Seeking investment value of $5,000,000

Project Summary (Excerpt)

The investment supports the commercial deployment and scaling of battery-electric heavy mining equipment retrofits. Capital will be used to accelerate the transition from successful prototype development to revenue-generating fleet deployment, enabling the delivery of low-emission mining equipment that reduces operating costs, diesel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. The funding forms part of a broader capital strategy combining private investment, customer contracts, grant funding, and project finance.


Project Description

The project involves the conversion and deployment of large-scale mining equipment from diesel to battery-electric operation using proprietary electrification technology. Funding supports engineering, manufacturing, testing, commissioning, and commercial deployment of an electric 100-ton dump truck and an electric 50-ton wheel loader, as well as the development of associated charging and energy infrastructure where required. The project builds on proven engineering work and existing customer demand for lower-cost, lower-emission mining equipment solutions.


Investment Opportunity Details

The opportunity provides exposure to the rapidly growing mining decarbonisation market through a business that has demonstrated technical capability, secured customer engagement, established strategic partnerships, and attracted significant competitive grant funding.
