Fulcrum’s Investment Opportunity
Focused
approach
Fulcrum consistently
delivering on objectives
since IPO with scale,
speed and intent even
throughout lithium
market downturn from
2023-2025.
Strategically
positioned
Nevada is a Tier 1
mining jurisdiction,
strategically
positioned near the
broader US EV and
battery supply chain,
providing strong
access to domestic
demand and
infrastructure.
Geological
endowment
A significant
discovery in the heart
of Nevada’s “Lithium
Belt”. Same basin and
geology as south as
American Lithium
TLC & American
Battery's Tonopah
Flats projects.
Increasing
confidence
Confidence building
in lithium claystones
emerging as a major
new near future
supply stream. E.g.
Progression of
Lithium America’s
Thacker Pass Project
and US govt
government stake.
Lithium
resurgence
Lithium price
rebounding strongly
over the past year
from multi-year lows,
driven by supply
discipline, tightening
inventories, and
renewed EV and
energy storage
demand.
Proven
record
Board and
management
consisting of highly
experienced mining
executives with
proven track records
in discovering and
developing mineral
assets.

Alkali Flats
Discovery
AF Phase 3 Drilling
Barrenjoey Research, 15 May 2026
“We believe demand looks incrementally more
positive - battery production remains strong,
driven by larger EV battery pack sizes and a
robust ESS pipeline, with headline EV sales
figures increasingly less relevant to the lithium
demand story. Additionally, our recent China
trip has left us more constructive on the supply
side, with restarts and project accelerations
unlikely to deliver a material near-term surge,
disruption risk across China and Zimbabwe, and
lower supply elasticity into the next few years.
On balance, we see continued upside to both
lithium pricing and the duration of the
upcycle.”

Alkali Flats Phase 3 Results
Phase 3 Drill program has materially de-risked Alkali Flats discovery
Confirming highly continuous, thick mineralization over large aerial extent
High density and confidence drill data (~600m) in the core of the deposit.
Advanced from early-stage exploration into appraisal, now focusing on resource definition.
Phase 3 full assay results confirming:
34 of 39 holes (87 % success rate) intersected Lithium (Li) mineralisation >300ppm Li
17 holes returned more than 70m of continuous mineralisation >300ppm Li
Heart of the project contains wide zones of Li mineralisation (40-147m @ 450-700ppm) with an
internal higher grade zone 15-25m @ 800-900ppm.
525m of diamond core from five holes for geological, metallurgical and engineering studies
Refer ASX announcements 8 April 2026 and 25 May 2026.

Alkali Flats Phase 2 & 3 dataset
*Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of
principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.

Remaining open in 3 of 4 directions and at depth in the core of the
project.
Grade increasing in SE direction towards shallowest intersections
(<100m deep).
Resource evaluation are now underway for upcoming maiden
Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).
Alkali Flats Phase 3 Results
Refer ASX announcement dated 25 May 2026.

Alkali Flats Metallurgy – Flexibility and lowest cost pathways
Positive early results:
Flexibility of extraction pathways: Sulfuric acid leach, roast calcination + water leach
High extraction results: >90% extraction from multiple pathways
Fast extraction times: 57%-66% extraction from 1 hour ambient water leach post calcination roasting
Successful ambient and low temperature testing: both acid and water leach
Successful initial test of low-cost heap leaching process pathway.
Encouraging early beneficiation results:
26%-41% mass reduction
41%-54% carbonate reduction (major acid consumer)
Up to 27% grade increase
Strong platform for our large Phase 3 sample and core database to further drive
towards the lowest-cost processing outcomes

High quality geophysical data
Advance the successful metallurgical results and understanding:
large 34 RC hole and 5 corehole database
focus on low-cost process pathways
