China) has feedstock but lacks processing capacity. • Western industries are dangerously dependent on China in critical materials due to Chinese dominance in midstream processing. • The Atomic Energy Act, the Nuclear Non - Proliferation Act, and the Non - Proliferation Treaty restrict the United States and its allies from processing radioactive by - products of critical materials. • Very difficult for US and other non - Chinese countries to process low - grade radioactive ore at commercial scale. • As the only large - scale commercial processor, China controls capacity expansion and feedstock pricing . • Due to the reasons stated above, China dominates oxides, metals, critical materials, carbonates, sulfates, pCAM and magnets production ; however, China’s ultimate objective is to dominate downstream sale of finished goods, including but not limited to EV automobiles, wind turbines, defense goods, and other products requiring critical materials .

 

 

5 Without a commercial solution to disrupt China’s dominance in midstream processing, virtually all US industries will continue to be dangerously dependent on China for critical materials processing and finished products from these critical materials. US Champion in Critical Materials Supply Chain, No Reliance on China Rare Earths and Technology Metals Recycling, Magnet and Battery Materials Production: a China Disruptor 1 • In the REE magnet industry, China has historically maintained almost a complete monopoly on the refining (mid - stream) space for REE magnet production . • Through strategic planning, price control and manipulation, hard subsidies, soft subsidies, and other structural controls over the REE magnet and critical materials industries, China plans to maintain and increase its monopoly over the REE magnet and critical materials industries for decades going forward . • For more details on how China has gained a monopoly over the REE magnet industry and EM&T’s solution to disrupt China’s monopoly, please see slide 8 . • EM&T aims to disrupt China’s monopoly on the REE magnet and critical materials industry and build a US Champion through a unique and difficult to replicate business model that has been planned and developed for over ten years . 1 Sourced from International Energy Agency report “Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2024” https://www.iea.org/reports/global - critical - minerals - outlook - 2024 1 tons of REE

9 • EM&T aims to reduce US dependence on China and become the US domestic magnet & battery materials marketplace champion. • By focusing on end - of - life materials through urban mining above ground, EM&T avoids the challenge of separating radioactive elements and processes feedstock with significantly higher grades, thereby reducing waste. China's historical willingness to manage radioactive waste has been a key barrier to entry for rare earth ore processing, making EM&T’s approach a game - changer in bypassing this hurdle entirely. • China has approximately 1.4bn population. US has approximately 340mm population. • US annual e - waste per capita: 21.3kg, roughly 3x China annual e - waste per capita of 8.5kg. 1 • E - waste encompasses every device driven by an electric current. This broad definition spans the industrial spectrum, absorbing household appliances, cell phones, and hard drives alongside critical hardware from the automotive, aerospace, defense, healthcare, and renewable - energy sectors. Regardless of their origin, these goods share a unifying component: magnets. • End - of - life materials contain no radioactive elements and can be extracted and resupplied into the supply chain with minimal waste. • EM&T is not a mining company. Rare earths are not rare, they are abundant globally. • EM&T is a magnet and battery component manufacturing company.

15 • EM&T is contracting for proprietary access to attractive and abundant feedstocks, focusing on end - of - life materials to: • Recycle lithium - ion batteries to produce battery grade materials for OEM gigafactories. • Recycle e - waste including US Government (“USG”) e - waste to produce oxides, metals, alloy powder and flakes, and sintered and bonded magnets for industries including, but not limited to, renewable energy, automotive, aerospace, defense, healthcare, high tech, electronics and others. • Global Leader in Lithium - ion Battery Recycling: base metals historically have had a very high recycling rate: 50% of the world’s aluminum supply comes from recycling; copper is 100% recyclable, and nearly all copper ever mined is still in circulation due to near 100% recycling rate. 1 EM&T intends to bring that recycling operational expertise to the lithium - ion battery space, which has high growth outlook as the world transitions to sustainable energy storage solutions needed to expand the renewable energy industry. • USG e - Scrap Recycling Solution: historic sole solution to recycle USG e - waste is to incinerate, which is unreliable, environmentally harmful, with small capacity. Not all the incinerators are secured facilities, which means that classified e - waste cannot be stored on site for those unsecured facilities. Yet these facilities generate a dust byproduct that cannot be sold to US and Western countries because they do not have the midstream capacity to process the dust. The incinerators are limited to selling to a single buyer: China, because the US and Western Countries have no midstream capacity to process the dust. • EM&T is on track to offer the USG a highly reliable recycling solution with large commercial capacity, utilizing pulverization instead of incineration . This process enables the recovery of precious metals from components like printed circuit boards, produces NdPr oxides for magnet manufacturing, and is significantly more environmentally friendly . • EM&T plans to build a secured facility, allowing on - site storage of classified materials, enabling acceptance of all USG shipments, even unscheduled, without disrupting plant operations. The ability to handle all classified shipments promptly, even unscheduled ones, is critical for maintaining a strong, trusted relationship with the USG, positioning EM&T as a reliable partner, and maximizing the capacity utilization of the plant. • Having a secured facility maximizes capacity utilization and maximizes EBITDA, as EBITDA is highly sensitive to capacity utilization due to high fixed costs and overheads being constant. • USG, including all branches of the US military, multiple intelligence agencies and investigative agencies, and all of their suppliers turn over electronics every 3 - 5 years. Millions of pounds of USG e - waste are being stored expensively due to no recycling solution in the past. 2 1 https://www.visualcapitalist.com/sp/visualizing - all - the - known - copper - in - the - world 2 https://www.matrix - ndi.com/resources/maximizing - efficiency - the - three - to - five - year - it - infrastructure - refresh - cycle/ US Champion in Critical Materials Supply Chain, No Reliance on China Rare Earths and Technology Metals Recycling, Magnet and Battery Materials Production: a China Disruptor 5 EM&T’s Business Model Re - Introduces Battery Materials and USG E - Scrap, including Magnet Materials and Precious Metals, Back into the US Domestic Market.

