March 27, 2026

1414 Degrees has secured firm commitments to raise $2.69 million (before costs) through a placement to sophisticated and institutional investors.

The funding will support near-term commercial and technical milestones across the Company’s integrated clean energy platform, with a focus on the Aurora Energy Precinct and SiNTL™ battery materials program.

Advancing Aurora

Funds will be used to progress Aurora’s transmission connection, a key step in enabling the approved 140 MW / 280 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

The Company will also move to regain 100% ownership and control of the Aurora Precinct, positioning the project for further development and customer engagement.

Aurora remains a strategically located energy and industrial site designed to support firmed renewable electricity for high-demand users, including industrial and energy-intensive operations.

Progressing SiNTL

Alongside Aurora, the Company will continue advancing its SiNTL™ silicon anode materials program, including:

  • scale-up activities

  • preparation for customer engagement

  • ongoing performance development

This work is aimed at positioning SiNTL within the growing market for higher energy density lithium-ion batteries.

Integrated platform

1414 Degrees continues to develop its broader platform across:

  • grid-scale battery storage (BESS)
  • thermal energy storage (SiBox®)
  • hydrogen and carbon production (SiPHyR®)
  • advanced battery materials (SiNTL™)

These technologies are designed to work together, leveraging silicon-based systems to store, convert and enhance energy across industrial applications.

Executive Chairman Dr Kevin Moriarty said,

“This Placement enables us to progress key near-term milestones across both Aurora and SiNTL, with a clear focus on commercial outcomes.

At Aurora, we are advancing transmission connection and customer engagement, while our SiNTL program continues to move toward market-facing milestones.

With multiple workstreams underway, the Company is entering a period of increased activity across both infrastructure and technology development.”
