| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars) |

**1.** **Significant Nature of Operations** 

Electra Battery Materials Corporation (the "Company", "Electra") was incorporated on July 13, 2011 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia (the "Act"). On September 4, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Continuance into Canada and adopted Articles of Continuance as a Federal Company under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA"). On December 6, 2021, the Company changed its corporate name from First Cobalt Corp. to Electra Battery Materials Corporation. The Company is in the business of producing battery materials for the electric vehicle supply chain. The Company is focused on building a supply of cobalt, nickel and recycled battery materials.

Electra is a public company which is listed on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange ("TSXV") (under the symbol ELBM) and on the NASDAQ (under the symbol ELBM). The Company's registered office is Suite 2400, Bay-Adelaide Centre, 333 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2T6 and the corporate head office is located at 133 Richmond Street W, Suite 602, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2L3.

On December 31, 2024, the Company completed a share consolidation on the basis of one new post-consolidation common share for every four (4) pre-consolidation common shares. All prior share capital information has been presented based on this ratio.

The Company is focused on building a North American integrated battery materials facility for the electric vehicle supply chain. The Company is in the process of constructing its expanded hydrometallurgical cobalt refinery (the "Refinery") in Ontario, Canada, assessing the various optimizations and modular growth scenarios for a recycled battery material (known as black mass) program, and exploring and developing its mineral properties.

**Going Concern Basis of Accounting** 

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and, as such, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

The Company has recurring net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $288,272 and $274,892, respectively. The Company's recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The global economy, including the financial and credit markets, have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including fluctuating inflation rates and interest rates, foreign currency impacts, declines in consumer confidence, and declines in economic growth. Additionally, the Company suspended construction of the Refinery in 2023 due to lack of sufficient funding in the wake of supply chain disruptions. These factors point to uncertainty about economic stability, and the severity and duration of these conditions on our business cannot be predicted, and the Company cannot assure that it will remain in compliance with the financial covenants contained within its credit facilities. Management monitors recent developments in relation to global tariffs and does not anticipate material impacts on the financial position of the Company.

---

In order to continue its operations, the Company must achieve profitable operations and/or obtain additional equity or debt financing. Until the Company achieves profitability, management plans to fund its operations and capital expenditures with cash on hand, borrowings, and issuance of capital stock. Until the Company generates revenue at a level to support its cost structure, the Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and net cash outflows from operating activities.

The Company is actively pursuing various alternatives including government grants and loans, strategic partnerships, equity and debt financing to increase its liquidity and capital resources. During 2024, a government loan from Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario ("FedNor') was received in the amount of $5,267. On August 19, 2024, the Company was awarded US$20,000 in funding by the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") for the construction of the Refinery funded on a reimbursement basis. The award was made pursuant to Title III of the Defense Production Act (DPA) to expand domestic production capability. On November 25, 2024, the Company completed a private placement of US$1,000 as detailed in Note 11. On November 27, 2024, the Company issued secured convertible notes in the principal amount of US$4,000 as detailed in Note 11. On April 20, 2025, the Company announced the closing of a non-brokered private placement to raise aggregate gross proceeds up to US$3,500. The private placement consisted of units of the Company issued at a price of US$1.12 per unit (See Note 11).

Although the Company has historically been successful in obtaining financing in the past, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include the adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments may be material.

**2.** **Material Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation** 

 ****

***Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance***

The Company prepares its condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent annual financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies, estimates, and methods of application as our most recent annual financial statements, except as detailed in Note 3.

All amounts other than share and per share information on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 14, 2025.

Certain comparative amounts have been restated to conform with current accounting presentation.

**3.** **New Accounting Standards Issued** 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are either applicable in the current year or not mandatory for the current period. IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was issued by the IASB in April 2024, with mandatory application of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements. No standards have been early adopted in the current period.

Once construction is completed, the cumulative balance borrowed will be repaid in 19 equal quarterly instalments. The loan was discounted using a market rate between 7.0% and 17.1% with the resulting difference between the amortized cost and cash proceeds recognized as Government Grant.

On June 10, 2024, the Company received $5,000 in contribution funding from Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") to support the development of its proprietary battery materials recycling technology.

On August 19, 2024, the Company was awarded US$20,000 by the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD"). The award was made pursuant to Title III of the Defense Production Act ("DPA") to expand domestic production capability.

On March 21, 2025, the Company was provided with a non-binding letter of intent from the Canadian Federal government in the amount of $20,000. While the discussions between the parties are ongoing, there is no guarantee or assurance that a final agreement will be reached and/or funding will be provided to the Company.

**10.** **Convertible Note Arrangement** 

In January 2024, the terms of the 2028 Warrants were amended and the exercise price of US$9.92 was re-priced to $4.00. On November 27, 2024, in conjunction with the issuance of the 2027 Notes discussed below, the exercise price was amended from $4.00 to $3.40.

In addition, the 2028 Warrants included a revised acceleration clause such that their term will be reduced to thirty days in the event the closing price of the common shares on the TSXV exceeds $3.40 by twenty percent or more for ten consecutive trading days, with the reduced term beginning seven calendar days after such 10 consecutive trading-day period. Upon the occurrence of an acceleration event, noteholders of the 2028 Warrants may exercise the 2028 Warrants on a cashless basis, based on the value of the 2028 Warrants at the time of exercise.

On March 21, 2024, the Company satisfied $543 (US$401) of interest through the issuance of 210,760 common shares to certain noteholders. The share issuance was approved by the TSXV.

The 2028 Notes are secured by a first priority security interest (subject to customary permitted liens) in substantially all of the Company's assets, and the assets and/or equity of the secured guarantors. The 2028 Notes are subject to customary events of default and basic positive and negative covenants. The Company is required to maintain a reportable minimum liquidity balance of US$2,000 under the terms of the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes are convertible at the discretion of the lenders and as such have been classified as a current liability.

The 2027 Warrants were issued as replacement for warrants previously issued through an equity financing which took place on August 23, 2023 with an exercise price of $6.84. The same number of warrants were cancelled and re-issued as part of the 2027 Notes. 2027 Warrants met the fixed for fixed criteria and were classified as equity. The total proceeds were allocated between convertible notes and warrants using relative fair value on the issuance date. The fair value of warrants on issuance date was estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model approach with the following inputs: a risk-free rate of 3.20% per year, an expected life of 2 years, expected volatility based on historical prices of 70.00%, no expected dividends and a share price of $2.72.

