STRATEGIC GROWTH AND DIVERSIFICATION IN GOLD AND CRITICAL MINERALS THROUGH ACQUISITION OF
LOTUS MINERALS
Near Term Drilling and News Flow: Results across multiple project areas demonstrate opportunity to
drill targets in the near-term both with gold and copper targets. Significant news flow to be generated
across both commodities
Tier-1 Discovery Potential and IP: Strong historical results, geology, location and deposit style indicate
potential for scale. Acquisition will also bring project specific personnel and IP accelerating works
Diversifies and Strengthens Portfolio: Adds gold and copper exposure to complement Lightning’s
lithium focus, enhancing growth opportunities across high-demand commodities
Macro Tailwinds: Gold remains resilient at near-record prices. Copper is a high demand critical mineral
into the future. Lithium demand continues to surge with global electrification and energy transition
Milestone Based Deal: Deal is based on success and achievement of project related milestones with
strong existing IP to accelerate drilling and exploration strategies
Balanced Growth Strategy: Maintains commitment to lithium in Brazil while seizing a compelling gold
and copper opportunity with near term news flow and proven mineralisation
