Bench scale test work relating to the sulphate roast process flow sheet has now progressed to the treatment of recycle solutions and will progress soon to close-circuit test work. Concurrently, pilotscale test work has successfully progressed beyond impurity removal and evaporation in preparation for lithium, potassium and sodium recovery.

European Battery Alliance (‘ EBA ’) central participant Volkswagen Group (‘ VW ’) has formalised their commitment to EIT InnoEnergy through a direct investment announced earlier this month. The investment follows the July announcement that confirmed VW’s commitment to locate one of their six lithium-ion battery plants in Spain.

Spain has been focusing on the development of the Iberian lithium-ion battery value chain, as recognised by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez at the XXXII Lusa Hispanic Summit on 28 October 2021 in concert with the Prime Minister of Portugal, Antonio Costa. Sanchez called for a commitment to strengthen collaboration between the two countries, and to benefit from access to European funds.

Both reaffirmed their commitment to electrify mobility, recognising the need for radical transformation of the entire value chain of the automobile sector. Sanchez noted that the electric project is important for both countries as well as the "management of the entire value chain, starting with lithium until the manufacture of the car."

The announcement was authorised by the Board. For further inquiries please contact:

About Infinity Lithium

Infinity Lithium is an Australian listed minerals company who is seeking to develop its 75% owned San José Lithium Project in Spain. The proposed fully integrated industrial Project is focused on the

Infinity Lithium Corporation Limited ACN 147 413 956

production of battery grade lithium chemicals from a mica feedstock that represents the EU’s 2[nd] largest JORC compliant hard rock lithium deposit.

The Company is contesting the cancellation of Investigation Permit Valdeflorez (‘PIV’) and has lodged a contentious-administrative appeal. The Company strongly disputes the basis of the decision of the cancellation of PIV and retains all legal rights against the Junta of Extremadura. Infinity retains subsequent rights of applications over and including the PIV area through other applications. These are summarised in the ASX announcement 19 July 2021.

The Project would provide an essential component in the EU’s development of a vertically integrated lithium-ion battery supply chain. The availability of critical raw materials and the production of battery grade lithium hydroxide in the EU is essential to ensure the long-term production of lithium-ion batteries for electric mobility and the transition of the EU’s automotive industry towards electric vehicles.
