Phase 3 Drilling (Now Complete): Delivers Game-Changing Scale

Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project (KHLP)

  • Successfully expanded Big Red and delivered further relative system consistency – shallow, thick intervals (+20m) at high lithium grade (+1.2% Li2O)

  • Rocky drilling identified numerous mineralised pegmatites semi-parallel to Big Red that led to significant expansion of Phase 3 drill programme

  • Scale of Rocky then progressively and significantly increased; a highly continuous mineralised system at shallow depths, albeit thinner and of lower average grade than the standout neighbouring Big Red pegmatite

  • Proximity of Rocky to surface and Big Red means it is expected to form a significant part of any future development at the KHLP

Strategically Located Nickel Sulphide Portfolio

==> picture [382 x 396] intentionally omitted <==

Future Battery Minerals holds some of the most prospective nickel sulphide tenure in the NorsemanWiluna Greenstone Belt

  • Scoping Study provides roadmap to potential development of existing shallow high-grade nickel sulphide resources

  • Create further value via new nickel sulphide discoveries – exploration and drilling at priority prospects to build resources inventory

Excellent Infrastructure

Home to some of the best quality nickel sulphide deposits globally (e.g. Leinster, Mt Keith, Kambalda, Widgiemooltha)

Five (5) processing plants within economic trucking distance

Exploration Potential

Kilometres of underexplored prospective ultramafics

Lack of modern-day exploration techniques

18

Saints Nickel Project (100%) High-grade nickel resource with exploration upside

  • High-grade JORC (2012) resource of 21Kt contained Ni, 1.6kt Cu, 0.6k Co 911Kt @ 2.3% Ni, 0.17% Cu, 0.007% Co (65% Indicated, 35% Inferred)

Leinster Nickel Project (100%) Known massive nickel sulphide mineralisation with excellent exploration potential

Underexplored fertile ultramafic units in close proximity to known massive Ni-S mineralisation

  • Saints Scoping Study delivers positive assessment on potential development and production from UG mining, highlighted by:

  • 5-year life of mine

  • Low capex of A$8.6m

  • Positive cash flow in Year 1

  • A$55M NPV pre-tax (*base case inputs)

Massive Ni-Cu sulphides from the Horn

  • Saint Patrick and Saint Andrews remain open down-plunge – excellent exploration potential to increase current resource

Work Programmes

Scoping Study paves way for Pre-Feasibility Study

PFS to consist of field and desktop programmes at Saints:

Work Programmes

Historic resource at the Horn: relatively high Ni, Cu, Co and PGEs and low Mg associated with the Ni-S mineralization – attractive for potential mining scenario

Modelling of the Woodwind prospect

Infill drilling in critical areas of the resource

Exploration drilling below existing resource

Ongoing regional targeting across the fertile ultramafic strike

Further Hydrological and Geotechnical investigations to improve mine plan and design

Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transition

The energy sector becomes a leading consumer of minerals as energy transitions accelerate

Cu Copper

Li Lithium

Ni Nickel

To keep up with increasing demand for lithium, it’s anticipated that an additional 200,000-300,000t of new lithium supply will need to come online every year.

The combination of limited supply and exponential demand growth from battery manufactures has elevated nickel to the critical minerals list.

Used extensively in in the green energy industry, copper is expected to remain in deficit until 2026 due to a lack of new large-scale discoveries worldwide.
