Spoke Output:
Black Mass
Integrated Model: Near- vs Long-Term Revenue Profile
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: 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) Projected: Prices for lithium carbonate, nickel and cobalt are forecasted period-end
prices by BMI as of June 2023
