The testwork was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Altilium Ti/REE Process™ (pat. pend.) for extracting rare earths elements ("REE") into leach solution and upgrading titanium ("Ti") into leach residue. Testing was directed by a Qualified Person under Item 1300 of Regulation S-K from Altilium Group Limited.
