Ionic Rare Earths Limited Announces Shovel-Ready Project Offers Fast-Track to Ex-China Supply Ionic Rare Earths Limited is advancing discussions on the development of its Makuutu Heavy Rare Earth Project as China's latest rare earth export restrictions increase focus on the necessity of a Western supply chain. Located in Uganda, IonicRE's Makuutu Rare Earths Project ranks amongst the world's largest and most advanced ionic adsorption clay (IAC) deposits. Added to the Mineral Security Partnership (MSP) in 2023, Makuutu is considered a globally strategic resource for the near term, offering a low capital development and facilitating long-term supply of magnet and heavy rare earth oxides (REO's). The Makuutu deposit comprises nine licences covering around 300 square kilometres, located 120 km east of Kampala. The defined mineralisation stretches 37 km long and is situated near high-quality infrastructure. A mining licence was awarded in January 2024 for the central Makuutu tenement, representing the first large-scale mining licence issued in Uganda under the 2022 Mining Act. First production of Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate (MREC) was achieved during the March quarter 2024 at the Makuutu Demonstration Plant, fostering engagement with potential offtakers and strategic partners. Makuutu's membership of the MSP highlights the strategic importance of the project as a new source of magnet and heavy rare earth elements. IonicRE has continued several financing discussions with MSP partners. Makuutu is being developed by Rwenzori Rare Metals Limited ("RRM"), a Ugandan private company which owns 100% of the Makuutu Project. These add to previous export controls on antimony, gallium and germanium and the technology used to make rare earth magnets. Importantly, the Makuutu MREC product basket announced in IonicRE's Definitive Feasibility Study released in March 2023 demonstrated a basket rich in medium and heavy REOs, notably able to help offset the elements targeted in the control restrictions. Ionic Technologies International Limited ("Ionic Technologies"), a 100% owned UK subsidiary, has developed processes for the separation and recovery of rare earth elements (REE) from mining ore concentrates and recycled permanent magnets. Ionic Technologies is focusing on the commercialisation of the technology to achieve near complete extraction from end of life /spent magnets and waste (swarf) to high value, separated and traceable magnet rare earth products with grades exceeding 99.5% rare earth oxide (REO). In June 2023, Ionic Technologies announced initial production of high purity magnet REOs from its newly commissioned Demonstration Plant and moved to continuous production in March 2024, providing a first mover advantage in the industrial elemental extraction of REEs from recycling. The business also benefited from support from the UK Government to develop magnet demagnetisation and comminution processes in partnership with Materials Processing Institute (MPI) and Swansea University. In November 2024, IonicRE released a Feasibility Study showing the strong potential for a profitable and unique commercial REO manufacturing facility in Belfast, UK, recycling pre-consumer rare earth magnet scrap and end-of-life magnets, delivering sovereign capability to the UK and supporting regional investment in Northern Ireland. The Makuutu Rare Earth's Project in Uganda, 60% owned by IonicRE, moving to 94% ownership) is well-supported by existing tier-one infrastructure and is on track to become a long-life, low Capex, scalable and sustainable supplier of high-value magnet and heavy REO. IonicRE has also executed a transformational 50/50 joint venture refinery and magnet recycling facility in Brazil with Viridis Mining and Minerals Limited to separate high value magnet and heavy rare earths from the Colossus Project's full spectrum of REOs. This integrated strategy completes the circular economy of sustainable and traceable magnet and heavy rare earth products from the Colossus Project's full range of REOs. This integrated strategies completes the circular economy of sustainable, sustainable and traceable magnet and traceable magnet and Heavy rare earth products. The Makuutu rare earth products is well-life products is well-life, low Capex. Board Change • Feb 04

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.2% 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: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$16m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.7% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$330k revenue, or US$213k).

Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.9% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$330k revenue, or US$220k).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.9% per year for the foreseeable future. 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.

Ionic Rare Earths Limited Provides Update on U.S. Downstream Strategy The Board of Ionic Rare Earths Limited provided an update on its downstream activities and advises that it remains fully committed to advancing and building its downstream capacity in the United States. With the pending finalisation of the Mining Licence Application (MLA) at the Makuutu Rare Earth Project ("Makuutu" or "the Project") and significant progress achieved in 2022 at the IonicRE's 100% owned magnet recycling subsidiary, Ionic Technologies ("IonicTech") facility in Belfast, UK, the Company continues to focus on further advancing discussions with several groups who have indicated a desire for greater critical mineral supply security and specifically access to the Makuutu basket of heavy rare earth elements. Over the last few months IonicRE has been engaging with US State representatives to best locate and establish a rare earth separation and refining plant (Refinery), located within close proximity to suppliers of reagents, and potential end user customers. As part of discussions, the potential nominated location is also within close proximity to a technical partner who would enhance the potential supply chain for value addition of separated and refined rare earth oxides (REO) to value added products. In addition, the Company continues to further engage with the US Government departments, US automotive industry and other OEMs, and seeks to enhance its US based representation by establishing relationships with potential strategic partners that are able to demonstrate access to funding, both public and private, for the development of the Refinery. These discussions will be further supported through the completion of the Refinery Scoping Study which is well advanced, and being completed with key input from potential stakeholders. The Refinery Scoping Study is expected to be finalised at the end of First Quarter 2023, pending key agreements being reached on proposed location. Following on from the appointment of additional key senior personnel in IonicTech (ASX: 1 February 2023), the Company is now progressing several discussions to expand its activities in the U.S. to include the establishment of a magnet recycling facility with a strategic partner. Magnet recycling presents an opportunity to enter the US market early and commence commercial supply engagement with customers of magnet rare earth products, plus enables the Company to participate in initial programs aimed at building US domestic rare earth capability. Given geopolitical tensions and US government initiatives to support the domestic production of permanent magnets to provide a foundation for US manufacturing across several industries, initiatives such as the US Inflations Reduction Act and critical materials supply agenda enables the Company, with strategic partners, to be a potential early mover in the rare earths supply chain, supported by a long life, magnet and heavy rare earths asset like Makuutu.
