Neometals Announces the Proposed Cancellation of the Admission of its Ordinary Shares to Trading on AIM in Accordance with Rule 41 of the Aim Rules for Companies Neometals Ltd. announced the proposed cancellation of the admission of its Ordinary Shares ("shares") to trading on AIM (the "Cancellation" or "Delisting") in accordance with Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules"). It is expected that Cancellation will occur on 3 February 2025. Following the Cancellation, the Company's shares will remain listed on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX"), which will continue as the primary trading venue for its equity securities. The Company is providing an opportunity for each Depositary Interest ("DI") holder to become a registered shareholder on the Australian share register. Reasons for the AIM Delisting: Following an extensive review, the Board has concluded that the Company's admission to trading on AIM is not delivering sufficient value for Shareholders. In reaching this conclusion, the Directors have considered the following key factors: The challenging conditions which have impacted the UK market since its admission to trading on AIM in 2022, which have made it challenging to raise capital in the UK. The low levels of liquidity and trading volumes in Neometals' shares on AIM, with shares represented by DIs accounting for less than 1% of Neometals' issued share capital. The cost of maintaining admission to trading on AIM, including professional fees, listing fees payable and incremental legal, auditing and insurance fees. The considerable amount of management time and regulatory burden associated with maintaining the Company's admission to trading on AIM, in addition to the ASX listing. It is the opinion of the Board that streamlining the Company share listings will not materially nor adversely impact existing Shareholders as they will still be able to trade on the ASX. Process for Cancellation: Rule 41 of the AIM Rules requires any AIM company that wishes the London Stock Exchange to cancel the admission of its shares to trading on AIM to notify shareholders and to separately inform the London Stock Exchange of its preferred cancellation date at least 20 clear business days prior to such date. Accordingly, the Company through its nominated adviser, Cavendish Capital Markets Ltd, has notified the London Stock Exchange of the Company's intention to cancel the Company's admission of the shares to trading on AIM and it is expected that the Cancellation will become effective at 7.00 a.m. on 3 February 2025. On the basis that the Company's shares will continue to be listed on ASX, which is an AIM Designated Market (as defined by the AIM Rules for Companies), the Company is not required to seek Shareholder approval for the Cancellation. Expected last day of dealings in the Ordinary Shares on AIM - 31 January 2025. New Risk • Nov 12
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 23% 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (25% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 23% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (39% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (€44.5m market cap, or US$47.3m). Aankondiging • Nov 12
Neometals Ltd Announces Positive Results from Eli Pilot Trial Neometals Ltd. announced the results of the final electrolysis and crystallisation stages of the ELi™ Process Pilot trial. ELi™ is owned by Reed Advanced Materials Pty Ltd. ("RAM"), a 70:30 incorporated joint venture between Neometals Ltd. and Mineral Resources Ltd. Highlights: ELiTM has achieved the objectives of the pilot stage of its electrolysis technology readiness; The crystallisation trial produced high purity lithium hydroxide monohydrate crystals and will produce further samples for market evaluation; The electrolysis trial data supports the expected power consumption and membrane life assumptions, and hydrodynamic testing confirmed the equipment can be applied to commercial-scale operation; The final stages of the Pilot trial involved a 1,000-hour electrolysis test of a lithium chloride solution (South American brine source), purified with ELi™ technology and crystallisation of the lithium hydroxide product; The ELi™ Process potentially delivers users a step-change reduction in operating costs to convert lithium chloride brines to lithium hydroxide (or carbonate) with electrolysis, virtually eliminating bulk reagents. The technology uses electricity to convert lithium chloride solutions into lithium hydroxide in a conventional chlor-alkali cell, replacing the need for large volumes of bulk chemical reagents required in the industry-standard, chemical precipitation process. ELi™ has the potential to deliver users a step-change in operating costs[1] versus industry standard chemical precipitation. RAM completed a long-duration 1,000-hour electrolysis membrane durability test utilising a lithium chloride solution produced in the successful 2023 'purification' trial on brine sourced from South America[2]. The Trial tested the performance of the electrolysis cell membrane over a duration five times longer than historic tests and the results support current estimates of two major variable operating costs (power consumption and membrane life) and successfully produced lithium hydroxide monohydrate ("LHM") of very high purity.

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$43m Forecast net loss in 2 years: AU$1.5m 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (19% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 9.7% 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (9.7% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€3.1m sold).

Neometals Limited Announces Successful Elitm Purification Pilot Trial NNeometals Ltd. announced successful completion of the purification phase ("Purification Testwork") of its Lithium Chemical pilot trial ("Pilot"). The Purification Testwork, conducted on a brine feed source, has confirmed earlier bench-scale testing by removing >97% of brine feed source impurities. This supports production of a purified brine solution that sits comfortably within specification for subsequent electrolysis stage of the Company's majority owned ELi™ process. Neometals' Lithium Chemical business unit is commercialising the ELi™ Technology owned by Reed Advanced Materials Pty Ltd. RAM is co-funding the Pilot with Bondalti group, Portugal's largest chlor-alkali chemical producer and held by José de Mello Group, one of Portugal's largest corporate groups. The ELi™ process comprises brine purification, followed by electrolysis where electricity is used to convert lithium chloride solutions into lithium hydroxide and/or lithium carbonate. The purification Pilot, undertaken by a third party laboratory, processed an actual South American salar brine concentrate. ELi™ has several advantages over conventional processes including lower operating expenditures by substituting electricity for chemical reagents, higher product purity and a smaller CO2 footprint. The Purification Testwork successfully removed impurities that can impede electrolysis efficiency (consumption). Higher and stable electrical current efficiency in turn extends electrolysis membrane durability (useful life), reducing maintenance time and cost and increasing the end-product grade.

