All times above refer to Australian Western Standard Time (AWST). 7 Share Purchase Plan (SPP) Use of Funds In January 2024, the Company announced that it had completed a Feasibility Study (Study) to investigate the potential to expand the production of manganese concentrate at the Company’s 100% owned Butcherbird Project (Project), located in the southern Pilbara region of Western Australia4. The Study demonstrated strong economics with robust economic returns and rapid capital payback. Expansion of the processing facility at Butcherbird aligns with Element 25’s strategy for its planned battery grade high purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) project to be built in Louisiana, USA in partnership with General Motors LLC and Stellantis NV5. The proceeds of the SPP will be used to assist with funding activities for the Butcherbird Stage 2 Expansion Project for initial engineering, procurement and project management activities prior to the completion of project financing and a final investment decision (FID). Element 25 intends to fund the remainder of the project through cash reserves and project financing. The Company is well-progressed in negotiations with a number of potential lenders to Project. As a result of the Study and HPMSM strategy, the Company immediately commenced activities related to the Stage 2 Expansion focusing on detailed engineering and design, project financing and finalising other key requirements to support the commencement of construction in line with the project schedule. Funds will also support continued pre-commitment engineering activities to progress the planned HPMSM facility in Louisiana, where the Company recently announced commercial terms in relation to a development site for the HPMSM Project6 and general working capital. 4 Reference: ASX Release dated 23 January 2024 5 Reference: Company ASX Releases dated 9 January 2023 and 26 June 2023 6 Reference: Company ASX Release dated 8 May 2024 8 Company Strategic Vision – Growth Through Ore and Battery Grade HPMSM Stage 2 1.1 Mt Mn Ore Build and commission full commercial scale processing facility at the Butcherbird Manganese Mine Stage 3 Stage 4 Louisiana HPMSM HPMSM Expansion Construct the first US HPMSM processing facility (Louisiana), producing 65,000 tonnes per annum of battery-grade HPMSM.
