ASX Announcement
10 November 2021
. Mayur targets 100MWh of clean energy battery storage for PNG
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Mayur signs MoU with Australian-UK energy storage innovator Gelion Technologies for supply of zinc-bromide non-flow battery technology to PNG
-
MoU is for the provision of an initial 100-megawatt hours of energy storage for projects from 2022 to 2027
-
Mayur to be Gelion's sole distributor into the PNG market
Mayur Resources Limited (ASX:MRL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Australian-UK energy storage innovator Gelion Technologies (Gelion) for the provision of an initial 100-megawatt hours (MWh) of battery energy storage utilising Gelion’s safe, robust and scalable zinc-bromide non-flow battery storage technology. The intent of the MOU is to employ Gelion’s battery technology at Mayur’s renewable energy projects in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and to also make the technology available for other customers in PNG.
The MOU follows yesterday’s announcement by Mayur[1] confirming the potential for +500 megawatts (MW) of installed solar power capacity within its Special Economic Zone (SEZ) that also includes the Central Cement & Lime Project near Port Moresby.
Mayur Managing Director Mr Paul Mulder said the agreement with Gelion also delivers on the company’s recent Strategic Review[2] which set a clear pathway for the development of renewable energy projects and a carbon neutral cement and lime business.
“The MoU builds on our new strategic priorities to produce carbon neutral lime and cement, as well as develop our renewable energy portfolio, that includes provision of renewables to other industrial players who wish to lower their carbon footprint and improving access to electricity for the communities in which we operate in PNG,” Mr Mulder said.
Gelion’s battery technology is scalable and flexible making it suitable for various applications and configurations from large industrial loads (i.e. co-located with Mayur’s key projects such as CCL project) to smaller domestic requirements (i.e. provision of power to homes / communities).
Mr Mulder said Gelion is a battery technology pioneer with an international outlook that supports Mayur’s nation building vision for PNG.
“Only 13% of PNG is electrified. Most of the current power generation capacity relies on diesel or heavy fuel oil which is just not sustainable in today’s energy market.”
“It’s fantastic to get in on the ground floor with Gelion, which clearly has a bright future. With the vast majority of PNG’s population lacking access to affordable and reliable electricity, Gelion’s Endure batteries coupled with large

scale solar energy generation could provide remote PNG communities with an affordable, renewable and robust solution for their energy needs, also supporting the PNG Government’s commitment to achieve 70% electrification by 2030." Mr Mulder said.
Mr Mulder said Mayur would also act as Gelion’s distributor of the Endure battery to the PNG market, working with other “shop front” businesses.
Gelion Chief Executive Officer Mr Andrew Grimes said the deal was an important milestone for the company.
“Gelion's safe and heat-resistant batteries are ideal for PNG's tough conditions. We look forward to supplying Mayur with energy storage capability to support their operations and their community's sustainability objectives throughout the islands.” Mr Grimes said.
