STAGE II: PROVEN TECHNOLOGY SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED AT MOUNTAIN PASS FOR DECADES
CONTINUED EXECUTION BY NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM
Reintroduction of concentrate drying
and roasting to the Mountain Pass
processing facility
• Process already performed
successfully and reliably for decades-
prior ownership obandoned the
practice to target cerium
Stage Il investments are mainly to
recreate this roasting circuit and
reorient the plant process flow to
accommodate the roasted
concentrate
Strong investment in product finishing
circuits enable significantly higher
volumes of high-purity separated
oxides versus prior ownership
Product will be separated into NcPr
oxide, heavy rare earth concentrate
(SEG+) and La carbonate
• Detailed capex study already
concluded, high confidence in
capital needed and potential to
leverage existing infrastructure
