ASX Announcement : 29 July 2025 Quarterly Activities Report

==> picture [34 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

The potential for high-tenor gold mineralisation is demonstrated by several historic mining sites, with an average production grade of 24.8g/t, and based on historic drill data, a gold Exploration Target for the Barrambie Project has been estimated at between 8Mt at 1.3g/t Au and 10.5Mt at 2.3g/t Au, for 335k and 775k ounces[5][3] . While the Company reported a Mineral Resource Estimate (“ MRE ”) in respect of the Ironclad deposit[6] , this did not result in any modifications to the gold Exploration Target for the Barrambie. Neometals considers the Barrambie Gold Project to have the potential to host multiple gold occurrences and has resumed gold exploration for the first time in over 20 years, with a view to advancing and growing existing and new targets.

Activity Summary

During the quarter, a gold MRE was completed for the Ironclad deposit (see Table 1)[6] to substantiate historic, pre-JORC estimates, in line with the indicative June Quarter 2025 timeline as stated in the Company’s recent Gold Strategy announcement[7] . The MRE is for mineralisation in the vicinity of the historic underground workings[6] and is based predominantly on shallow reverse circulation (“ RC ”) and rotary air blast (“ RAB” ) drilling (generally less than 75 metres deep).

The MRE supports the Company’s strategy of prioritising this near-surface mineralisation at the Ironclad deposit for potential development and was used as the basis for a mining licence application.

In addition, during the quarter a 760m diamond drilling program (results outstanding) was completed at the Ironclad deposit and at the Mystery prospect. Figure 2 overleaf shows the location of the seven diamond holes drilled at Ironclad with results to be reported next quarter.

Lithium Chemicals

(Intellectual Property via Reed Advanced Materials Pty Ltd (“RAM”) – NMT 70%, Mineral Resources Ltd 30%)

Background

RAM is commercialising its proprietary, patented ELi Process™ (“ ELi ”) which produces lithium hydroxide and carbonate from lithium chloride solutions using electrolysis. ELi has potentially significantly lower operating cost and carbon footprint compared to conventional production processes, replacing costly, bulk chemical reagents with electricity and low-cost internally generated reagents. RAM holds nineteen (19) granted national phase patents with a further thirteen (13) pending.

==> picture [482 x 168] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4 – Schematic flowsheet of patented ELi Process™

In November 2024, Neometals announced that the final evaporation and crystallisation stage of the ELi Pilot Trial (“ELi Pilot”) successfully produced high-purity lithium hydroxide monohydrate (“LHM”).[9] This included the completion of a 1,000-hour electrolysis membrane durability test, utilising a lithium chloride solution which was produced in the successful 2023 ‘purification’ trial on brine sourced from Rio Tinto’s Rincon project in South America[10,11] .

This is a natural continuation of the parties working together, with RAM having previously completed pilot trials of Rio Tinto’s Rincon brine, the results of which are summarised in Table 2 above. Under the MoU, the parties expect to discuss and explore:

  • the potential for Rio Tinto to fund optimisation test work and process design updates;

  • the establishment of a framework agreement pursuant to which Rio Tinto can assess the performance of ELi through extended testing to Technology Readiness Level 7 through future trials; and

  • the potential for an evaluation licence which would be subject to negotiation and execution of a separate agreement.

While the MoU is non-binding, RAM sees value in Rio Tinto’s preparedness as a global leader in energy transition commodities, to execute the MoU and considers the activities to be discussed and explored under the MoU as important steps in a potential pathway to validation of the technology.

RAM also continued to advance discussions with potential partners to provide equipment and technical support.

Lithium-ion Battery Recycling (Intellectual Property via ACN 630 589 507 Pty Ltd - NMT 50%, SMS 50%) (Plant supply via Primobius GmbH - NMT 50%, SMS 50%)

Background

Primobius GmbH (“ Primobius ”) was established in 2020 to commercialise Neometals’ lithium-ion battery recycling technology under an exclusive licence from ACN 630 589 507 Pty Ltd (“ ACN 630 ”), the intellectual property holding vehicle, both being co-owned with SMS group GmbH, a 150-year-old German plant builder with ~14,000 employees globally and fabrication facilities in Europe, USA, India and China.

The Primobius business model is to generate margins from recycling plant supply agreements, while ACN630’s business model is to receive royalties arising from the output of Primobius plants which are built utilising the ACN 630 patented flowsheet. ACN 630 is the ultimate beneficiary of five third party technology licences issued to date. ACN 630 holds seven (7) granted patents, providing patent protection for the technology in 38 individual jurisdictions with patent applications pending in a further ten (10) jurisdictions.

Mercedes-Benz LiB Recycling Plant Project

In May 2022, Neometals announced that Primobius and Mercedes-Benz (“ Mercedes ”) entered into a CoOperation Agreement to jointly develop tailored, industrial-scale LiB recycling solutions for Mercedes-Benz. Subsequently, in FY24 Primobius received purchase orders from Mercedes to supply, install and commission a 2,500tpa integrated plant in Kuppenheim, Germany. This plant serves as the industrial validation stage of the ACN 630 patented hydrometallurgical recycling flowsheet.

Installation of hydrometallurgical plant and commissioning of shredding and beneficiation plant progressed during the quarter, in parallel with acceptance testing of the shredding and beneficiation circuit. Successful acceptance testing of the mechanical shredding and beneficiation and hydrometallurgical circuits are the stage gates for proceeding to offer commercial-scale pre-processing for integrated recycling plants.

Hilchenbach LiB Disposal Facility

During the quarter Primobius commenced commissioning and testing of new process improvements to its own 10tpd shredding and beneficiation plant which produces an intermediate mixed nickel/cobalt product (“Black Mass”) and a mixed copper/aluminium product (“Black Copper”). The plant’s primary use is as a showcase for prospective customers and test work programs.

Commercial

During the quarter, Primobius progressed its commercial and ecosystem activities, including entering into a strategic partnership with Duesenfeld GmgH to incorporate their patented discharging and dry-shredding technology into Primobius’ product range. This pre-processing technology will be integrated into future hydrometallurgical recycling plants.

Primobius elected not to exercise an option to acquire equity in a lithium-ion battery recycling special purpose vehicle of Stelco Holdings Inc (“Stelco”). The option expired on 30 June 2025 and Stelco retains exclusive rights to utilise Primobius’ battery recycling technology in North America in the field of end-of-life EV batteries for which Primobius retains rights to a gross revenue royalty.

Prior to the incorporation of the Primobius joint venture, ACN 630 issued three exclusive licenses covering Scandinavia, the Balkans, Italy and one (1) non-exclusive licence, for the UK and Ireland.
