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$18m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 8.0% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m.

Nextsource Materials Inc. Announces Robust Feasibility Study Results for Molo Mine Expansion to 150,000 Tonnes Per Annum of Superflake(R) Graphite Concentrate NextSource Materials Inc. announced the results of a Feasibility Study (the FS) for a mine expansion of its 100%-owned Molo Graphite Mine in southern Madagascar. The FS considers an expansion to the Molo Graphite Mine's current Phase 1 production capacity of 17,000 tonnes per annum ("tpa") through the construction of an additional and standalone processing plant that increases the steady-state production rate to 150,000 tpa of SuperFlak graphite concentrate over a 25-year life of mine ("LOM"). The FS projects a capital cost of USD161.7 million resulting in a pre-tax NPV using an 8% discount rate of USD424.1 million and a pre-tax IRR of 31.1%. The FS assumes the additional processing plant will be built adjacent to the current Phase 1 processing plant, currently in the ramp-up stage of production. CSPG is the final form of natural graphite required by OEMs to manufacture lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. Ongoing discussions with numerous OEMs and battery anode offtake partners indicate market demand for CSPG over the long-term is expected to experience significant growth and could support additional expansions of the Molo's mine processing capacity. The Company has not yet made a construction decision in respect to the expansion and will discuss the FS results with its strategic partners to determine the optimal timing and assess the funding options that are available with respect to this potential mine expansion. Results SUMMARY: The following summary highlights the financial metrics provided in the FS. All capital and operating costs estimates are prepared in line with a Class 3 estimate as per the American Association of Cost Engineers classification and are accurate to +/- 15 to 25%. The LOM average selling price of US$1,191/t of concentrate (Real) used in the FS is the volume weighted average sales price for the various flake sizes and grades of SuperFlake® graphite concentrate that are expected to be produced from the Molo Graphite Mine. Prices used are based on current market prices provided by UK-based, commodity price reporting agencies Benchmark Minerals Intelligence and Fastmarkets, who are recognized as leaders in providing independent and unbiased market research, pricing trends, and demand and supply analyses for the natural flake graphite market. Current market prices in real US dollar terms were used through to 2028 and flatlined from that point forward over the rest of the LOM. A pricing premium for increased carbon grade was applied based on recent market trends for products exceeding 94% carbon. No other premiums were applied. The FS does not consider any potential for downstream value-added processing of the flake graphite concentrate such as conversion into SPG and CSPG, thermal expansion for use in foils, and other specialty graphite applications.

NextSource Materials Inc. Announces Completion of 2.6Mw Solar Farm At Molo Graphite Mine in Madagascar NextSource Materials Inc. announced that construction of the solar farm for the solar hybrid power plant (the "Solar Hybrid Plant") at the Company's Molo Graphite mine in Madagascar has been completed. The Solar Hybrid Plant is owned and operated by CrossBoundary Energy (CBE) under a 20-year power purchase agreement and consists of the 2.6 MW solar farm, a 3.1 MW thermal facility (diesel generators installed prior to mine commissioning), and a 1 MWh battery energy storage system ("BESS"), which is expected to arrive in the next few weeks. The solar farm was constructed by CBE using local labour and comprises a total of 4,902 photovoltaic panels, covering 12,663 square metres, installed on ballasted mounting systems. The 2.6 MW solar farm is expected to produce approximately 4 GWh of clean energy per year, reducing the mine's all-in sustaining costs, and is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 2,275 tonnes annually. Final electrical interconnections between the solar farm with the mine are now underway and are expected to be completed within the coming weeks. The Solar Hybrid Plant is designed to generate 33% of the Molo mine's steady-state power requirements from renewable energy. The solar facility together with load balancing provided by the BESS will be capable of supplying up to 100% of the plant's power requirements during peak daylight hours, with the thermal facility supplying all off peak power requirements, thereby ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to the mine. NextSource and CBE are committed to optimizing the solar component and increasing the amount of renewable energy available to the mine, which would include the expansion of the solar farm and the potential addition of wind turbines. In support of this, CBE has installed a wind measuring LIDAR device to evaluate the wind resource at the site and studying the feasibility of adding wind generation in the short term. As part of any potential future expansion of the Molo mine, the Company has set a goal of increasing the percentage generated by renewable power to at least 50%. Price Target Changed • Jun 16

