About the South West Arkansas Project

The South West Arkansas Project (“SWA Project”) is located approximately 15 miles west of the City of Magnolia in southwestern Arkansas. The SWA Project’s Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.4 Mt and 0.4 Mt lithium carbonate equivalent, respectively, has some of the highest reported lithium brine concentrations in North America, averaging above 400 mg/L. The Preliminary Feasibility Study demonstrates robust economics, assuming production of at least 30,000 tonnes per year of battery-quality lithium hydroxide beginning in 2027 over a 20-plus year operating life.

The Company anticipates completing a FEED and Definitive Feasibility Study for the SWA Project in 2024 and beginning construction in 2025. Commercial production is expected in 2027, subject to continuing project definition, due diligence, project financing and receipt of future feasibility studies.
