Notes to Editors:

About Rainbow:

Rainbow Rare Earths aims to be a forerunner in the establishment of an
independent and ethical supply chain of the rare earth elements that are
driving the green energy transition. It is doing this successfully via the
identification and development of secondary rare earth deposits that can be
brought into production quicker and at a lower cost than traditional hard rock
mining projects, with a focus on the permanent magnet rare earth elements
neodymium and praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium.

The Company is focused on the development of the Phalaborwa Rare Earths
Project in South Africa and the earlier stage Uberaba Project in Brazil. Both
projects entail the recovery of rare earths from phosphogypsum stacks that
occur as the by-product of phosphoric acid production, with the original
source rock for both deposits being a hardrock carbonatite. Rainbow intends to
use a proprietary separation technique developed by and in conjunction with
its partner K-Technologies, Inc., which simplifies the process of producing
separated rare earth oxides (versus traditional solvent extraction), leading
to cost and environmental benefits.

The Phalaborwa Preliminary Economic Assessment has confirmed strong base line
economics for the project, which has a base case NPV(10) of US$627 million 1 ,
an average EBITDA operating margin of 75% and a payback period of < two
years. Pilot plant operations commenced in 2023, with the project expected to
reach commercial production in 2026, just five years after work began on the
project by Rainbow.
