Piedmont Lithium Inc. Announces the Final Results from the North American Lithium 2024 Drilling Program Piedmont Lithium Inc. announced the final results received from the North American Lithium ("NAL") 2024 drilling program. NAL is North America's producing spodumene mine and is jointly owned by Piedmont (25%) and Sayona Mining Limited (75%). The 2024 drilling program was launched in February 2024 and concluded in December 2024. The program focused on the strategic objectives of enhancing the existing Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and identifying additional mineralization which may lead to an increase of the MRE. Piedmont and Sayona will incorporate the latest drill results into an updated MRE, aiming to upgrade resource classification and increase overall resource tonnage. These results also reinforce the potential for expanding production at NAL. At the same time, they support improved mine planning to maximize project value and efficient resource development.

Piedmont Lithium Announces High-Grade Drill Results Continue at North American Lithium Piedmont Lithium announced that additional high-grade drill results at North American Lithium (“NAL”) in Quebec continue to demonstrate the potential for a significant upgrade to the mineral resource estimate. These new drill results follow similar assay results released in May 2024. The 2023-2024 drill program has identified multiple, new, high-grade lithium zones beyond the planned pit shell model, with intercepts at thicker and higher grades than previously encountered. Mineralization within the pit shell model has shown continuity and consistency in grade and thickness. An additional 30,000 meters of exploration drilling at NAL is planned for 2024. NAL is the largest lithium operation in North America and is jointly owned by Piedmont (25%) and Sayona Mining Limited (75%). The operation has continued to achieve quarterly record spodumene concentrate volumes since restarting production in March 2023 and is targeting steady-state production in H2 2024.

Piedmont Lithium Announces High-Grade Drill Results At North American Lithium Piedmont Lithium announced that new and expanded high-grade lithium mineralization zones have been identified at North American Lithium ("NAL") in Quebec. NAL is jointly owned by Piedmont (25%) and Sayona Mining Limited (75%). The results of the 2023 NAL drill program indicate the potential for a significant mineral resource upgrade and possible mine life extension. Multiple thick, high-grade spodumene-bearing pegmatites were discovered beyond current NAL pit operations and the planned pit shell model along the northwest, northeast, and southeast margins. The drill results support potential conversion of Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated Resources within the pit shell model and could lead to additional resource definition below the pit shell model at depth. NAL restarted production in March 2023 and has consistently achieved record production volumes each quarter. Announcement • May 01

Piedmont Lithium's Tennessee Project Receives Final Permit Required to Advance to Construction Piedmont Lithium announced that the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation issued a Conditional Major Non-Title V Construction and Air Permit (“Air Permit”) for the Company’s proposed Tennessee Lithium project in McMinn County, Tennessee. With receipt of the Air Permit for the planned 30,000 metric ton per year (“tpy”) lithium hydroxide manufacturing plant, Piedmont Lithium now holds all the material permits required to begin construction at Tennessee Lithium. The Air Permit issuance marks an important step in developing the approximately $800 million project, which will help significantly bolster the current U.S. lithium hydroxide production capacity of approximately 17,000 tpy. Piedmont Lithium previously announced robust project economics for Tennessee Lithium in a definitive feasibility study (“DFS”) released in April of this year. With a project net present value of $2.5 billion and internal rate of return of 32%, the DFS underscored the positive impact of America’s clean energy policies and the value of the Company’s hard-rock production strategy. In October 2022, Tennessee Lithium was selected by the United States Department of Energy to receive a $141.7 million grant to support the construction of the project. The funding process related to the grant continues to progress as Piedmont Lithium and its advisors commence discussions with potential strategic partners for the balance of funding required for the project. Piedmont Lithium’s intent is to secure necessary funding from partners or lenders. Plans to lease and renovate local office space are developing with the goal of supporting the revitalization efforts of downtown Etowah, Tennessee. Workforce development activities have also begun with local technical schools to develop key training programs and curricula for certain positions. Piedmont Lithium plans to hire 120 employees when Tennessee Lithium is operational. Hiring is expected to begin in second half 2023 and continue through 2026 to support construction and prepare for commercial production. Announcement • Jun 23
