used in the oil and gas industry to raise and stabilize potash production at Moab, Intrepid’s first operating mine. Intrepid continues to successfully utilize Solution Mining at Moab targeting Potash Cycles 5 and 9, the same cycles being targeted by American Critical Minerals at our Green River Potash and Lithium Project in close proximity to the Moab Mine. For full details on Intrepid and the above facts see: https://www.intrepidpotash.com*

Recent Potash Highlights*:

• Spot MOP prices have risen approx. 25% from $292 in December 2024 to $363.13 on June 30 2025, and continue to rise on increasing global demand and geopolitical events

  • Source http://ycharts.com

  • US reliance on imports (92% per USGS) and geopolitical issues have led to Potash being designated a Critical Mineral in the US

• Q1 2025 Results from Intrepid Potash show a 7% increase in potash production (93,000 tons) and a 39% surge in potash sales volumes (103,000 tons)

• Intrepid Potash continues to invest significantly in increasing production and optimizing its operations reflecting robust market demand

• For full details of Intrepid Potash Q2 Results see: https://investors.intrepidpotash.com/news/news-details/2025/Intrepid-Announces-First-Quarter-2025-Results/default.aspx

• With a focus on the same Potash Cycles as Intrepid, the Company has a 43-101 Exploration Target of 600 million to 1 billion tonnes of sylvinite (most important source for the production of potash in North America) with average grades ranging from 19% to 29% KCl.

A report titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report – Green River Potash Project, Grand County, Utah, USA”, prepared by Agapito Associates Inc., and dated effective September 12, 2012, quantifies the Green River Potash Project’s potash exploration potential in the form of a NI 43-101 Exploration Target. The Exploration Target estimate was prepared in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 –Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101“). It should be noted that Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define them as Mineral Resources, and, while reasonable potential may exist, it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource under NI 43-101. The Exploration Target stated in the Agapito Report is not being reported as part of any Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve. A copy of the report can be accessed on the corporate website for the Company: www.acmineralscorp.com.

Neighboring Lithium Activity

Anson has been exploring and developing its lithium projects in the Paradox Basin for over 6 years. The Company’s Green River Project is sandwiched between the Anson Paradox Project adjacent to the Company’s land to the South and since 2023, Anson’s Green River Project which is contiguous with the Company’s land to the North. Anson published a DFS on its Paradox Basin Project on which it has a JORC Mineral Resource of 366,737 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in the indicated category at a grade of 123 ppm Li and 1,137,500 tonnes inferred at a grade of 109ppm Li, and 1,910,000 tonnes of Bromine in the indicated category and 5,698,700 tonnes inferred at a grade of 2,915 ppm Br.

Anson started building out its Green River Project in 2023 and has an Exploration Target for the Project of 1.1-1.6 Billion Tonnes of Brine Grading 100-150 ppm Li (Source: https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/ASN/02890607.pdf ). It also completed and announced results of a highly successful Pilot with Koch Technology Solutions in March 2025. While American Critical Minerals has been focused on permitting potash licenses in recent years, it has been impressed with the de-risking steps taken by Anson and consequently acquired 1094 Placer claims over the entirety of its Green River Project in 2024 to ensure it also has the rights to Lithium and Bromine across its Project. Based on historical well logs and data, it is clear that the same brines that Anson is developing underpin the Company’s Green River Project and Lithium is now a major target for the Company in addition to Potash. Its recent drill permits enable the Company to target both potash and lithium in each hole it drills. For full details on Anson Resources and the above facts see: https://ansonresources.com

Recent Lithium Highlights:

• On June 13, 2025, Anson announced initial JORC Resource from its Green River Project as it starts converting its large Exploration Target to Resources*:

  • For full details see: https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/ASN/02956505.pdf

• On June 17, 2025, Anson announced44% Higher Lithium Values at Green River Lithium Project after Aquifers Open Up*:

  • Higher-grade aquifers “open up” as well is cleaned by brine extraction process

  • Grades averaged 135mg/l Li – 44% higher than originally reported in maiden JORC Resource

  • In comparison to other lithium brines, Anson confirmed that the contaminants that are hardest to reject are in low concentrations in the Green River Brine – making processing easier

  • Confirmation that the Mississippian Units are a massive brine aquifer rich in lithium,

  • For full details see: https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/ASN/02957299.pdf

• On June 30, 2025, Anson announced signing an MOU to develop a large scale DLE demonstration plant at Green River with POSCO Holdings.