On December 31, 2024, the Company completed a share consolidation on the basis of one new post-consolidation common share for every 4 pre-consolidation common shares. All prior share capital information has been presented based on this ratio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***b)***  ***Issued Share Capital*** 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued common shares as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Company issued 26,976 and 1,000 common shares for the exercise of restricted share units and warrants,
respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On April 14, 2025, the Company closed the first (occurring on April 3, 3025) and second tranches of its
non-brokered private placement, raising an aggregate gross proceeds of US$3,500 ($5,016). An aggregate of 3,125,000 units (each, a "Unit")
were issued at a price of US$1.12 per Unit under the private placement. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of
the Company and one transferable common share purchase warrant ("2026 Warrants"), with each warrant entitling the holder to
purchase one common share of the Company at a price of US$1.40 at any time for a period of eighteen (18) months following the issue date.
In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company paid an aggregate of US$219 in cash finders fees and issued 183,333 non-transferrable
finders warrants. Each finders warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of US$1.12 until
October 14, 2026. The finder warrants were measured based on the fair value of the warrants issued as the fair value of consideration
for the services cannot be estimated reliably.

The transaction represents a compound financial instrument that is accounted for based on the residual method. The liability component, which represents the 2026 Warrants, was evaluated based on the Black Scholes option pricing model in the amount of $1,258 on initial recognition. The residual balance of $3,758 was then allocated to the equity component (common shares issued). The transaction costs of $447 were allocated proportionately between the financial liability and the equity component. Transaction costs allocated to the equity component were accounted for as a deduction from equity of $337. Transaction costs allocated to the 2026 Warrants were recorded directly in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss of $110.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued common shares as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On February 27, 2024, the Company has settled a total of $134 of earned performance-based incentive cash
payments to certain non-officer employees by issuing a total of 41,314 common shares at a market price of $3.24 per share to these individuals.
The expense was recorded in salaries and benefits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On March 21, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 210,760 common shares at a market issue price of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 18,568 common shares for the exercise of deferred
share units, 130,414 common shares for the exercise of restricted share units and 2,084 for the exercise of performance share units.

**12.** **Share Based Payments** 

The Company adopted a long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") on December 20, 2024, whereby it can grant stock options, restricted share units ("RSUs"), Deferred Share Units ("DSUs"), and Performance Share Units ("PSUs") to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of shares that may be reserved for issuance under the LTIP is 3,150,000.

In 2024, the Company implemented an employee share purchase plan ("ESPP") to provide its employees an incentive to promote performance and growth potential over the long-term. The Company has reserved 250,000 common shares that can be issued under the ESPP.

Stock options generally vest in equal tranches over three years. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and this value is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. DSUs vest in one year but cannot be exercised until the holder ceases to be a Director or Officer of Electra. DSUs are valued based on the market price of the Company's common shares on the grant date. PSUs generally vest over 18 – 24 months if certain performance metrics have been achieved. They are valued based on the market price of the Company's shares on the grant date and this value is expensed over the vesting period. RSUs generally vest over 12 – 36 months. They are valued based on the market price of the Company's shares on the grant date and this value is expensed over the vesting period.

On November 27, 2024, in connection with the 2027 Notes, 1,136,364 detachable common share purchase warrants were issued as detailed in Note 11, which replaced 2023 private placement warrants.

On April 3 and 14 of 2025, 3,308,333 warrants ("2026 Warrants") were issued to subscribers in the Company's non-brokered private placement (Note 11). The total value of $1,258 was recorded as a derivative liability. The fair value of the warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model assuming a risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.40% to 2.58%, an expected life of 1.5 years, an expected volatility of 85.0% no expected dividends, and a share price ranging from $1.38 to $1.50. As part of the private placement, the Company issued 183,333 Broker Warrants as transaction costs. The fair value of the 2026 Warrants on initial recognition was $1,258 and $1,097 as of June 30, 2025.

**14.** **Loss Per Share** 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **For the three months <br> ended June 30,** | **For the three months <br> ended June 30,** | **For the six months <br> ended June 30,** | **For the six months <br> ended June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| **Numerator** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net loss for the period – basic and diluted | $(700) | $(5772) | $(13380) | $(17941) |
| **Denominator** |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic and Diluted – weighted average number of shares outstanding | 17807021 | 14159544 | 16317480 | 14159298 |
| **Loss Per Share – Basic and Diluted** | $(0.04) | $(0.41) | $(0.82) | $(1.27) |

---

The basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options, and share purchase warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive.

| FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars) |

---

Conversion option, share purchase warrants and stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 as the warrants and stock options were anti-dilutive.

**15.** **Management of Capital** 

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to ensure it has sufficient cash available to support its future Refinery expansion and exploration activities; and ensure compliance with debt covenants under the convertible notes arrangement.

The Company manages its capital structure, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, share capital and debt (convertible notes and loans), and will make adjustments depending on the funds available to the Company for its future Refinery expansion and exploration activities. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the size of the Company, is reasonable. Other than the reportable minimum liquidity balance covenant under the convertible note arrangement, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The convertible notes arrangement does not impose any quantitative ratio covenants on the Company in the normal course of construction and operation of its current assets.

**16.** **Fair Value Measurements** 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value

hierarchy, described, as follows, based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

<sup>1</sup> Components of 2028 and 2027 Notes payable, see Note 10.

<u>Valuation techniques</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*A) Marketable securities*

Marketable securities are included in Level 1 as these assets are quoted on active markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*B) Convertible Notes*

For the convertible notes payable designated at fair value through profit or loss, the valuation is derived by a finite difference method, whereby the convertible debt as a whole is viewed as a hybrid instrument consisting of two components, an equity component (i.e., the conversion option) and a debt component, each with different risks. The key inputs in the valuation include risk-free rates, share price, equity volatility, and credit spread. As there are significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation, the convertible notes payable is included in Level 3.

Methodologies and procedures regarding Level 3 fair value measurements are determined by the Company's management. Calculation of Level 3 fair values is generated based on underlying contractual data as well as observable and unobservable inputs. Development of unobservable inputs requires the use of significant judgment. To ensure reasonability, Level 3 fair value measurements are reviewed and validated by the Company's management. Review occurs formally on a quarterly basis or more frequently if review and monitoring procedures identify unexpected changes to fair value.

