New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 55% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (26% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 14% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (55% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m.

QEM Limited Announces Second Pilot Plant Testing Achieves Excellent Results QEM Limited announced vanadium and oil extraction results from the second round of the Company's bench-scale pilot plant test program. The first round of extraction testing (T1) at the vanadium and oil shale bench- scale pilot plant was completed at the Melbourne headquarters of HRL Technology Group Pty Ltd. ("HRL") last month. The first round of testing delivered promising results, with opportunities for extraction optimisation proactively identified and the pilot plant subsequently modified for the second round (T2) of testing conducted at HRL. The first round of testing (T1) was conducted with six kilograms of fresh oil shale feed from the Julia Creek project mixed with six kilograms of a hydrogen donor solvent. The volume of the oil shale feed utilised in the pilot plant for the T1 testing was significantly greater than previous laboratory test work, which was conducted at the 8 grams to 12 grams range. The T2 testing expanded further on the amount of material processed, using eight kilograms of oil shale feed from the Julia Creek project mixed with 16 kilograms of solvent. This result bolsters confidence in the potential viability of oil extraction at the Julia Creek project at a greater scale. As with the T1 test, the solvent extraction test work in the second T2 round involved heating a slurry of oil shale and solvent to achieve the targeted autoclave temperature. Under these supercritical conditions, the kerogen in the shale is converted to liquid and gaseous products. Following the T1 test work, modifications to the pilot plant and the operating parameters were swiftly implemented to optimise the performance of the bench-scale pilot plant for the T2 round of testing. Major changes included a revised plant configuration, drying the feed sample, increased solvent to shale ratio, and delayed pressurisation of the system to enable the solvent to reach boiling point. These alterations, among others, resulted in improved pilot plant performance, including the elimination of a build-up of solid deposits (naphthalene) in the oil product collection equipment, and related pipework, which was an issue previously flagged from the first round of testing. Crucially, these alterations and an increase in acid leach time to 24 hours resulted in increased vanadium and oil extraction results, which are detailed below. Samples were collected after 2 hrs, 4 hrs and 24 hrs (final sample). For the roasted samples the majority of vanadium is extracted after 4 hours, with a small increase through to 24 hours. For the unroasted sample there is an appreciable increase in vanadium extraction from 4 hours to 24 hours. These observations are consistent with the previous results from 24-hour testing for the OSU and OSL samples (L1 to L6) Vanadium extraction values above 90% were achieved, based on the feed to the leach test, for the two samples roasted at 700°C and 900°C (L8B & L8C) with a 24-hour leach time. Estimated oil yield for T2 increased to 12.5 dry wt% (as collected sample) and 13 dry wt% (washed sample). Such an oil yield is at the lower end of the oil yields determined in the previous small-scale tests although significantly higher than T1 and appreciably higher than the MFA yield. The latest results also indicate that the oil yields achieved from the pilot plant were approximately 170% or 1.7 times greater than yields reported under a Modified Fischer Assay (MFA). In comparison, the T1 tests delivered oil yields up to 142% of yields reported under an MFA. Reported Earnings • Sep 23

QEM Limited Completes Commissioning of Pilot Plant QEM Limited announced that its vanadium and oil shale pilot plant has been formally commissioned. The pilot plant was commissioned on May 24, 2022 at the Melbourne headquarters of HRL Technology Group Pty Ltd, with the plant scheduled to be operational for a period of up to 6 months. Pre-commissioning testing works were conducted last month and the full-scale advanced testing program is now underway following the successful commissioning of the plant. The pilot plant has been designed and developed to validate the Company's proprietary extraction process, ahead of a commercial demonstration plant. QEM's primary focus is the extraction of vanadium and oil shale, but the Company will also integrate metallurgy work to investigate high-purity alumina (HPA) extraction potential, after a recent resource estimate at the Julia Creek project identified a material volume of aluminium. HPA is a high-purity form of aluminium oxide and in March 2022 it was designated as a Critical Mineral in Australia. The pilot plant was fabricated at AMAR's facility in India.

