FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information in this Presentation includes “forward looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Presentation regarding our business strategy, plans, goals and objectives are forward looking statements. When used in this Presentation, the words “believe”, “project”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “budget”, “target”, “aim”, “strategy”, “estimate”, “plan”, “guidance”, “outlook”, “intend”, “may”, “should”, “could”, “will”, “would”, “will be”, “will continue”, “will likely result” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements, although not all forward looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward looking statements are based on 5E’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. We caution you that these forward looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the extraction of the critical materials we intend to produce and advanced materials production and development. These risks include, but are not limited to: our limited operating history in the borates and lithium industries and the fact that we have not yet realized any revenue from our proposed extraction operations at our properties; our need for substantial additional financing to execute our business plan and our ability to access capital and the financial markets; our status as an exploration stage company dependent on a single project with no known Regulation S-K 1300 mineral reserves and the inherent uncertainty in estimates of mineral resources; our lack of history in mineral production and the significant risks associated with achieving our business strategies, including our downstream processing ambitions; our ability to obtain, maintain, and renew governmental and environmental permits in order to conduct development and mining operations in a timely manner; our incurrence of significant net operating losses to date and expectations to incur continued losses for the foreseeable future; risks and uncertainties relating to the development of the 5E Boron Americas Complex, including our ability to timely and successfully complete Phase 1 of our 5E Boron Americas Complex; our ability to obtain, maintain and renew required governmental permits for our development activities, including satisfying all mandated conditions to any such permits; and other risks. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements. No representation or warranty (express or implied) is made as to, and no reliance should be placed on, any information, including projections, estimates, targets and opinions contained herein, and no liability whatsoever is accepted as to any errors, omissions or misstatements contained herein.

For additional information regarding these various risks and uncertainties, you should carefully review the risk factors and other disclosures in our Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 28, 2022, as amended by our Form 10-K/A filed on October 31, 2022, as well as our Form 10-Qs filed on November 10, 2022, February 9, 2023, and May 15, 2023. Additional risks are also disclosed by 5E in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission throughout the year, as well as its filings under the Australian Securities Exchange.

The information referenced herein is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of such Section.
