New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 32% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. 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 (-US$39m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 32% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$11m net loss next year). Anuncio • Sep 02

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Australian stocks, typically moving 13% a week. This is considered a minor risk.

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next year. Trailing 12-month net loss: US$57m Forecast net loss in 1 year: US$21m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • May 08

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 13% This is considered a minor 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: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change).

Piedmont Lithium Announces High-Grade Drill Results Continue at North American Lithium Piedmont Lithium announced that additional high-grade drill results at North American Lithium (“NAL”) in Quebec continue to demonstrate the potential for a significant upgrade to the mineral resource estimate. These new drill results follow similar assay results released in May 2024. The 2023-2024 drill program has identified multiple, new, high-grade lithium zones beyond the planned pit shell model, with intercepts at thicker and higher grades than previously encountered. Mineralization within the pit shell model has shown continuity and consistency in grade and thickness. An additional 30,000 meters of exploration drilling at NAL is planned for 2024. NAL is the largest lithium operation in North America and is jointly owned by Piedmont (25%) and Sayona Mining Limited (75%). The operation has continued to achieve quarterly record spodumene concentrate volumes since restarting production in March 2023 and is targeting steady-state production in H2 2024. Anuncio • May 16
Piedmont Lithium Announces High-Grade Drill Results At North American Lithium Piedmont Lithium announced that new and expanded high-grade lithium mineralization zones have been identified at North American Lithium ("NAL") in Quebec. NAL is jointly owned by Piedmont (25%) and Sayona Mining Limited (75%). The results of the 2023 NAL drill program indicate the potential for a significant mineral resource upgrade and possible mine life extension. Multiple thick, high-grade spodumene-bearing pegmatites were discovered beyond current NAL pit operations and the planned pit shell model along the northwest, northeast, and southeast margins. The drill results support potential conversion of Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated Resources within the pit shell model and could lead to additional resource definition below the pit shell model at depth. NAL restarted production in March 2023 and has consistently achieved record production volumes each quarter. New Risk • May 07

Piedmont Lithium's Tennessee Project Receives Final Permit Required to Advance to Construction Piedmont Lithium announced that the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation issued a Conditional Major Non-Title V Construction and Air Permit (“Air Permit”) for the Company’s proposed Tennessee Lithium project in McMinn County, Tennessee. With receipt of the Air Permit for the planned 30,000 metric ton per year (“tpy”) lithium hydroxide manufacturing plant, Piedmont Lithium now holds all the material permits required to begin construction at Tennessee Lithium. The Air Permit issuance marks an important step in developing the approximately $800 million project, which will help significantly bolster the current U.S. lithium hydroxide production capacity of approximately 17,000 tpy. Piedmont Lithium previously announced robust project economics for Tennessee Lithium in a definitive feasibility study (“DFS”) released in April of this year. With a project net present value of $2.5 billion and internal rate of return of 32%, the DFS underscored the positive impact of America’s clean energy policies and the value of the Company’s hard-rock production strategy. In October 2022, Tennessee Lithium was selected by the United States Department of Energy to receive a $141.7 million grant to support the construction of the project. The funding process related to the grant continues to progress as Piedmont Lithium and its advisors commence discussions with potential strategic partners for the balance of funding required for the project. Piedmont Lithium’s intent is to secure necessary funding from partners or lenders. Plans to lease and renovate local office space are developing with the goal of supporting the revitalization efforts of downtown Etowah, Tennessee. Workforce development activities have also begun with local technical schools to develop key training programs and curricula for certain positions. Piedmont Lithium plans to hire 120 employees when Tennessee Lithium is operational.
