The facility will produce cathode active materials for the electric vehicle and energy storage systems markets, per the filing.
The funding granted under the Australian Renewable Energy Agency's Battery Breakthrough Initiative will be matched by Firebird's existing funds at hand. The grant came after a due diligence process, including an independent technical review.
Its shares fell 8% in recent trading on Friday.
