(“Nano One” or the “Company”) (TSX: NANO) (OTCQB: NNOMF) (Frankfurt: LBMB), a process technology company specializing in lithium-ion battery cathode active materials (CAM), is pleased to provide a further progress update on its lithium iron phosphate (LFP) production capacity expansion project at its Candiac Facility, which will increase total production capacity to approximately 800 tonnes per annum (tpa).“Having now attained 85% completion as of mid-July, we expect to complete the project on time and on budget,” states Denis Geoffroy, Chief Operating Officer of Nano One.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Please try again, the Company is pleased to report that detailed engineering is now 85% complete as of mid-July 2026 and that the expansion project remains on schedule.Major equipment purchase orders were completed in March 2026; some equipment has been shipped, with initial deliveries already received at the Candiac Facility. Vendors for the balance of smaller equipment have been selected, with final purchase orders expected to be completed by the end of August 2026. Approximately 95% of the project’s equipment, measured by procurement cost—and 100% of IP-sensitive equipment—is being sourced from Canada, the US and the EU. The project remains on track with commissioning of the newly expanded production capacity targeted for the first half of 2027.“Having now attained 85% completion as of mid-July, we expect to complete the project on time and on budget,” states Denis Geoffroy, Chief Operating Officer of Nano One.“Our currently contracted funding programs, for which we have approximately $24 million left undrawn*, together with our working capital, fund this capital project to completion.”Existing Production and Scale-Up at Candiac The Candiac Facility demonstrates the One-Pot™ process in full-scale, production-intent equipment, de-risking adoption and enabling Nano One’s Design One Build Many licensing and joint-venture model. The expansion integrates and automates an existing full-scale 20m³ reactor whose design can be replicated in modular fashion. Alongside this, the lines generate commercial sales and support customer sample qualification, product and process improvement and raw material validation.The Candiac Facility includes multiple front-end One-Pot production lines feeding shared downstream processing equipment, each designed for a distinct role, with total facility capacity of approximately 800 tpa once the expansion is commissioned:~200 tpa Pilot Line—supports sample validation to secure and supply smaller-volume offtakes for defence and energy storage system customers, running smaller batches that reduce cost and enable continuous product and process improvement~800 tpa Demonstration Line—commissioning targeted for the first half of 2027, bringing total capacity to approximately 800 tpa and enabling C-sample product qualification at the larger volumes required for larger customer offtakesA product C-sample is required to demonstrate production readiness and generally consists of several 1-tonne batches. The objective is to provide comfort to end customers that the material can be produced repeatably at or near production scale, off production-intent equipment and processes, with the quality control and assurance systems in place.Design One Build Many—Licensing and Partnerships Nano One’s Design One Build Many model lowers the barrier to technology adoption. A cathode producer can adopt One-Pot technology without the inherent lead times and upfront capital required to build its own Demonstration Line, and the cell manufacturers it supplies keep working with existing supply chain partners. The licensing model is flexible: customers with a preferred engineering vendor can license the One-Pot technology directly from Nano One and engineer the production line through to a final investment decision, while those seeking a more complete solution can procure the integratedThe CAM Package provides a feasibility-level One-Pot production line with pre-qualified equipment vendors and raw material feedstocks, and Worley’s technology solutions team supports project execution and deployment, helping customers de-risk their investment. Both paths are backed by the Candiac Facility, where customers can run sample validation cycles to secure large-volume offtakes before building a plant of their own, supported by operator training built on Nano One’s LFP manufacturing know-how—reducing start-up cost and risk.* As of the Company’s most recent Q1 2026 Public FilingsNano One® Materials Corp. (Nano One) is a process technology company changing how cathode active materials (CAMs) are produced for lithium-ion batteries. Nano One’s platform is built on a portfolio of patented processes, decades of manufacturing know-how and modular plant designs that enable scalable, cost-competitive and easier-to-permit CAM production with resilient supply chains. The technology eliminates wastewater and byproducts while enabling regionally sourced raw materials and reducing exposure to foreign supply chain volatility. Modular plants are designed with fewer steps to reduce capex, energy and environmental intensity and to accelerate deployment, manufacturing and licensing. Product development and process optimization are based at Nano One’s Innovation Centre in Burnaby, British Columbia while piloting, demonstration and commercial production are based in Candiac, Québec, supported by a team with more than 15 years of commercial cathode manufacturing experience supplying global cell manufacturers. Strategic collaborations with global partners including Sumitomo Metal Mining, Rio Tinto and Worley support Nano One’s Design-One-Build-Many growth strategy. Nano One has received funding support from the Governments of Canada, the United States, Québec and British Columbia.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.For more information, please visit nanoOne.ca.Cautionary Notes and Forward-Looking StatementsCertain information contained herein may constitute “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Generally, all statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the timing, cost, scope and completion of the Candiac Facility expansion and the commissioning of approximately 800 tpa of capacity in the first half of 2027; the expectation that the project will be completed on time and on budget and funded to completion from contracted funding programs (including approximately $24 million of undrawn funding) together with working capital; the expected benefits and performance of the One-Pot™ process; the ability of the expanded capacity to support large-volume sampling, customer qualification, offtakes, plant design licensing and joint-venture opportunities; and the Company’s “Design One Build Many” strategy and its collaborations with Sumitomo Metal Mining, Rio Tinto and Worley. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “intend”, “continue”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “ongoing”, “target”, “targeted”, “potential” or variations of such words, or statements that certain actions, events or results “will” occur.Forward-looking statements are based on the current opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made and are not, and cannot be, a guarantee of future results or events.
