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.

Where Does Tesla Get its Lithium?

As the energy transition continues to unfold, US electric vehicle (EV) pioneer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been making moves to secure supply of the raw materials it needs to meet its production targets.

Lithium in particular has been top of mind for CEO Elon Musk. Back in 2020, the battery metal had a spotlight moment at Tesla’s Battery Day, when Musk shared that the company had bought tenements in the US state of Nevada, and was looking for a new way to produce lithium from clay — a process yet to be proven at commercial scale.

Lithium prices went on to hit all-time highs, but swiftly declined in 2023 and continued on a downward trend in 2024. Prices for other key battery metals have also decreased as EV sales growth has fallen across most global markets in the face of economic uncertainty and higher interest rates. According to Goldman Sachs research, EV battery costs are at record lows and are forecasted to fall by 40 percent between 2023 and 2025.

Powering the Clean Energy Revolution Begins with Lithium Exploration

As lithium becomes increasingly critical in the global transition to clean energy, the strategic importance of lithium exploration has never been more pronounced, presenting unique opportunities for investors and companies alike.

This versatile metal, often dubbed "white gold," is at the heart of the renewable energy revolution, playing a pivotal role in electric vehicle (EV) batteries and grid-scale energy storage systems. Gaining an understanding of where the opportunities lie within the lithium exploration space can help investors make strategic investment decisions.

Lithium Brine Projects Present Growth Opportunity in Clean Energy Market

The accelerated global shift towards clean energy solutions continues to shine a spotlight on sustainable and cost-effective mineral extraction methods, and lithium brine projects are emerging as a compelling investment opportunity with the potential for attractive returns.

The surging demand for lithium, driven primarily by the electric vehicle (EV) revolution and the growing need for renewable energy storage systems, has created a projected supply deficit that savvy investors are keen to capitalise on.

Lithium brine projects, particularly those located in the renowned Lithium Triangle of South America, offer a unique combination of high-grade resources and cost-effective extraction methods, positioning them favourably to address the looming supply shortfall while providing substantial returns on investment.
