Toronto, Ontario July 10, 2018 – Golden Share Resources Corporation (“Golden Share” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Joysun New Energy Co., Ltd. (“Joysun”), a leading lithium-ion battery manufacturer in China with total annual production capacity of 2.4 gigawatt-hours (“GWh”; 1 GWh, being the equivalent of 1 billion watts for one hour).
Under this agreement, Joysun and Golden Share have agreed to jointly pursue the development of a rechargeable home battery system through ODM, or Original Design Manufacturing, based on Joysun’s lithium-ion battery. The development costs will be wholly funded by Golden Share and any Intellectual Property generated in the course of this work will be exclusively owned by Golden Share.
Joysun has been a lithium-ion battery manufacturer since 2012. Joysun’s research and development (R&D) center is located in Dongguan, Guangdong, together with a manufacturing facility with production capacity of 0.6 GWh per year. Joysun’s second manufacturing facility with production capacity of 1.8 GWh per year, which is located in Chenzhou, Hunan, recently initiated production following the completion of its construction, which lasted one year. Joysun’s lithium-ion battery is UL listed. Joysun is independently certified with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, for quality management and environmental management respectively. Joysun’s R&D team consists of approximately 50 scientists and engineers. Joyson presently holds 28 patents, and recently has applied for another 4.
As announced on April 17 and June 15, 2018, Golden Share intends to spin out its energy storage business into a United States-based new public entity (“New USCo”) that will seek to develop solutions and become a service provider for clean energy integrated with energy storage. The integration of proper energy storage technology is critical to making clean energy more viable, competitive and sustainable.
Golden Share continues to develop its Vanadium Redox Flow Battery, which may be best-suited to stationary grid applications but is probably too bulky for individual home application. Golden Share has therefore elected to pursue the partnership with Joysun described in this press release, so as to pursue the development of a rechargeable home battery system that would provide New USCo with a more complete range of products, with different battery technologies for different applications.
