ELEKTROS Pursues Due Diligence Near the Canadian Border","author":"ACCESSWIRE","published_at":"2026-10-25T21:55:00.728Z","article_body":"WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire (https://www.accessnewswire.com/) /\nOctober 25, 2026 / Ambition Meets Due Diligence\n\nPublicly traded ELEKTROS Inc. (OTC PINK:ELEK) is taking a closer look at a\nprospective hard-rock lithium opportunity in northern New York, on the U.S.\nside of the Canadian border. The Company believes the idea deserves careful\nstudy, while stressing that no acquisition has closed and no mineral resource\nhas been verified.\n\nThe Appeal of Producing Closer to Home\n\nIf a viable mine were established, American-origin material could potentially\nreach U.S. processors without overseas shipping containers or customs release\nprocedures for imported ore. Certain import tariff costs might also be\navoided. Project economics, permitting, environmental obligations, refining\naccess and domestic transportation remain significant hurdles.\n\nFrom Automotive Batteries to National Resilience\n\nLithium's role in electric vehicles, storage and select defense and aerospace\ntechnologies makes secure supply chains an important policy and industrial\nsubject. ELEKTROS would welcome the possibility of eventually participating in\nthat ecosystem, but has no U.S. military purchase order, contract or\ngovernment award.\n\nThe EV Charging Connection\n\nSeparately, the Company continues evaluating potential development\nrelationships for its multi-port charging patent, U.S. Patent No. 12,522,100\nB1. A working commercial system, market adoption and revenue are not assured.\n\nIndustry Reporting: Bloomberg, Reuters and Benzinga\n\nBloomberg reported in June 2026 on U.S. Army-related mineral-processing\narrangements involving companies including EnergyX and ioneer. Bloomberg also\nreported that a proposed Defense Logistics Agency lithium purchase\nsolicitation was subsequently canceled; it should not be interpreted as an\nactive order. Reuters reported in September 2023 on a $90 million Pentagon\ngrant to Albemarle connected with its Kings Mountain lithium project in North\nCarolina, and in August 2026 on broader U.S. mineral and battery-material\ninitiatives. Benzinga discussed the capital demands of lithium mine\ndevelopment and the position of U.S. producers in October 2026. These industry\nreports describe other companies and programs; none indicates a contract,\naward or endorsement for ELEKTROS.\n\nNext Steps\n\nELEKTROS expects any further consideration to involve checking ownership and\nmineral rights, geological data, independent sampling, environmental and\npermitting requirements, infrastructure, refining access, financing and\ntransaction terms. No acquisition, production timetable or economic resource\nestimate is guaranteed.\n\nShareholders and Market Perspective\n\nThe festive image of Santa Claus arriving early in October captures the\nexcitement of markets, but it is not a verified statement that all major\nindices are at record highs or that ELEK is attractively priced. ELEKTROS\nappreciates the interest of speculative microcap investors, thanks its\nshareholders and remains grateful to Almighty God as management pursues\nverifiable progress.\n\nAbout ELEKTROS Inc.\n\nELEKTROS Inc. is publicly traded under OTC ticker symbol ELEK and pursues\nopportunities in hard-rock lithium, EV charging infrastructure and patented EV\ncharging technology. The prospective New York property is not an acquired or\nproducing asset.\n\nForward-Looking Statements and Important Risk Disclosure\n\nThis release includes forward-looking statements under applicable securities\nlaws. Statements about property acquisition, mineralization, resources,\nmining, processing, logistics or tariff savings, future U.S. automotive,\naerospace or defense sales, government opportunities, financing, EV charging\ntechnology, prototypes, licensing and market conditions reflect expectations,\nnot guarantees. No completed New York acquisition, independently verified\nmineral resource or reserve, feasibility study, mining permit, operating mine,\nproduction schedule, military contract, refinery supply agreement or\ncommercial charging prototype is announced. Risks include geological\nuncertainty, property title, mineral rights, environmental regulation,\npermits, capital constraints, commodity prices, refining capacity, transport\ncosts, tariffs, counterparties, technology development, competition and market\nvolatility. ELEK is a speculative microcap security, and investors may lose\nsome or all of their investment.
