All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are "forward-looking statements." Although the American Battery Technology Company's (the "Company) management believes that such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee that such expectations are, or will be, correct. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause the Company's future results to differ materially from those anticipated. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, interpretations or reinterpretations of geologic information, unfavorable exploration results, inability to obtain permits required for future exploration, development or production, general economic conditions and conditions affecting the industries in which the Company operates; the uncertainty of regulatory requirements and approvals; fluctuating mineral and commodity prices, final investment approval and the ability to obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms or at all. Additional information regarding the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is available in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Cost of Supply $ Cost of battery minerals has soared alongside supply scarcity The cost of manufacturing and importing these battery metals has grown rapidly over recent years as demand has grown at a far faster pace than new supply can enter the market. Environmental Impact of Supply Many conventional recycling and mining practices are harmful to the environment The mining and recycling of these battery metals through conventional techniques can result in the emission of large amounts of greenhouse gases, criteria pollutants, and contaminated water and soil. AU 4#5The Solution: Circular and Domestic Battery Materials Supply Chain Battery Cells End Use OEMS ○ A robust and cost-competitive battery recycling industry can make a meaningful impact on near-term domestic supply 。 However, Recycling alone can not meet growing demand, primary domestic supply of virgin battery metals needs to be ramped rapidly o In order to meet domestic needs, alliances/partnerships need to be formed amongst different sectors of the closed- loop supply chain Active/Inactive Refined Materials Cell Manufacturers Chemical Refiners AU Waste Pro Waste Cells Waste Material + A ABTC AMERICAN BATTERY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY EVs, Stationary Storage, Consumer Electronics Second Life Applications Battery Grade Metal Feedstocks Li, Ni, Co, Mn Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Primary Battery Metals Manufacturing ABTC AMERICAN BATTERY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY Virgin Resources (Brines, Clays, Ores) 5 сл#6Corporate Governance + ABTC AMERICAN BATTERY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY Independent Directors GM A MAGNA Ford TPG T SR SOUTHERN RESEARCH TESLA Beth Lowery Ryan Melsert CEO/CTO/Chairman AV LOCKHEED MARTIN Julie Blunden EVgo FAST CHARGING SunEdison SUNPOWER" Sherif Marakby Uber ERNST & YOUNG Rick Fezell 6#7Our Integrated Approach to Establishing Circularity + ABTC AMERICAN BATTERY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY Security of Supply Cost of Supply Environmental Impact of Supply ABTC's Integrated, IP Driven Tech Portfolio High Battery Recycling, fast to market Resource Development, secure ownership Low Battery Recycling, strategic demanufacturing Primary lithium, selective leaching Low Battery Recycling, strategic demanufacturing Primary lithium, low chemical reagent consumption Conventional Recycling Companies Limited Recycling only, limited by input volumes No resource ownership High Limited economies of scale, no access to high volume primary resources High Conventional recycling techniques employ large chemical usage processes Conventional Mining Companies Limited No fast to market recycling Long duration to develop resource High Utilize conventional extraction methodologies, no access to recycling High Conventional techniques, large water, energy, chemical consumption 7#8Leading the Transition through Multiple Verticals ABTC applies its intellectual property and expertise across three primary business functions to supply the market with domestic, low-cost, and low-environmental impact battery materials.

ABTC will work in partnership with Novonix Group, University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), University of Utah (U of U), North Carolina State University (NCSU), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and with downstream material validation and offtake by Dainen Material, Novonix Group, and IM3NY. ABTC has developed and is constructing an integrated pre-commercial scale recycling facility that will operate with many of these baseline technologies, however it has also developed several enhanced separation and processing techniques that will allow for the recovery of additional products and further reduction of energy and water consumption and life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. Through this proposed project, ABTC and its partners will validate and optimize each of these advanced technologies at the bench scale, then manufacture qualification batches of these products for evaluation and testing by downstream partners, followed by the scale-up of these advanced systems for integration into ABTC's existing pre-commercial scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility. American Battery Technology Company is currently building a battery recycling facility located in Fernley, Nevada. The initial plant capacity will be able to process 20,000 metric tons per year of end-of-life batteries and battery manufacturing waste, scaling up to 100,000 metric tons per year. ABTC's Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Pilot Plant will be an entirely new construction consisting of three functional building areas totaling approximately 100,000 square feet of floor space with 60,000 square feet dedicated production space. "I've been a steadfast advocate for Nevada's booming clean-energy industry, including our cutting-edge companies engaged in manufacturing and recycling batteries," said U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (NV). "I'm pleased that these grants from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I supported continue to come to the Silver State to support our innovative businesses and create jobs." "This investment ensures that we are able to provide for the future demand of batteries, ensure a domestic supply chain of critical minerals and strengthen our national security. As a member of the Congressional Critical Minerals Caucus and a proud supporter of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, I will continue to work with the Administration to make critical investments in Nevada and across the nation to advance a clean energy future," said U.S. Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04).

Thank you. WHITEHOUSE.GOV Cell & Pack Manufacturing Project Description: American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) and partners will build, and operate a commercial-scale facility to demonstrate its novel process for manufacturing battery cathode grade lithium hydroxide (LIOH) from unconventional Nevada-based lithium-bearing sedimentary resources. Through this demonstration, the domestic- U.S. lithium resource base can be expanded and create a more resilient U.S. battery manufacturing supply chain. ABTC has secured over 10,000 acres of these lithium-bearing sedimentary resources near Tonopah, NV, and its project team has been performing work under an existing grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) to demonstrate this process in an integrated multi-ton per day field demonstration system. With the support of this Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant award, a 5,000 MT (metric tonnes) LiOH/year commercial processing plant will be constructed and operated at this resource site, with the capacity of the facility to subsequently be expanded to 30,000 MT LIOH/year.
