2. **U.S. DOD BACKED EXPANSION BY MID-2027 HAS COMMENCED, TO BECOME THE LARGEST & LOWEST COST U.S. PRODUCER** 

IperionX is scaling titanium capacity to 1,400 tpa at its Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus, with commissioning slated for mid-2027, positioning IperionX to be America's largest and lowest-cost titanium powder producer.

The total expansion capital is ~US$75 million, including ~US$17 million in contingency, and is majority funded through the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) award of US$47.1 million, along with IperionX's balance sheet cash. Additional contract awards under the US$99m SBIR Phase III program and access to Private Activity Bonds enhance financial flexibility.

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 electric vehicles. This integrated expansion program will deliver end-to-end titanium scrap-to-part capacity with downstream manufacturing equipment - powder-metallurgy presses (Appendix A), forging, and additive manufacturing - to process 100% recycled scrap or domestic feedstocks into high-quality titanium powders and high-performance titanium components.

#### Targeted titanium products
The seven-fold increase in titanium production capacity will target high-value, high 'buy-to-fly' ratio titanium components, in the form of near-net-shape and manufactured products, with a target market pricing range of $180/kg to $400/kg.

By leveraging cost advantages from proprietary HAMR and HSPT technologies, IperionX expects a material cost reduction across a range of titanium product categories, including:

<br> ◾ Fasteners: Titanium bolts, nuts, washers

<br> ◾ Enclosures & controls: Consumer electronics, smartphone and smartwatch cases, buttons

<br> ◾ Gears & actuator housings: Humanoid robotics

<br> ◾ Titanium brackets: High-performance applications across aerospace, automotive, marine, construction, and industrial sectors

------

Other titanium product categories include:

<br> ◾ Mill replacement products: Titanium plate, sheet, and bar

<br> ◾ High-value additive manufactured parts: Utilizing laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) technologies

#### Figure 3: IperionX titanium metal product map and current market price range estimates
*<u>Titanium fasteners</u>*

Fasteners — bolts, screws, nuts, washers, rivets — are ubiquitous across major U.S. markets in automotive, construction, aerospace, marine, and industrial machinery. Titanium fasteners represent a large addressable market for IperionX. Leveraging our integrated patented technologies and near-net-shape manufacturing, IperionX modeling indicates scope for product cost reductions of over 80%, and in some cases more than 90%, versus current market levels.

![](image00003.jpg)

#### Figure 4: Productivity benefits of manufacturing titanium fasteners with IperionX's patented technologies

------

The global titanium fastener market is ~US$4.3 billion<sup>1</sup> annually, with the global stainless steel fastener market ~US$15.2 billion<sup>2</sup> annually. Lower-cost titanium fasteners, priced competitively with stainless steel, could unlock accelerated substitution, volume growth and a larger addressable market.

*<u>Enclosures & controls (consumer electronics)</u>*

The premium consumer electronics market is adopting titanium at scale, with leading global brands adding titanium to flagship devices. Over 1.2 billion<sup>3</sup> mobile phones and 180 million<sup>3</sup> smartwatches are sold every year.

IperionX offers a fully circular titanium supply chain that can convert consumer-electronics titanium scrap into high-quality titanium powder and titanium near-net-shape components, at lower energy, cost and environmental footprint. Our first commercial project is already in progress to deliver into this market.

*<u>Gears & actuators (humanoid robotics)</u>*

The humanoid robotics market is forecast to expand from under US$3 billion today to more than US$38 billion<sup>4</sup> by 2035. Core to these systems are lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant gears and actuators — ideal for titanium and perfectly suited to our uniaxial press-and-sinter manufacturing route, which mirrors traditional steel powder metallurgy gear production.

*<u>Titanium brackets</u>*

Titanium brackets are the natural complement to titanium fasteners across aerospace, marine, and construction—combining high strength, low weight, and exceptional corrosion resistance.

*<u>Mill products</u>*

Although not central to our market product plan, IperionX's powder metallurgy process can produce near-final-gauge titanium plate, sheet, and bar after sintering - bypassing large portions of the titanium melt–forge–roll chain. Multiple industry partners are collaborating to quantify the cost and efficiency gains.

*<u>High-value additive manufactured (AM) parts</u>*

For strategic programs and customers, we will manufacture high-value complex titanium parts via LPBF and EB-PBF, smaller in output but with high-value margins. As the expected lowest cost U.S. titanium-powder producer, IperionX will strengthen the additive manufacturing supply chain and deliver lower-cost AM titanium parts.

#### Capital and operating cost estimates
*<u>Operating cost estimate</u>*

Operating costs for titanium powder are projected at US$29 per kg, at full utilization of 1,400 tpa capacity. Direct conversion of titanium scrap to powder using proprietary technologies, followed by near-net-shape consolidation and forging, sharply reduces waste and supports value-in-use pricing that approaches competitiveness with stainless steel and aluminum while maintaining titanium's strength-to-weight, corrosion, and biocompatibility advantages.

Titanium powder-to-part consolidation and forging costs (incremental, ex-powder) are projected to range by manufacturing modality for standard products such as fasteners: uniaxial pressing US$7–30/kg; cold isostatic pressing US$4–15/kg; binder jet printing US$50–150/kg; LPBF / EB-PBF US$100-375/kg (per kg of near-net-shape part). <br>

*<u>Capital cost estimate</u>*

The expansion to 1,400 tpa is expected to cost US$75.1 million, delivering best-in-class capital intensity for production of finished titanium parts, representing an order of magnitude improvement compared to the current Kroll-based supply chain, which is characterized by high energy consumption, complex multi-stage processing, the generation of up to 90% waste, and as such, exceptionally high capital intensity. IperionX's modular, scalable approach leverages off-the-shelf furnace technology and patented processes to achieve superior efficiencies, shorter cycle times, and higher yields, while eliminating toxic chemicals and reducing environmental impacts.

3. **ACCELERATED GROWTH ROADMAP TARGETS MARKET AND COST LEADERSHIP IN 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.

Our patented HAMR and HSPT technologies increase manufacturing yields, remove high-cost process steps, and materially cut energy and capital intensity – creating a structural cost advantage that strengthens with increased scale. Modular process technologies underpin efficient lower-cost scale-up, pushing the titanium cost curve lower. New process technology innovations are expected to position titanium manufacturing costs for value-in-use competitiveness in applications that today default to stainless steel and aluminum.