Neometals Ltd Announces Production of Battery-Grade Nickel Sulphate by Its Lib Recycling Incorporation Joint Venture, Primobius Gmbh Neometals Ltd. announced the successful production of battery-grade nickel sulphate by its LIB recycling incorporated joint venture, Primobius GmbH ("Primobius"). Primobius is the 50:50 incorporated joint venture established by Neometals and SMS group to co-fund commercialisation of the patented LIB recycling technology ("LIB Recycling Technology"), originally developed by Neometals. The LIB Recycling Technology is based on a two-stage process to recover lithium, nickel and cobalt (amongst others) before refining into battery materials that can be reused to produce new LIB's. Nickel is the largest volume battery material produced in the Primobius process, the second most valuable product and major contributor to ensuring the lithium co-product operating costs are in the lowest quartile. Product test-work LIB's from the German EV auto industry were processed at Primobius' Hilchenbach recycling facility in Germany. Discharged and disassembled LIB modules were processed in the shredding 'Spoke' generating an intermediate product ("Black Mass") which was then refined in the demonstration-scale hydrometallurgical refining 'Hub' to recover the cathode materials into high-purity solutions via solvent extraction and precipitation. The Black Mass is a mixture of the graphite anode and cathode active materials including lithium, nickel and cobalt. The polished Hub nickel solution (feed) was evaporated (mother liquor) and crystallised off-site with a leading European equipment vendor. The nickel sulphate crystals were then washed and assayed by an independent third-party laboratory. The results confirmed the ability of the LIB Recycling Technology to produce battery-grade nickel sulphate and validated the battery-grade product previously produced by Neometals in its 2019 pilot trials in Canada. Primobius' production at scale of battery-grade nickel sulphates follows recent positive lithium recovery results and leaves cobalt sulphate as the final key product to be tested. Cobalt solutions have been dispatched and the test work is expected to be completed in the current quarter. The nickel sulphate results support the marketability of the scaleable Primobius plant packages to be built by partner, and leading plant builder, SMS group GmbH and supplied under technology Licensing agreements. Customers will be able to responsibly recycle their own LiB's, satisfying their regulatory and/or supply chain requirements, producing critical battery materials at potentially the lowest quartile operating cost and doing so with an industry leading carbon footprint.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €76.4m (US$81.0m) 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.

Neometals Ltd Updates Estimate for the Nickel Sulphide Mineral Resource At Its Zabel Deposit Neometals Ltd. announced an updated estimate for the nickel sulphide Mineral Resource at its Zabel deposit ("Zabel"). Zabel forms part of the Mt Edwards Project located in a province of historic nickel sulphide mines surrounding Widgiemooltha. Using historical and new assay data, the reinterpreted Mineral Resource estimate at Zabel has increased in tonnes and grade, with contained nickel now at 6,800 tonnes. Reverse circulation ("RC") drilling was undertaken at Zabel in June 2019. The RC drilling has intercepted massive nickel sulphide, with 11 metres @ 2.6% nickel including 4 metres @ 6.3% nickel from 108 metres down drill-hole. This was the first nickel exploration drilling at Zabel since 2007. The re-estimation of the Zabel Mineral Resource is a continuation of a major review of the Mt Edwards project undertaken by Neometals since mid-2019, which has included an audit of the drill database and the historical exploration and mining literature. A future work program is planned for Zabel that will include reverse circulation drilling ("RC") and diamond core drilling ("DD") to further assess the extents of mineralisation and improve the understanding of the metallurgical characteristics to pave the way for mining studies. Off hole conductor plates interpreted from DHEM surveys adjacent to the known mineralisation will also be tested with a view to increase the scale of the Zabel deposit. The Zabel Mineral Resource was estimated by Richard addocks from Auralia Mining Consultants. The Mineral Resource estimate for the Zabel Deposit of 351,000 tonnes at 1.9% nickel for 6,800 nickel tonnes is reported in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the `Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia (JORC Code) and follows a detailed interrogation and review of the available data, including the earlier reported Mineral Resource estimates by the previous holders of the tenement. The Zabel nickel deposit is located on mining lease M15/97, approximately 13km north-east of the Widgiemooltha Roadhouse (50km from Kambalda). Access from the Coolgardie to Esperance Highway is via well-established roads used for previous mining and exploration in the area. There has been no mining in the immediate vicinity of the Zabel Mineral Resource, and geological knowledge has been sought by drill sample logging and surface mapping combined with interpretations of geophysical surveys. The Zabel Mineral Resource is located at the northern end of a line of eleven nickel deposits at the Mt Edwards Project. The drill database used in the Mineral Resource estimate is comprised of samples from diamond core drilling and RC drilling across several exploration campaigns from 1968 to 2019. INCO carried out drilling on the prospect in 1968-1971 and called it the 384N project, while WMC conducted drilling campaigns between 1980 and 1999. The majority of drilling was carried out by WMC in the period 1997-1998. No details on the drilling and sampling techniques used by INCO and WMC have been found. Titan undertook a significant amount of RC and Diamond drilling between 2003 and 2007, and much of the diamond core has been used for high quality logging and density analysis. Information from 42,016 metres of Diamond Core, Air Core and RC drilling across 535 drill holes are within the Zabel area located within mining lease M15/97. While all information is used in the local geological interpretation, not all of these holes are mineralised nor were they all used or influence the Mineral Resource Estimate for Zabel. Mining and metallurgical factors or assumptions were not explicitly used in estimating the Mineral Resource. It is assumed that underground mining methods would be used for any future mining operations, with the development of a portal using a box cut for an entry point to the decline. A nickel cut-off grade of 1.0% is considered the most appropriate for the Mineral Resource estimate, however, the mineralisation is robust and maintains some continuity when higher cut-off grades are applied. The 1% nickel cut-off grade is considered to approximate economic mining cut-off grades for an underground mining scenario comparable to recently published updated underground nickel Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources in the area. The distribution of high grade arsenic and magnesium requires further delineation, and a more detailed interpretation will be needed for the planning of any future economic extraction.

