Disclaimers General Statement and Cautionary Statement This presentation has been prepared by Lake Resources N.L. (Lake) for information purposes and not any particular party. The information in this presentation is based upon public information and internally developed data and reflects prevailing conditions and views as of this date, all of which are accordingly subject to change. The information contained in this presentation is of general nature and is not intended to address the circumstances of any particular individual or entity. There is no guarantee that the information is accurate as of the date it is received or that it will continue to be accurate in the future. No warranties or representations can be made as to the origin, validity, accuracy, completeness, currency or reliability of the information. No one should act upon such information without appropriate professional advice after a thorough examination of the particular situation. Lake Resources NL accepts no responsibility or liability to any party in connection with this information or views and Lake disclaims and excludes all liability (to the extent permitted by law) for losses, claims, damages, demands, costs and expenses of whatever nature arising in any way out of or in connection with the information, its accuracy, completeness or by reason of reliance by any person on any of it. The information regarding projects described in this presentation are based on exploration targets, apart from the Kachi project’s resource statement. The potential quantity and grade of an exploration target is conceptual in nature, with insufficient exploration to determine a mineral resource and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of mineral resources or that potentially economic quantities of lithium will be discovered. Forward Looking Statements Certain statements contained in this presentation, including information as to the future financial performance of the projects, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Lake Resources N.L. are inherently subject to significant technical, business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies; involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results, expressed or implied, reflected in such forward-looking statements; and may include, among other things, statements regarding targets, estimates and assumptions in respect of production and prices, operating costs and results, capital expenditures, reserves and resources and anticipated flow rates, and are or may be based on assumptions and estimates related to future technical, economic, market, political, social and other conditions and affected by the risk of further changes in government regulations, policies or legislation and that further funding may be required, but unavailable, for the ongoing development of Lake’s projects. Lake Resources N.L. disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “indicate”, “contemplate”, “target”, “plan”, “intends”, “continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this announcement are qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. Lake does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. Compliance Statement The information contained in this presentation relating to financial forecasts, production targets, exploration targets, exploration results, Measured, Indicated and Inferred resource estimates, project execution, infrastructure and testing work, has been derived from the information in Lake’s Kachi Project Phase One Definitive Feasibility Update Study Results (“DFS Addendum”) and Lake’s Updated Ore Reserve Statement (“Ore Reserve Update”) both announced on ASX on 4 August 2025 and mineral resource update announced on ASX on 3 June 2025. Lake confirms that it is not aware of any information that materially affects the information included in the DFS Addendum or the Ore Reserve Update both announced on ASX on 4 August 2025 and mineral resource update announced on ASX on 3 June 2025 and all material assumptions contained in those announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed, including all material assumptions underpinning the production targets or forecast information derived from production target, and all technical parameters underpinning the estimates of mineral resource and ore reserves. On this basis, Lake confirms that the findings of Mr. Andrew Fulton, the Competent Person, in the DFS Addendum and the Ore Reserve Update both announced on ASX on 4 August 2025 and, in respect of Lake’s mineral resource, in the mineral resource update announced on 3 June 2025, have not changed nor been modified in any material respects since those announcements.
