- Business
- AC/DC Battery Metals Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of nickel-focused battery metal properties, with its principal project centered in central and north-central British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia, the company targets nickel mineralization for use in electric vehicle and battery supply chains and describes its business as advancing properties in a region supported by road, rail and hydroelectric infrastructure. Its core activities include mineral property acquisition and optioning; nickel exploration and advancement; geological prospecting and drilling assessment; and evaluation of development alternatives for its nickel project. The company’s project portfolio has included copper mineral claims as well as nickel properties, but it has recently streamlined its asset base through the disposition of a copper property to Grid Battery Metals Inc. in March 2025, following the purchase and sale agreement announced in August 2024. In April 2026, AC/DC Battery Metals adopted semi-annual financial reporting, reflecting a reporting and operational shift under Canadian venture issuer rules. In 2024, the company completed a $2.0 million private placement, received final approval for a TSX Venture Exchange listing, commenced trading on the TSXV under ACDC, and obtained a new OTCQB listing and U.S. trading eligibility, while earlier corporate disclosures identified the company as a subsidiary spin-out of Grid Battery Metals Inc.
