PBrindle@piedmontlithium.com JNottingham@pedmontlithium.com Subject: Acid Base Account (ABA) and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) Test Results Summary, and Proposed Mitigation Plan Associated with Potentially Acid Producing Waste Rock in the Southern Portion of East Pit Patrick and Jim: Acid Base Accounting (ABA) analysis of 36 samples taken from three borings (20-BD-363, 20-BD-350, and 21-BD-408) in the southern portion of the East Pit of the proposed Piedmont Lithium Carolinas, Inc. (Piedmont) Mine #1 indicate that some of the samples contain sulfide concentrations high enough to potentially produce Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) upon mining. Previous (2019) ABA sampling and analysis results did not indicate any potential ARD. A change in the host rock around the pegmatite bands, from amphibolite to schist/mudstone/amphibolite, is believed to be the cause for the potential ARD. Figure 1 is a summary map showing the locations of the 2019 ABA test holes and the 2020-2021 ABA test holes. The holes discussed in this memo (20-BD-363, 20-BD-350, and 21-BD-408) are located in the southeastern portion of the East Pit (blue). The subject area (southeastern portion of East Pit) is estimated to include approximately 34 million tonnes of waste rock, including —25% overburden and saprolite, —19% mudstone, —13% amphibolite, and —43% schist. The schist, and to a lesser degree the mudstone, display the greatest potential to generate ARD if not properly managed. In particular, most of the schist samples exhibit significant sulfidic sulfur and very little neutralization potential (NP). The overburden and saprolite samples appear to be thoroughly leached and are expected to be essentially inert. It is evident that metals commonly associated with ARD are present and it is possible they will mobilize if acidic conditions are generated. This document summarizes the results of testing completed in the subject area and includes a proposed mitigation plan.

August 27, 2021 „O�k"k., Page 3 Y: • In general, samples with an NP/AP ratio less than 1 are most likely to produce acid, samples with a ratio between 1 and 3 are still a cause for concern, samples with a ratio of just over 3 are a potential concern, and samples with a ratio significantly over 3 are of low concern. Many of the current samples exhibit NP/AP ratios that are less than 1. Similarly, samples with a Sulfide content of less than 0.5% are generally expected to produce little or no acid and samples with a Sulfide content of greater than 1.5% are expected to produce potentially significant amounts of acid. Samples with Sulfide contents between 0.5% and 1.5% sulfide have the potential to produce acid. None of the current samples contain sulfide greater than 1.5%, but many of the samples contain sulfide in the 0.5 to 1.5% range.

TCLP testing is commonly used for assessing parameter leachability and for classification of waste material as hazardous or non- hazardous. TCLP test results are compared against toxicity threshold values (Toxicity Characteristic Limits or TCL) reflected on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "D" list of potentially hazardous waste elements. Results of TCLP testing for holes in the southeastern portion of the East Pit are summarized in Table 2. TCLP results indicate that leachate concentrations of elements for which a TCL is established (including arsenic and chromium) are all orders of magnitude lower than the respective toxicity threshold values reflected on the EPA "D" list. For example, the TCLP results for Arsenic in the tested samples indicate concentrations ranging from <0.002 to 0.01 milligrams per liter (mg/L), compared to the TCL of 5.0 mg/L. Similarly, TCLP results for Chromium indicate a range from 0.0031 to 0.0043 mg/L, compared to a TCL of 5.0 mg/L.

August 27, 2021 Page 5 MSOCINEH=KULLES The results also indicate that the schist tends to yield higher concentrations of the featured parameters. Laboratory sheets associated with the TCLP testing are included in Attachment C. PROPOSED MITIGATION PLAN The test results discussed above indicate that the waste rock in the southeastern portion of the East Pit has potential to create ARD, but TCLP testing suggests that the material is not expected to produce leachate with concentrations that exceed Toxicity Characteristics Limits defined by the EPA. Due to the potential acid -producing nature of the material, a multi -component mitigation plan has been developed. The zone of potential ARD-producing overburden has been defined by drilling and geologic modeling. As mentioned previously, there are approximately 34 million tonnes of waste rock associated with the subject area and the schist (-43% of the rock) and the mudstone (-19%) tend to have the greatest potential to produce ARD. The available geologic data suggests that the schist and mudstone are interfingered with other units (amphibolite) and it may not be practical to selectively handle only individual units from the area. If additional data and conditions encountered during mining allow for practical segregation of material during mining, doing so may reduce the amount of waste rock requiring ABA mitigation. The ABA mitigation actions will begin even before the area is mined. The open pit mining for the project will be sequenced so that the East Pit Extension area is mined only after mining in other select pit areas has progressed to final depth, creating adequate disposal area in deep pit areas to facilitate burial of the East Pit Extension area waste rock in positions where it will be located well below the post -mining groundwater table (no shallower than approximately 100 feet below ground level). When the waste rock is mined, it will be crushed in the pit and placed on a conveyor to be moved. While the waste rock is moving on the conveyor, alkaline amendment material will be added to it (via a bin and screw -feed system) to reduce the potential for commencement of acid generation. The amount of alkaline amendment mixed with the waste rock will be dependent upon the total Sulfur and sulfide content of the rock, with consideration of laboratory test results. The alkaline amendment material will likely consist, at least in part, of limestone with a high calcium concentration (-95% or greater), with the potential to use tailings material from the Lithium Hydroxide Conversion Plant as part of the mitigation efforts. ABA testing of the tailings from the conversion plant indicates that the material has a net excess Calcium Carbonate Equivalent of approximately 315 tons per 1,000 tons of material, which is about one-third of the Calcium Carbonate Equivalent of high -calcium limestone. The Laboratory sheets associated with the ABA testing of the tailings from the Lithium Hydroxide Conversion Plant are included in Attachment D and the results of TCLP testing for the tailings are discussed in Attachment J of the mine permit. The TCLP results presented in Attachment J indicate that the tailings do not qualify as toxic hazardous waste since TCLP concentrations did not exceed EPA Toxicity Characteristic Limits. Movement of the material via the planned use of conveyors facilitates a thoroughly homogenous mixing of the alkaline material with the potentially acidic waste rock. www.mmal.com Piedmont Lithium Carolinas, Inc. August 27, 2021 Page 6 MSOCINEH=KULLES The amended waste rock will be placed in the deepest portions of mined pits in preparation for eventual burial and inundation. During placement, the waste rock material may be periodically covered with soil or clay material to further reduce the potential for initiation of acid production. The waste rock will be placed in deep portions of pits to an elevation that is well below the expected post -mining water surface. Placement of potentially acidic waste rock in a sub -aqueous environment reduces the amount of oxygen available for sulfide oxidation by several orders of magnitude. This mitigation method for potentially acidic waste rock has been used successfully for decades. The proposed mitigation plan, which includes selective handling, alkaline amendment addition, at least partial encapsulation, and final burial in a sub -aqueous environment will greatly reduce any risk associated with excavation of the potentially acidic waste material.
