- Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV:COS) is a Canadian junior mining company focused on the exploration and development of nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum group metals and other critical minerals primarily for the electric vehicle battery market; it holds 100% interest in the Graal property, a 6,113-hectare nickel-copper-cobalt project with high-grade polymetallic mineralization along a 6 km strike length located approximately 160 km northwest of Saguenay in northern Québec, Canada. The company pursues a feed-first strategy that includes toll processing services for third-party ore concentrates using its proprietary Re-2Ox hydrometallurgical technology, which enables efficient extraction of battery metals from ores, tailings, recycled batteries and other sources without generating gases or discharges; it also advances Metals-as-a-Service (MaaS), a platform connecting commodity traders with responsible critical metals suppliers, and targets silver and arsenic production for solar cells and LED displays. Founded in 2021 as a spin-out from Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc., Coniagas Battery Metals maintains headquarters at 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, with operations centered in Québec along the North American battery corridor near St. Lawrence Seaway ports. Recent developments include a strategic partnership with SGS in 2024 for testing sustainable battery metals extraction technologies, a research collaboration with Université du Québec à Chicoutimi in August 2025 to study Ni-Cu mineralization at Graal, receipt of drilling permits in September 2025, revocation of a management cease trade order in July 2025, granting of 1.3 million stock options in November 2025, appointment of François Vézina as director in November 2025, launch of an HTDEM survey at Graal in November 2025, and announcement of up to $1 million LIFE private placement offering in December 2025 to fund Graal advancement alongside a financial advisory agreement with Research Capital Corporation.
