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. Announcement • Jan 21

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). Shares are highly illiquid. 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$212k).
