Countercyclical investment, lithium price significantly down from highs with forecast LT pricing upside Highly attractive long-term fundamentals with >10% demand CAGR to 2040 / with supply deficits anticipated by 2030 Low price environment increasing risk to future supply, with announced supply reductions and project delays Increasing importance of project location—strategic benefits from IRA and proximity to key downstream partners

Key Observations

Refining vs Mine Margin[(1)(2)(3)]

% of LiOH Price

Industry and supply-chains, particularly outside of China, are still being established

Over the past few years, there have been three distinct periods of volatility and margin transfer between the various parts of the value-chain

  • 01 While spodumene prices rebounded strongly over for following 2 years capturing a greater share of the overall margin, investors and the market remained focused on downstream integration

  • 02 Over the last 12 months, volatility and margin compression have been experienced across the board while downstream production outside of China / Asia has proven challenging both from a capex and importantly from a technical perspective (e.g. Albemarle / Tianqi curtailments / issues in Australia)

  • 03 Miners experienced margin transfer to refiners over 2019 -2021 which led to an under-investment in mining and a greater focus on downstream integration

Notes

  • 1 Guidance assumes average annual foreign exchange rates of AUD:CAD 0.91 and AUD:USD 0.667.

  • 2 Capital expenditure guidance excludes movements in capital creditors which amounted to A$3 million as at 30 June 2024.

  • 3 Exploration expenditure guidance excludes movements in exploration creditors which amounted to A$7 million as at 30 June 2024.

  • 4 Unit operating cost is calculated on an accruals basis and includes mining, processing, transport, port charges, site-based general and administration costs and cash based inventory movements, and excludes depreciation and amortisation charges, freight and royalties. It is reported in A$ / dmt sold, FOB Port of Québec. 5 Guidance published in ASX release 30 August 2024 is based on assumptions, budgets and estimates existing at the time of assessment which may change over time impacting the accuracy of those estimates. These estimates are developed in the context of an uncertain operating environment including in respect of inflationary macroeconomic conditions, incomplete engineering and uncertainties surrounding the risks associated with mining and project development including construction, commissioning and ramp up which may delay or impact production and have a flow on effect on sales. Actual results may therefore vary significantly depending on these risks and the timing required to address them. The information is provided as an indicative guide to assist sophisticated investors with modelling of the Company. It should not be relied upon as a predictor of future performance.
