Quarter Ended December, 2024 Financial Highlights

• On December 10, the Company announced that it had completed first trials for the production of lithium carbonate from brines sourced in Chile in conjunction with CleanTech Lithium ("CTL") and Conductive Energy Inc. ("CE"). CTL produced lithium brine eluate from their facilities in Chile and delivered these lithium rich brines to CE's operational site in Chicago, Illinois, USA. CE and FWTC then successfully processed the eluate brine to lithium carbonate using CE's chemical conversion technology and FWTC's proprietary process for high strength brine concentration.

Management Commentary
C. Howie Honeyman, Forward Water's CEO and President said, ""The results of the lithium brine processing trial, in conjunction with our partners Conductive Energy and Clean Tech lithium, demonstrates the clear utility of FWTC's forward osmosis process at scale to produce battery grade lithium carbonate. We are excited to be part of Clean Tech Lithium's vision of a long term sustainable and cost-effective lithium brine processing."
