Revenue Inflection Point Upon Operationalizing the Rochester Hub
Refining Processing Steps Drive Increasing Economic Value
3
Rochester Hub(1): Key Battery-Grade Production (tonnes)
Nickel Sulphate
Cobalt Sulphate
1
Input: Battery Materials
OR
2
Spoke Output:
Black Mass
Integrated Model: Near- vs Long-Term Revenue Profile
1 Diversified sources of battery materials and includes cost discount to
metal price (based on customer, chemistry, form factor)
2 Sale of black mass is an intermediate step with no payable value
attributed to lithium; transition to inventory for Hub feedstock
3 Significant step-change for revenues: finished battery-grade materials
sold at premium to metal prices including lithium, nickel,
and cobalt

(1) Production ranges based on DFS estimates. Conversion factor of 4.48 tonnes of nickel sulphate : 1 tonne of nickel metal equivalent; 4.77 tonnes of cobalt sulphate : 1 tonne of cobalt metal equivalent; (2) N.A. as lithium carbonate is the key
product form and the index price reference is expressed on a per unit of lithium carbonate basis (as opposed to a per unit of lithium metal basis); (3) Actual: Lithium carbonate prices are the period-end spot prices (Europe) by Fastmarkets,
nickel and cobalt prices are the period-end cash prices by LME; Projected: Prices for lithium carbonate, nickel and cobalt are forecasted period-end prices by BMI as of June 2023
