New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 2 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: AU$13m Forecast net loss in 2 years: AU$6.3m This is considered a minor risk.

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. 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$42m free cash flow). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (57% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (AU$6.3m net loss in 2 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$95.0m market cap, or US$67.9m).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: AU$113.5m (US$72.8m) This is considered a minor 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 Earnings have declined by 63% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (12% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$113.5m market cap, or US$72.8m).

Queensland Pacific Metals Ltd Announces the Results of Its Advanced Feasibility Study for Stage 1 of the Tech Project and Scoping Study for Stage 2 Expansion of the Tech Project Queensland Pacific Metals Ltd. announced the results of its Advanced Feasibility Study ("Feasibility Study") for Stage 1 of the TECH Project and a Scoping Study for Stage 2 expansion of the TECH Project. Stage 1 of the TECH Project has been designed at a nameplate capacity to process 1.05m dmt (1.6m wmt) per annum. QPM and its debt advisors KPMG have made significant progress to date on procuring debt funding for the TECH Project: NAIF Strategic Assessment Phase completed; Export Finance Australia conditional commitment received for AUD 250 million; K-Sure formal expression of interest to participate on terms similar to Export Finance Australia; and Other export credit agencies and commercial banks who have provided formal expressions of interest. As part of QPM's ongoing discussions with these debt financiers, the Feasibility Study is sufficiently advanced to commence formal due diligence with an Independent Technical Expert ("ITE"). This body of work will begin imminently in parallel with QPM continuing to undertake engineering work on certain aspects of the plant to improve accuracy. These aspects primarily concern the KBR engineering package, which includes iron hydrolysis, aluminium removal and nitric acid recovery and recycle. QPM, Hatch and KBR are working as an integrated team to optimise the design and minimise technical risk in these areas. In addition, value engineering (cost reduction) initiatives will also be undertaken across the Project. Contingency in the capital estimate has currently been assumed at 10%. Following the KBR engineering package work and value engineering, a detailed contingency estimate will be undertaken using the standard Quantitative Risk Assessment methodology. In preparing the capital estimate, QPM believes it has been undertaken at the peak of global manufacturing pricing. This is based on discussions with key equipment vendors who are seeing significant reductions in international producer price indices. Before reaching financial close for the debt package, QPM will update the capital estimate to ensure it represents current market information and will sign lump sum EP contracts with the key technology vendors. Easing global inflation, particularly continued reductions in equipment manufacturing costs in the near term, will likely reduce the capital cost of constructing the TECH Project. QPM has previously highlighted the strong potential for expanding the TECH Project following successful Stage 1 commercialisation. This is based on availability of limonite ore, gas supply, supporting infrastructure in Lansdown, and other factors. In addition, the execution of the offtake agreement with General Motors for 100% of nickel and cobalt production for the life of project from a Stage 2 expansion further reinforces this potential. In addition, QPM and Hatch have undertaken a Scoping Study on the Stage 2 expansion of the TECH Project using the following key assumptions: For simplicity, Stage 2 is at the same scale as Stage 1, with the same grade of ore being processed; HPA production levels are not increased as part of the expansion, but this is possible if there is strong market demand; No utilisation of existing rail infrastructure for logistics work will be undertaken in the future to assess this opex-saving opportunity; and Co-location of Stage 2 expansion next to Stage 1, within the Lansdown precinct. The Scoping Study identified the following synergies for the TECH Project: AUD 350 million reduction in capital cost compared with Stage 1 capital estimate - as a result of synergies and no expansion of HPA production; Estimated opex reductions of ~7% due to: Economies of scale; Increased purchasing power; and Shared services such as laboratory, administration, maintenance functions, working capital and equipment etc; and Increased plant availability across the entire project by 2.5% as a result of maintenance scheduling advantages, process stream cross-overs and greater capacity to absorb equipment downtime with common plant and equipment being available.

