China dominates the critical minerals value chain. Brazil is uniquely positioned to diversify global supply, with the world's second-largest REE reserve base but
less than 1% of current mine production, creating the strategic opportunity that Axel is targeting.

3. THE AXEL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
LARGE RESOURCE LOCATED IN STABLE MINING JURISDICTION
Brazil has the resource scale and the world has the supply-chain risk. Axel’s opportunity is to convert Brazil’s underdeveloped REE endowment into a
lower-impact, scalable ISR supply option for magnet rare earths.
• World Class Endowment: Brazil hosts one of the world's largest rare earth
resource bases, providing long-term development potential
• It is poised to become a key supplier as governments seek to diversify
critical mineral supply beyond China
• Home to globally significant ionic adsorption clay (IAC) rare earth systems
suited to low-impact extraction technologies
• Established mining jurisdiction with expanding infrastructure, skilled
workforce and supportive critical minerals investment
• Flagship Caladão REE + Gallium situated in the Minas Gerais region

Caladão Project, MRE Areas and Key Deposits Current Mineral Resource Estimate: Caladão REE + Ga
3.1 THE AXEL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: LARGE IONIC CLAY RESOURCE
▪ 572Mt @ 1,502ppm TREO and 439Mt @ 38ppm Ga
▪ Resource drilling upgrade to indicated in progress
▪ Woolrich Deposit selected as the inaugural ISR development target area
▪ Additional target areas provide further growth upside
▪ Up to 39% soluble MREO/TREO from column testing at Woolrich
• Axel hosts Brazil’s only known defined primary gallium resource & one of the largest
known discrete resources globally. Caladão gallium resource: 439Mt at 38ppm Ga
• Gallium is recognised as both a critical and strategic mineral by multiple major
jurisdictions (Australia, EU, USA and Japan) due to its importance in semiconductors,
defense and advanced technologies.
• Gallium is essential for advanced semiconductors, AI, telecommunications and defense
technologies.
• A gallium resource could provide strategic exposure to one of the fastest-growing
technology supply chains. 98% of global supply controlled by China → export bans in
2024.
• Axel REE is positioning gallium as a future upside and a separate development pathway
alongside the core REE in-situ recovery pathway
1. Source: International Energy Agency (2025). Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025. Paris: International Energy Agency
Caladão’s ISR concept positions Axel as one of the few companies globally with a large, in-situ gallium resource not dependent on bauxite refineries, and a
potential future supplier of gallium and magnet rare earths into de-risking Western supply chains
Key Strategic Optionality
Global Gallium Market Outlook
3.2 THE AXEL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: GALLIUM UPSIDE
• Rare earths are recovered directly from ionic clays without
conventional mining or crushing
• MgSO4 (environmentally friendly) reagent is circulated through
modular wellfields before recovery at surface
• Pregnant liquor Solution is then precipitated and impurities
removed and processed into mixed rare earth carbonate
(MREC)
Key Advantages:
• No open pit mining required
• Low capital intensity development
• Low operating cost structure
• Low environmental impact with a small surface footprint
• Modular wellfield expansion enabling scalable growth

3.3 THE AXEL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT,
MODULAR, LOW-COST, LOW CAPITAL, IN-SITU RECOVERY
Ionic Clays Amenable to ISR
Why ISR (In-Situ Recovery)?
Rare earths are recovered directly from ionic clays without conventional mining or crushing
3.4. THE AXEL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:

outcomes indicated in this conceptual flowsheet.

Being on the first quartile of the cost curve is a source of competitive advantage. A favourable position on the Ionic Clays industry cost curve gives
differentiating attributes
▪ The Net Cash Cost Curve is an indication of operating
efficiency & the ability to sweat assets for which the
capital was invested in prior years
▪ Key drivers are cash operating costs and volume
production
▪ Both parameters within management control
SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR FUTURE PROJECTS:
• When prices are high, being lower down the cost curve
gives an operation access to higher margins than the
rest of the industry
• When prices are low, there is a lower likelihood of being
squeezed out of margins, thereby threatening
sustainability
• Higher margins are a source of cash flow which when
retained, provide a source of funds for projects required
to feed future demand

3.6 THE AXEL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: DEVELOPING REE RESPONSIBLY
In-Situ Recovery strategy is designed to align technical innovation with responsible resource development. Responsible mining is becoming a
competitive advantage, not simply a licence to operate
Current Positioning
▪ The Company is at a pivotal technical validation stage — with column test results supporting the next phase of REE field trials.
▪ Column testing producing strong REE results to date
▪ Axel REE is pre-scoping study but rapidly de-risking. The Company is following a similar technical validation pathway to ASX:BCM (pre-development stage)
▪ Each completed milestone builds the technical evidence base required to advance toward trial mining and future economic studies

4. OUR ISR DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND ROADMAP
The Company is at a pivotal technical validation stage — with column test results supporting the next phase of REE field trials
COMPLETED COMPLETED IN PROGRESS SELECTED IN PROGRESS ADVANCING NEXT MILESTONE
ISR Field Trial Area Field Trial Pathway Scoping Study
▪ ISR proof-of-concept confirmed
▪ Strong soluble TREO result: CLT-01 recovered 560 ppm soluble

▪ Magnet-rich rare earth basket: 39% MREO, including Dy and Tb
▪ Clear next step: Field-scale ISR validation
▪ Exceptionally low impurity levels may reduce downstream
processing complexity, lower environmental risk and strengthen
the project's potential ISR development pathway.
Axel has moved from diagnostic leach evidence to column-based ISR validation, strengthening the technical foundation for a scalable, low-acid rare
earth development pathway in Brazil, with exceptionally low impurity levels.
Woolrich Column Testing Results Significance
4.1 OUR ISR DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY: COLUMN TESTING
▪ Results support the next stage of technical validation and will inform:
▪ Field trial design parameters
▪ Reagent selection and optimisation
▪ Recovery assumptions for future studies
▪ Economic study inputs (Scoping)
Low Impurity Levels – Key Milestone
Al <2.0 Low Al reduces reagent consumption and simplifies
downstream impurity removal.
Fe <0.5 Low Fe minimises contamination of the pregnant leach solution
and downstream processing complexity
Th <5.5 Low radioactive element content supports permitting, waste
management and ESG performance
U <4.0 Low uranium reduces environmental, regulatory and processing
risks.
• Field Trials to commence at first targeted wellfield in Woolrich
deposit
• Up to 560 ppm soluble TREO via ISR column leach testing,
comparable to operating ISR mines
• Magnet-rich REE assemblage (~39% MREO including NdPr
and DyTb)
• Metallurgical results validate the ISR development concept at
Caladão
• Demonstrates potential for scalable ISR wellfield development

Woolrich Deposit – First Wellfield Field Trial to Commence
4.2 OUR ISR DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Woolrich First Field Trial & Growth Strategy
First Field Trial at Woolrich
• Woolrich selected as anchor asset:
• 2,000 Ha mineralised footprint with 12 potential wellfields identified
• First wellfield selected for ISR field recovery trial
Modular Growth via "Hub & Spoke"
• Proposed satellite wellfields connect to centralised processing,
driving down unit CAPEX
• Paraíso and Tiger Creek provide significant expansion inventory
• Additional hubs can be deployed, scaling total production