18 Using Proprietary and Licensed Technologies, EM&T Plans to Build A Modular, Large - Commercial - Scale Hydrometallurgical Facility in the US. Hydrometallurgy: “The Missing Piece” in USA that is Critical to China’s 7 • Hydrometallurgy is necessary for producing Western industrial products. • China has approximately 95% of hydrometallurgy capacity globally. • There are no planned large commercial scale hydrometallurgical plants outside China due to: • feedstock supply constraints; processing new materials requires handling radioactive waste and often involves foreign - origin feedstock, both of which are heavily restricted by environmental, nuclear, and import regulations outside China, limiting the availability of scalable feedstock; • large capital expenditure project greater than $1bn; • cost and availability of energy; • environmental permits. Large - Commercial - Scale Hydrometallurgical Plant • EM&T is planning to build a hydrometallurgical plant in the US using feedstock from end - of - life materials from the USG and commercial market. • Frank Moon (EM&T’s CEO) and his personnel of 42 deeply experienced engineers including 11 PhDs, have built and operated commercial scale hydrometallurgical plants for POSCO and Hyundai. • Frank Moon and his personnel previously operated the Vietnam Rare Earth JSC (“VTRE”) plant in Vietnam. 1 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/chinas - rare - earth - tech - obsession - ensnares - us - resident - ccp - looks - maintain - stranglehold

 

 

19 EM&T Battery Recycling: Critical Source of Lithium Fluoride for Magnet Making All Other Li - Ion Battery Recyclers Outside China • All commercial scale Li - ion Battery Recyclers (Outside China) produce black mass as a final product.

23 On 4 April 2025, China's MOFCOM announced export controls on NdFeB Magnets and 23 other Critical Materials plus a 34% tariff on US goods (China tariff on US goods currently at 125%) following China’s implementation of significant export controls on Critical Materials in December 2024 2 . China Has Been Planning to Monopolize Critical Materials Since 1980 1 8 History of China’s 45 Year Strategy to Monopolize the Global Critical Materials Industry: 1980: China enters REE market with mining and ore processing; coincides with NRC/IAEA tightening regulations regarding radioactive material. 1985: China establishes world’s largest REE research facility. China enters the Li - ion battery industry by mimicking Japanese technology. 1990: China masters separation of REEs; designs strategy to monopolize downstream production of REE value added products. 1995: China acquires US REE magnet and metal powder technology. BYD is founded in China, focusing initially on batteries for consumer products. 1999: Amperex Technology Limited (now CATL, the largest battery maker in the world) established in China, secures deal with Apple in 2003 to supply iPod batteries. 1995 - 2000: China leverages low labor costs and growing lithium reserves (1 million metric tons by 2018) to attract foreign investment and build a domestic supply chain. 2000 - 2004: China focuses on vertical integration, with “Policies to Develop the Automotive Industry,” in 2004 prioritizing Li - ion battery development for EVs. 2003: BYD acquires Chinese EV automaker, integrating battery production with vehicle manufacturing, a pivotal move for vertical control. 2005: China’s first attempt to acquire a non - Chinese REE mining property. 2008: China hits 97% of global REE production. 2009 - 2019: China invests $100 billion in subsidies/rebates to dominate global lithium refining, using anti - competitive practices like dumping to eliminate competitors. 2010: China achieves monopoly over rare earth value chain; weaponizes REE products to force Japan to capitulate in geo - political dispute in the East China Sea. 2010: Chinese firms control 41% of global cobalt mining (primarily through DRC); acquires stakes in lithium mines in Australia, Chile, and Argentina. 2015: China bankrupts Molycorp and Lynas after “losing” 2014 WTO case by flooding market with Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE). 2016: China shifts strategy to off - shore its resource needs and increase control over downstream production of REE metals and magnets. 2020: China controls 90% of anodes, 85% of electrolytes, and 70% of cathodes for Li - ion batteries, while producing 60% of the world’s graphite. 2009 - 2020: China increases restrictions on critical minerals (lithium and cobalt) by a factor of 9x, using export licenses to control supply and prices as a geopolitical tool. 2022: China outsources 40 percent of REE mining requirements but increases its control over the production of “new” REE metals and magnets. 2023: China bans export of key intellectual property related to rare earth processing and separation, signaling intent to lock in technological dominance. 2024: In retaliation for U.S. semiconductor export controls, China bans exports of gallium and germanium, formally weaponizing critical minerals in trade policy. 2025: China expands rare earth export controls to include medium and heavy REEs (Dy, Tb) and restricts exports of high - performance magnets, completing its transition from supply - chain dominance to active geopolitical leverage. 2026: China imposes a dual - use export ban on Japan, covering goods that include REE materials and magnets, amid Taiwan - related tensions. China’s actions in Jan 2026, Apr 2025, and Dec 2024 are the latest in China’s 45 - year strategy to monopolize the global Critical Materials industry. Further escalation is expected between China vs Rest of World. EM&T is uniquely positioned as the only US - based integrated producer of Critical Materials. 1 Sourced through the following Thorium Energy Alliance report which is publicly available through the following link: < https://thoriumenergyalliance.com/wp - content/uploads/2023/05/ChinaSubsidiesStructuralAdvantages - ReleasedMay2.23.pdf > 2 https://www.mofcom.gov.cn/zwgk/zcfb/art/2025/art_9c2108ccaf754f22a34abab2fedaa944.html