Queensland Pacific Metals Limited Announces First 4N HPA Made from New Caledonia Ore Queensland Pacific Metals Ltd. announced that lab scale testwork undertaken by Lava Blue has successfully produced 4N High Purity Alumina from aluminium hydroxide feedstock produced by QPM as part of its piloting of the DNi ProcessTM on New Caledonian ore. The purity of the HPA was 99.996%. Testwork: QPM's pilot plant operation produced intermediate aluminium hydroxide from New Caledonian ore. Previous testwork undertaken by QPM was successful in producing high purity aluminium chloride, the final precursor to HPA. Aluminium chloride produced by QPM was sent to Lava Blue for testwork at its Queensland University of Technology ("QUT") laboratory. Lava Blue's work program was to: Confirm that 4N HPA could be successfully produced from QPM's aluminium chloride precursor by assaying impurities; Produce 4N HPA from the aluminium chloride. Lava Blue's testwork confirmed that QPM's aluminium chloride was very pure. From the assay results of QPM's aluminium chloride, Lava Blue projected HPA purity to be in the range of 99.995 - 99.998%, giving it confidence to proceed with the second part of the work program. To produce HPA, the aluminium chloride samples were calcined to 800°C in batches to yield transitional alumina. The samples yielded from this process were then combined and homogenised. The next step was to take the homogenised transitional alumina and convert it to a final HPA product by a second heating stage to above 1,150°C. Assaying this final product in the QUT HPA laboratory resulted in a purity of 99.996%, in line with Lava Blue's projections. The next step for QPM in the HPA work program is to now prepare for further testwork including piloting at Lava Blue's demonstration plant, which is nearing completion, and to commission DFS activities on HPA. QPM will imminently finalise the appointment of Stantec and the HPA DFS workstream will be able to be completed in line with the rest of the TECH Project DFS. Executive Departure • Oct 03

