FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information in this Presentation includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation regarding our business strategy, plans, goal, and objectives are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "budget," "target," "aim," "strategy," "plan," "guidance," "outlook," "intent," "may," "should," "could," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on 5E's current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the extraction of the critical materials we intend to produce and advanced materials production and development. These risks include, but are not limited to: our limited operating history in the borates and lithium industries and no revenue from our proposed extraction operations at our properties; our need for substantial additional financing to execute our business plan and our ability to access capital and the financial markets; our status as an exploration stage company dependent on a single project with no known Regulation S-K 1300 mineral reserves and the inherent uncertainty in estimates of mineral resources; our lack of history in mineral production and the significant risks associated with achieving our business strategies, including our downstream processing ambitions; our incurrence of significant net operating losses to date and plans to incur continued losses for the foreseeable future; risks and uncertainties relating to the development of the Fort Cady project, including our ability to timely and successfully complete our Small Scale Boron Facility; our ability to obtain, maintain and renew required governmental permits for our development activities, including satisfying all mandated conditions to any such permits; our ability to obtain, stockholder approval for and successfully implement our currently proposed out of court restructuring transaction (the "Transaction") as defined and described in the Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 6, 2023, and related matters on a timely manner or at all; the implementation of and expected benefits from certain reduced spending measures, and other risks and uncertainties set forth in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. No representation or warranty (express or implied) is made as to, and no reliance should be placed on, any information, including projections, estimates, targets, and opinions contained herein, and no liability whatsoever is accepted as to any errors, omissions, or misstatements contained herein.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Presentation. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update and do not intend to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Presentation.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

This Presentation has been prepared by 5E and includes market data and other statistical information from third-party sources, including independent industry publications, government publications or other published independent sources. Although 5E believes these third-party sources are reliable as of their respective dates for the purposes used herein, neither we nor any of our affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, partners, shareholders or agents make any representation or warranty with respect to the accuracy or completeness of such information. Although we believe the sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of data from such sources. Some data is also based on 5E's good faith estimates, which are derived from our review of internal sources as well as the third-party sources described above. Additionally, descriptions herein of market conditions and opportunities are presented for informational purposes only there can be no assurance that such conditions will actually occur or result in positive returns.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING RESERVES

Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral resource estimates included in this Presentation have been prepared in accordance with, and are based on the relevant definitions set forth in, the SEC's Mining Disclosure Rules and Regulation S-K 1300 (each as defined below). Mining disclosure in the United States was previously required to comply with SEC Industry Guide 7 under the Exchange Act ("SEC Industry Guide 7"). In accordance with the SEC's Final Rule 13-10570, Modernization of Property Disclosure for Mining Registrant, the SEC has adopted final rules, effective February 25, 2019, to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules (the "Mining Disclosure Rules") under sub-part 1300 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") ("Regulation S-K 1300"). Regulation S-K 1300 replaces the historical property disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7. Regulation S-K 1300 uses the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards ("CRIRSCO") - based classification system for mineral resources and mineral reserves and accordingly, under Regulation S-K 1300, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources", and require SEC-registered mining companies to disclose in their SEC filings specified information concerning their mineral resources, in addition to mineral reserves. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "Proven Mineral Reserves" and "Probable Mineral Reserves" to be substantially similar to international standards. The SEC Mining Disclosure Rules more closely align SEC disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, referred to as the "JORC Code". While the SEC now recognizes "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources" under the SEC Mining Disclosure Rules, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves.

For additional information regarding these various factors, you should carefully review the risk factors and other disclosures in the Company's Form 10-K filed on August 30, 2023. Additional risks are also disclosed by 5E in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission throughout the year, including its Form 10-K, Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks (and Form 8-K/As, as applicable), as well as in its filings under the Australian Securities Exchange. Any forward-looking statements are given only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, 5E expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements. Additionally, 5E undertakes no obligation to comment on third-party analyses or statements regarding 5E's actual or

expected financial or operating results or its securities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Presentation includes forward-lookingnon-GAAP financial measures. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP. These measures are commonly used in the mining industry to provide stockholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Company's future performance in its mining operations at projected full-run rates. This presentation contains references to the following: Full Year 1 EBITDA, Full Year 3 EBITDA, Full Year 6 EBITDA and Full Production EBITDA, each of which are forward-lookingnon-GAAP financial measures that are detailed in the Company's Regulation S-K 1300 compliant Initial Assessment Report (the "Initial Assessment Report"). EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expenses, income tax expense, and depreciation. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of Full Year 1 EBITDA, Full Year 3 EBITDA, Full Year 6 EBITDA, and Full Production EBITDA to the Company's future net income, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, as such GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort. Specifically, the Company could not calculate interest, income taxes, depreciation or the effect of certain corporate level transactions or activities, on a forward-looking basis with any reasonable degree of accuracy, but such items could be significant and have a material impact on the Company's net income. For more information regarding these forward-lookingnon-GAAP financial measures, you should read the Company's Initial Assessment Report included as Exhibit 96.1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on October 27, 2023.
