Nevada North Lithium Project

Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), October 2026

Robust Economics

Our 2026 Pre-Feasibility Study, prepared by Fluor Corporation as lead engineer, outlines the economic case for development based on Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. High grade and a low strip ratio drive the project’s low operating cost. PFS figures are in US$ on a 100% Project basis at US$24,000/t lithium carbonate; capital and operating costs are AACE Class 4 estimates (±25%). There is no certainty the PFS results will be realized.

Location & Infrastructure

An Established Mining Jurisdiction

The Nevada North Lithium Project (NNLP) is located in Elko County, Nevada, approximately 140 km northeast of Elko and 74 km north of Wells. The Project benefits from Nevada’s established permitting framework and an experienced regional mining workforce.

Access and Infrastructure

  • Access: Regional access via the Wells / US-93 / I-80 corridor, with paved highways and maintained county roads.

  • Power: High-voltage transmission lines are located near the Project, with a new grid interconnection contemplated in the PFS.

  • Strategic Footprint: A major joint venture with Evolution Mining has expanded the project to over 21,000 acres in a prolific mineral belt.

  • Talent Pool: Access to a highly skilled, local workforce with generations of mining experience.

Economic & Community Impact

We are committed to the responsible development of the NNLP, prioritizing environmental stewardship and local prosperity.

  • Job Creation: Economic Contribution: Approximately US$11.4 billion in federal and state taxes, property tax and royalties over the life of mine (2026 PFS estimate).

  • Local Opportunity: Expanding growth for regional transportation, maintenance, and supply services.

  • Sustainable Growth: Active community engagement ensures we build safely, responsibly, and for the long term.

Mineral Resource Estimate

High Grade, Higher Confidence

The updated Mineral Resource Estimate, effective May 1, 2026 and prepared by RESPEC, supports the Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve of 218.3 Mt grading 3,928 ppm Li (4.56 Mt LCE) established in the 2026 PFS by Independent Mining Consultants, effective July 28, 2026. Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Growth Potential

The Inferred Resource of 3.11 Mt LCE extends the mineralized footprint beyond the current mine plan, with Measured and Indicated blocks expanded both laterally and at depth. The basin remains open to the south and east.

From Clay to Battery-Grade Lithium

Bench-scale test work has taken Nevada North material through a continuous flowsheet, from run-of-mine ore to a refined battery-grade product, using conventional unit operations.

99.95% Li₂CO₃

Kemetco Research produced crude lithium carbonate assaying 99% Li₂CO₃ from the Project master composite. Chemshift Technologies refined it to a battery-grade product at 99.95% Li₂CO₃.

Over 93% Lithium Extraction

Sulfuric acid leaching of beneficiated material achieved lithium extraction above 93% at 475 kg/t acid addition, rising to approximately 98% at higher acid addition, with leaching complete within one hour at 90°C.

Development Timeline

Path to a Construction Decision

We are transitioning from resource expansion to advanced engineering. The data collected in the 2025 program is the foundation for the Pre-Feasibility Study, completed in October 2026, and the Feasibility Study now being advanced.

Timeline reflects standard agency-review schedule. Pre-FID capital deployed across Stages 1 to 3 supports Pre-Feasibility, Feasibility, and Federal and State permitting (NEPA) activities, culminating in Record of Decision (ROD) and Final Investment Decision (FID).

Resource Upgrade (Completed)

The updated MRE delivered 10.5 Mt LCE in the Measured & Indicated categories at 3,007 ppm Li.

Metallurgy (Completed, September 2026)

Bench-scale test work produced a battery-grade product at 99.95% Li₂CO₃ from Project material, with lithium extraction above 93% in sulfuric acid leaching.

Pre-Feasibility Study (Completed, October 2026)

Led by Fluor Corporation. After-tax NPV8% of US$9.81 billion and after-tax IRR of 23.6%. Next: FEL 3 engineering and a Feasibility Study.

“Together, we have taken Nevada North from a promising claystone deposit to a project supported by a Mineral Reserve, Class 4 engineering and battery-grade lithium carbonate made from our own ore.”

– Greg Reimer, President & CEO, Surge Battery Metals

Why Domestic Lithium Matters
