ABOUT LITHIUM UNIVERSE LIMITED
Lithium Universe Limited (ASX: LU7) (“Lithium Universe” or “the Company”) is a forward-thinking company on a mission to close the "Lithium
Conversion Gap" in North America and revolutionize the photovoltaic (PV) solar panel recycling sector.
SILVER EXTRACTION - PV SOLAR PANEL RECYCLING STRATEGY
As the global demand for solar energy expands, solar panel waste is projected to reach 60–78 million tonnes by 2050, making efficient recycling
solutions critical. Silver is essential for solar panels, electronics, and electric vehicles due to its unmatched electrical conductivity. Industrial demand
has surged, especially from photovoltaics and AI technologies, creating a global supply deficit. With production lagging, silver prices have soared to
record highs, reinforcing the economic importance of efficient recycling.
Lithium Universe has responded by acquiring Macquarie University’s Microwave Joule Heating Technology (MJHT) and Jet Electrochemical Silver
Extraction (JESE) method, a breakthrough in recovering valuable metals from end-of-life PV panels. The first stage, developed by Macquarie
University, is Microwave Joule Heating Technology (MJHT), a process that uses microwave energy to selectively heat silicon cells softening the
ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) encapsulant that binds a solar panel’s layers. This enables room-temperature delamination of glass, silicon, and metal
layers without crushing, furnaces, or toxic chemicals. The result is a clean separation of materials, drastically reducing energy use, emissions, and
chemical waste while preserving the integrity of high-value silicon and silver components. Following delamination, Lithium Universe applies its Jet
Electrochemical Silver Extraction (JESE) process, a micro-jet electrochemical system that directs a fine stream of dilute nitric electrolyte onto the silver
pads of solar cells. This method achieves over 95% silver recovery at 96% purity, while using 83% less acid and no chemical additives. The process
operates at just 5 volts, recycles its electrolyte, and produces zero heavy-metal waste, establishing a true closed-loop recycling system. Together,
MJHT and JESE form a sustainable, scalable recycling platform that converts discarded solar panels into a renewable source of silver, silicon, and
other critical materials, a vital step toward circularity in the global clean-energy supply chain.

Lithium Strategy: Closing the Lithium Conversion Gap
Lithium Universe is at the forefront of efforts to meet the growing demand for lithium in North America. As electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturers
prepare to deploy an estimated 1,000 GW of battery capacity by 2028, the need for lithium is expected to rise dramatically. However, with only a
fraction of the required lithium conversion capacity in North America, LU7 is determined to play a pivotal role in reducing dependence on foreign supply
chains. The company is building a green, battery-grade lithium carbonate refinery in Bécancour, Québec, leveraging the proven technology developed
at the Jiangsu Lithium Carbonate Plant. This refinery will produce up to 18,270 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate, focusing initially on the production
of lithium carbonate for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. The refinery's smaller, off-the-shelf plant model ensures efficient operations and timely
implementation, positioning LU7 as a key player in the emerging North American lithium market. With a strong leadership team, including industry
pioneers like Chairman Iggy Tan, LU7 is well-positioned to deliver this transformative project. The company's strategy is counter-cyclical, designed to
build through the market downturn and benefit from the inevitable recovery, ensuring sustained exposure to the growing lithium demand.
Second Refinery Strategy
Lithium Universe Limited has launched a second lithium refinery strategy in the Port of Brownsville, Texas, complementing its flagship Bécancour
project in Québec. The initiative creates a binational refining platform to address North America’s lithium conversion shortage and strengthen supply
chain resilience. Strategically located near the Port of Brownsville, the site offers deep-water access, low labour costs, and streamlined permitting
within one of the U.S.’s most business-friendly regions. Leveraging a “copy and paste” design from the proven Bécancour refinery, the Texas project
can be rapidly deployed to serve nearby gigafactories, aligning with U.S. policy incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act.
