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 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
processing black mass, and recycling of solar
panels and rare earth elements 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 next
generation lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) process,
the fastest growing battery material.

Maturing Industry & Regulation
Livium’s goal is to convert the escalating risk of
hazardous renewable waste into a profitable domestic
source of critical materials and energy security
What is the problem that we are trying to solve
with our recycling business?
Hazardous end of use product (batteries)
Increasing volumes, particularly from e-mobility and ESS, have the potential to
significantly impact health and the environment, if not disposed of appropriately.
Availability of critical materials
Raw material shortages are forecast across energy security and national security,
magnifying the need for development of domestic supply chains.
Tightening regulatory landscape
Global regulation is rising, increasing the need for local, high-yield, recovery of materials
and product lifecycle traceability.

REE 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 comprise ~30% of REE volume but
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.

Black Mass Processing Opportunity
Off-take agreement for at least 60% of MMD production provides baseline1
Current state
Future potential
▪
Livium collects, dismantles and processes lithium-ion
batteries (collectively Pre-Processing)
▪
Livium holds certain patents in relation to the above
activities
Huge addressable market
▪ Global black mass recycling market is expected to rapidly
grow, reaching US$51.7 billion by 20322.
▪
The key product from these activities is black mass
(often referred to as mixed metal dust or MMD)
▪
Livium sells black mass internationally including under a
3-year off-take agreement with SungEel HiTech
▪
SungEel HiTech purchases up to 60% of production –
subject to minimum quality requirements
▪
Demand for black mass is high due to global under
utilisation of black mass processing capacity
Increasing demand for critical materials
▪
Improved economics
▪
Advancing through the value chain will help to drive
sustainable earnings growth.
Need for new technologies
▪
Notes: 1. See ASX announcement, ‘Lithium Australia signs MMD off-take agreement with SungEel HiTech’, 13 June 2024;
Geopolitical shifts underpin demand for recycled materials,
such as black mass, in the energy transition.
Low capex black mass extraction technologies allow
localised processing, reducing carbon footprint.

Recovery rates include >95% Neodymium (Nd), >80% Praseodymium (Pr) (can
further improve to >90% with oxidant)
Currently at TRL3, project 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
