Chariot Corporation

Quarterly Activities Report – December 2023

Chariot Corporation Limited (“Chariot”, “CC9” or the “Company”) is pleased to present our Activities Report and Appendix 5B for the period ending 31 December 2023. The fourth quarter of 2023 marked the achievement of several landmark milestones for the Company, including completion of the IPO and ASX listing. Chariot is well-positioned for 2024 with adequate liquidity to support exploration activities across its lithium portfolio and to continue to deliver shareholder value.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • IPO and ASX listing successfully completed
  • Maiden drilling campaign at Black Mountain commenced on 10 November 2023 with six (6) diamond drill holes completed totalling 652 meters of Phase 1 Drilling Program with initial assay results imminent
  • IPO corporate structure implemented, resulting in a 91.9% ownership of the flagship Black Mountain project in Wyoming and a 79.4% interest in the Resurgent project in Nevada and Oregon
  • Enhanced balance sheet position with cash at year end of A$7.6 million to fund current exploration plans and related activities

Initial Public Offering

On 5 October 2023, the Company closed a A$9 million Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) at 9:00 am (AWST) on 27 October 2023. The IPO was led by Wilson Corporate Finance Limited and Jett Capital Advisors LLC who acted as Joint Lead Managers.

As of December 31, 2023, Chariot’s cash position was A$7.6 million which remains sufficient to fund the initial drilling program at Black Mountain as well as the Company’s other essential activities.

Implementation of IPO Corporate Structure

In connection with the IPO, the Company completed the implementation of the group’s IPO corporate structure whereby Chariot consolidated its ownership position in its U.S. projects. This implementation enables the Company to exercise greater operational and strategic control over, and benefit from greater economic exposure to, the assets in its portfolio.

The Company now holds, through its subsidiaries, a 91.9% interest in its Wyoming projects (including Black Mountain) and a 79.4% interest in its Resurgent Project.

Black Mountain Project

Phase 1 Drilling Program

The Black Mountain phase 1 drilling program commenced on 10 November 2023 with a plan to drill 2,000 – 3,000 meters of oriented triple tube HQ sized core (“Phase 1 Drilling Program”). Major Drilling Group International, Inc. (“Major Drilling”) is contracted to drill using a Boart Longyear LF90 Surface Diamond Core Drill Rig (the “Drill Rig”).

Despite an atypically harsh winter conditions in late November and December, which included wind speeds of up to 60 km per hour at the Black Mountain summit, Major Drilling and Chariot’s team were able to complete six (6) diamond drill holes totalling 652 meters of HQ diamond drill core (“Drill Core”). The drilling activities were aided by the abatement of the harsh weather conditions experienced before the second half of December 2023.

Chariot restarted drilling on 8 January 2024 and, weather permitting, plans to continue drilling until March 2024.

Initial Assay Results Pending

The first batch of Drill Cores from the Phase 1 Drilling Program were transported to American Assay Labs in Reno, Nevada in December 2023 with assay results expected in late January 2024.

European Metals Receives US$36 Million Grant for Cinovec Lithium-Tin Project

European Metals Holdings (ASX:EMH,LSE:EMH,OTCQX:EMHXY) confirmed the approval of a US$36 million Just Transition Fund (JTF) grant for its Cinovec lithium-tin project on Monday (April 28).

The JTF is run by the European Commission, supporting projects that align with the economic diversification and reconversion of concerned territories such as Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

JTF states on its website that the number of supported projects varies annually, depending on the proposals. The grant also forms part of the European Union’s efforts to transition to clean energy and achieve climate goals.

Cinovec was chosen as it was designated as a strategic project under the Critical Raw Minerals Act in March, underlining its importance in Europe’s journey toward securing stable supply of critical raw minerals. It was also declared a strategic deposit by the Czech government, a designation that accelerates certain permitting processes.

"The grant funding will be utilised to fast track a number of critical path items with regards to the Cinovec Project,” commented European Metals Executive Chair Keith Coughlan in a press release. “This confirmation builds on recent project momentum and is another clear indicator of the support the European Union and the Czech government is willing to provide to assist in getting Cinovec into production in the timeliest manner possible."

Atlantic Appeals for Fiscal Re-evaluation for Ewoyaa Lithium Project

Atlantic Lithium (ASX:A11,LSE:AAL,OTCQX:ALLIF) is appealing to the Ghanaian government to re-evaluate fiscal terms regarding its flagship Ewoyaa lithium project, which is located in the country.

The company’s board of directors acknowledged media reports on the situation in a press release late last week, saying it wants to ensure the successful development of the asset.

Atlantic notes that lithium prices have significantly declined since the mining lease for Ewoyaa was granted in October 2023, and is urging officials to adjust fiscal terms based on current price levels. Lithium prices remained low in 2024, and the downtrend has continued in 2025, with some price segments falling to four year lows.

Adam Webb, head of battery raw materials at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, said at the Benchmark Summit in March that lithium carbonate prices are expected to remain about where they are, at US$10,400 per metric ton.

“But if we look further ahead, from 2026 onwards, that market is switching into the deficit, albeit quite small to start with, and that will end up being supportive of prices,” he explained at the Toronto-based event.

Australian spot spodumene concentrate prices have also declined.

Starting the year at the US$990 per metric ton level, values contracted through the first quarter of 2025 and are now sitting at the US$765 level, a 23.5 percent drop from January 2024's price of US$1,000.

7 Biggest Lithium-mining Companies in 2025

For a long time, most of the world's lithium was produced by an oligopoly of US-listed producers. However, the sector has transformed significantly in recent years.

Interested investors should cast a wider net to look at global companies — in particular those listed in Australia and China, as companies in both countries have become major players in the industry.

While Australia has long been a top-producing country when it comes to lithium, China has risen quickly to become not only the top lithium processor and refiner, but also a major miner of the commodity. In fact, China was the third largest lithium-producing country in 2024 in terms of mine production, behind Australia and Chile.

Chinese companies are mining in other countries as well, including top producer Australia, where a few are part of major lithium joint ventures. For example, Australia’s largest lithium mine, Greenbushes, is owned and operated by Talison Lithium, which is 51 percent controlled by Tianqi Lithium Energy Australia, a joint venture between China’s Tianqi Lithium (SZSE:002466,HKEX:9696) and Australia’s IGO (ASX:IGO,OTC Pink:IPDGF). The remaining 49 percent stake in Talison is owned by Albemarle (NYSE:ALB). Joint ventures can offer investors different ways to get exposure to mines and jurisdictions.