Barrambie Announces Ilmenite Test Work Results Neometals Ltd. announced excellent results from beneficiation test-work which has generated further concentrate samples for scale up validation work in China. The largest-scale test work program was conducted on three bulk samples (20 tonnes) of Barrambie Eastern band (high titanium zone) mineralised material which generated 11 tonnes of heavy mineral concentrate (containing titanium, vanadium and iron) from traditional gravity spirals used by the mineral sands industry. Low-temperature reduction roasting and subsequent magnetic separation produced a high-quality ilmenite (> 52 % TiO2 content) at high recoveries (> 87% TiO2 recovery) and mass yield of 60%, and a marketable magnetite by-product concentrate (with grades equivalent to 58.7% Fe and 1.58% V2O5). Historically, Neometals has evaluated the production of either vanadium or titanium in isolation using different flowsheets. Vanadium and titanium are industrial minerals which require significant proof of value-in-use when negotiating with potential off- takers. The Barrambie development strategy seeks to realise value from both the titanium and vanadium in the deposit via the generation of clean multi-metal concentrates from an initial capital-light mining and beneficiation operation for export to end-users. The reductive roast-magnetic separation work is a breakthrough for the Company as it can with confidence produce two separate products that achieved market ready specifications, with high mass pulls towards the potential higher value ilmenite product. Neometals' Chinese partner, IMUMR, is due to take delivery of a 1 tonne sample of the mixed concentrate material to allow replication of the Neometals reductive roast results and further downstream processing of the products. Validation of Australian test-work results using Chinese laboratories is standard practice in China and will support ongoing product offtake dialogues. Aankondiging • Oct 06
Neometals Ltd Updates Nickel Sulphide Mineral Resource Neometals Ltd. updated nickel sulphide Mineral Resource at its 132N deposit estimated in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code. 132N forms part of the Mt Edwards Project located in a province of historic nickel sulphide mines. Using historical and new assay data the reinterpreted Mineral Resource estimate at 132N has more than doubled the amount of contained nickel from 4,070 to 9,050 tonnes. A diamond core drillhole and daughter wedge was undertaken at 132N in June 2018 to test for strike extensions of the historical Mineral Resource. Drilling generated a significant intercept of 15.6 metres at 1.24% nickel and has improved the understanding of the interpreted geology. The reestimation of the 132N Mineral Resource follows a major review of the Mt Edwards project since mid2019, which has included an audit of the drill database and the historical exploration and mining literature. The scope to further grow Mt Edwards has driven consideration of a future work program that will include reverse circulation and diamond core drilling to further test the mineralisation, including infill drilling to increase confidence sufficient to `upgrade' the Mineral Resource classification. Future drilling and sampling will be used to further improve the understanding of the mineralogy and metallurgical characteristics to pave the way for advanced mining studies at 132N. In addition, Neometals has recently completed targeted geophysical surveys and drill programs at its Lake Eaton South prospect and future work will be driven by further assay outcomes. Neometals continues to build a pipeline of short lead time deposits to realise value at Mt Edwards. 132N deposit Mineral Resource doubles in Nickel tonnes, with the estimate now 460,000 tonnes at 2.0% nickel for 9,050 tonnes of contained nickel The 132N Mineral Resource is located between 80 and 350 metres below and north of a previous open pit mined by Western Mining Corporation Global Mineral Resources at the Mt Edwards project increased to 8.72 million tonnes at 1.7% nickel for 146,000 tonnes of contained nickel across 11 deposits Exploration continues at Lake Eaton South prospect with diamond and RC drilling.