While the Company considers its fair value measurements to be appropriate, the use of reasonably alternative assumptions could result in different fair values. On a given valuation date, it is possible that other market participants could measure a same financial instrument at a different fair value, with the valuation techniques and inputs used by these market participants still meeting the definition of fair value. The fact that different fair value measurements exist reflects the judgment, estimates and assumptions applied as well as the uncertainty involved in determining the fair value of these financial instruments.

The fair value of the 2028 Notes has been estimated based on significant unobservable inputs which are equity volatility and credit spread. The Company used an equity volatility of 65% (December 31, 2024 – 63%). If the Company had used an equity volatility that was higher or lower by 10%, the potential effect would be an increase of $361 (December 31, 2024 - $963) or a decrease of $237 (December 31, 2024 - $826) to the fair value of the 2028 Notes. The Company used a credit spread of 28.1% (December 31, 2024 – 26.3%). If the Company had used a credit spread that was higher or lower by 5%, the potential effect would be a decrease of $4,253 (December 31, 2024 - $4,273) or an increase of $4,833 (December 31, 2024 - $4,901) to the fair value of convertible note payable.

The fair value of the 2027 Notes has been estimated based on significant unobservable inputs which are equity volatility and credit spread. The Company used an equity volatility of 65% (December 31, 2024 – 63%). If the Company had used an equity volatility that was higher or lower by 10%, the potential effect would be an increase of $203 (December 31, 2024 - $204) or a decrease of $230 (December 31, 2024 - $198) to the fair value of the convertible note payable. The Company used a credit spread of 28.1% (December 31, 2024 – 26.3%). If the Company had used a credit spread that was higher or lower by 5%, the potential effect would be a decrease of $302 (December 31, 2024 - $218) or an increase of $344 (December 31, 2024 – $275) to the fair value of convertible note payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*C) Warrants – Convertible Notes*

The 2028 Warrants issued are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss are valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model to better model the variability in exercise date. The key inputs in the valuation include risk-free rates and equity volatility. As there are significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation, the financial derivative liability is included in Level 3.

The fair value of the 2028 Warrants has been estimated using a significant unobservable input which is equity volatility. The Company used an equity volatility of 65% (December 31, 2024 – 63%). If the Company had used an equity volatility that was higher or lower by 10%, the potential effect would be an increase of $249 (December 31, 2024 - $200) or a decrease of $135 (December 31, 2024 - $227) to the fair value of the warrants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*D) Royalty* 

The fair value of the Royalty has been estimated at inception using a discounted cash flow model. The key inputs in the valuation include the effective interest rate of 19.2% and cash flows estimates of future operating and gross revenues. As there are significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation, the Royalty is included in Level 3. A 10% increase or decrease in the effective interest rate would be an increase of $268 (December 31, 2024 - $250) or a decrease of $218 (December 31, 2024 - $213) to the fair value of the royalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*E) Other Financial Derivative Liability (US Warrants and 2026 Warrants)*

The fair value of the embedded derivative on US Warrants issued in foreign currency as at June 30, 2025 was $Nil (December 31, 2024 - $Nil) and is accounted for at FVTPL. The valuation of warrants where the strike price is in US dollars and the warrants can be exercised at a time prior to expiry. The Company uses a Monte Carlo Simulation Model to better model the variability in exercise dates. The key inputs in the valuation include risk-free rates and equity volatility. As there are significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation, the financial derivative liability is included in Level 3.

The fair value of the embedded derivative on 2026 Warrants issued in foreign currency as at June 30, 2025 was $Nil (December 31, 2024 - $Nil) and is accounted for at FVTPL. The valuation of warrants where the strike price is in US dollars and the warrants can be exercised at a time prior to expiry. The Company uses the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The key inputs in the valuation include risk-free rates and equity volatility. As there are significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation, the financial derivative liability is included in Level 3.

The Company used an equity volatility of 77%. If the Company used an equity volatility that was higher or lower by 10%, the potential effect would be an increase of $249 or a decrease of $135 to the fair value of the embedded derivative.

**17.** **Commitments and Contingencies**

#### Company Information
Electra Battery Materials Corporation was incorporated on July 13, 2011 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia (the "Act"). On September 4, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Continuance into Canada and adopted Articles of Continuance as a Federal Company under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA"). On December 6, 2021, the Company changed its corporate name from First Cobalt Corp. to Electra Battery Materials Corporation to better align with its strategic vision.

The Company is in the business of producing battery materials, including refining material from mining operations and from the recycling of battery scrap and end of life batteries. Electra is focused on building a diversified portfolio of assets that are highly leveraged to critical minerals and the battery supply chain with assets located in North America. The Company has two significant North American assets:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a hydrometallurgical refinery located in Ontario, Canada (the "Refinery"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a number of properties and option agreements within the Idaho Cobalt Belt (the "Idaho Properties"),
including the Company's flagship mineral project, Iron Creek (the "Iron Creek Project").

Electra is a public company whose common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") and trades under the symbol ELBM in both cases.

The Company's registered and records office is Suite 2400, Bay-Adelaide Centre, 333 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2T6. The Company's head office is located at 133 Richmond Street W, Suite 602, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2L3.

#### Highlights
**Six months ended June 30, 2025 and through the date of this document, and includes some history for context.**

*Refinery Project*

The Company continued progressing plans to recommission and expand the Refinery with a view to becoming the first refiner of battery grade cobalt sulfate in North America.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Ethical Sourcing Update: July 31, 2025, the Company announced the start of the metallurgical testing on
cobalt feedstock from two strategic North American sources: the historic Cobalt Camp in Ontario and the Company's Iron Creek cobalt
and copper project in Idaho. The objective of this initiative is to strengthen and diversify Electra's cobalt refinery feedstock
pipeline by integrating domestic sources alongside existing global supply partners. On February 6<sup>th</sup>, the Company also established
an MOU with Nord Precious Metals including a framework to process potential future cobalt-bearing silver concentrates at Electra's
Refinery in Ontario. On commissioning and in the medium term, cobalt feed requirements for Electra's refinery will be met through
agreements with Glencore and Eurasian Resources Group (ERG), two leaders in the supply of ethical cobalt.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Early Works Project: On June 19, 2025, the Company announced the launch of an early works program which
encompasses targeted site-level activities to prepare for the restart of the full-scale construction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Production Capacity: The Refinery is expected to produce up to 6,500 tonnes of cobalt per year, once fully
operational, supporting over 1 million electric vehicles ("EVs") annually.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Sales Agreement: LG Energy Solutions has agreed to purchase up to 80% of the Refinery's capacity
over the first five years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Strategic Importance: The Refinery could support the North American defense industrial base needs by diversifying
critical supply chains for lithium-ion battery production.

