Ann: Next-Battery Ramps Up Development, page-4

I agree. I'm glad that Kamola is happening, but it is the battery tech that will put rocket boosters under the share price, assuming that they deliver.

Key points:

1. MOU with a Ukrainian region with nearly 2 million population.

2. Talks about manufacturing electric cars in Ukraine, powered by Next Battery tech

3. Strategic discussions with car and battery manufacturers already happening.

4. Work on solid state batteries commencing

5. Technology to "shortly demonstrate a major improvement in the specific energy of a lithium-ion battery.

6. Fully working lab that Maurice has visited.

All of this stuff is major. If they can deliver then the Hipo investment in Next Battery will go down as a stroke of genius. Hipo may have been slow with Kamola, but they appear to be making massive progress with the battery side of things. This is a serious project and regardless of what is happening in the wider stock markets a major battery technology breakthrough will make it' owners a fortune - as people are always going to want phones, tablets, laptops, power tools and electric cars.

I love the lab photos too.Surely it can't be long now until the market realises the potential that Hipo has a share of here.
