Cautionary Statement Regarding Exploration & Development, Values & Forward-Looking Information
The tenements comprising the Company’s projects (“Projects”) are at various stages of exploration and development and potential
investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that
exploration and development of the Projects, or any other tenements that MTM Critical Metals may acquire in the future, will result in
the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be
economically exploited. Specifically, investors are cautioned that the Projects have no reported mineral resources or ore reserves and
that the proximity of the Projects to any deposit and any geological similarities with that deposit are no guarantee that the Project
will be prospective for an economic reserve.
It is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of exploration results in Australia comply with the Joint Ore Reserves
Committee’s Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC Code”). Investors outside Australia
should note that while exploration results pertaining to the Projects comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with the
relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with National Instrument 43 101 (Standards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “Canadian NI 43 101 Standards”).
The figures, valuations, forecasts, estimates, opinions and projections contained herein involve elements of subjective judgment and
analysis and assumption. MTM Critical Metals does not accept any liability in relation to any such matters, or to inform the Recipient
of any matter arising or coming to the company’s notice after the date of this document which may affect any matter referred to
herein. Any opinions expressed in this material are subject to change without notice, including as a result of using different
assumptions and criteria. This document may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not
always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, and “intend” and statements than an
event or result “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, or “might” occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking
information is subject to business, legal and economic risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, risks relating to
property interests, the global economic climate, commodity prices, sovereign and legal risks, and environmental risks. Forwardlooking statements are based upon estimates and opinions at the date the statements are made. To the maximum extent permitted by
law, MTM Critical Metals undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements for events or circumstances that
occur subsequent to such dates or to update or keep current any of the information contained herein. The Recipient should not place
undue reliance upon forward-looking statements. Any estimates or projections as to events that may occur in the future (including
projections of revenue, expense, net income and performance) are based upon the best judgment of MTM Critical Metals from
information available as of the date of this document. There is no guarantee that any of these estimates or projections will be
achieved. Actual results will vary from the projections and such variations may be material. Nothing contained herein is, or shall be
relied upon as, a promise or representation as to the past or future. MTM Critical Metals, its affiliates, directors, employees and/or
agents expressly disclaim any and all liability relating or resulting from the use of all or any part of this document or any of the
information contained herein.

MTM HAS ACQUIRED 100%
OF FLASH METALS PTY LTD
WEST ARUNTA
PROJECT
FLASH JOULE
HEATING
MUKINBUDIN
PROJECT
MTM recently acquired 100% of Flash Metals Pty
Ltd1, owner of three exploration licences in
Western Australia’s West Arunta region,
immediately adjacent to ground held by WA1
Resources (ASX:WA1) and Encounter Resources
(ASX:ENR).
A complimentary processing and recycling
technology being developed to extract critical
metals like REE, nickel, cobalt and lithium from
natural mineralisation and from waste material.
Located in an emerging exploration hotspot
where REE mineralisation has been locally
reported by Codrus Minerals (ASX:CDR) and
Caprice Resources (ASX:CRS).

WEST ARUNTA
NIOBIUM-REE PROJECT
Western Australia, Australia
140km2
Next door to recent niobium-REE
carbonatite discoveries by WA1
and Encounter.
Located immediately adjacent to tenements held by WA1 Resources
Ltd (ASX:WA1) near the Luni Carbonatite Discovery and the P2
Carbonatite Discovery; and Encounter Resources Ltd (ASX:ENR)
where niobium-REE mineralised carbonatites have recently been
discovered.
New acreage acquired from Flash Metals comprises three exploration
tenements totalling 140km2.
The West Arunta region has emerged as one of Australia’s exploration
hotspots with over $60m collectively invested in the district by a
number of ASX companies including Rio Tinto (JV with Tali Resources)
(ASX:RIO), CGN Resources (ASX:CGR), and IGO Limited (ASX:IGO).

FLASH JOULE HEATING
TECHNOLOGY
Emerging processing and
recycling technology shown to
extract critical metals like REE,
nickel, cobalt and lithium from
natural mineralisation and from
waste material.
Application for treating rare earth mineralisation could unlock immense
value from otherwise economically marginal deposits.
Exciting recycling application, that has demonstrated the potential to
more efficiently recover critical metals including REE, precious metals
and battery minerals through the recycling of lithium-ion batteries, ewaste, coal fly ash and bauxite residue.
Negotiation of worldwide, exclusive Licence Agreement in progress.1
Developed by Rice University in Houston, USA which has had previous ASX
successes including Weebit-Nano Ltd (ASX:WBT); and Universal Matter Inc.

WHY PRODUCE CRITICAL MINERALS
SUCH AS REE AND Li FROM BATTERIES,
eWASTE AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE?
Local Supply:
Environmental Solution:
Abundant Resource:
Secure Supply:
Abundant waste sources
in key end user markets
near infrastructure
Utilities and government
will pay to clean up toxic
waste
The opportunity to build
a massive inventory of
critical minerals
Supply chain certainty
and security free of
geopolitical risks
Rapid Scale:
Exploration:
Sustainable Sourcing:
Upside Process potential:
Scale production quickly
and cheaply with low
capex and opex
No exploration or mining
risk and cost
Sustainable supply chain
with no waste water
issues
Potential to produce REE
oxides, metals and alloys
on site

LAB-SCALE PROCESS
IS SCALABLE
Lab scale-up has
demonstrated 1 kg per day.
Universal Matter Inc is producing
graphene using the same FJH
technology from Rice University and
has already scaled to more than 1
tonne per day and is moving towards
3 tonnes per day.