*Refining & Recycling of Black Mass*

 

The Company launched a black mass trial late in 2022 at the Refinery to recover high-value elements found in shredded lithium-ion batteries. To date, Electra has produced quality nickel-cobalt mixed hydroxide, technical grade lithium carbonate, and graphite products in its black mass recycling trial, and the Company continues to advance this project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Black
Mass Refining: On June 5, 2025, the Company announced the completion of a feasibility level Class 3 Engineering Study for the construction
of a modular battery recycling facility adjacent to its cobalt sulfate refinery. The facility will be designed to recover lithium, nickel,
cobalt, manganese, and graphite from lithium-ion battery manufacturing scrap and end-of-life batteries using Electra's proprietary
hydrometallurgical process. A successful 2023 trial processed 40 tonnes of black mass from shredded lithium-ion batteries, recovering
critical minerals including nickel, cobalt, and lithium.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Technical
Grade Lithium: The Company successfully produced a technical-grade lithium product in 2024, marking further advances in its capabilities
to produce critical materials for the EV industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Joint
Venture with Three Fires Group: On June 12, 2025, the Company and Three Fires Group announced significant progress on Aki Battery Recycling
joint venture. Aki is Canada's first Indigenous-led lithium-ion battery recycling initiative, advancing a low-emission, circular
solution for battery waste. Since launching in 2024, Aki has shortlisted technology partners, engaged with government for funding, and
is evaluating sites near First Nations lands. Through partnership with Electra's refinery, Aki aims to establish a fully Canadian
closed-loop supply chain for critical battery materials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Environmental
and Social Impact: The Aki joint venture aims to reduce the carbon footprint of the battery materials supply chain and contribute to
the participation of First Nations communities in the energy transition.

*Government Support & Financing*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Government
of Canada Letter of Intent ("LOI"): On March 21, 2025, the Company announced receipt of a funding proposal for $20,000 to
support construction of the Refinery.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· This
is in addition to the August 2024 U.S. Department of Defense Award of US$20,000 under Title III of the Defense Production Act and a non-binding
term sheet for a US$20,000 investment from a strategic battery materials partner received on September 10, 2024, both to support completion
of Refinery construction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Convertible Notes Update: On March 5, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of
its senior secured debt that enhances the Company's financial flexibility. Under this agreement, lenders have agreed to defer all
interest payments until February 15, 2027, allowing Electra to invest its capital towards completing its cobalt refinery rather than debt
servicing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On July 30, 2025, the Company received a waiver from the noteholders to reduce the reportable minimum
liquidity balance covenant to US$1,000 (from US$2,000) for the 2028 Notes and 2027 Notes until August 31, 2025. In connection with the
waiver, the Company has commenced discussions with the noteholders regarding the potential restructuring of the outstanding notes. Such
discussions include the potential equitization of a portion of the outstanding notes, with a view to providing additional liquidity to
the Company. Discussions are preliminary in nature and there can be no certainty they will result in a transaction or what the terms of
such a transaction will be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Equity Financing: On April 14, 2025, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement to raise gross
proceeds of US$3,500 to advance Refinery construction and for general corporate purposes.

 

*Idaho Exploration*

 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
February 20, 2025, the Company provided an update on its exploration efforts at the CAS Property in the Idaho Cobalt Belt, U.S.A. Recent
and historical data from CAS highlight high-grade gold values over significant intervals and underscore the growing importance of the
CAS Property to Electra's Idaho exploration strategy. The presence of high-grade gold mineralization at CAS adds further strategic
value to Electra's Idaho holdings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
Company received a 10-year exploration permit in late 2024 from the U.S. Forestry Service for an area encompassing the Iron Creek and
Ruby Deposits Property and the adjacent CAS and Redcastle Options Agreement Properties in the Idaho Cobalt Belt.

 

*Corporate*

 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
February 25, 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Alden Greenhouse to the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Greenhouse
is currently the Vice-President, Critical & Strategic Minerals for Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, a leading Canadian mining company
with global operations. In his current role, Mr. Greenhouse oversees Agnico Eagle's initiatives related to critical and strategic
minerals.

The Company's primary focus remains on its Refinery project, enhancing supply chain resilience, and securing financing to support the expansion of its critical minerals operations, while advancing the Idaho Properties.

#### Projects & Outlook
The Company's vision is to build a North American supply of battery materials with a focus on refining material from mining operations and from the recycling of battery scrap and end of life batteries. The Company's primary asset is the wholly owned Refinery located in Ontario, Canada. The Company also owns the Idaho Properties within the Idaho cobalt belt in the United States. The Idaho Properties include the Iron Creek cobalt-copper project and other minerals projects. The Company also holds royalty interests over several silver and cobalt properties in Ontario known as the Cobalt Camp.

*The Refinery*

The Company has been progressing plans to recommission and expand the Refinery with a view to becoming the first refiner of battery grade cobalt sulfate in North America. Electra's primary focus is to advance the expansion and recommissioning of the Refinery, as the first phase of a multiphase plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Phase 1 involves the expansion and recommissioning of the Company's Refinery, with an initial production
target of 5,000 tonnes per year of battery-grade cobalt sulfate, sourced from cobalt hydroxide supplied by certified mining operations
in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Phase 2 includes a permit amendment and further expansion of certain refinery circuits to increase cobalt
production to 6,500 tonnes per year of battery-grade cobalt sulfate, matching the Refinery's crystallization circuit's nameplate
capacity. The Company has invested in larger equipment to enable this future production increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Phase 3 focuses on the recycling of black mass from spent lithium-ion batteries, sourced from various
battery shredders in the United States and other regions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Phase 4 involves the construction of a nickel sulfate plant, providing essential components (excluding
manganese) to attract a precursor manufacturer to add to the Company's refining operations.