NextSource Materials Inc. Announces Preliminary Economic Assessment for a Mine Expansion of 150,000 Tonnes Per Annum of SuperFlake® Graphite Concentrate NextSource Materials Inc. announced the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment for an enhanced Phase 2 expansion of its 100%-owned Molo Graphite Mine Project in southern Madagascar. The PEA considered an enhanced Phase 2 expansion consisting of a stand-alone processing plant with a production capacity of 150,000 tonnes per annum of flake graphite concentrate over a 26-year life of mine. The PEA projects that the capital costs to construct 150,000 tpa of processing capacity would be USD 155.8 million with a pre-tax NPV utilizing an 8% discount rate of USD 929.6 million and a pre-tax IRR of 41.1%. The PEA assumed the Phase 2 processing plant will be built adjacent to the 17,000 tpa Phase 1 processing plant, currently under construction. The PEA was prepared by Erudite Strategies Ltd. of South Africa, an independent engineering and consulting firm specializing in the mining and processing of commodities and battery materials. The Company cautions that the PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. The PEA is based on a full suite of metallurgical test work performed by SGS Canada Metallurgical Services Inc. in Lakefield, Ontario, Canada. These tests included lab and bench scale process development work, a bulk sample/pilot plant program, and metallurgical variability testing. The overall graphitic carbon recovery into the final concentrate is 88.3%. The selling price used in the PEA is the volume weighted average sales price for the various flake sizes and grades of SuperFlake® graphite concentrate that are expected to be produced from the Molo deposit. Prices used are based on current market prices provided by UK-based, commodity price reporting agencies Benchmark Minerals Intelligence and Fastmarkets, who are recognized as leaders in providing independent and unbiased market research, pricing trends and demand and supply analyses for the natural flake graphite market. No price escalation for graphite sales prices into the future was applied to the PEA model. Current market prices were used and flatlined over the life of mine. No pricing premium for valued-added applications was applied on any sales. Furthermore, no financial or operational calculations and/or scenarios in the PEA financial model with regards to downstream value-added processing of SuperFlake® graphite concentrate were included. This includes purification, spherodization coating for battery-grade graphite and thermal expansion for specialty graphite applications, such as foils. Battery Anode Facility: The PEA's enhanced Phase 2 capacity was determined based on discussions with automotive manufacturers and battery anode offtake partners. The Company and the battery anode offtake partners are evaluating construction of a battery anode facility, capable of converting flake graphite concentrate from any qualified mine into spheronized and purified graphite and into coated SPG. CSPG is the final form of natural graphite required to manufacture lithium-ion batteries required by OEMs. As announced on November 15, 2021, the Company initiated a technical study to determine the capital and operating costs for first BAF and is considering several proposed locations. Based on recent discussions with OEMs and battery anode offtake partners, the Company expects demand for CSPG to experience significant growth. Molo PHASE 1 Construction and Commissioning Update: On January 11, 2022, the Company announced the Molo Phase 1 processing plant, which was fully fabricated and constructed at an offshore facility, had successfully passed Factory Acceptance Testing and final verification. The Processing Plant has since been dismantled, packaged and is now ready to be shipped to the mine site. Due to Madagascar's ongoing COVID-19 travel restrictions, and recent cyclone activity impacting the eastern seaboard of the country, the commencement of earthworks and civil work at the mine site has been delayed and commissioning of the Molo Phase 1 process plant is now targeted for Q3, 2022. Phase 1 of the Molo Graphite Mine is fully funded and when commissioned, Molo will become one of the few operating graphite mines outside of China. The Company has not yet made a production decision in respect of Phase 2. The Company expects that it will assess the results of a definitive feasibility study before making a production decision in respect of Phase 2. Aankondiging • Jan 12

NextSource Materials Inc. Initiates Technical Study for 150,000 TPA Phase 2 Expansion of Molo Graphite Mine and Initiation of Research Coverage by Cormark Securities NextSource Materials Inc. announced the commencement of a technical study for a Phase 2 production capacity of at least 150,000 tonnes per annum ("tpa") of SuperFlake® for its Molo Graphite Mine in Madagascar. This is a significant increase from its 2019 Feasibility Study ("FS") that considered a Phase 2 capacity of only 45,000 tpa. The new minimum targeted capacity was determined after recent discussions with its flake graphite offtake partners and with its partnership for the construction of a battery anode facility ("BAF") to produce spheronized and purified graphite ("SPG"). The purpose of the technical study is to determine the project economics pertaining to this increase in targeted production for Phase 2. Battery shortage is a major risk to the burgeoning electric car era. Security of supply of critical materials that go into these batteries is at the top of the agenda for governments around the world. NextSource is well positioned to become a significant producer of graphite and a strategic supplier of battery anode material necessary to support the electric vehicle revolution, providing a fully integrated graphite product from "the mine to the battery". Construction of Phase 1 of the Molo mine is currently in progress. Construction of Phase 2 expansion is expected to begin after completion of Phase 1. Construction of the BAF is expected to begin in 2022 and the Company is currently in discussions with its offtake partners as to the initial production capacity of the facility. Independent testing by various third-party end users of flake graphite confirmed that NextSource's SuperFlake® graphite meets or exceeds quality requirements for all major end-markets for natural flake graphite. The major end-markets are refractories, anode material for lithium-ion batteries, specialty graphite foils used as essential components in the chemical, aeronautical and fire-retardant industries, and graphene in high-end ink and substrate applications. SuperFlake® graphite concentrate can achieve 98% carbon (C) purity with flotation, has excellent thermal expansion, can be easily upgraded to 99.97% purity (battery grade), contains minimal deleterious substances and has high crystallinity. SuperFlake® graphite concentrate has excellent flake size distribution that is well above the global average, with 46.4% being classified as +80 (large), +65 (extra large) and +48 (jumbo) mesh in flake size. Specifically, 23.6% of SuperFlake® graphite concentrate is +48 mesh and greater in size. SuperFlake® is a registered trademark in Canada, the United States, Japan, South Korea, U.K. and the European Union. These key jurisdictions represent the top demand markets for flake graphite and the locations where NextSource intends to sell its SuperFlake® graphite and anode material. Aankondiging • May 12
