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 Metallium 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 Industry’s Technology Problem
Legacy Metal Processing Tech is
Costly and Unsustainable
✓ Traditional methods: High-energy smelting (1,000°C+) or kiln-based
heating over long time periods, low yields.
PYROMETALLURGY
Energy intensive, fossil-fuel powered
✓ Environmental cost: Legacy processes emit large volumes of CO₂ and
typically generate hazardous waste.
HYDROMETALLURGY
Chemical intensive, embedded emissions
✓ Economic cost: Predominantly acid-based / chemical heavy with
significant energy and management costs.
SUB-ECONOMIC OR DO NOT WORK
Legacy techniques unsuitable for certain ores and wastes
✓ Legacy technology: Many industry-standard equipment (e.g.
centuries-old rotary kilns) remain inefficient, underscoring a lack of
innovation in the sector.
The industry is ripe for a cleaner, more efficient solution …

ULTRAFAST HEATING + PROPRIETARY CHEMISTRY
Ultrafast Heating
We apply a short burst of electric energy to crushed ore or waste. The feed
heats in very short timeframes.
Proprietary Chemistry
Reactive chemistry helps vaporise target metals as chlorides. Metals are
released as vapours and condensed into saleable metal chlorides.
→ No acid leaching → No multi-stage smelting → No harmful tailings.
What It Enables
FJH can unlock value from difficult materials like lithium concentrates, rare earth
concentrates and intermediates, red mud tailings, and e-waste - faster and more
economically than traditional methods.
Designed for rapid deployment and modular scalability - enabling fast setup
across distributed sites, with minimal permitting and infrastructure requirements.
Net result: Single-step, low-carbon process to extract metals faster, with higher
efficiency and lower reagent use than incumbent technologies.
Positioned to industrialise FJH - a disruptive new pathway for critical and precious metals recovery
7
Commercial Readiness
Texas Technology Campus
Metallium’s U.S. Technology Campus will house our first commercial plant
and serve as a hub for ongoing R&D and future expansion.
Prime Location in Houston Industrial Corridor
Strategic location offers direct access to Interstate 10, the
Houston Ship Channel (major port), and is within a 40-minute drive
of central Houston, ensuring efficient logistics and access to
suppliers/customers.

U.S. Department of Energy – 2025
Draft Critical Materials Assessment
Critical Metals
• REEs, Sb, Ga, Ge, In: DOE-designated critical.
• Used in semiconductors, AI, clean energy,
defence etc
• All are 90–100% import-reliant in the U.S.
Aligned with U.S. Policy and Funding Mandates
• Supports onshoring & de-risking of critical
metal supply.
• Potential for DoE / DoW funding, offtake, and
strategic procurement.

Critical Risk to National Security, Economic Competitiveness, and Manufacturing Independence
CHINA'S CONTROL: REE DOMINANCE
✓ 70% of mined REEs
✓ ~100% of NdFeB magnet production
✓ China imposes export curbs on REE magnets and alloys;
shipments halved in May.
✓ >90% of REE refining capacity
✓ Ford (Chicago), Suzuki, and European auto suppliers halt
production due to shortages.
U.S. DEFENCE IMPACT:
✓ Export licenses issued selectively — demonstrating
geopolitical leverage over supply.
✓ REEs used ubiquitously in Military tech
✓ 2022: Pentagon halted F-35 deliveries after finding a Chinesemade magnet in a critical part
BOTTOM LINE:
✓ Production resumed only after a national security waiver →
exposing U.S. weapons programs.
The U.S. is one geopolitical decision away from a critical
metals supply shutdown.
NO U.S. / WESTERN DOMESTIC SAFETY NET:
✓ No U.S. capacity for heavy REE refining
✓ Only one Western NdFeB magnet producer
✓ Heavy reliance on Chinese downstream processing
13
CURRENT CRISIS — 2025:
Decoupling from China: Building the Future of REE Processing in the U.S.
Binding Agreement with Ucore Rare Metals
(TSXV: UCU) - Sep 2025
✓ Strategic Synergy – Integration of FJH with Ucore’s
RapidSX , enabling diverse REE feedstocks to be processed
into separated oxides in U.S. (vs. China)
✓ Natural Flowsheet Fit – FJH upgrades feedstocks into clean
chlorides, directly compatible with RapidSX , cutting steps,
costs, & expanding acceptable inputs (incl. magnet scrap,
tailings)
✓ Strategic Growth – Provides entry into U.S. magnet recycling,
heavy REEs (Dy, Tb), and joint pursuit of DoW/DoE funding
✓ Outcome – Establishes a sovereign U.S. pathway to separated
REE oxides, breaking dependence on China
