28 JULY 2026 | ASX: E25 6 Review of Project Execution Plan The updated DoE agreement followed an earlier announcement that Element 25 is undertaking a review of its Project Execution Plan for proposed production of HPMSM in the U.S.13 The review is in response to evolving electric vehicle (EV) demands in the US and globally, alongside ongoing assessment of emerging EV battery chemistries and the Company’s near-term focus on delivering the planned expansion of the Butcherbird Manganese Project. Lithium manganese-rich (LMR) and lithium-manganese-iron-phosphate (LMFP) battery chemistries are expected to materially increase global manganese demand, with LMR battery cells using around 50% to 70% manganese, increasing the required manganese by up to 10X compared to high nickel ternary chemistries. Element 25 is working to commercialise innovative proprietary technology to produce battery-grade HPMSM for use in EV battery manufacturing. Its first HPMSM refinery, proposed for Louisiana, USA, would produce raw material for the U.S. EV market. Element 25’s integrated development strategy, linking BBX with its proposed US-based HPMSM processing facility, places the Company in a strong position to capitalise on these emerging market dynamics and support the evolving requirements of global EV manufacturers. Element 25 will provide a further update to the market upon completion of the HPMSM Project Execution Plan review. Integrated Development Strategy driven by BBX A key component of the Company’s strategy is the integration of BBX with the proposed Louisiana HPMSM facility. BBX is designed to increase manganese concentrate production to approximately 1.1Mtpa14 of medium- grade high silica manganese ore support downstream processing into HPMSM, providing a secure, long- term feedstock supply for the planned U.S. facility. This integrated “mine-to-market” strategy positions Element 25 to: • Deliver secure, long-term, supply of manganese from an allied source to the planned Louisiana facility. • Support growing demand from battery manufacturers across multiple industry sectors. • Capitalise on the increasing adoption of manganese-rich battery chemistries. • Strengthen supply chain security for U.S. battery customers. By linking its upstream resource base at Butcherbird with downstream processing in the United States, Element 25 is seeking to establish a globally competitive, vertically integrated battery materials platform. 13 E25 ASX Announcement dated 26 May 2026 14 E25 ASX Announcement dated 22 January 2025
