Proprietary Technology Platforms - TyphoonTM, CGI, & VRB

TyphoonTM

Accurate and powerful proprietary geophysical survey technology based on I-Pulse technology

Successfully used to accelerate the exploration process to lower costs

Potential to discover deposits otherwise thought to be undetectable

Computational

Geosciences Inc. (CGI)

Advanced data analytics, geophysical modeling and artificial intelligence for water, oil and minerals discoveries

Only product that can process the full spectrum of geophysical datasets produced by the TyphoonTM system into 3D images

Proven grid-scale proprietary battery technology

Low-costion-exchange membrane, long-life electrolyte formulation and innovative flow cell design

Proven commercial-scale product with over 500 MWh installed or in development

5

Santa Cruz Copper Project

High-Grade Underground Project on Private Land in Arizona

5,975 acres of private land encompassing the entire project

Acquired land includes associated water rights

Option to acquire all mineral titles contiguous with surface land

Excellent access to nearby rail, interstate highways and electric transmission lines

Santa Cruz Initial Assessment ("IA")

IA focuses on 5.9 Mt / year underground copper mine with small surface footprint

  • IA only incorporates high-grade exotic, oxide and enriched domains contained in Santa Cruz and East Ridge Deposits

Estimated copper production of 1.6 Mt over 20-year mine life ("LOM")

  • ~1.0 Mt pure copper cathode via onsite SX/EW
  • ~0.6 Mt copper in concentrate that is 48% copper by weight

Initial project capital estimated at $1.15 BN, $980 MM in LOM sustaining capital Low estimated capital intensity of ~$14k / tonne annual copper production Estimated LOM C1 cash costs of $1.36/lb Cu

After-tax NPV8% of $1.32 BN and IRR of 23.0% at $3.80/lb Cu

IA contemplates 70% renewable energy, resulting in low estimated Scope 1 and 2 emissions of 0.49 t CO2e/t Cu produced

7

Santa Cruz Verde Domain - High-Grade Oxide Copper

The Verde Domain has higher copper grades and lower water flow rates compared to previous modeling within the Initial Assessment

Provides upside potential to the project economics presented in the IA

8

Each 4.3 km long

Phased Approach Minimizes Initial Capital Requirements

Twin declines to access high- grade copper mineralization

1.9 km extension in Year 8 to access lower portion

LOM 105.2 Mt mineralized material mined at 1.58% copper

Santa Cruz: 88.6 Mt at 1.60% copper

Santa Cruz Exotic: 1.9 Mt at 2.66% copper

4.9 Mt low-grade (0.56% copper) to access mineralization

Standard longhole stoping and drift and fill methods with paste backfill for support
