About Livium
Livium is dedicated to leading the clean energy
transition by securing critical materials from
sustainable material recovery. The company's core
focus is to the recycling of clean energy waste.
Livium's subsidiary, Envirostream, is Australia’s
market-leading lithium-ion battery recycler.
Envirostream is seeking to expand its services into
recycling rare earth elements and solar panels,
and processing of black mass, to meet its
customers' needs.
Beyond recycling, Livium has developed other
innovative technologies. Lithium extraction
technology, LieNA®, has progressed to a 50:50
joint venture with Mineral Resources. Livium’s
subsidiary, VSPC, has developed lithium ferro
phosphate (LFP), the fastest growing battery
material.

US$7.3B Global Market1
▪ Rare Earth Elements (REE) are becoming a key
component in geopolitical trade discussions..
▪ Currently China processes ~90% of the world's
rare earth supply2.
▪ Chinese custom officials are scrutinising and
restricting orders from overseas customers.
▪ In turn, demand of rare earths outside of China
continues to grow.
▪ Magnetic REEs make up around 30% of overall
REE volume, but they capture more than 80% of
the value3.
▪ Global addressable market for REE is expected to
reach US$7.3 billion by 20264.
▪ Secondary supply is looked upon favourably as a
gateway for local supply. Currently only 1% of the
world’s REE is recycled5.

REE Strategy Execution: University of Melbourne
Term Sheet signed with UoM explores the use of microwave technology in the extraction of rare earth elements
UoM to build prototype microwave-assisted
leaching system for the recovery of REE
Livium has signed a Term Sheet to access an exclusive global license to explore
use of microwave technology in the extraction of rare earth elements.
Technology improves recoveries, reduces
energy consumption and carbon footprint
Recovery rates include >95% Neodymium (Nd), >80% Praseodymium (Pr) (can
further improve to >90% with oxidant)
Currently at TRL3, projects aims to scale up
technology 100x to TRL 5-6
Advantages of Selective Leaching approach:
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
Energy: 85% reduction relative to “Hot Block” digestion technology process
Yield: Obtain higher target metal concentrates
Cost: Reduce the usage of acids and reagents in the process
Sustainability: Reduce the amount of wastewater
Recoverability: Separation of solid and liquid much easier
Livium provide feedstock and technical input,
UoM to continue testwork at larger scale
In addition, the technology has the potential to be applied to PGMs with recoveries
using microwave heating technology achieving: 91±13 % Pt, 97±13 % Pd and
68±13 % Rh.. When further developing leaching solution, the leaching recovery of Rh
can be >80%.
Licence will grant Livium exclusive global
rights to the technology for the next 20 years

To access adjacent waste streams, we will:
▪ Engage current / emerging battery customers to expand services to other waste streams.
▪ Identify new waste streams customers who do not interact with battery recycling.

Why is Livium pursuing recycling adjacencies?
Envirostream is ready to expand its services to meet its customer needs
We have a right to play
We can expand our position
Customer development
Technology enhancement
Current customer base needs a solution for these waste
streams, expanding our role as recycling partner under a
holistic approach.
This strategy has the potential for the Company to use its preprocessing pedigree to advance into processing.
Leverages existing logistics & compliance
Commercial model
Utilises existing infrastructure and know-how in hazardous
material collection, handling, and regulation — lowering
startup friction.
“Fee for Service” model developed for battery recycling
deployed for alternate waste streams from similar customers.
Prior delivery underpins customer confidence.
Core competency
Revenue growth and diversification
A history of working with customers to solve their problems,
through safe handling and pre-processing of waste streams.
Expands Livium’s core battery recycling operations into
connected opportunities — capturing fast-growing adjacent
waste streams with high material value.
Industry penetration
Asset-light market entry
Current industry engagement provides access to new
customers and engagement with government bodies and
policymakers facilitates industry maturity.
Early stages require limited investment, with partners
supplying key equipment and technology — ideal for phased,
low-risk scaling.