Queensland Pacific Metals Limited Assays Delivery Excellent Results Queensland Pacific Metals Ltd. announce that it has received positive assay results for the MHP produced from its recent piloting testwork for the TECH Project. As part of QPM's technical team, it engaged leading consultants who are experts in both MHP production and its refining of MHP into nickel and cobalt sulfate. These experts (including specialist David White who has worked with many nickel laterite and MHP producers) have confirmed that the assay results of QPM's MHP are in line with leading MHP products that are currently sold around the world, largely for the purpose of refining into nickel and cobalt sulfate. MHP is currently the preferred nickel feed source for refining to nickel sulfate as the process to do so is commercial, relatively straight forward and has low capital and operating costs. The issue is that there is limited MHP available in the global market, and sulfate producers have had to supplement their feed with nickel metal. Historically, MHP used to sell for around 65-75% of the LME nickel price (for the nickel contained in the MHP). However, with the growth in demand for nickel sulfate, MHP payability has increased significantly. In the most recent quarter, leading nickel analysts Benchmark Minerals reported MHP payability had increased to 84.5% in the recent December 2020 quarter. This percent payability is for good quality MHP products. Inferior MHP sells at a lower percent payability. QPM's intention is for the TECH Project is to sell nickel and cobalt sulfate as a value-add product. However, given that it is a high purity battery chemical, there can sometimes be a period of product acceptance testwork on commercial scale production that must be undertaken with potential offtakers. The ability to sell high quality MHP in parallel with this acceptance period will be a benefit for the TECH Project. Annuncio • Mar 09
Queensland Pacific Metals Limited Announces GHG Report Confirms Tech Project's Low Co2 Emissions Queensland Pacific Metals Limited announce the findings of an interim report into greenhouse gas ("GHG") intensity of the TECH Project. QPM commissioned Minviro, an international company specialising in life cycle assessment of mining and mineral processing projects, to prepare an interim report on the GHG emissions for the TECH Project. Minviro's approach to calculation of GHG emissions is a `cradle to gate' approach which
encompassed: Mining of ore in New Caledonia through to processing of ore to final products; Transportation of final products (nominally Asia); and
Transportation relating to reagents required for the TECH Project. The inputs for Minviro's emissions calculation were taken from QPM's Pre-Feasibility Study for the TECH Project, scaled up in accordance with QPM's recently announced expansion plans (1.2-1.5Mtpa) and adjusted for subsequent optimisation work undertaken by QPM. Recent spot level pricing was used to calculate the value of co-products into nickel equivalent units. Annuncio • Feb 22
Queensland Pacific Metals Limited Announces Strong Offtake Interest Drives Major Expansion Queensland Pacific Metals Ltd. announced that it has formally committed to increase the scale of the TECH Project by at least two times from what was originally contemplated in the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS). 1.2+M wet tpa TECH Project: Initial consideration of increasing the scale of the TECH Project from the PFS size (0.6M wet tpa) was driven by discussions with potential offtakers and the respective Memorandums of Understanding signed with LG Chem and Samsung SDI. From these discussions, it was evident to QPM that increasing production of key battery metals nickel and cobalt would increase the appeal of the TECH Project to offtakers. The increase in size will also allow QPM to benefit from large economies of scale, which will improve the capital efficiency and project economics of the TECH Project. When considering the size of the TECH Project, QPM wanted to ensure that the associated capital expenditure was still manageable from a financing perspective. Other key project considerations included: Ore supply; Environmental approvals process; Infrastructure capacity and constraints; and Supply of consumables. The TECH Project will be scaled up to process 1.2 - 1.5M wet tpa ore, with the final sizing to be determined by the Definitive Feasibility Study. Ore supply: QPM currently has an ore supply agreement with Societe des Mines de la Tontouta ("SMT") and Societe Miniere Georges Montagnat S.A.R.L ("SMGM") for 0.6M wet tpa over a 10 year period with a 5 year option on agreement. QPM has been assessing additional ore supply opportunities, including from its own Sewa Bay project. QPM is confident that it can secure the additional ore supply required to feed the larger scale TECH Project. The limonite ore (the "top half" of nickel laterite ore bodies) being targeted by QPM has limited processing options apart from the problematic high pressure acid leach technology. Therefore, resources are generally well in excess of demand. Environmental Approvals: Environmental consultants EMM Consulting commenced approvals work late 2020 on the basis of the 1.2-1.5M wet tpa TECH Project size. Based on EMM's advice and discussions with key regulatory bodies, there was no material difference with respect to timing for obtaining project approvals at this scale. Environmental approvals remain on track for the December 2021 quarter. Infrastructure Capacity and Constraints: QPM assessed key infrastructure required to support the project, with logistics playing an important role. Port capacity for ore importation and product exports has been confirmed with the Port of Townsville Limited ("POTL") and a MOU with POTL was recently executed. Both road and rail remain viable transport options for the TECH Project linking the Port of Townsville to the Lansdown Eco-Industrial Precinct. Consumables: QPM is confident of procuring the higher levels of gas and power required for the larger scale project. The increased level of consumption may improve supply opportunities for QPM as it becomes a bigger baseload customer. Because of process flowsheet improvements, water consumption is likely to reduce compared with the PFS estimate, despite the increased scale. Other opportunities such as on-site co-generation of power and steam, which is a required input for the processing plant, may now be financially attractive and will be explored as part of the DFS. Project Schedule: With the finalisation of the scale of the TECH Project and advancement in project approvals and technical work streams, QPM has prepared an updated project schedule as shown below. First production is targeted for 2023. The plant design remains a single leaching train flowsheet and so construction time is unaffected by the doubling of production capacity. Finalisation of DNi Process™ License with Altilium Group: QPM's license arrangement was previously governed by a Framework Agreement. As part of the Framework Agreement, QPM and Altilium Group ("Altilium") were to execute a definitive agreement for licensing of the DNi Process™. QPM and Altilium have now finalised the definitive agreement. The key terms include: 30 year term; Exclusive rights to utilise the DNi Process™ within a 100km radius of the Port of Townsville; Ongoing fees for the exclusivity rights and use of the DNi Process™ on terms that are commercial in confidence, but are in line with assumptions utilised in the Pre-Feasibility Study.

Queensland Pacific Metals Ltd Enters into Memorandum of Understanding with Port of Townsville Limited Queensland Pacific Metals Ltd. announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Port of Townsville Limited regarding port access for the TECH Project. Under the MOU, POTL has confirmed that based on expected future port utilisation and having regard to the capacity available within the approved Port Expansion Project footprint, there will be sufficient capacity for QPM to import up to 1.5 million tonnes per annum of ore and to export requisite production associated with this volume of ore. This provides confidence for an expansion of the TECH Project, knowing that there is sufficient port capacity to allow higher levels of ore importation than what was considered in the Pre-Feasibility Study. POTL and QPM have agreed to assess development options at the Port of Townsville to meet QPM's requirements including: Capacity and constraints at existing port infrastructure including berths, rail, roads and land; Development options to increase capacity and efficiencies to handle TECH Project volumes (if required); New infrastructure or equipment required to handle QPM imported ore and products; Site options for the development of storage facilities for QPM at the port. Once the optimum development option is determined, POTL and QPM will negotiate in good faith a
commercial arrangement to govern the development costs and ongoing use of the port. Annuncio • Sep 21