QEM Limited Upgrades Julia Creek Resource Base with Added Critical Minerals Potential QEM Limited announced a significant upgrade in the confidence of the oil Resource at the company's Julia Creek Project, as well as an increase in the size and grade of the Julia Creek vanadium deposit, which was already one of the larger single vanadium deposits the world. An independent geology and resource estimate report undertaken by Measured Group Pty Ltd. detailed a current estimated Mineral Resource at the Julia Creek project of 2,850 million tonnes (Mt) vanadium bearing ore at an average V205 content of 0.31%. The previous Mineral Resource estimate, which was released to the ASX on 14 October 2019, consisted of 2,760Mt vanadium bearing ore at an average V205 content of 0.30%. Crucially, the updated Mineral Resource encompasses an Indicated vanadium JORC Resource of 360Mt and 2,490Mt in the Inferred category. The previous Mineral Resource estimate had an Indicated vanadium JORC Resource 220Mt and 2,540Mt in the Inferred category. Additionally, a maiden 2C oil shale estimate of 71 MMBBls was identified, which is a resource class of greater confidence compared to a 3C estimate. Furthermore, 24,304 parts-per million of aluminium was identified in the Resource estimate, which the company believes warrants further investigation. QEM is set to commence vanadium and oil shale testing at its bench scale pilot plant this month and will now incorporate assessment of high-purity aluminium (HPA) extraction within its planned testing schedule.

QEM Limited Successfully Delivers Pilot Plant QEM Limited announced that its vanadium and oil shale bench scale pilot plant has been successfully delivered to Australia. The pilot plant has been designed and developed to validate the Company's proprietary extraction process, ahead of a commercial demonstration plant. This pilot plant will also provide feedstock for the multi-user vanadium processing facility in Townsville to be funded by the Queensland Government. QEM is a founding member of the Queensland Vanadium Consortium which worked with State Government leading up to its November 2021 announcement of the provision of over $10m in funding to build a Townsville-based facility. The QEM bench scale pilot plant was fabricated at AMAR's facility in India. AMAR is a specialist manufacturer of high pressure, high temperature batch and continuous reactors and allied systems, whose client list includes General Electric, Shell, BASF and Bayer, among others. The plant will be housed at the Melbourne headquarters of HRL Technology Group Pty Ltd. ("HRL") and following official commissioning, the testing program will begin. The expected operationalcommencement of the pilot plant is in April this year, for a period of up to six months. HRL completed the hazard and operability (HAZOP) study on the bench-scale oil and vanadium pilot plant in July 2021 at their Melbourne headquarters. The plant was certified and approved by ASME-U on 26 October 2021. QEM Managing Director Gavin Loyden said the pilot plant would further validate and expand upon QEM's positive extraction test results recorded to date. Reported Earnings • Mar 14

QEM Limited Finalizes the Specifications and Design of A Bench-Scale Pilot Plant for the Julia Creek Vanadium and Oil Shale Project QEM Limited announced it has finalised the specifications and design of a bench-scale pilot plant for the Julia Creek vanadium and oil shale project. As announced to the market on 24 May 2021, QEM engaged E2C Advisory Pty Ltd. to undertake the design and selection of the bench-scale pilot plant to facilitate more advanced test work on a larger scale. A purchase order has been signed with specialist manufacturer AMAR Equipment who is now drafting the final technical drawings for the plant, to be provided before 30 June 2021. The Company anticipates it will sign a construction agreement early next month, upon approval of the final specifications, with work on the bench-scale pilot plant to promptly follow. QEM remains on target to commence operational activity at the bench-scale pilot plant during 1H FY22. The pilot plant will facilitate larger scale testing and generate the bulk product material required to optimise the vanadium recovery from the resource at the Julia Creek vanadium and oil shale project. Vanadium was designated a Critical Mineral by the Australian Government in 2019 and is not yet produced in Australia. The Company is also progressing the study of green hydrogen production onsite at Julia Creek with DNV Australia to further enhance the potential value that can be derived from the project. Green hydrogen is a key part of QEM's ethical and responsible vanadium and oil processing and carbon emission reduction strategy. QEM will look to produce green hydrogen by harnessing the abundant local solar and wind resources available at Julia Creek, both for the energy needs of its own project and potentially others in the North West Minerals Province. QEM is also pleased to note that the Queensland government intends to invest $2 billion into the Queensland Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Jobs Fund 1. One of the aims of the fund is to drive future development in Queensland's North West Minerals Province (where Julia Creek is located), with a key objective being Vanadium production in Queensland. QEM will carefully review eligibility criteria for this funding. Bekanntmachung • May 25

QEM Limited to Pursue Green Hydrogen Strategy QEM Limited announce that it has commenced studies into green hydrogen opportunities on site at QEM's flagship 100%-owned Julia Creek vanadium and oil shale project in North Queensland. The studies will investigate the financial and regulatory requirements of the Company to produce
hydrogen on site at Julia Creek using a "green" solar-powered electrolyser. It is envisaged that the hydrogen would initially be used as a support to the energy needs of other resources projects located in the North West Minerals Province of Queensland, but ultimately for the hydrogeneration of the
Company's raw oil into transport fuels. QEM will commence proactive discussions with the Queensland state government on progressing the
approval process to access water resources for the potential development. The Company will focus on securing the relevant approvals following the successful completion of the financial studies to be conducted by E2C. Reported Earnings • Mar 10
