EXHIBIT 10(iv)

                              COOPERATION AGREEMENT

This Cooperation Agreement (hereinafter the "Agreement") is entered into on this
8th day of December 2000. by and between ALUMINIUM-POWER Inc., a company located
in Toronto,  Canada (hereinafter  "API"), of the one part, and SAGEM SA, Defence
and  Security  Division,  a Company  existing  and  organized  under the laws of
France,  whose  registered  office is 6.  avenue  d'lena  75783  PARIS Cedex 16,
France.  hereinafter referred to as "SAGEM SA," (hereinafter "SAGEM SA"), of the
other part.

WHEREAS,  SAGEM SA Is an  international  industrial  company,  and makes various
consumer electronics, including in particular, cellular phones, handheld and man
portable electronic devices called hereafter `application'.

WHEREAS,   ALUMINIUM-POWER   Inc.  ("API")  has  developed  certain  proprietary
technologies  for the  development  of fuel cells,  in particular in the area of
Aluminium-air fuel cells;

WHEREAS, SAGEM SA is interested in a Aluminium-air fuel cell application for its
battery pack and desires to cooperate with ALUMINIUM-POWER Inc.

NOW Therefore the Pates agree as follows:

1.   BASIC NATURE OF COOPERATION

1.1 The Parties  agree that their  cooperation  hereunder  is motivated by their
mutual  interest  to  realize an  Aluminium-air  fuel cell which will serve as a
power  source for SAGEM SA's  cellular  phone  application,  and effort  will be
carried out on a best efforts basis.  Each Party will be responsible  for all of
its own expenses  connected  with the  implementation  of this  cooperation  and
neither Party will have any liability to the other regarding the success of this
effort  or  otherwise.   In  addition  neither  Party  is  undertaking  to  work
exclusively with the other in the area of fuel cell or battery  technologies and
they both retain to themselves the right to work alone or with others  regarding
such  technologies,  provided  however this in no way derogates from the Parties
obligations under the provisions of Section 5 ("Confidential Information").

1.2 It is  further  understood  that  API  will be  developing  a fuel  cell for
inclusion  in SAGEM SA  products,  which will then be  incorporated  in a larger
assembly, which will constitute a power source The integration and qualification
of the power source shall be carried out by SAGEM SA in coordination with API.

1.3 Should the development  effort by API to develop an Aluminium-air  fuel cell
as a  power  source  for the  SAGEM  SA  application  be  successfully  achieved
hereunder,  the Parties may negotiate a further  agreement  under which SAGEM SA
could purchase fuel cells from API or be licensed by API to manufacture same for
the sole use with the  SAGEM  SA  application  against  which it was  developed.
Should  either Party not wish to enter into such a further  agreement or fail to
agree on the terms  thereof.  neither Party will have any liability to the other
and their  cooperation  will end pursuant to the termination  provisions of this
Agreement

2.   EVALUATION OF EXISTING FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY

The Parties will each  designate a. senior  engineer as the Project  manager for
the respective Party and those two individuals will be authorized by the Parties
to make all necessary  technical  decisions in  implementation of this agreement
for their respective company.

SAGEM SA shall provide to API a test plan  concerning the evaluation of state of
the art  individual  fuel cell with the  purpose  to better  understand  the API
current  technology and to anticipate the key issues for the integration of such
devices in a portable equipment. This test plan will be carried out by API under
the SAGEM SA supervision.

3.   DESIGN OF A POWER SOURCE

With better  knowledges  of system  considerations,  outputs of ss. 2 this phase
will  address  the  manufacturing  process  and cost for a future  power  source
dedicated to SAGEM SA application.  SAGEM SA dealing with high technologies with
a large engineering  expertise agrees to undertake some engineering work jointly
with API in particular the fuel cell holster with the relevant interface because
very dependant of the application,

The outputs of this phase is to design a power source prototype able to drive an
application,  to be manufactured  and tested in step ss. 4. For this purpose,  a
technical  specification  will be raised by SAGEM SA, taking into account system
considerations and the identified physical barriers.

It  is  understood   that  the  fuel  cell  will  consider  the  last  technical
Improvements achieved from the beginning of the evaluation phase.

4.   DEVELOPMENT. MANUFACTURING & TESTING OF A PROVEN POWER SOURCE

API and SAGEM SA  undertake  the  development  of a power source  following  the
results output from ss.3. The power source holster and accessories  required for
the system  operation  will be designed and  manufactured  by SAGEM SA. API will
integrate the optimized fuel cell and will test the complete unit under mutually
agreed acceptance test procedures.

It is understood  that the  individual  cell being part of the power source will
consider  the  last  technical  improvements  achieved  from  the  beginning  of
evaluation phase.

Few units will be  manufactured  and  tested in  appropriate  conditions  agreed
mutually  by each  party.  The  achievements  of this phase will  condition  the
introduction  of the  demonstrators  at the end user  level for  evaluation  and
promotion.

It is understood  by SAGEM SA that this effort is to achieve a proven  prototype
of fuel cell power source as a secondary power source. The effort hereunder does
not include production engineering for such fuel cell.  A production engineering
effort,  if desired by SAGEM SA,  would  require a separate  agreement  mutually
acceptable to the Parties.

5.   SCHEDULE

A development  plan is attached to this cooperation  agreement.  This particular
plan is dedicated to a cell phone application.

6.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

6.1 The term "Confidential Information" as used in this Agreement shall mean all
trade secrets and information  which is proprietary to either Party (in the case
of API fuel cell technology and in the case of SAGEM SA, technology dedicated to
the  application)  including,  but not limited to, type design  data,  drawings,
