Zoro Dyke 1 Positive Metallurgy

On May 26, 2022, the Company announced that it has contracted XPS Expert Process Solutions (a Glencore company) to develop a process to develop and refine spodumene concentrate (SC6 technical specification) into a saleable battery-grade lithium hydroxide product. The objective is to produce a technical specification SC6 spodumene concentrate. SC6 is an inorganic material that can be further refined for use in the manufacturing of batteries, ceramics, glass, grease, and various lithium products.to deliver battery grade lithium hydroxide to supply an integrated EV battery ecosystem to energize the electrification of the transportation sector. The project was undertaken at XPS’s Falconbridge, Canada, facility and SGS Canada Inc.'s Lakefield, Canada, facility. The project included a single stage Dense Media Separation (“DMS”), flotation, pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy.

Results of Test Work

The Zoro Dyke 1 metallurgical program investigated the feasibility of lithium beneficiation by dense media and dry magnetic separation with the goal of producing a 6% Li2O concentrate from a Master Composite, at a fairly coarse particle size of -12.7/+0.5 mm. Completed heavy liquid separation (“HLS”), DMS and dry magnetic separation test work confirms that HLS demonstrates excellent potential for the recovery of an on-spec lithium concentrate from the Master Composite by dense media separation. For Phase one of the project, the results of which were released in December of 2022, the HLS and DMS (dense media separation) test work concluded Dyke 1 spodumene mineralization is amenable for production producing a final spodumene concentrate assaying 5.93% Li2O, with a lithium recovery of 66.9% in 26.5% mass after magnetic separation. For Phase two of the project, the results of which was released in March of