In 2020, the Company announced the results of an engineering study on the expansion of the Refinery that demonstrated that the facility could become a significant, globally competitive producer of cobalt sulfate for the electric vehicle market. The engineering study determined the Refinery could produce 25,000 tonnes of battery-grade cobalt sulfate annually (equating to approximately 5,000 tonnes of cobalt contained in sulfate), which would represent approximately 5% of the total refined global cobalt market and 100% of the North American cobalt sulfate supply. The study indicated strong operating margins at the asset level.

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

The Company initiated construction to recommission the facility in 2022, however paused construction in 2023 due to impacts of post-COVID inflation and supply chain disruptions on project schedule and costs. It was determined that approximately US$60,000 would be required to complete the construction. This construction cost estimate was as of 2023 and does not include inflation or escalation to current pricing. All long-lead, custom-fabricated equipment is on site, and the facility was operational throughout 2023 as a plant scale demonstration plant, processing battery black mass. The Company started an early works program budgeted at approximately C$750,000 particularly focused on advancing the solvent extraction facility. At this time, the Company will require additional financing to continue operations and complete the construction of the Refinery.

*Refining & Recycling of Black Mass*

 

Black mass is the material left after expired lithium-ion batteries are shredded and their casings removed. It contains high-value elements including nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, lithium, and graphite, which can be recycled to make new batteries. With increasing demand for these metals and a projected supply shortage of sustainable critical minerals such as nickel and cobalt, black mass recycling is increasingly important to the EV battery supply chain. McKinsey & Company predicts that available battery materials for recycling will grow by 20% per year through 2040.

In February 2023, Electra completed the first plant-scale recycling of black mass material in North America, successfully recovering key metals including nickel, cobalt, and graphite using its proprietary process. By March 2023, the plant was also recovering lithium and successfully produced mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) at contained metal grades for nickel and cobalt above quoted market specifications. The trial also recovered copper and manganese. In the fall of 2024, the Company achieved a key milestone, producing lithium carbonate with greater than 99% purity, or technical grade, confirming it can produce high-quality, battery-grade materials from recycled black mass. To date, the Company has shipped approximately 28 tonnes of MHP to customers.

This has attracted interest from companies in the battery supply chain looking for North American refining solutions, and in June 2024, the Company received a $5,000 funding commitment from Canada's Critical Mineral Research Development & Demonstration Program to demonstrate that its hydrometallurgical process can recycle black mass on a continuous production basis, to prove it is scalable, profitable, and reproducible at other locations.

On June 5, 2025, the Company completed a feasibility level Class 3 Engineering study for the construction of a modular battery recycling facility adjacent to its cobalt refinery north of Toronto, building on the technology and expertise accumulated during a year-long black mass recycling trial, whereby Electra produced technical grade lithium and a nickel and cobalt product from end-of-life lithium batteries.

The facility will be designed to recover lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and graphite from lithium-ion battery manufacturing scrap and end of life batteries using the Company's hydrometallurgical process. The next phase of work, funded in part by Natural Resources Canada, will involve operating and recycling process under continuous and semi-continuous conditions to simulate commercial scale throughput.

*Exploration & Evaluation Assets*

The Company is focused on building a North American battery materials supply chain. The Company's Idaho Properties include the Iron Creek Project, its flagship exploration property; with a March 2023 resource estimate (the "2023 MRE"). The properties cover approximately 3,260 hectares with both patented and unpatented claims, as well as 600 meters of underground drifting. In addition to the Iron Creek resource, there are numerous cobalt-copper targets on the property.

The 2023 MRE includes a mineral resource estimate based on all drilling conducted through the end of 2022. The resource model calculated an indicated mineral resource of 4.45 million tonnes at 0.19% Co and 0.73% Cu and an inferred mineral resource of 1.23 million tonnes at 0.08% Co and 1.34% Cu. The mineralization remains open along strike and downdip. The resource does not include the Ruby target which has had insufficient drilling conducted to effectively calculate a volume and grade of mineralization. Management believes that there is potential to continue to expand the size of the Iron Creek resource and continue drilling at the Ruby target.

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

In July 2024, the Company announced a previously unknown copper surface showing, the Malachite Hill Copper Showing (the "MHS"), on an unexplored boundary area of the Redcastle Agreement claims portion of the Idaho properties. The Malachite Copper Showing was discovered in 2023 and assay results of outcrop grab samples indicate elevated copper (maximum = 2,660 parts per million copper), and low cobalt values. This finding demonstrates the presence of favourable host rocks at surface in this area of the Redcastle Property; however, the extent of the surface mineralization exposure remains to be determined. Interestingly, the MHS appears to be located approximately two (2) kilometres along strike (southeast) of Electra's Ruby cobalt-copper target.

In the latter half of 2024, the Company received a Decision Notice for the Iron Creek Exploration Drilling from U.S. Forestry Service. The 10-year exploration permit allows the Company to undertake exploration activities including setting up 91 drilling locations, along with constructing temporary access roads and staging areas, over 11.3 acres of the Idaho properties.

In February of 2025, the Company provided an update on its exploration efforts at the CAS Property in the Idaho Cobalt Belt, U.S.A. Recent and historical data from CAS highlight high-grade gold values over significant intervals and underscore the growing importance of the CAS Property to Electra's Idaho exploration strategy. The presence of high-grade gold mineralization at CAS adds further strategic value to Electra's Idaho holdings. Between 2003 and 2006, over 2,600m of drilling was conducted over on the CAS Property, identifying significant gold values. Copper-rich massive sulfide boulders were also discovered nearby, but despite previous exploration the bedrock source of this style of mineralization has not been found. The most notable highlights from previous drilling include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· IC03-02 6.2m from 77.4m at 8.3 g/t Au and 0.51% Co

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· IC03-03 1.5m from 72.8m at 8.5 g/t Au and 0.54% Co

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· IC03-04 4.6m from 128.0m at 8.3 g/t Au and 0.34% Co

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· IC03-07 3.0m from 41.1m at 9.2 g/t Au and 0.08% Co

Electra holds a significant land position in the Idaho Cobalt Belt, including the Iron Creek deposit and the highly prospective Ruby target area. The CAS Property option expands this footprint and opens the door for potential collaboration with gold-focused explorers.

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

On January 12, 2024, the company received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and warrant holders to amend the terms of 10,796,054 outstanding warrants associated with the 2028 Notes expiring in February 2028. The amendments included lowering the exercise price to $4.00 per share and adding an acceleration clause, which shortens the term to 30 days if the stock price exceeds $4.80 for ten consecutive trading days. In such cases, warrants could be exercised on a cashless basis.