About American Critical Minerals’ Green River Potash and Lithium Project

The Green River Potash and Lithium Project is situated within Utah’s highly productive Paradox Basin, located 20 miles northwest of Moab, Utah and has significant logistical advantages including close proximity to major rail hubs, airport, roads, water, towns and labour markets. It also benefits from close proximity to the agricultural and industrial heartland of America and numerous potential end-users for its products.

The history of oil and gas production across the Paradox Basin provides geologic data from historic wells across the Project, and the wider Basin, validating and de-risking the potential for high grade potash and large amounts of contained lithium. Wells in and around the project reported lithium up to 500 ppm, bromine up to 6,100 ppm and boron up to 1,260 ppm (Gilbride & Santos, 2012). This data is reinforced by nearby potash production and the advanced stage of neighbouring lithium projects. The Paradox Basin is believed to contain up to 56 billion tonnes of lithium brines, potentially the largest such resource in US (Source: Anson Fastmarkets Presentation – https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/ASN/02823465.pdf ).The Company also has a 43-101 Exploration Target of 600 million to 1 billion tonnes of sylvinite (the most important source for the production of potash in North America) with average grades ranging from 19% to 29% KCL.**

The Company holds a 100% interest in eleven State of Utah (SITLA) mineral and minerals salt leases covering approximately 7,050 acres, 1,094 federal lithium brine claims (BLM Placer Claims) covering 21,150 acres, and 11 federal (BLM) potash prospecting permits covering approximately 25,480 acres. Through these leases, permits and claims the Company has the ability to explore for potash, lithium and potential by-products across the entire Green River Project (approx. 32,530 acres). The Company is authorized to drill a total of 7 exploratory drill holes across the Project (pending bonding the recently approved 4 drill holes).

Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE: IPI) is America’s largest potash company and only U.S. domestic potash producer and currently produces potash from its nearby Moab Solution Mine, which the Company believes provides strong evidence of stratigraphic continuity within this part of the Paradox Basin (www.intrepidpotash.com). Anson Resources Ltd. (ASX: ASN) has advanced lithium development projects contiguous to the northern boundary of our Green River Project and neighbouring to the south. Anson has a large initial resource, robust definitive feasibility study and has recently completed successful piloting operations through its partnership with Koch Technology Solutions, as well as an offtake agreement with LG Energy Solution. The Anson exploration targets encompass the combined Mississippian Leadville Formation and the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation brine-bearing clastic layers, which also underlie American Critical Minerals’ entire project area (www.ansonresources.com)*.

In 2022, the U.S. imported approx. 96.5% of its annual potash requirements with domestic producers receiving a higher sales price due to proximity to market (intrepidpotash.com/ August 15, 2024, Investor Presentation). In March 2024, the US Senate introduced a bill to include key fertilizers and potash on the US Department of Interior list of Critical Minerals which already includes lithium. Recent market estimates suggest that the global potash market is over US$50 billion annually and growing at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR“) of close to 5%. Annual lithium demand is now estimated to be over 1 million tonnes globally and continuing to grow rapidly.***

Highlights:

• BNEF projects global demand for LFP CAM in regions outside China to grow 5x by 2035.

• Nano One aligned with global leaders on critical mineral processing and energy infrastructure investment to prioritize resilient, localized supply chains.

• IEA names Nano One an LFP innovator in 2025 Outlook, citing China’s grip on iron-sulphate inputs and rising urgency to diversify supply chains.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2025 / (TSX:NANO)(OTC:NNOMF)(Frankfurt:LBMB)

Nano One® Materials Corp. (“Nano One”), a process technology company specializing in lithium-ion battery cathode active materials (CAM), affirms its strategic vision and market potential for easy-to-permit, rapidly scalable, and localized production of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) CAM.

“There is tremendous market opportunity in LFP,” stated Mr. Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One, in a recent video interview¹, “and the key to capturing market share lies in process innovation. We purpose-built our One-Pot™ Process to simplify production and address the very issues the world is now trying to solve-cost, supply chain bottlenecks, permitting, localization, and scale. One-Pot eliminates wastewater and dependence on China’s iron sulphate, laying a sustainable foundation for easy-to-permit LFP plants that could unlock industrial growth potential in the West. We have vertically integrated precursor and cathode production to position Nano One competitively on the world stage and our design-one-build-many licensing strategy is intended to drive widescale adoption, economies of scale, and much needed supply chain diversification.”

According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s (BNEF) 2024 CAM market report², global CAM demand is projected to reach 5.9 TWh by 2035. LFP CAM is expected to capture 52% of market share-a threefold increase over BNEF’s 2021 projections³. Although China currently holds ~95% of global LFP production capacity, demand in the rest of the world (RoW) is expected to more than double that of China by 2035.

