***Project Overview***

Smackover Lithium, a JV between the Company and Equinor ("**Equinor**") announced a maiden inferred resource for its Franklin Project. This report for the JV's first project in the East Texas region of the Smackover highlights the size and quality of its brine position. It contains the highest reported lithium-in-brine grades in North America and marks a key step towards the ultimate goal of reaching production of over 100,000 tonnes of lithium chemicals per year in Texas through multiple phases. This goal is further supported by two additional projects that the JV is planning to develop in East Texas that roughly triples the size of the portfolio area in the state.

**Notes:**

|:---|:---|
| [1] | Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the Mineral Resource will be converted into a Mineral Reserve. |

---

[2] Numbers may not add up due to rounding.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| [3] | The resource estimate was completed and reported using a cut-off of 6% porosity (net aquifer) and 100 mg/L lithium and 1,000 mg/L for bromide and potassium. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| [4] | The inferred resource estimate was developed and classified in accordance with guidelines established by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. The associated technical report was completed in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administration's National Instrument 43-101 – *Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects* ("**NI 43-101**") and all associated documents and amendments. As per these guidelines, the resource was estimated in terms of metallic (or elemental) lithium, bromide and potassium. The effective date for the mineral resource estimate is September 24, 2025. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| [5] | In order to describe the resource in terms of 'industry standard', lithium has been converted to lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) by a conversion factor of 5.323 and potassium to potash (KCl) by a conversion factor of 1.91. |

***Resource Estimation Methodology***

The resource underlies a total of 617 separate brine and brine-sourced mineral leases which are distributed across West Titus, Franklin and East Hopkins Counties in Northeast Texas. The 32,455-hectare (80,199 acres) project area consists of 18,732 gross brine mineral hectares (46,287 gross brine mineral acres) leased by Smackover Lithium.

The Project inferred resource is based upon a confined brine aquifer deposit contained within the porosity of the Smackover Formation. The Smackover Formation in northeastern Texas is commonly subdivided into three intervals, the Reynolds Member Oolite (predominantly oolitic grainstone with common dolomite replacement) referred to in this report as the Upper Smackover, the Middle Smackover (a burrowed pellet packstone), and the Brown Dense (dark, dense micritic limestone) referred to in this report as the Lower Smackover. The brine resource, as reported, is contained within the Upper and Middle Smackover, which underlie the entire Franklin Project area. The Lower Smackover does not contribute to the current resource estimate as further information is needed to assess the resources contained therein. The brine resource is in an area where oil and gas exploration previously occurred. The data used to estimate and model the resource were gathered from 2D seismic, abandoned oil and gas exploration and production wells on or adjacent to the Project and three exploration wells completed by Smackover Lithium on the Project.

The Upper and Middle Smackover formations are similar in thickness across the Project. The depth, shape and thickness of the Smackover Formation were mapped out in a static geologic model (Petra) using the following data:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 400
 km (250 miles) of 2D seismic lines;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 191
 wells drilled into the subsurface in the general Project area; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Eight
 wells with electric logs on the Project and 45 wells with electrical logs surrounding the
 Project.

Porosity data used to further characterize the Smackover Formation geologic model included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Six
 porosity logs available on the Project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 204
 core samples from two wells (Lundell Creek #1 and Pine Forest #1) collected and analyzed
 in 2023 for porosity from Upper and Middle Smackover Formation in 2023; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Upper
 and Middle Smackover Formation porosity values based upon LAS (Log ASCII Standard) density/porosity
 logs from 31 wells within or adjacent to the Project.

Based upon the above data, the average porosity values of 18.1% and 12.4% were calculated for the Upper and Middle Smackover Formation, respectively (see Table 1).

Representative brine chemistry was assessed using 14 brine samples taken from three wells drilled by the JV. This data yielded an average lithium concentration of 671 mg/L and 626 mg/L for the Upper and Middle Smackover, respectively. Sample quality assurance and quality control was maintained throughout by use of sample blanks and duplicates and by using an accredited, independent laboratory, Western Environmental Testing Laboratory in Sparks, Nevada.

To complete the in-place inferred resource analysis, core samples and well logging data were used to create net porosity-thickness (net aquifer >6% porosity) maps for the Upper and Middle Smackover. Net porosity-thickness is a direct indicator of the amount of brine below any location on the Project. Each net porosity-thickness map is multiplied by the constituent (lithium, bromide or potassium) concentration value, then integrated over the gross mineral acreage leased by the JV within the Project area to obtain the in-place inferred resource estimates for each Smackover Formation zone (see Table 1).

***Next Steps and Recommendations***

The principal recommendations from the inferred resource assessment are to further refine the characteristics of the Upper and Middle Smackover Formation aquifers, brine chemistry and to assess reserve forecasts. Further characterization of the resource will be accomplished by drilling additional appraisal wells and re-entering three shut-in wells to gather dynamic data. This will facilitate the maturation and definition of a Preliminary Feasibility Study.

The JV will also conduct direct lithium extraction testing of the Project brine, leveraging insights gained from the Company's demonstration plant located in El Dorado, Arkansas, as well as the JV's South West Arkansas project.

**Use of Non-GAAP Measures**

Certain financial measures referred to in this material change report are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards ("**IFRS**") and are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures or ratios. These measures have no standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The definitions established and calculations performed by Smackover Lithium are based on management's reasonable judgement and are consistently applied. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this material change report are common to the mining industry. As the Franklin Project is not in production, the Company does not have historical non-GAAP financial measures nor historical comparable measures under IFRS, and therefore the foregoing prospective non-GAAP financial measures may not be reconciled to the nearest comparable measures under IFRS.
