Sign InInternational Battery Metals Ltd. has secured a $2.8 million private placement from EV Metals VII LLC, marking the fourth tranche of a strategic $15 million funding agreement for its modular direct lithium extraction (DLE) systems. Alongside this capital injection, the company has strengthened its leadership team by appointing Garrett Galloway, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, as an executive officer effective April 6, 2026. Mr. Galloway originally joined the firm in May 2025 to oversee growth initiatives and business development. The new funding will support the deployment of proprietary DLE technology essential for the electric vehicle battery market. This combination of financial backing and executive expansion validates the company's technical roadmap and operational strategy. While the placement may involve minor share dilution, it provides critical liquidity to accelerate the company's clean tech objectives.
