American Battery Metals Corporation Receives Unanimous Approval for Conditional Use Permit for Lithium Battery Recycling Pilot Plant
- Received approval from the City of Fernley Planning Commission for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a lithium battery recycling plant at last night’s monthly commission meeting.

Trader Notes
ABML has been bouncing along this 1.45/1.46 support area for a few days. The question is where does it go from here. Late April ABML had a nice little rally from $1 to $2 dollars. A 100% move. The stock has now given up 50% of those gains which is a significant Fibonacci retracement area. Was $1 a low and this is a leg up or just a continuation of the long slide down. Potential pivot points are 1.67, 1.76 and 1.94 above and .149 (we are on it) 1.40 and 1.22 below. It would appear that ABML is running out of energy. We will see if the stock holds at this very minor support area or heads lower.
