ASX: INF ANNOUNCEMENT
1 February 2019
European Conferences and 9[th] International Advanced Automotive Battery Conference Presentation
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Infinity engages with key European stakeholders at EBA250 with raw materials and chemical processing capabilities remaining a high priority for the European Commission, European Investment Bank, and major European automobile OEMs
-
European Investment Bank actively seeking to support European raw materials and refining projects to strengthen the strategic position of the European Union lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle sectors
-
Infinity presents development of the European lithium-ion battery supply chain to leading battery technology delegates and key automotive OEM suppliers at the 9[th] Advanced Automotive Battery Conference
European Battery Alliance EBA250 – Brussels
Infinity Lithium Corporation Limited (‘Infinity’ or ‘the Company’) was invited to attend The European Battery Alliance (‘EBA’) EBA250 and participate in round table discussions with delegates. EBA250 focused on the progression of European interests in the lithium-ion battery supply chain with particular onus on the investment and commitment required further upstream in battery chemical production. European battery cell production and assembly has accelerated interest in the alignment of financial institutions and business in battery industry fundamentals. In more than five decades Europe has not been presented a more significant opportunity than that of the electrification of vehicles and energy storage.
Jens Weise (Head of Industrial Co-operations and Partnerships, Volkswagen AG) outlined Volkswagen’s “Strategy 2025 - Building cars for millions, not millionaires” to produce 50 electric vehicle (‘EV) and 30 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle models (‘PHEV’) by 2025, and the requirement for the equivalent of 6 lithium-ion battery (‘LIB’) giga-factories to facilitate solely Volkswagen’s demand. Both Mr Weise and Andrew A. McDowell (VicePresident, European Investment Bank, ‘EIB’) called for the reduced dependency of Europe on Chinese LIB battery producers and in particular the control of battery chemicals and cell production.
Infinity’s San Jose Lithium Project contains the European Union’s (‘EU’) second largest lithium JORC resource and has recently released a positive scoping study, placing it ideally to supply battery grade chemicals into the European market.

FIGURE 1: REPRESENTATION OF A EUROPEAN FULLY INTEGRATED LITHIUM-ION BATTERY SUPPLY CHAIN
Note:
-
1) Electric cars include HEV, PHEV and EV.
-
2) Average battery pack for EV is 33kWh in 2017, 45kWh in 2025 and 52kWh in 2030.
-
3) PHEV average battery pack around 12kWh, HEV around 1kWh.
-
4) LCE consumption per kWh averaging 0.9Kg.
The EIB acknowledged the importance of Europe’s strategic position in the LIB supply chain, promoting the sector and the EIB’s commitment to provide capital to facilitate growth EV market and European value chain participants. Mr McDowell noted that the EIB had identified the significant gap in the market for battery chemicals and reinforced the EIB’s specific focus on “raw materials and refining facilities”. The ability to ethically source raw materials and consideration of CO2 emissions remains a priority for the European market. Infinity’s strategic location in the EU and environmentally advantageous process flow sheet reinforces San Jose’s position as a strategically important asset within Europe.
Maroš Šefčovič (Vice-President, European Commission, ‘EC’) expressed his desire to continue to bring investments and investors to the LIB and EV sector with more than €300 billion invested to date. The continued threat posed to the European automotive industry from Chinese battery chemical producers, battery cell and assembly manufacturers has seen significant allocations of funding to assist high quality European projects.
The updated Strategic Action Plan on Batteries by the EC will bring increased certainty for investments as far as regulation and institutional support are concerned. In a continued theme for the conference, primary and secondary raw materials remain a priority for the EC to address the gap in the existing value chain with no current capacity to refine battery chemicals. The EC and EIB are promoting a harmonised view to building and supporting processing and refining capabilities with Europe.
Advanced Automotive Battery Conference – Strasbourg
Infinity attended the 9[th] International Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (‘AABC’) in Strasbourg which brought together a global conglomeration of leading chief battery technology participants from key automotive OEM suppliers.
The conference was attended by more than 1,000 international delegates, with industry leading experts gathering to address lithium battery chemistry, battery raw materials, and battery engineering as OEMs are expanding their EV development programs, increasing production and investment commitments.

Umicore is planning to build a cathode plant in Poland. The first phase of this investment is included in the € 660 million programme announced earlier this year. Umicore is due to start deliveries in late 2020.
BASF and Norilsk Nickel enter exclusive negotiations to cooperate on raw material supply for battery materials production in Europe. BASF intends to invest up to €400 million in a first step to build production plants for cathode materials in Europe.
Johnson Matthey expects to start production in 2021-22 in Europe of a battery material it has developed with improved performance and reduced cobalt content to contain costs.
Northvolt is also planning to build its cathodes in-house after they start their battery factory in Sweden.

Scoping Study – Cautionary Statement
The Study referred to in this announcement is a preliminary technical and economic investigation of the potential viability of the San Jose Lithium-Tin Project. It is based on low accuracy technical and economic assessments, (+/- 35% accuracy) and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage; or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Study will be realised. The Production Target referred to in this announcement is based on 91% Indicated Resources and 9% Inferred Resources for the life of mine life covered under the Study. In accordance with the twenty four (24) year mine plan incorporated into the Study, the first three (3) years of production (covering payback period) will come 96% from Indicated Resources. For full details of the Study refer to ASX announcement 29 November 2018.
Competent Persons Statement
Snowden Mining (2017) and Cube Consulting (2018) estimated the total Mineral Resource for the San Jose lithium deposit using Ordinary Kriging interpolation methods and reported above a 0.1% Li cut-off grade. Full details of block modelling and estimation are contained in the ASX announcement dated 5 December 2017 and updated 22 May 2018.
The Resource which supports the Scoping Study was announced to the ASX on the 23 May 2018. Infinity is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this ASX release, and Infinity confirms that, to the best of its knowledge, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the resource estimates in this release continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The resource information in this report that relates to the December 2017 and updates in May 2018, updated Mineral Resources is based on the information compiled by Mr Patrick Adams, FAusIMM CP (Geology) and Mr Adrian Byass B.Sc Hons (Geol), B.Econ, FSEG, MAIG. Mr Adams and Mr Byass have sufficient relevant professional experience with open pit and underground mining, exploration and development of mineral deposits similar to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as Competent Person(s) as defined in the 2012 Edition of JORC Code. Mr Adams has not visited the project area and has relied on the documented (Byass, 20162018, Peters, May 2017) drilling, logging and sampling techniques used by Infinity in collection of data used in the preparation of this report. Mr Adams is a Principal Geologist and a Director of Cube Consulting Pty Ltd and consents to be named in this release and the report as it is presented. Mr Byass is employed by Infinity as a geologist and has visited the site during pre and post drilling activities, and consents to be named in this release and the report as it is presented.
Production Target and Scoping Study: The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on the information compiled or reviewed by Mr Adrian Byass, B.Sc Hons (Geol), B.Econ, FSEG, MAIG and an employee of Infinity. Mr Byass has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the JORC Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Exploration Targets, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Byass consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
