QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
For the Period Ended 30 September 2026
HIGHLIGHTS
• Pad #1 Project Development Continues: production and disposal wells, power infrastructure, and facility
building are complete, preparing the site for the installation and integration of the DLE unit in the lead-up
to commissioning and Phase 1 commercial production for Hydro Lithium’s offtake commitment.
• Arrival of North America’s Largest Commercial DLE Unit: the four-column commercial-scale direct
lithium extraction unit arrived on site at the Prairie Project in Saskatchewan, making it four times larger
than the commercial DLE system at Standard Lithium’s Arkansas Project and the largest of its kind in
North America1 representing a significant de-risking milestone for the Prairie Project.
• C$6.3M in Canadian Government Funding: secured non-equity support via interest-free financing from
the Government of Canada via Prairies Economic Development Canada’s Business Scale-up Productivity
program, in order to support the procurement and installation of Phase 1 processing equipment and
balance-of-plant systems2.
• Canada Investment Summit: included in the Federal Government’s investment prospectus for the
Canada Investment Summit held in Toronto3, highlighting the merits of the Prairie Project for critical
minerals supply chains and economic ties between Australia and Canada.
• Next Steps Toward Commercial Production: Prairie Lithium is now progressing the civil works required
to support the installation and integration of additional site infrastructure, and expand the working area at
Pad #1 for Phase 1 production. The company is also advancing the well re-entry program, which is
targeting initial lithium brine production testing from the production well in Q4 2026. Once procurement,
construction and installation activities are complete, the Company will progressively bring its pre-treatment,
DLE and lithium chloride concentration systems into operation, supporting the staged ramp up of Phase 1
production to its targeted capacity of 150 tonnes per annum of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE)5.
Prairie Lithium Limited (ASX: PL9, OTC: PLIXF) (“Prairie Lithium”, “PL9” or “the Company”), a company
focused on the sustainable development of the Prairie Lithium Project (“Prairie”), is pleased to provide an
overview of the Company’s activities for the period ending 30 September 2026 (“Quarter” or “Reporting
Period”).
The September Quarter was defined by the Company’s continued transition towards commercial readiness.
With production and disposal wells, power infrastructure and the facility building complete, alongside the arrival
of the four-column commercial-scale DLE unit on site in Saskatchewan, Prairie Lithium is advancing the civil
works required to support the installation and integration of additional site infrastructure, and expand the
working area at Pad #1 for Phase 1 production. The Company is also advancing the well re-entry program,
which is targeting initial lithium brine production testing from the production well in Q4 2026.
Commenting on the September Quarter, Prairie Lithium’s Executive Chairman, Paul Lloyd, stated: “The
September Quarter represented another important step in Prairie Lithium’s transition from project development
towards commercial production.
The arrival of our four-column DLE unit at our Saskatchewan site was a defining milestone, bringing us another
step closer to commissioning North America’s largest commercial-scale DLE system. With our key site
infrastructure now in place, our focus is firmly on equipment installation, integration and preparing the facility
for operations.
The C$6.3 million in interest-free financing from the Canadian Government is another significant development,
providing valuable non-dilutive support as we advance Phase 1. Our inclusion in the Canada Investment
Summit Prospectus also highlights the growing recognition of the Prairie Project and its potential contribution
to Canada’s critical minerals supply chain.

With a binding offtake agreement in place with Hydro Lithium and construction activities underway, we are
entering an exciting phase for the Company. Our priority is to translate the progress made during the Quarter
into operational milestones as we work towards establishing Prairie Lithium as a commercial-scale lithium
producer in Canada.”
OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Pad #1 Project Development and Construction
During the September Quarter, Prairie Lithium progressed with its Phase 1 construction of the commercial
facility at Pad #1 in Saskatchewan, Canada. Production and disposal wells, power infrastructure, and facility
building are now complete, and therefore, the primary focus for the September Quarter was the delivery of the
commercial-scale Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) unit.
North America's Largest Commercial DLE Unit Arrives on Site
On 10 July 2026, Prairie announced the arrival of a four-column commercial-scale DLE unit following
successful Factory Acceptance Testing. The commercial-scale unit is the largest commercial Direct Lithium
Extraction (DLE) system in North America, at approximately four times the size of the system currently
deployed at Standard Lithium's Arkansas Project, with a single column installed in 20241.

The delivery of the DLE unit is a significant de-risking milestone for the Prairie Lithium Project in Saskatchewan,
Canada1.

C$6.3 Million Government of Canada Funding
On 29 September 2026, Prairie Lithium announced that it had secured C$6.3 million in interest-free financing
from the Government of Canada via the Business Scale-up and Productivity (BSP) program, which is an
initiative with Prairies Economic Development Canada (“PrairiesCan”). The funding is intended to support the
next phase of construction for the Prairie Project, including the procurement and installation of additional
balance-of-plant systems and processing equipment during Phase 12.

The financing support complements existing conditional approval for ~A$21 million under the Saskatchewan
Critical Mineral Processing Investment Incentive (CMPII) announced previously. In announcing the funding,
the Honourable Eleanor Olszewski highlighted the Project’s role in advancing Saskatchewan's lithium brine
extraction efforts, strengthening economic ties between Canada and Australia, as well as contributing to the
critical minerals supply chain for the nations.
The C$6.3 million financing is interest free, with repayments scheduled to commence in 2029.
Canada Investment Summit & Investor Engagement
During the September Quarter, Prairie continued with its ongoing efforts to engage with the investor community
of Australia, including various activities, introductions, and one-on-one meetings with professional and
institutional investors.
On 15 September 2026, the Company announced that the Prairie Project was selected for inclusion in the
Canada Investment Summit Prospectus, which is a curated portfolio of investment-ready Canadian projects
presented to global institutional investors at the Summit event, which was then hosted by Prime Minister Mark
Carney in Toronto in September3.

Maurer (Executive Director of Prairie Lithium), David Marit (Minister of Agriculture) participating in the Canada Investment
Summit
The inclusion of the Prairie Project is a result of several key milestones, such as its status as Canada's first
and only approved commercial-scale lithium brine facility, the arrival of the DLE unit as the largest of its kind
in North America, and the execution of the offtake agreement with Hydro Lithium4. Mr Zach Maurer (Executive
Director) attended the Summit event to represent the Company, participated in panel and roundtable
discussions, and met with prospective investors during networking opportunities.
