American Energy Technologies are mentioned in the VRC 'ESD Conference Call'.
"Volt has completed its testwork, initial flowsheet design and equipment
selection for CSPG production with its technology partner American Energy
Technologies Co. (“AETC”)"
https://www.usaenergytech.com/
"Volt has engaged with ESD’s construction manager, Yates Construction, on the
equipment layout and utilities required for Volt to produce CSPG"
I tried finding Yates Construction
https://www.wgyates.com/https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_or/106905599https://yatesconstruction.ourcareerpages.com/I'm not sure what to make of either American EnergyTechnologies or Yates construction.
- not an engineering company I've seen design/building process plants before.
- does not appear to have construction experience in Eu or Ukrain region previously.
I'm particularly cynical of the ability of explorers to transform from explorers to miners to process plant operators, despite the multitude of companies that claim to have ability to commercialise their drill results into processed product.
throwing this out to see if others have identified risk in this area, and feedback on how volt compare with other companies in their approach.
ie: I've noticed in other battery materials suppliers, their use of recognised engineering firms to produce their capex and feasability studies. This appears to be lacking in volt. again - not the end of the world but my caution note.
