IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022— 21 20 —IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 Overview An Integrated Battery Products Business IGO upstream mining IGO downstream processing End users of IGO products Battery Supply Chain IGO’s strategy is to be a vertically integrated business of products critical to clean energy. Our business currently operates in exploration, project development, upstream mining and, through our lithium joint venture, downstream processing. RAWMATERIAL SUPPLY RECYCLED MATERIAL SUPPLY RAWMATERIAL SUPPLY & MARKET DELIVERY Cathode & Anode Production Production of precursor and finished active battery materials Battery Cell & Pack Manufacturing Manufacturing of battery cells and production of battery packs End User (Electric Vehicle) The majority of IGO supplied raw materials will be utilised in the EV market. We consider product stewardship responsibilities across our value chain Re-use & Recycling Re-use and recycling of battery materials through repurposing of batteries or recycling of raw materials Specialist Processing & Refining Committed to completing a feasibility study on Downstream Nickel Sulphate utlising the IGO ProcessTM LiOH Final product: Lithium Hydroxide NiSO₄ Final product: Nickel Sulphate Refining of chemical grade spodumene concentrates into high purity lithium chemical to highly purified chemical salts. The process includes extraction, solubilisation and crystallisation Mine Rehabilitation & Closure We take great care to look beyond the lifecycle of the mine and determine the rehabilitation and final closure plans of the site, ensuring ongoing real benefits for our host communities Exploration & Discovery We use innovative practices to explore our existing near-mine areas and regional belt-scale holdings in both greenfields and brownfields setting, to discover the mines of the future Development Project development involves the definition of economically mineable resources. Our company strategy and carbon neutral commitment drives mine planning and design, ensuring we construct the most safe, ethical, sustainable and reliable operations Mining Our mining operations involve the extraction of ore and its beneficiation to produce saleable products, including concentrates that contain nickel, copper, cobalt and lithium
