During the quarter, the design of the LDES pilot was completed by the Company’s joint venture partner Sunlands Co. Completion of the design followed receipt of the detailed results from the thermal storage test work program conducted at TU Frieberg by INEMET. The results, announced on 28 November 2022, also provided the necessary data to finalise QSP’s manufacture of the thermal storage media (Uley Media) for the LDES pilot.

QSP and ProTherm have prepared the detailed specifications and design of the LDES pilot’s three components as originally described in the Sunlands Co. Commercialisation Report, consisting of:

  • the TES Cell;

  • the heat transfer fluid plant (see Figure 1.0); and

  • the steam turbine generator package.

The parties have shortlisted key vendors and are negotiating key contractual arrangements. Subject to finalising these arrangements, construction of the LDES pilot is expected to commence during the June 2023 quarter.

QGL is the owner of the Uley flake graphite mineral deposits located south-west of Port Lincoln, South Australia. The company’s Uley 2 project represents the next stage of development of the century old Uley mine, one of the largest high-grade natural flake deposits in the world. For further information, qgraphite.com.

QSP is our joint venture with Sunlands Co. for the manufacture of coarse natural flake based thermal storage media. The flake will be sourced exclusively from the QGL’s Uley mine. The manufactured media will be fitted within Sunlands Co.’s long duration energy storage cells. https://www.sunlandsco.com/

==> picture [84 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Operation of the LDES pilot, including the production of key data from the continuous energy cycle (i.e., charge and discharge of the TES cell), is the final milestone prior to commencement of commercialisation of the Sunlands Co. LDES technology.

==> picture [238 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

QSP's analysis of the available Uley Media manufacturing options continued during the period. The form of Uley Media successfully tested by INEMET provides more versatile design options and superior manufacturing scalability than high-grade isostatic graphite whilst delivering the same thermodynamic properties including:

  • excellent thermal conductivity and (uniform) distribution and;

  • high-capacity heat storage levels,

The analysis targeted large scale forming of Uley Media especially for TES LDES cells constructed as retrofitting options for coal fired power stations. The LDES cells supply direct heat to these power stations thereby eliminating the need to burn coal.

On 23 March 2023 the Company completed the first phase of the thermal purification analysis of the test work program conducted jointly by INEMET, ProTherm Systems and QSP.

The test work program highlighted the benefits of Uley flake’s clean geochemistry for use as anode material in Li-ion batteries, especially the lack of any material heavy element impurities. Outside Titanium (Ti) with a concentration of 224 parts per million (ppm) or 0.0224%, the presence of any other heavy element fell below the detectable limits of the test equipment.

The results confirmed within the sensitivity levels of the test equipment that:-

  • Impurity removal efficiency (IRE) utilising heat treatment was estimated to achieve 95% removal of all impurity elements

  • Thermal treatment of Uley flake samples at a temperature of 2,200°C eliminated all impurities with a boiling point of up to 2,200°C and achieved a purity of 97.59% graphitic carbon (gC)

  • Based on the correlation of boiling point data, thermal treatment at 3,000°C of Uley flake samples is predicted to achieve a purity ranging from 99.50% gC (80% IRE) to 99.86% gC (95% IRE)

Page 2 of 7

==> picture [84 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

A summary of predicted Uley flake samples purity following thermal purification at 3,000°C, for various IRE factors, is presented in Table 1 and Figure 2.0. Four efficiency factors were considered, 80%, 85%, 90%, and 95%. Since no process is completely efficient, a 100% efficiency factor was excluded from the purity predictions.

Figure 2.0: Summary of Findings

Next and Final Phase of Thermal Testwork - Treatment at 3,000°C - The next and final phase of the thermal test work program is the treatment of Uley flake samples at 3,000°C. The program design and test work have been scheduled to commence in the June 2023 quarter. The successful completion of this program will deliver yet another market for Uley flake, in addition to the downstream supply to QSP for the manufacture of LDES Uley Media and the traditional supply to European and North Asian refractory manufacturers.

In anticipation of the bond financing of the Uley 2 Project (see below), Lycopodium Minerals was instructed to update the Company’s Uley 2 project DFS. The update will include options for the expansion of production beyond the DFS capacity of 55,000 tonnes per annum and certain other enhancements to ensure that the Company can meet the increased demand from from QSP.

==> picture [205 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

On 22 February 2023 the Company received confirmation from the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining that Exploration Licence 6224 has been renewed until 12 October 2027.

==> picture [382 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

The Company has previously announced the bond financing structure for the financing of Uley 2 by way of the issue of corporate bonds on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Company has finalised the legal structure for the issuance and, importantly, the key environmental targets that ensure that the Company’s issuance will qualify as Sustainably Linked Bonds (SLB bond issue). The environmental targets relate to the sustainable supply and management of infrastructure, including water and power and will be incorporated in the SLB bond issuance documentation.

The SLB bond issue will contain several credit enhancements including fixed asset security and the comprehensive insurance package.

Preparation of the summary terms sheet for the SLB bond issue will be progressed during the June 2023 quarter and finalised once the Company receives the formal offer for the Uley 2 project insurance package.

During the period the Company executed a non-binding insurance proposal with a highly rated major global insurer and delivered formal presentations to a number of highly rated global insurers in Sydney and London. Negotiations with major insurers continue and the insurance package is expected to include policies covering all facets of the Uley 2 project including procurement (marine cargo), construction and commissioning, delayed start up for a period of up to two years and trade credit.

==> picture [271 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

During the period, the Company extended the takeover offer announced on 9 August 2022 for Lincoln Minerals Limited until 7.00pm (Melbourne time), 15 May 2023.
