#### IPERIONX WINS U.S. AIR FORCE TITANIUM RECYCLING CHALLENGE
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, IperionX announced that it was the winner of the U.S. Department of Defense's National Security Innovation Network ("NSIN") Air Force Research Laboratory ("AFRL") Grand Challenge contract.

The AFRL Grand Challenge involved selecting the most commercially promising technology for producing titanium metal powders from scrap titanium and rejuvenating out-of-spec titanium powders for use in additive manufacturing.

As a result, IperionX will be eligible to produce titanium metal powders from scrap materials and rejuvenate used or out-of-specification titanium powder for the AFRL.

Winning this Grand Challenge, against a field of leading titanium industry participants, is an important validation of IperionX's patented technologies to produce circular, low-carbon and lower cost titanium metal from 100% recycled titanium scrap or out-of-specification titanium powder feedstocks.

The U.S. Air Force and U.S. Department of Defense are accelerating the use of additive manufacturing to reduce long lead cycle times and to produce large volumes of complex parts for advanced weapons systems.

Only 20%-40% of titanium powder used in additive manufacturing ends up in fabricated parts. Titanium metal powders are typically reused only a limited number of times before the quality is compromised by elevated contaminant levels or inferior powder morphology. Out-of-specification titanium powders increase the probability of defects and jeopardize the structural integrity of additively manufactured components.

Titanium metal produced by the current "Kroll Process" is high carbon, energy intensive and expensive. Leading companies across the defense, automotive, consumer electronics and luxury goods sectors want to source low carbon, low-cost titanium from traceable recycled sources. IperionX's patented technologies offer a pathway to significantly lower cost, and lower carbon, titanium metal powders for titanium components in these industries.

The patented technologies were developed by Dr. Zak Fang, an American Professor of Metallurgical Engineering at the University of Utah, and uniquely position IperionX to upcycle a wide variety of low-grade, high oxygen content titanium scrap which has historically been downcycled to lower value markets. IperionX is able to achieve greater yields of nearly 100% from low-grade scrap without the need for blending the scrap with high-grade primary metal.

Winning the Grand Challenge also complements IperionX's project with Materials Resources, LLC to qualify titanium alloy powders for the U.S. Navy and test titanium flight critical metal replacement components for the U.S. Department of Defense.

The winner of the Grand Challenge is eligible for a contract award up to $500,000 across four phases, with IperionX successfully completing Phase 1, and will complete Phases 2 – 4 as part of routine production operations at its Titanium Pilot Facility in Utah.

#### PANERAI PLACES ORDER FOR PRODUCTION SERIES TITANIUM WATCH CASES
During the quarter, IperionX announced that Officine Panerai ("Panerai"), a division of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA (SWX:CFR, market capitalization US$83 billion) placed its first purchase order for 'production series' titanium watch cases to be additively manufactured using IperionX's low carbon, circular titanium.

Panerai recently completed testing on the IperionX prototype titanium watch cases and will produce a limited edition run of several hundred watch case blanks. The production series titanium watch cases are being additively manufactured using IperionX's low carbon, circular titanium powders.

IperionX continues to work with Panerai to evaluate additional titanium watch designs for future production series manufacturing.

------

Titanium watches are preferred for their higher strength, lighter weight and superior corrosion resistance, and titanium has now become the choice of material for flagship models amongst many leading watch manufacturers. The sustainability, quality and production manufacturing capabilities required to meet the demanding specifications for the luxury watch market transfers directly into a range of other titanium market verticals, including the automotive, consumer electronic and defense sectors.

The global automotive and consumer electronic sectors are leading the move towards building low carbon supply chains that maximize the use of circular materials. Leading companies in these sectors have near term targets for net zero carbon supply chains and for their products to utilize fully recycled materials.

The Panerai purchase order validates the performance of IperionX's patented titanium technologies and the quality of its low carbon, circular titanium metal powders. Although the quantum of the initial purchase order is not material, it demonstrates the commercial value of a low carbon, circular supply of titanium, which is superior to aluminum and stainless-steel in many applications.

This validation is important for customers in our other high priority sales verticals – especially the global automotive, bicycle and consumer electronic markets. These global markets are many times larger than luxury watches and offer IperionX a near-term pathway to rapidly scale our business.

For example, the Swiss watch industry produces ~13 million watches p.a.<sup>1</sup> for a select group of global customers that expect the highest quality, strength and sustainability metrics from their watch purchase. In comparison, the global smart watch market is over 173 million units p.a.<sup>2</sup> with a like-minded customer base who also demands strength, quality and sustainability. In addition to smart watches, the global consumer electronic market extends to tablets, laptop computers and mobile phones.

IperionX provides the only commercially available circular, low-carbon titanium production process that uses 100% recycled titanium as a feedstock. IperionX now has over 40 potential customers signed onto a confidential sales delivery process.

#### IPERIONX EXTENDS TITANIUM METAL TECHNOLOGIES AGREEMENT
During the quarter, IperionX announced that it successfully negotiated to extend the purchase and license option agreements for its breakthrough titanium technologies.

The revised agreement includes the option to acquire all of the assets of Blacksand Technology LLC ("Blacksand"), which developed the global patents to the titanium and metal alloy technologies, as well as the option agreements for exclusive global licenses over technologies held by Blacksand, including hydrogen assisted metallothermic reduction ("HAMR"), granulation sintering deoxygenation ("GSD"), low carbon titanium mineral enrichment (synthetic rutile), titanium dioxide ("TiO<sub>2</sub>") and titanium alloying technologies .

The revised agreement extends the payment terms by two years and this capital flexibility provides a pathway to potentially accelerate the development of the Titanium Demonstration Facility in South Boston, Virginia.

Should IperionX choose not to exercise the purchase option to acquire all the assets of Blacksand, it retains options to license key technologies from Blacksand, including HAMR and GSD.
