Mr. Lazaros Nikeas reports BATTERY MINERAL RESOURCES CORP. PROVIDES UPDATE ON ESI ENERGY SERVICES INC. Battery Mineral Resources Corp. has provided an update to its shareholders on its wholly owned subsidiary, ESI Energy Services Inc. About ESI Energy Services Inc. ESI, which operates under the brand, Ozzie's Inc., is a designer and manufacturer of specialized construction equipment serving both the renewable and conventional energy sectors. Headquartered in Phoenix, Ariz., Ozzie's provides equipment leasing, sales and manufacturing solutions that support large-scale infrastructure construction across solar, wind, oil and gas, and utility markets. Following another year of solid performance, ESI is targeting revenue of approximately $22-million for 2025. This would be approximately a 30-per-cent increase over 2024 and the highest since 2008. The company has continued to deliver strong margins year to date driven by steady demand across its core product lines and growing industry activity in renewable energy applications. As part of its continuing investment in product innovation, Ozzie's is proud to announce the development of the Ozzie's Omni Crawler -- a versatile, scalable and autonomous tracked vehicle solution. The Omni Crawler is expected to combine remote operator control and advanced autonomous perception in a single, adaptive platform that delivers precision, efficiency and reduced on-site labour requirements in demanding environments. The platform's modular architecture and dual attachment are expected to allow for easy integration supporting a full range of attachments, including Ozzie's proprietary tooling, third party solutions and commercially available compact track loader implements. Currently, the Omni Crawler is being designed to pair with Ozzie's own already-marketed OMR-50 Module Rotator and OMH-40 Module Handler, purpose built attachments for large-scale solar installation. Its adaptable design is expected to also support the high-demand areas of battery storage construction, data centre development and other utility-scale projects. ESI remains focused on advancing innovation, expanding international sales, and introducing new products that enhance efficiency and safety in energy infrastructure development and the rapidly expanding data centre construction market, where Ozzie's specialized equipment and autonomous platforms are especially well equipped to meet the increasing demand for precision, scalability and reduced on-site labor.
