Slide 03

Macro Opportunity

The global advanced materials market is entering a period of sustained structural growth. Electrification, energy storage deployment, and supply chain reshoring are accelerating demand across every major consuming region.

Demand Growth Drivers

  • Accelerating EV adoption globally — projected penetration reaching 40%+ of new vehicle sales by 2030
  • Grid-scale BESS expanding at >35% CAGR through 2035
  • Government mandates across U.S., Canada, and EU requiring domestic critical minerals sourcing
  • Defense and aerospace sectors increasing strategic reserve requirements

Supply-Side Constraints

  • Long development lead times — average 7 to 12 years from discovery to production
  • Significant capital intensity creating barriers to new supply
  • Geopolitical concentration of existing production in high-risk jurisdictions
  • Permitting complexity and ESG scrutiny slowing conventional timelines

North American demand is forecast to outpace supply by a widening margin through 2040, creating a structural need for domestically sourced, responsibly produced advanced materials.
Slide 04

Market Context

North America is heavily dependent on imported critical materials from geopolitically concentrated sources. This dependency creates systemic vulnerability across EV, energy storage, defense, and advanced manufacturing supply chains.

Supply Chain Vulnerability

  • Over 80% of global production is concentrated in three countries, creating supply chain fragility
  • No significant domestic production currently exists in North America at commercial scale
  • Lead times for new projects exceed 7 years on average, lagging far behind accelerating demand
  • Conventional extraction methods are capital-intensive, environmentally disruptive, and slow to deploy

Industry Impact

  • Automotive OEMs face raw material bottleneck risk for battery gigafactory commitments
  • Government reshoring mandates (IRA, CMIF, EU CRMA) cannot be met without new domestic supply
  • Strategic industries remain exposed to single-source failure modes
  • Price volatility persists due to concentrated supply and opaque market structures
The market needs new, reliable, North American sources of critical materials — and it needs them now.
Slide 05

Proprietary Processing Technology

Boet has developed and validated a proprietary advanced extraction process that delivers significant advantages over conventional methods — combining in-house technical innovation with proven third-party components for a low-risk, high-performance commercial solution.

Endnotes & Additional Reports

Use of Mineral Resources

The mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates contained in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ (the “CSA”) National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The SEC’s disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties now more closely align with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101; however Canadian issuers that report in the United States using the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (“MJDS”), such as the Company, may still use NI 43-101 rather than the SEC disclosure requirements when using the SEC’s MJDS registration statement and annual report forms. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained in this presentation may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.

Investors are cautioned that while the SEC recognizes “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” or “inferred mineral resources” that the Company reports in this presentation are or will be economically or legally mineable.

Further, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any part or all of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian regulations, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in limited circumstances. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is or will ever be economically or legally mineable.

The mineral reserve and mineral resource data set out in this presentation are estimates, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized. The Company does not include equivalent gold ounces for by-product metals contained in mineral reserves in its calculation of contained ounces. Mineral reserves are not reported as a subset of mineral resources.