On March 13, 2024, the TSXV approved the issuance of common shares to settle US$401 in interest associated with the 2028 Notes. On March 21, 2024, the Company issued 210,760 shares at a deemed price of $2.58 per share, based on a 5-day volume-weighted average price, to partially satisfy interest payments on the US$51,000 in convertible notes.

On August 28, 2024, Altitude Capital Consultants Inc. ("Altitude") was engaged for an initial term of twelve months. The Company granted Altitude 250,000 incentive stock options in accordance with the Company's long-term incentive plan, exercisable at a price of $3.28 for a period of three-years, which vested in four equal quarterly tranches over a one-year period. The Company is at arms-length from Altitude and its principals, and the services provided by Altitude do not include investor relations or promotional activities.

On November 27, 2024, the Company issued additional 2028 Notes to the noteholders, in the principal amount of US$6,521, as payment-in-kind for all outstanding accrued interest owing on the 2028 Notes through to August 15, 2024. The additional 2028 Notes carry the same payment conversion terms as the balance of the 2028 Notes and were issued pursuant to a supplement to the indenture dated February 13, 2023, entered into among the Company and GLAS Trust Company LLC as trustee for the 2028 Notes and their noteholders.

Following the amendment of additional 2028 Notes, the exercise price of the 2028 Warrants was reduced to $3.40 per share. In addition, the 2028 Warrants now include a revised acceleration clause such that their term will be reduced to thirty days in the event the closing price of the common shares on the TSXV exceeds $3.40 by twenty percent or more for ten consecutive trading dates, with the reduced term beginning seven calendar days after such ten consecutive trading-day period. Upon the occurrence of an acceleration event, noteholders of the 2028 Warrants may exercise the 2028 Warrants on a cashless basis, based on the value of the 2028 Warrants at the time of exercise.

On December 31, 2024, the Company completed a reverse share split of its outstanding common share capital on the basis of four (4) pre-Reverse Split shares for every one (1) post-Reverse Split share. At the opening of markets on January 2, 2025, the common shares of the Company commenced trading on a post-Reverse Split basis under the existing ticker symbol "ELBM". The exercise price and the number of common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants and other outstanding securities, including comparative figures, were adjusted to reflect the reverse share split under the terms of such securities for the holders of such instruments.

On March 5, 2025, the Company announced an agreement with the holders of its senior secured debt to defer all interest payments until February 15, 2027, allowing Electra to invest its capital towards completing its cobalt refinery rather than debt servicing. The agreement covers all outstanding 2028 Notes and 2027 Notes. As consideration for this deferral, Electra will pay additional interest of 2.25% per annum on the 2028 Notes and 2.5% per annum on the 2027 Notes.

On April 14, 2025, the Company closed the final tranche of its oversubscribed non-brokered private placement raising aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$3,500 (the "Offering"), the first tranche of which closed on April 3, 2025.

Under the Offering, an aggregate of 3,125,000 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") were issued at a price of US$1.12 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one common share in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") and one transferable common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"), with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of US$1.40 at any time for a period of eighteen (18) months following the issue date. The net proceeds raised from the Offering will be used to advance the Company's Refinery project site in Temiskaming Shores, Ontario and for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company paid an aggregate of US$219 in cash finders fees and issued 183,333 non-transferrable finders warrants (each, a "Finders Warrant"). Each Finders Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share of the Company at an exercise price of US$1.12 per common share until October 14, 2026.

The Company is actively pursuing various alternatives including equity and debt financing to increase its liquidity and capital resources to fund Refinery expenditures. The Company will also need working capital funding for the purchase of consumables before the startup of operations.

*Liquidity*

The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet operational and asset advancement requirements as well as ensuring compliance with the minimum reportable liquidity balance covenant.

At June 30, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cash of $2,927 (December 31, 2024 - $3,717) compared to accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $4,857 (December 31, 2024 - $3,579).

At this time, the Company does not have sufficient financial resources necessary to complete the construction and final commissioning of the Refinery and will require additional financing in 2025 to continue operations, complete the construction of the Refinery, advance its battery recycling strategy, and remain in compliance with the reportable minimum liquidity covenant under the 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes. Failure to remain in compliance with the liquidity terms may result in the instrument becoming due before the contractual maturity.

The Company had the following summarized cash flows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Six months ended June 30, 2025** | **Six months ended June 30, 2024** |
| Cash used in operation activities | $(4717) | $(7951) |
| Cash used / provided in /by investing activities | (689) | 940 |
| Cash provided by financing activities | 4596 | 4229 |
| Change in cash during the period | (810) | (2782) |
| Effect of exchange rates | 20 | 23 |
| Cash, beginning of period | 3717 | 7560 |
| Cash, end of the period | $2927 | $4801 |

---

Cash used in operating activities was $4,717 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $7,951 used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was driven primarily by changes in working capital.

Cash used in investing activities was $689 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $940 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cash used in investing activities relates to the increase in capital spending.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $4,596 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the $4,229 from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change was primarily driven by proceeds from private financing which closed on April 14, 2025, compared to receipt of FedNor funds in 2024.

#### Commitments
From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may become defendants in legal actions and the Company take appropriate measures to minimize the impact. Electra is not aware of any claims against the Company that could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or the ability to carry on any of its business activities.

The Company's commitments relate to purchase and services commitments for work programs relating to refinery expansion and payments under financing arrangements.

#### Risk Management
*Financial Risk Factors*

The Company's risk exposure and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:

*Liquidity Risk* 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company does not have sufficient financial resources necessary to complete the construction and final commissioning of the Refinery and the Company is going through a planning and budgeting process to update the capital estimates and completion schedule associated with the Refinery. The Company attempts to ensure there is sufficient access to funds to meet ongoing business requirements, considering its current cash position and potential funding sources. Although the Company has historically been successful in obtaining financing in the past, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future. The Company has future obligations to pay semi-annual interest payments and the principal upon maturity related to the convertible debt. The semi-annual interest payments have been deferred to February 2027. Repayment of the interest-free loan from Canada's Critical Mineral Research Development & Demonstration Program begins in 2026, subject to further agreement to defer repayment. Upon the issuance of the 2028 Notes and retirement of the previously outstanding 2026 Notes in February 2023, the Company is subject to a reportable minimum cash balance requirement of US$2,000.

