“The decline in battery materials prices over the last 2 years has been challenging, particularly with our strong lithium price correlation as referenced in the diagram below. However, the strong fundamentals of our approach to managing EV transition opportunities – cheaper operating costs for owners and lower emissions - remain firmly intact. Our JV recycling business is generating revenue, and the pipeline is growing. We will adjust to this new reality and push through the headwinds.”

– Chris Reed (MD/CEO)

Cut-off is based on net value (revenue minus selling, processing, administration and incremental ore mining costs) >$0/t on a diluted block-by-block basis from the parameters used in the pit optimization. Ore Reserves reported are within the Mineral Resource estimates. This relates roughly to a 10% TiO2 cut-off.

Neometals’ Unique Value Proposition

Neometals is at the forefront of the low carbon production of critical materials via recycling and recovery from waste

==> picture [119 x 590] intentionally omitted <==

Clear Strategy – Delivering patented, environmentally-friendly solutions to recover critical materials from vast, growing waste streams arising from the electric vehicle and renewable energy storage thematic

Sustainable Competitive Advantage – Leading operating cost and carbon footprint versus mined products for users of our technology and plant supply customers

Industrial Validation – From marquee customer Mercedes-Benz, JV partner and global plant builder SMS group

Smart Business Model – Technology licensing and turn-key plant supply is replicable and scalable, much lower-capital, lower-risk than operating as principal

Commercial Pipeline – Primobius will offer commercial plants to technology licensees and MOU counterparties around the globe once Product Readiness is achieved - post-industrial validation by Mercedes-Benz

Leverage to upside – Exposure to transition to net zero, its most critical materials (Li & V) and their forecast recovery in prices from current unsustainable levels and unified policy tailwinds to counter Chinese dominance
