New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: €8.76m (US$9.55m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$31m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (191% average daily change). Earnings have declined by 62% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m.

Vital Metals Limited Announces Substantial Increase in the Mineral Resource Estimate for Its Tardiff Upper Zone Deposit Vital Metals Limited announce a substantial increase in the Mineral Resource Estimate for its Tardiff Upper Zone Deposit ("Tardiff"), which forms part of the Nechalacho Rare Earth Project ("Nechalacho" or the "Project"), 100 kilometres south-east of Yellowknife in Canada's Northwest Territories. Vital has updated the MRE with the incorporation of 4,483 metres of drilling from 66 holes drilled over the 2021 and 2022 drilling seasons. Total MRE tonnage (across all classifications) has increased by approximately 26%, with a slight reduction in TREO grade of approximately 4%. The Company holds a 100% interest in the minerals located on the mining leases at Nechalacho between the surface topography and the depth limit of 150 metres above sea level ("ASL"), or approximately 90 metres below surface, known as the Upper Zone. The material below 150 metres ASL is referred to as the Basal Zone and is retained by the original owner, Avalon Advanced Minerals Inc. ("Avalon"). The Tardiff Upper Zone Deposit is hosted near the top of a layered nepheline syenite intrusion, which is part of an anorogenic alkaline granitoid intrusion. The TREO mineralisation is hosted in hydrothermally altered eudialyte syenite and mainly contained in the minerals bastnaesite, synchysite, parisite, fergusonite, samarskite, allanite and monazite. Tardiff extends approximately 2km in length and the upper limit of the MRE is covered in glacial till which varies from surface to 10 metres in depth. Diamond core drilling of PQ, NQ and HQ diameter core using wireline recovery was used for all the drilling at Tardiff. A limited number of oriented core holes were drilled by Avalon for geotechnical purposes. Rock Quality Designation ("RQD") logging was performed on all drill holes starting in 2009. Due to thevery limited weathering profile and semi-massive nature of the mineralisation, core recovery was generally excellent. Recent Insider Transactions • Jan 17