*Credit Risk*

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash which are being held with major Canadian banks that are high-credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.

*Interest Rate Risk*

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. Company currently does not have any financial instruments that are linked to LIBOR, SOFR, or any form of a floating market interest rate. Therefore, changes in the market interest rate does not have an impact on the Company as at June 30, 2025.

*Foreign Currency Risk*

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the Company's functional currency, Canadian Dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, receivables, and accrued liabilities that are denominated in US Dollars. In addition, the Company's 2028 Notes are denominated in US dollars and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will impact the Canadian dollar amounts required to settle interest and principal payments for these convertible notes. The Company has not used derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk nor has it entered foreign exchange contracts to hedge against gains or losses from foreign exchange.

*Business Risks and Uncertainties*

There are many risk factors facing companies involved in the mineral exploration industry. Risk Management is an ongoing exercise upon which the Company spends a substantial amount of time. While it is not possible to eliminate all the risks inherent to the industry, the Company strives to manage these risks, to the greatest extent possible. The following risks are most applicable to the Company.

**ELECTRA BATTERY MATERIALS CORPORATION**

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

*Going Concern*

As discussed above, the Company will require additional financing in 2025 to continue operations, complete the construction of the Refinery, advance its battery recycling strategy and remain in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the 2028 Notes and 2027 Notes. The Company is actively pursuing various alternatives including equity and debt financing to increase its liquidity and capital resources, which include discussions with the noteholders of Company regarding a potential restructuring of the outstanding notes. The Company is also in discussion with various parties on alternatives to finance the funding of feedstock purchases. Although the Company has historically been successful in obtaining financing in the past, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future. This represents a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial information presented does not include the adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments may be material.

*Financing* 

The Company has raised funds through grants, equity financing and debt arrangements to fund its operations and the advancement of the Refinery. The market price of natural resources, specifically cobalt prices, is highly speculative and volatile. Instability in prices may affect the interest in resource assets and the development of and production from such properties. This may adversely affect the Company's ability to raise capital or obtain debt to fund corporate activities and growth initiatives. The completion of the Refinery project is dependent on additional financing.

*Technical Capabilities of the Refinery*

The Company's strategic priority is the advancement of the Refinery, with significant engineering studies and metallurgical testing conducted to date. There is no assurance that the final refining process will have the capabilities to produce specific end products. The Company manages this risk by employing and contracting technical experts in metallurgy and engineering to support refinery process decisions.

*Ability to Meet Debt Service Obligations*

The Company has debt obligations under the Notes, which include ongoing coupon payments and payment of principal at maturity. In the event, that the refinery construction is not completed as planned or sufficient cash flow from refinery operations is not generated, there is a risk that the Company may not have sufficient available capital to meet its debt obligations. Additionally, the Company is subject to certain covenants related to the Notes, which include minimum liquidity of US$2,000. Should the Company breach a covenant or be unable to service the debt, the assets pledged may be transferred to the lenders.

*Macroeconomic Risks*

Political and economic instability (including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and war in Israel), global or regional adverse conditions, such as pandemics or other disease outbreaks (including the COVID-19 global outbreak) or natural disasters, currency exchange rates, trade tariff developments, transport availability and cost, including import-related taxes, transport security, inflation and other factors are beyond the Company's control. The macroeconomic environment remains challenging, and the Company's results of operations could be materially affected by such macroeconomic conditions.

*Industry and Mineral Exploration Risk*

Mineral exploration is highly speculative, involves many risks and frequently is non-productive. There is no assurance that the Company's exploration efforts will be successful. At present, the Company's projects do not contain any proven or probable reserves. Success in establishing reserves is a result of several factors, including the quality of the project itself. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves or resources through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Because of these uncertainties, no assurance can be given that planned exploration programs will result in the establishment of mineral resources or reserves. The Company may be subject to risks, which could not reasonably be predicted in advance. Events such as labour disputes, natural disasters or estimation errors are prime examples of industry-related risks. The Company attempts to balance this risk through ongoing risk assessments conducted by its technical team.

**ELECTRA BATTERY MATERIALS CORPORATION**

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

*Commodity Prices*

The Company's mineral exploration operations and its prospects are largely dependent on movements in the price of various minerals. Prices fluctuate daily and are affected by several factors well beyond the control of the Company. The mineral exploration industry in general is a competitive market and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of proven and probable reserves are discovered, a profitable market may exist. The Company has not entered any price hedging programs.

*Environmental*

Exploration projects or operations are subject to the environmental laws and applicable regulations of the jurisdiction in which the Company operates. Environmental standards continue to evolve, and the trend is to a longer, more complete and rigid process. The Company reviews environmental matters on an ongoing basis. If and when appropriate, the Company will make appropriate provisions in its financial statements for any potential environmental liability.

*Title of Assets* 

Although the Company conducts title reviews in accordance with industry practice prior to any purchase of resource assets, such reviews do not guarantee that an unforeseen defect in the chain on title will not arise and defeat our title to the purchased assets. If such a defect were to occur, our entitlement to the production from such purchased assets could be jeopardized.

*Competition*

The Company expects to compete in the burgeoning North American Critical Minerals Industry with the completion of the Cobalt Sulfate refinery. The industry is developing in Canada with new entrants expected in the short term. Many of these competitors have substantially longer histories in the industry as well as substantially greater financial, sales and marketing resources than the Company.

The Company engages in the highly competitive resource exploration industry. The Company competes directly and indirectly with major and independent resource companies in its exploration for and development of desirable resource properties. Many companies and individuals are engaged in this business, and the industry is not dominated by any single competitor or a small number of competitors. Many of such competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales, marketing, and other resources, as well as greater historical market acceptance than does the Company. The Company will compete with numerous industry participants for the acquisition of land and rights to prospects, and for the equipment and labour required to operate and develop such prospects.

Competition could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. Such competitive disadvantages could adversely affect the Company's ability to participate in projects with favorable rates of return.

*Cybersecurity*

The Company's operations depend, in part, on how well it and its third-party service providers protect networks, equipment, information technology ("IT") systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism and theft. The Company's operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increase in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company's reputation and results of operations.

