World-Class Resource Footprint
NeoLithica controls 269,844 hectares of contiguous mineral tenure at its the flagship Peace River Project in Alberta, Canada. Backed by an NI 43-101 Technical Resource Report, the Project hosts a 10-million-tonne inferred Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) resource within the Leduc Formation aquifer — representing over 100 years of production capability — with exploration upside identified in the overlying Wabamun Formation. Despite this Tier-1 scale, NeoLithica's implied resource valuation presents a valuation gap with its peers the Company views as a compelling opportunity for investors.

"Hub & Spoke" Operational Architecture
Rather than a Centralized Processing Complex requiring massive upfront capital, NeoLithica is deploying a modular "Hub & Spoke" model: up to 20 Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) plants ("Spokes") of approximately 2,000 tonnes-per-annum each, feeding a central refining "Hub," reaching a targeted 40,000 tpa of LCE over a six-year rollout. This staged approach targets initial cash flow in Year 1 rather than Year 3, with early operating modules helping fund subsequent expansion. Processing brine locally at each Spoke, with only concentrated eluate transported to the Hub, also reduces the need for extensive pipeline infrastructure.

Infrastructure-Grade Economics
On a conservative, 100% equity-funded basis, NeoLithica's internal modelling projects a significant after-tax Net Present Value and an strong unlevered Internal Rate of Return suggesting that the Peace River Project exceeds typical infrastructure hurdle rates without relying on leverage. Using an estimated Year 1 lithium price of $22,625/tonne escalating 1.5% annually, reaching a forecasted $24,374/tonne at full capacity in Year 6, the Project is designed so operating costs escalate at the same rate as revenue, structurally preserving margins.

Rapid Capital Recovery & Superior Cash-Flow Yield
Total estimated development capital over the six-year build suggests capital payback may be achieved within approximately three years for each 20,000-tonne increment of production capacity brought online, leaving the large majority of the Project's minimum 25-year operating life as pure post-payout cash generation. In later years of operation, the Project is modelled to generate pre-royalty free cash flow at a significant yield on invested capital — supporting strong debt capacity, dividend potential, and exit flexibility.

Brownfield Staging, Regulatory Acceleration & Fiscal Alignment
NeoLithica's secondary asset, the Redwater Lithium Project, is an active oilfield pool already processing and disposing of thousands of barrels of lithium-bearing brine daily through existing infrastructure — an ideal, low-capital environment for pre-commercial DLE testing. The Redwater demonstration pilot site is already approved by the Alberta Energy Regulator and sits roughly 45 minutes from Edmonton. Scaled demonstration pilots planned for 2027 are designed to establish key performance indicators and produce battery-grade LCE samples to support offtake discussions with automotive and battery manufacturers. Financial downside is further mitigated by an investor-friendly fiscal framework: a tiered gross royalty of just 1% prior to capital payout, stepping up to 12% only afterward, alongside a blended 23% federal/provincial corporate tax rate — a structure designed to protect investor capital during the highest-risk development years.
