Ann: Company Presentation, page-2

Other Lithium Miners should pinch Piedmonts Presentations, They are excellent. Also they did not even bother to mention their plans to produce Battery Grade chemicals from their own Factory. I remember i think the plan is to produce lithium and use the proceeds to build the Chemical Plant after a couple of years. The Land they already have.

This acquisition represents an important step in the development of the verticallyintegrated Piedmont Lithium Project located in North Carolina, USA.Figure 1: Vertically-Integrated Piedmont Lithium Project Sites2The lithium chemical plant site is approximately a 20-mile truck haul from the Company’s proposedspodumene mine and concentrator, minimizing the freight cost for concentrate delivery to theproposed facility. Zoned heavy-industrial, the plant site has direct access to a Norfolk Southern railline, Interstate I-85 and US Highway 29. The site also has natural gas and power transmissionimmediately adjacent to the property.Figure 2: Piedmont Proposed Lithium Chemical Plant Conveniently Located to Major InfrastructureThe site will be included in the Company’s scoping study which is on track for completion in Q3 2018.The planned lithium chemical plant will convert Piedmont Lithium-produced spodumeneconcentrate to lithium chemicals, with a focus on battery grade lithium hydroxide. Lithium hydroxidecommands a pricing premium relative to lithium carbonate, and recent studies have reported thatlithium hydroxide produced from spodumene has a production cost advantage relative toproduction from brines. Piedmont Lithium will commence permitting of the lithium chemical plantupon completion of the Scoping Study.Keith D. Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are very pleased to have identifiedsuch an attractive site for our downstream operations. The site is a short drive from our core miningand concentration properties, it is the proper scale for our contemplated lithium chemical productionoperations, and it offers all the infrastructure one would seek for such a facility. Piedmont is focusedon building an integrated lithium chemical operation in North Carolina, and this site will be an integralpart of our plans.”For further information, contact:Keith D.
