• Plans to produce 200,000 tons of SC6 spodumene concentrate annually at CAD 624/ton, placing it in the first cost quartile.

• Infrastructure improvements include completed hydropower line, planned substation, and government-backed all-season road construction, with Berens Bridge completion expected in 2028.

• Project recognized as nationally significant, receiving grant funding and enhanced federal-provincial collaboration.

• Letters of intent signed with federal and Ontario governments for financial support of a Thunder Bay lithium chemical facility.

Downstream integration and timeline

• Acquired Mission Island site in Thunder Bay for a lithium conversion facility, targeting 20,000 tons of lithium chemical output (enough for 500,000 EVs/year).

• Feasibility study for the refinery awarded to Fluor Canada; facility to serve both internal and third-party spodumene concentrate.

• Permitting and Impact Benefit Agreement process underway, with permits expected in 24 months and Final Investment Decision (FID) targeted for 2028.
