Zeotech Limited Announces Pilot Program Update Zeotech Limited announced that it has successfully completed its first continuous closed-loop circuit, utilising kaolin feedstock to produce pure Linde Type A synthetic zeolite product. This marks a significant step in progressing the Company's dual-feed pilot program. Successful bench-scale continuous closed-loop circuit achieved utilising kaolin feedstock to produce pure Linde Type A synthetic zeolite product. Over 110 optimisation batch tests undertaken using Toondoon kaolin and Li process by-product samples, undertaken since May 2021. Over 30 continuous tests completed on individual process steps, involving leaching, filtration/decanting, and precipitation. Plant and equipment procurement underway, with construction and commissioning of pilot plant on track to commence early First Quarter 2022. During the H2 2021, the team at UQ completed in excess of 155 batch and continuous test runs. This work, together with the earlier start date on kaolin test-work, has led to successful development of the first continuous closed-loop circuit utilising Toondoon kaolin as feedstock to produce pure Linde Type A synthetic zeolite product. Since June 2021, UQ researchers have completed over 70 optimisation batch tests across a range leaching and precipitation configurations from two separate samples of Li process by- product. Continuous tank reactor precipitation work has been successfully completed and the team is currently undertaking continuous leaching runs. The inclusion of two separate Li process by-product samples to the pilot program, has increased the variables in validating ZEO's proprietary flowsheet process steps. Despite this, Zeotech and UQ expect to achieve a continuous closed-loop circuit in the near term. The completion of a successful continuous closed-loop circuit under the conditions of Zeotech's proprietary flowsheet, represents a major step in developing the configuration and design data required for scale-up to pilot line construction and commissioning, which is scheduled to commence First Quarter 2022. The focus for the remainder of 2021 is aimed at further optimisation of process steps targeted at achieving a continuous closed-loop circuit utilising Li process by-product. In addition, procurement of plant and equipment for the pilot line set-up has accelerated with key items scheduled for delivery early 2022. Reported Earnings • Sep 28

Zeotech Limited Pilot Plant Program Commences Zeotech Limited announce that it has committed to the development and construction of a pilot plant and is undertaking an extensive test-work- program to further optimise the flowsheet of the Company's low-cost synthetic zeolite manufacturing technology to de-risk future commercial investment. Following the positive outcomes of extensive lab-scale work undertaken by researchers from UQ, since lodging a core provisional patent application in June 2019, for the manufacture (synthesis) of synthetic zeolites from kaolin or clay-based materials i.e., mine tailings or process residues, Zeotech has committed to undertake a comprehensive pilot plant program. The program will incorporate an artificial intelligence (machine learning) component to enhance understanding and application of piloting results, by building a comprehensive dataset and predictive capabilities. The pilot plant will provide Zeotech with increased confidence and certainty on the engineered flowsheet design and operational performance of the process circuit before committing to commercial zeolite production facilities. Zeotech's decision to proceed with the pilot plant is supported by continued positive lab-scale results delivered by research funded at UQ and based on the understanding that a well designed and constructed pilot plant is an integral component in the decision-making process required to determine critical economics and underpin future commercial plant strategy and financing. The pilot plant should also demonstrate the efficiency of Zeotech's novel and proprietary mineral processing technology and proficiency of the process design by producing very high-grade material on a continuous, customer sample scale, basis. The program's aim is to commission pilot plant in the December Quarter 2021. The University of Queensland's Associate Professor James Vaughan and Dr. Hong (Marco) Peng from the School of Chemical Engineering will provide technical support for the pilot plant program's studies. Pilot Plant Funding: As announced on 5 January 2021, the Company raised $1.7 million to support funding of the pilot plant program. It is important to note that as the pilot plant research program revolves around validating Zeotech's patent-pending technology, it is classified as Research and Development and accordingly it will be eligible for the Australian Government's R&D tax incentive scheme. Zeotech targeting Type A zeolites: The Company's novel and proprietary mineral processing technology provides potential access to the AUD 2.6 billion global Type A zeolite market, with a focus on high value molecular sieve zeolites, which achieve prices in excess of AUD 2,850 per tonne.