RoW demand for LFP is projected to grow fivefold, driven primarily by electric vehicles (EV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS). At the same time, governments are streamlining policies to incentivize localization of supply chains and investment in critical mineral refining and processing to meet projected growth.

Under Canada’s 2025 G7 presidency, leaders adopted the Global Critical Minerals Action Plan⁴, pledging to “catalyze public and private investment in minerals, including through innovation and licensing” and to build “responsible critical mineral processing” capacity across jurisdictions. The plan also emphasized “defense, clean energy, and digital technologies” as key sectors shaping demand and strategic priorities. At the 2025 Canada-EU Summit⁵, both parties signed joint commitments to co-invest in critical mineral infrastructure, with an emphasis on defence and AI infrastructure localization to enhance resilience and reduce strategic dependencies. Canada also reaffirmed its pledge to meet NATO’s new 5% of GDP defence spending target by 2035.

These coordinated efforts reflect a growing consensus: building a competitive and resilient battery supply chain will require process innovation, coordinated investment, and speed of execution to reduce dependencies that make the world vulnerable to market volatility and global disruption. The International Energy Agency’s Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025⁶ echoed this, naming Nano One among a select group of companies developing “alternative methods of producing LFP” to “reduce dependency on Chinese supply chains.”

The IEA Outlook also highlighted that “iron sulphate is a by-product of titanium dioxide production where China is the leading producer. As a result, key material inputs are available in China at very low cost, which is difficult to replicate in other parts of the world. China supplies 95% of high-purity manganese sulphate and 75% of battery-grade PPA (purified phosphoric acid) and securing these materials from alternative sources is currently challenging and often comes at a higher cost. These cost premiums will remain unless there are significant efforts to build diversified supply sources for these materials.”

“We are honoured to be shortlisted by the IEA as an LFP innovator,” said Mr. Blondal, “and we are encouraged by their recognition of the very same supply challenges that we are aiming to address. We are working closely with governments and our clients to de-bottleneck, de-risk and re-patriate the LFP supply chain, to fortify our energy security, and to add shareholder value. Thanks to the most experienced LFP production team and the only manufacturing facility outside of Asia, we are currently sampling, demonstrating, and collaborating with partners in North America, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific.We are targeting first commercial license agreements to address the imminent need for localized battery materials in the global energy transition by offering a viable, proven solution.“

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2025 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC), a leader in drone technology and component manufacturing, has promoted Stacy Wright to Executive Vice President of Revenue. In this expanded role, she will lead revenue strategy and performance across all business units as the company accelerates growth, expands U.S. manufacturing, and increases domestic hiring.

Stacy joined Rotor Riot in 2020 as Vice President and was promoted to President in 2024 following its acquisition by Unusual Machines. She has been instrumental in scaling operations and laying the foundation for sustained growth. At the time she joined, Rotor Riot’s annual revenue stood at $1.7 million. In Q1 2025, the company surpassed $2 million in quarterly revenue for the first time in its history-capping five straight quarters of record-breaking performance.

“Stacy has shown exceptional stewardship of both our products and our people,” said Andrew Camden, Chief Operating Officer of Unusual Machines. “She brings structure to fast-moving environments and knows how to scale without losing focus. Her leadership has been critical to our momentum in the consumer drone market-and it will be even more impactful as we expand into the enterprise, defense, and STEM sectors. With the launch of our U.S.-based motor production facility in Orlando, she’s the right leader to drive commercial strategy and market adoption in high-compliance industries.”

In her new role, Stacy will oversee the integration of all revenue-generating functions-including sales, marketing, pricing strategy, fulfillment, and customer experience-across brands such as Rotor Riot, Fat Shark, and Brave Line. A key part of her mandate includes leading the go-to-market strategy for Unusual Machines’ new 17,000-square-foot Orlando facility, which anchors its investment in NDAA-compliant, U.S.-built drone motors and components.

“Rotor Riot and Fat Shark have given us a strong foundation to build from,” said Stacy. “There’s no more demanding customer than the freestyle drone pilot whose goal is to build, fly, crash, and repeat. That expectation for performance and durability has shaped our products for over a decade-it’s the same standard driving our approach to U.S.-based component manufacturing. The early success of Brave electronics proved we can deliver, and investing in domestic motor production isn’t just a growth opportunity for Unusual Machines-it’s a necessary step forward for the industry. I’m honored to help lead that charge.”

A seasoned operator and growth strategist, Stacy brings more than 25 years of experience in business development and operations. She’s known for blending a deep passion for emerging technology with a hands-on, builder’s mindset-especially when it comes to cultivating high-performance teams and scaling dynamic ecosystems.
