Syrah's Value Proposition

only

Electric Vehicles require graphite

● Electric Vehicle ("EV") adoption is gaining momentum

● Anodes in lithium-ion batteries used in EVs are made of graphite

Graphite is a strategic critical mineral

use

● Global anode supply chain is currently 100% reliant on China

● Graphite is designated as a strategic critical mineral in USA, EU, Japan & Australia

Balama Graphite Operation: A Tier 1 asset

● Long life (>50 years1) and high grade (16% TGC2)

ersonal

● Largest integrated natural graphite mine and processing operation globally

● Significant vanadium resource at Balama is a valuable option3

Vertical Integration in USA

● Balama vertically integrated with AAM4 facility at Vidalia, USA

● Large-scaleex-Asia AAM supply option that is ESG verifiable

1. Life of mine based on current 107Mt Graphite Ore Reserves being depleted at 2Mt throughput per annum. Refer to 2021 Annual Report released to ASX 24 March 2022 for Reserves as at 31 December 2021. All material assumptions underpinning the Reserves and Resource statement in this presentation continue to apply, other than as updated in subsequent ASX releases.

2. TGC = Total graphitic carbon.

3. Scoping study on potential to refine vanadium as per ASX release 30 July 2014.

4. AAM = Active anode material.

Syrah's vision is to be the world's leading supplier of

superior quality graphite and anode material products, working closely with customers and the supply chain to add value in battery and industrial markets

Q2 2022: Highlights

ersonal use only

Health and Safety

Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate ("TRIFR") of 0.8 for Balama and 17.1 for Vidalia at quarter end

Strong momentum in EV sales and penetration, a key leading indicator for natural graphite and active anode material ("AAM") demand growth

Market

Global EV sales grew 51% in Q2 2022, versus Q2 2021, to ~2.2 million units1

Significant commitments made to further expanding EV sales and battery manufacturing capacity in the USA

China domestic fines price was stable through Q2 2022 with record Chinese anode production and natural graphite imports

Produced 44kt natural graphite at 79% recovery with 44kt sold and shipped

Product quality consistent with previous quarter with stable grade and higher recovery

Balama Update

Balama C1 cash costs (FOB Nacala/Pemba) of US$543/t, impacted by one-off maintenance costs and input price increases

Weighted average sales price increased to US$662/t (CIF) and was stable with increasing Chinese domestic production and strong demand

Two ~10kt spot breakbulk shipments from Pemba port completed in Q2 2022 and further breakbulk shipments planned for Q3 2022

Significant forward sales order book of nearly 90kt natural graphite, demonstrating robust underlying demand conditions

First mover in establishing an independent, vertically integrated ex-Asia supply chain for AAM driving commercial and technical interactions

Detailed engineering for expansion of Vidalia AAM facility to 11.25ktpa AAM production capacity ("Vidalia Initial Expansion") more than 76% complete

Vidalia Update

Construction of the Vidalia Initial Expansion project advancing within schedule and budget

  • 11.25ktpa AAM Vidalia facility targeted to start production in Q3 2023
  • DFS for the expansion of Vidalia's production capacity to at least 45ktpa AAM, inclusive of 11.25ktpa AAM, well underway and to be completed in 2022
  • Memorandum of understanding with Mitsubishi Chemicals Company to develop AAM products and localised production facilities
  • Commenced process for development of a large-scale AAM facility in the European Union potentially through partnership
