[Cologne New Energy High performance Ternary precursor material Xinyi Base Foundation laying ceremony officially held] on the morning of January 8, 2022, Cologne New Energy held the foundation laying ceremony of high performance ternary precursor material Xinyi Base in Xinyi Economic Development District. The first phase of the Cologne new energy high-performance ternary precursor material Xinyi base project plans to build an annual output of 100000 tons of precursor materials for high-performance power batteries, all of which will achieve an annual sales income of about 10 billion yuan.

On the morning of January 8, 2022, Cologne New Energy held the foundation laying ceremony of high-performance ternary precursor material Xinyi base in Xinyi Economic Development District. The groundbreaking ceremony was presided over by Li Sheng, mayor of Xinyi City. Present at the ceremony were Liu Yanlong, secretary general of the China Chemical and physical Power Industry Association, Chen Tangqing, secretary of the Xinyi Municipal CPC Committee, Zheng Wei, deputy secretary of the Xinyi Municipal CPC Committee, Cheng Di, executive deputy general manager, Yin Zhengzhong, and Zhang Haoyi, deputy general manager of Cologne New Energy Co., Ltd., as well as relevant responsible persons of various departments in Xinyi City, upstream and downstream units, financial institutions, and construction representatives.

Cheng Di, general manager of Cologne New Energy, on behalf of all colleagues in the company, extended a warm welcome to all leaders and guests, and expressed the most sincere thanks to Xinyi municipal party committee, municipal government and functional departments at all levels for their dedication.

General Manager Cheng Di first introduced the project. The first phase of the Cologne New Energy High performance Ternary precursor material Xinyi Base Project plans to build an annual output of 100000 tons of precursor materials for high-performance power batteries. After reaching production, the annual sales revenue will be about 10 billion yuan.

General Manager Cheng Di stressed the prosperity of science and technology and the creation of a "new" future. In 2022, Cologne New Energy will continue to seize the opportunity, take advantage of the opportunity, continuously strengthen in-depth cooperation with customers, suppliers, financial institutions, engineering units and other relevant parties through continuous independent innovation, and seek new development. And take today's foundation laying ceremony as a new starting point, under the great attention and correct leadership of the Xinyi municipal party committee and municipal government, and under the strong concern of departments at all levels. With the support and help of all sectors of the community, Cologne New Energy will certainly live up to expectations, pay close attention to the construction schedule, ensure that the project can be completed early, put into production early, and achieve early results, and strive to build a local benchmarking demonstration project and a green and intelligent chemical plant. to make efforts and contributions to Xinyi's new energy industry and economic construction!

Liu Yanlong, secretary general of China Chemical and physical Power Industry Association, expressed warm congratulations on the foundation of Cologne New Energy Xinyi Base on behalf of the industry association. Secretary General Liu Yanlong hopes that Cologne New Energy will further deepen the cooperation with upstream and downstream enterprises, guided by the relevant policies of the national carbon peak and carbon neutralization, in order to improve the energy structure of the automobile industry, promote the development of the new energy vehicle industry, realize the synergy effect of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and give full play to the industry-leading role, form industrial agglomeration in Xinyi and Huaihai Economic Zone, and create a new new energy industry cluster base. Promote the transformation and upgrading of local industries.

Chen Tangqing, secretary of the Xinyi Municipal CPC Committee, said that the new energy industry is ushering in "another spring" in which national strategies converge with their own advantages. The project of Xinyi Base in Cologne, which is under construction today, has a large amount of investment, excellent industrial quality, high scientific and technological content, and good market prospects, and is of great significance to the extension and development of new energy batteries, energy storage, charging piles and other emerging industries. Demonstration drives more industrial chain projects to gather in Xinyi. I wish the groundbreaking ceremony of the project a complete success!

Finally, the distinguished guests on the rostrum moved to lay the foundation for the project, marking a solid step towards the great-leap-forward development of Cologne New Energy.

[SMM News] Solis starts lithium drilling at Campo Grande
Solis Minerals has started diamond drilling at its Campo Grande Lithium Project in Brazil's Araçuaí-Salinas Lithium Valley. The company plans five holes totalling about 1,000 m, with planned depths of up to 200 m, to test lithium pegmatites across a 500 m corridor. The targets rest on coincident multi-element geochemical anomalies at surface and on historical auger drilling results. Historical work by Rio Tinto and later mapping and geochemical work by Solis defined the targets. Solis has also mapped a new pegmatite swarm of three coherent outcrop zones between planned holes DHCG-001 and DHCG-004. The program will test the continuity, geometry and lithium potential of the pegmatites beneath surface, starting where mapped pegmatites coincide with geochemical anomalies. Solis says Campo Grande's geology and geochemistry are comparable to PLS Group's Colina Lithium Project, about 100 km to the southwest. Separately, Solis has completed seven drill holes at its Mandacaru Lithium Project in Brazil, with assay results pending.

[SMM News] Charger re-commences drilling at Medcalf lithium deposit
Charger Metals has mobilized a second drill rig to its Lake Johnston Lithium Project in Western Australia as part of a 10,000 m program targeting resource growth. Diamond and reverse circulation rigs are now operating at the Medcalf lithium deposit, and RC drilling began just over a week ago. The program will double the meters drilled at Medcalf. The drilling targets extensions and infill at the Medcalf inferred mineral resource estimate of 10.6 Mt grading 1% Li₂O. Drilling has further defined the Medcalf West Exploration Target of 3-5 Mt at 1-1.4% Li₂O. The program also aims to provide diamond core for metallurgical and geotechnical test work. Following the recent Medcalf resource upgrade, which raised contained Li₂O by 34%, Charger's board has committed to a Scoping Study on the Lake Johnston Project. The current resource sits on a predominantly 40 m x 80 m drilling grid, including 10,936 m of drilling at a cost of $32 per tone of contained Li₂O. The program is fully funded from Charger's sale of the Bynoe Lithium Project to Core Lithium for $3.75 million cash, received on 17 July 2026. Lake Johnston lies 450 km east of Perth in the Yilgarn Province, about 70 km from the Earl Grey Lithium Project, where Covalent Lithium began mining and commissioning in March 2024.

[SMM News] Savannah raised over $40 million to develop the Portuguese lithium project
On September 23(rd), Savannah Resources raised US$30 million for its Barroso Lithium Project in Portugal, via 408 million shares at £0.055/share, including US$11.2 million from subscription agreements with major shareholders. Combined with US$15.5 million cash on hand, funds go toward long lead item fabrication, access road works, EPCM contracting, plant engineering, permitting, and land use rights. Barroso's July 2026 phase one DFS outlined a 14-year mine life at 183,000 t/y lithium oxide, 5.5% grade, based on US$1,788/t pricing yielding US$3.2 billion EBITDA, US$1.9 billion free cash flow, and US$913 million post-tax NPV. The deposit holds 39 million tones at 1.05% Li2O for 411,900 tones contained, Europe's largest hard-rock spodumene resource. The funding advances one of the few large-scale hard-rock lithium sources under development outside China linked African and South American supply chains, feeding EU critical raw material diversification targets.
