Q3 Highlights:

Demonstration Facility Phase 1 Successfully Produces 99.7% Pure Battery-Grade Lithium Carbonate

• During the quarter, E3 Lithium completed construction of Phase 1 of its Demonstration Facility with commissioning beginning on September 2, 2025. E3 Lithium achieved a major milestone with the successful conversion of lithium chloride produced from the Demonstration Equipment to battery-grade lithium carbonate with an average purity of 99.7%, validating the operational functionality of the Company's Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") system and polishing and purification equipment across the entire process flow.

Sale of Non-Core Saskatchewan Assets Strengthens Balance Sheet

• On September 30, 2025, E3 Lithium entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with an arm's length private company, to sell the Company's non-core, Saskatchewan based, Estevan Lithium District assets for a total cash consideration of US$4.3 million (C$6.0 million at current USD/CAD exchange rates). The transaction is expected to close in late Q4 2025.

Subsequent Events

• In October, E3 Lithium closed a fully subscribed and upsized unit offering at a price of C$1.20 per unit for total gross proceeds of $13.4 million. Each unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. In aggregate, 11,150,000 common shares and 5,836,250 warrants were issued.

• On October 16, 2025, E3 Lithium signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (the "MOU") with Axens, a global provider of clean energy solutions and technologies, including Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") from brines that contemplates both the sale of lithium carbonate by E3 Lithium to Axens (the "Offtake") and for Axens to supply E3 Lithium with a lithium selective sorbent (the "Sorbent").

Demonstration Facility Phase 2 Site Construction and Drilling Underway

• On October 29, 2025, E3 Lithium commenced drilling of a lithium development well. This is E3 Lithium's third lithium well drilled into the Leduc Formation and will provide additional technical data to support engineering and permitting work for E3 Lithium's upcoming commercial facility.

"Embarking on the Demonstration Facility started in 2024 and now having tangible operational results provides significant confidence in our ability to execute on our designs," said Chris Doornbos, President and CEO. "With the start of Phase 2 of the Demonstration Facility, and the financial flexibility added through our recent public offering, we are moving confidently toward delivering our feasibility study and advancing the Clearwater Project to a 'shovel ready' stage in 2026. We remain committed to disciplined execution as we continue to de-risk the project and build long-term value for our shareholders."

Q3 2025 Financial Results

• Net loss for Q3 2025 was $2.4 million, consistent with the prior year's Q3 loss of $2.6 million.
• Capital investments totaled $2.2 million for Q3 2025 and $5.6 million YTD, primarily to fund Demonstration Facility activities and Feasibility Study advancement.
• Working capital at September 30, 2025, totaled $6.8 million (December 31, 2024 - $18.1 million)
  • The subsequent October financing further strengthening liquidity with Working Capital of $18.1 million at October 31, 2025.
