A prospective New York footprint could add domestic optionality to the Company's international mineral strategy
WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 22, 2026 / ELEKTROS Inc. (OTC PINK:ELEK) (the "Company"), a publicly traded company, today highlighted its strategic interest in evaluating prospective lithium-bearing sites in northern New York near the Canadian border. The Company believes a carefully developed domestic mineral initiative could eventually complement its Sierra Leone activities and its electric-mobility strategy. These considerations remain exploratory.
A New Geographic Dimension
ELEKTROS Inc. is interested in assessing possible lithium-bearing sites in northern New York, near the Canadian border. The initiative is an exploratory area of interest, not an announcement of a mineral discovery, property acquisition or mining operation. Management sees potential value in investigating whether an American location could one day complement its Sierra Leone lithium initiative.
The Case for Proximity
A successful domestic project could place certain mining and processing activities closer to U.S. industrial customers. In a suitable commercial setting, shorter transport routes might reduce reliance on overseas freight and exposure to tariffs applicable to imported material. These benefits would depend on actual geology, processing routes, customer demand, costs and applicable trade rules.
From Interest to Evidence
The immediate priority would be disciplined evaluation: identifying possible properties, reviewing mineral ownership, consulting qualified geologists, arranging appropriate sampling and determining whether further study is justified. No specific deposit, resource estimate, property rights or development schedule has been established.
A Perspective on National Priorities
Lithium is an important input in rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles, energy storage and certain defense applications. Federal initiatives have sought to strengthen U.S. critical-minerals and battery supply chains, although government support is competitive and project-specific. Reporting by Reuters and Bloomberg has discussed U.S. efforts to develop domestic mineral resources; neither outlet is being represented as endorsing ELEKTROS.
Chief Executive Officer Perspective
"Our ambition is to pursue every responsible avenue that could strengthen ELEKTROS and create lasting value for our shareholders. We will continue to work relentlessly, evaluate opportunities carefully and pursue the milestones needed to build a meaningful enterprise," said Shlomo Bleier, Chief Executive Officer.
