Scalable 33-year mine life producing battery-grade lithium carbonate
Optimization Opportunities
Estimated to be the 6th largest hard rock lithium deposit globally
Biproducts Cesium, sulphate of potash ("SOP"), potential for additional revenue
Initial CapEx reduction by re-scoping for phased expansion approach
Infill expansion drilling to reclassify and expand resource
Excellent Infrastructure
Strong local community support and involvement
Near Two Oceans highway, hydro-electric power, abundant water and labour
Path to Production
Expansion drilling to test new areas
Expand and upgrade existing resource
Commencement of Pre-Feasibility
1. After-tax, average annual at steady state throughput of 3mtpa, based on a selling price of $12,000/t Li2CO3. 2. Inclusive of G&A, Mining, Processing and Tailings Handling. 3. Includes: Includes EPCM, spares, insurances, owners' team, Process Plant Contingency of 11%,
Infrastructure Costs (Road and TSF) inclusive of 15% contingency. 4. Steady State - battery quality Li2CO3. * See IMPORTANT PEA Cautionary Notes on Slide 2.