Zeotech Limited Executes Research Agreement with UQ to Evaluate Carbon Capture Using Synthetic Zeolites Zeotech Limited announced it has executed a dedicated research agreement with The University of Queensland ("UQ") to evaluate the performance of synthetic zeolites in the field of carbon capture, a market that is projected to reach USD 6.15 billion by 2027. Zeotech is assessing how to leverage its novel and proprietary mineral processing technology for the low-cost synthesis of synthetic zeolites to deliver economically feasible environmental management solutions for carbon capture. The carbon capture research program will commence 1 March 2021 and will be carried out over a nine-month period. The program will consist of the following stages: Characterisation of synthetic zeolites and commercial adsorbents - this will involve building a database of different types of the synthetic zeolites and commercial adsorbents, following their characterisation, and comparing properties; Carbon dioxide adsorption capacity and selectivity measurement - this will involve measuring and comparing the carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption capacity of the synthetic zeolites and commercial adsorbents. The synthetic zeolites selectivity of CO2 over other gases such as N2 will also be investigated; and Granulation study of synthetic zeolite products - this will involve an agglomeration study of synthetic zeolites will be carried out in this stage. The preparation process of the synthetic zeolite agglomerate will be explored, and the carbon capture performance of these bulk adsorbents will be evaluated. Zeotech's carbon capture research program will also incorporate detailed economic analysis of: The use of different synthetic zeolites produced by Zeotech and the commercial adsorbents for carbon capture and selectivity; and Granulation of synthetic zeolite products and the commercial adsorbents for carbon capture and selectivity. Growing environmental concerns regarding global warming and climate change have motivated researchers to develop more efficient and improved processes for CO2 capture from large point sources of CO2. Adsorption processes using solid sorbents capable of capturing CO2 from flue gas streams have shown many potential advantages, compared to other conventional CO2 capture processes using aqueous amine solvents. Microporous crystalline framework materials such as synthetic zeolites are widely used in the field of gas separation and purification, commercially. Synthetic zeolites have shown promising results for separation of CO2 from gas streams and there is much published literature concerning CO2 adsorption over different types of zeolites. Zeotech's aim is to leverage the economic benefits of its synthetic zeolite mineral processing technology. For example, UQ's Chemical Engineering team has demonstrated up to 70% reduction in energy consumption in the thermal activation stage and up to 80% reduction in production time in the subsequent zeolite precipitation steps, in the synthesis of synthetic zeolites, coupled with the excellent structural properties of the synthetic zeolite to produce low-cost solid adsorbent for commercial CO2 capture to reduce greenhouse gases. Zeotech is also pleased to advise it continues to grow its in-house technical team, with the
employment of Mr. John Vogrin on a full-time basis. Mr. Vogrin is a PhD candidate (awaiting examination) and Alumina Quality Workshop scholar in the School of Chemical Engineering at The University of Queensland. He has recently submitted his thesis on the hydrothermal synthesis of zeolites in industrial processes such as the Bayer process and anion incorporation into their structure. John's expertise includes XRD (quantitative/qualitative), ICP, XRF, FE-SEM, TGA, PSD and UV-Raman spectroscopy for materials characterisation. His latest publication is 'Influence of Chloride on Sodium Aluminosilicate Solubility in Bayer Liquor'. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering (Honours).

MSE is exploring the application of synthetic zeolites in the agricultural industry after being introduced to Griffith University by the University of Queensland, in order to link into an agronomic zeolite trial program to be conducted over the next 6-9 months. The program will consist of: Zeolite sorption and desorption experimentation; Agronomic performance testing via glasshouse pot trials, benchmarking against conventional soil amendment; Assessing plant growth performance under optimal water-availability and drought conditions; and Pesticide-destruction experiments - testing the photocatalytic oxidation potential of zeolites amended with commonly-encountered pesticides in Australian agriculture. MSE considers one of the inhibitors to the wider commercial adoption of synthetic zeolites in the agricultural sector has been the cost of production. The ability to produce low-cost synthetic zeolites from kaolin or suitable zero-cost mine waste streams using the University of Queensland's developed mineral processing technology enables MSE to tangibly investigate end-product strategies to exploit its patent-pending zeolite mineral processing technologies. Zeolites have a range of agricultural applications, such as; soil amendment i.e. improve water-holding capacity and aid fertilizer uptake; fertilizer additives i.e. aid slow-release; animal feed additives i.e. dietary supplement and mycotoxin adsorption; animal waste treatment i.e. increasing nitrogen retentivity and controlling moisture; and aquaculture i.e. remove ammonium, oxygen generation and as a feed supplement. Griffith University's agronomic zeolite trials will incorporate detailed economic analysis, which may potentially translate into a more intensive collaboration between Griffith University, the University of Queensland and MSE - the objective being to set the foundation for specialised synthetic zeolite Agri-product development studies.