**ELECTRA BATTERY MATERIALS CORPORATION**

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

The Company's information technology systems and on-line activities, including its e-commerce websites, also may be subject to denial of service, malware or other forms of cyberattacks. While the Company has taken measures to protect against those types of attacks, those measures may not adequately protect its on-line activities from such attacks. The Company's risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access is a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

*U.S. Legislative and Regulatory Policies.*

The recent election of President Trump may result in legislative and regulatory changes that could have an adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition. In particular, there is uncertainty regarding U.S. tariffs and support for existing treaty and trade relationships, including with Canada. Implementation by the U.S. government of new legislative or regulatory policies could impose additional costs on the Company, decrease U.S. demand for the Company's products, or otherwise negatively impact the Company, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operations. In addition, this uncertainty may adversely impact: (i) the ability of companies to transact business with companies such as the Company; (ii) the Company's profitability; (iii) regulation affecting the Canadian natural resources and mineral industry; (iv) global stock markets (including the TSXV); and (v) general global economic conditions. All of these factors are outside of the Company's control, but may nonetheless lead the Company to adjust its strategy in order to compete effectively in global markets.

Additional information on risks and uncertainties relating to The Company's business is provided in the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 28, 2025 ("AIF"), under the heading "Risk Factors". Additional information relating to Electra, including the AIF, is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.

#### Significant Accounting Estimates
Refer to Note 3 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

#### Future Changes in Accounting Policies & Initial Adoption
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are either applicable in the current year or not mandatory for the current period.

In addition, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was issued by the IASB in April 2024, with mandatory application of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements. No standards have been early adopted in the current period.

#### Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company are responsible for designing internal controls over financial reporting or causing them to be designed under their supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Although progress continues to bee made strengthening Internal Controls over Financing Reporting ("ICFR") during 2024 and 2025, management acknowledges certain significant deficiencies in its internal controls over financial reporting. These deficiencies are not uncommon for an early-stage, pre-revenue company with a small finance team and limited resources. Like many small companies at a similar stage of development, Electra has not yet implemented the full suite of systems, processes, and personnel typically found in more mature organizations. Management continues to assess and enhance its internal controls as the company scales and transitions toward commercial operations.

Page 17 of 18

**ELECTRA BATTERY MATERIALS CORPORATION**

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

Management identified the following areas where significant deficiencies exist:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Control Environment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The Company has added trained financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate skills and
knowledge regarding the design, implementation, and operation of internal controls over financing reporting. The team is in the process
of implementing and improving processes and procedures to identify, monitor and improve IFRS and DCP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Procurement, Payment and Receiving Processes

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The Company continues to improve reporting and receiving processes to ensure adherence to the Company's
policies at the Company's Refinery project.

*Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

Similar to ICFR, the Company has improved its Disclosure Controls and Procedures ("DCP") during the 2024 and 2025 period. Nevertheless, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer note similar deficiencies in the disclosure controls and procedures as in the ICFR.

*Limitations of Controls and Procedures*

The Company's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that any internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed, can have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

**Electra Files Second Quarter 2025 Financial Reports**

TORONTO, Aug. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- **Electra Battery Materials Corporation (NASDAQ: ELBM; TSX-V: ELBM)** ("Electra" or the "Company") today announced the filing of its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

During the second quarter of 2025, Electra launched early works activities to prepare for resumption of construction of its cobalt refinery and began metallurgical testing of domestic cobalt feedstock from the Cobalt Camp in Ontario and the Iron Creek project in Idaho. The Company also completed a feasibility level Class 3 Engineering Study for a new battery recycling facility to be built on the same site as the cobalt refinery, forming part of an integrated metallurgical complex in Ontario. These steps demonstrate disciplined advancement focused on reinforcing Electra's position as a cornerstone of North American battery materials production.

**Activities from the Quarter:**

* **Early Works Initiated at Cobalt Refinery:** In June, Electra launched site-level activities to support the restart of construction at North America's only cobalt sulfate refinery focused on advancing high-priority activities in the solvent extraction (SX) area including installation of equipment and completion of structural work.

* **North American Feedstock Testing Launched:** On July 31<sup>st</sup>, Electra commenced metallurgical testing of North American cobalt feedstock from two sources, its Iron Creek project in Idaho and legacy operations in the historic Cobalt Camp in Ontario. The initiative supports the Company's goal of diversifying its future feedstock supply with ethical, domestic sources.

* **Battery Recycling Refinery Engineering Study Completed**: Electra completed a feasibility level Class 3 Engineering Study in early June for a new battery recycling refinery to be located adjacent to its existing cobalt refinery in Temiskaming Shores, Ontario. The study builds on Electra's successful 2023 black mass demonstration and supports its strategy to enable a closed-loop North American battery materials solution.

* **Aki Joint Venture with Three Fires Group Advanced:** Electra and its Indigenous partner, Three Fires Group, made progress on the Aki Battery Recycling joint venture, poised to become Canada's first Indigenous-led lithium-ion battery recycling initiative. Key developments include shortlisting of technology partners, potential site evaluations, and government engagement.

"The second quarter demonstrated Electra's continued financial discipline and focus on enhancing flexibility as we work to align our capital structure with the Company's long-term strategic goals of advancing the critical infrastructure that will help reshape the North American battery materials landscape," said Electra CFO, Marty Rendall.

The Company's cash position at the end of the quarter was C$3 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, Electra received a temporary waiver from the holders of the Company's senior secured debt to reduce the reportable minimum liquidity balance to US$1 million. In connection with the waiver, the Company has commenced discussions with the debtholders and other prospective investors regarding a range of potential consensual transactions, including the potential equitization of a portion of the outstanding debt, with a view to strengthening liquidity. Discussions are preliminary in nature and there can be no certainty they will result in a transaction or on what terms any transaction may occur.

"With the global spotlight now squarely on securing domestic supply chains, governments across North America are backing efforts to reduce reliance on foreign sources of critical minerals, and Electra is preparing to answer that call," said CEO, Trent Mell. "Our permitted cobalt refinery is a brownfield asset with a proven flowsheet, strategic partnerships, and most of the critical equipment already delivered to site. While we continue to work collaboratively with stakeholders to strengthen our capital structure, our primary focus remains on bringing this facility into production. We are also taking measured steps to advance our battery recycling platform and broaden our feedstock pipeline. Together, these efforts reinforce Electra's leadership in building a secure, circular, and low-carbon battery materials supply chain."

The Company's second quarter 2025 financial reports are available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.com) and the Company's website (www.ElectraBMC.com).
