#### TITANIUM METAL OPERATIONS UPDATE

#### Titanium metal operations
Equipment and systems are commissioned for both titanium powder production and component manufacturing at the Titanium Manufacturing Campus in Virginia. Additional advanced manufacturing capabilities continue to expand, with the 100-ton uniaxial press and dry bag cold isostatic press in operation, and the 300-ton hydraulic press being commissioned.

This equipment enables IperionX to produce a range of near-net-shape and semi-finished products, with both dimensional complexity and scale. Titanium products include nuts, bolts and washers, large fasteners including tank track pins, and complex tiered shapes including consumer electronics enclosures.

Advanced manufacturing will grow throughout 2026 in excess of powder production capacity of 200 tons per year, as a part of IperionX's expansion to 1,400 tons per year of production. Equipment scheduled for delivery in 2026 includes additional cold isostatic presses, as well as sintering furnaces and hydride / de-hydride furnaces.

Additionally, IperionX's additive manufacturing capacity includes laser powder bed fusion machines, e-beam machines and binder jet machines.

![](image00002.jpg)

#### Figure 1: IperionX titanium metal product map and current market price range estimates
IperionX's manufacturing operations achieved ISO 9001 certification, the internationally recognized standard for quality management systems. ISO 9001 certification validates the integrity of IperionX's quality management processes as production scales, underpinning our customer qualification and procurement pipeline across defense, aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics.

#### Sales agreements
Sales agreements are advancing, with a range of advanced prototyping activities underway across defense, consumer electronics, automotive, oil & gas, sporting goods, and industrial manufacturing.

The defense-focused commercial programs are progressing well, with prototype development now underway for applications across the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. Major commercial agreements include an initial order from Carver Pump for titanium naval shipbuilding components, and an order from American Rheinmetall for lightweight titanium parts for U.S. Army heavy ground combat systems.

In parallel, IperionX is beginning to build inventory of titanium products for sales via mass distribution channels, including a range of titanium fasteners, nuts and washers, as well as the production of fasteners for the U.S. military. Once established, it is anticipated that these sales channels will be high-volume purchase orders, issued by distributors as inventory levels reach minimum thresholds. IperionX has secured initial purchase orders for the delivery of titanium fastener products into both commercial and industrial markets.

------

New products continue to be established opening a range of other verticals, such as brackets, cases and housings for a range of applications including aerospace.

#### Carver Pump purchase order
The IperionX / Carver Pump project is designed to deliver step-change improvement in lead times for delivery of titanium components for Naval systems. Under the project, titanium components are expected to be produced in less than one week using IperionX's high-quality titanium metal powder and advanced manufacturing capabilities. Successful completion of the prototyping and testing phase has the potential to lead to larger scale production agreements with Carver Pump and the U.S. Navy.

#### American Rheinmetall purchase order
The IperionX / American Rheinmetall project is for the production of 700 lightweight titanium components for U.S. Army heavy ground combat systems. Lightweighting is an increasingly critical design consideration for U.S. Army heavy ground combat platforms as the vehicles continues to gain mass through successive survivability and lethality upgrades, including enhanced armor systems and emerging counter-UAS and drone-protection solutions.

Specific benefits also include improved performance through reduced weight, enabling faster acceleration and better agility, increased operational range and survivability, and reduced ground pressure improving traction and flotation on soft or uneven terrain. This initial purchase order has the potential to lead to a significantly larger agreement upon successful delivery of this initial scope of work.

#### Figure 1: Titanium metal powder production at the Titanium Manufacturing Campus

#### TITANIUM METAL OPERATIONS EXPANSIONS
As previously announced, IperionX continues to scale titanium capacity to 1,400 tpa, positioning IperionX to be America's largest and lowest-cost titanium powder producer.

The total expansion capital is ~US$75 million, and is majority funded through the U.S. DoW Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) award of US$47.1 million, of which all US$47.1 million has now been obligated to IperionX.

The 1,400 tpa expansion accelerates a more resilient and sustainable U.S. titanium supply chain, cutting reliance on foreign imports and supporting national security for aerospace, defense, and other emerging sectors such as robotics. This integrated expansion program will deliver end-to-end titanium scrap-to-part capacity with downstream manufacturing equipment - powder-metallurgy presses, forging, and additive manufacturing - to process 100% recycled scrap or domestic feedstocks into high-quality titanium powders and high-performance titanium components.

------

IperionX is aiming for global leadership in advanced manufacturing of high-performance titanium components of +10,000 tpa by 2030, and has developed a plan to scale titanium capacity in high-performance titanium components, targeting cost competitiveness with stainless steel and aluminum.

Supporting this roadmap, IperionX advanced the development of a new facility that will focus on the next generation of HAMR and HSPT process technology innovations. The next generation of technologies are based on a patent pending continuous production process, which aims to materially reduce the cost base compared to current batch production processes. Work is underway to validate the new continuous production process and is expected to be complete in 2026.

#### U.S. GOVERNMENT FUNDING
During the quarter IperionX was obligated the final US$4.6 million under the U.S. Department of War's Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment US$47.2 million award, with all funds under the program now obligated. The U.S. Government has also transferred ~290 metric tons (320 short tons) of high-quality titanium scrap metal to IperionX for no cost, which is ~1.5 years' worth of titanium feedstock at current full operating capacity.

The final IBAS funding and provision of titanium scrap affirms the commitment of the U.S. Government to establish and expand a resilient, fully integrated, and low-cost titanium supply chain for the U.S. defense industrial base.

IperionX is also investigating potential Government funding opportunities for the Titan Critical Mineral Project in Tennessee, a very large, fully permitted, U.S. domestic source of titanium and rare earth minerals.

#### TITAN CRITICAL MINERALS PROJECT

#### DFS to advance vital U.S. critical minerals supply chain
The DoW has previously obligated US$5 million to expedite the Titan Critical Minerals Project in Tennessee to 'shovel-ready' status via a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), an important milestone in securing a new domestic source of titanium, rare earths and zircon critical minerals. DFS activities are rapidly progressing and remain on track to be completed by mid-2026.

#### Figure 2: Titan Project development and west Tennessee community activities

------

Given its strategic nature to the U.S. critical mineral supply chain, IperionX is receiving increased interest in the Titan Project, which one of the largest permitted U.S. sources of critical minerals, including the heavy rare earths dysprosium (Dy), terbium (Tb) as well as yttrium (Y).

America has no DyTb production at scale, which are indispensable Heavy Rare Earths (HREEs) dopants that allow high-performance neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets to operate reliably at high temperatures across demanding applications.

Defense and advanced industrial systems require DyTb-doped magnets for high-temperature, high-coercivity performance. DyTb is the chokepoint in the rare earth supply chain.

More than 70% of global rare earth production comes from just five rare earth mines that are dominant in light rare earths (three in China, one in Australia, and one in the U.S.). Furthermore, over ~70% of the rare earth production from these major mines being low value cerium and lanthanum. These mines contain low proportions of the scarce, high-value elements DyTb and Y. Rare earth prices reflect this relative scarcity. Cerium sells for ~US$2,100 per ton, NdPr sells for approximately US$115,000 per ton, Y for US$260,000 per ton, Dy for US$93,000 per ton, and Tb for US$3,800,000 per ton (all metric tons)<sup>1</sup>.
