Development Pathway & Economics

How we plan to unlock value

1

Proven Conceptual Foundation

Earlier engineering and economic studies demonstrated strong conceptual project potential based on prior mineral resources.

2

Updated, Data‑Driven Validation

Current work is focused on updating, validating, and derisking the project using the latest mineral resource data and testwork results.

3

Phased Advancement Strategy

The project is being advanced through a disciplined, phased derisking approach, integrating testwork validation, engineering studies, and market engagement.

Roadmap

Project Milestones

Our focus will be on strengthening the project’s economics, confirming environmental readiness, understanding market conditions, and advancing technical confidence. Together, these milestones support informed planning and responsible development.

New Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)
The project will complete a new PEA. This update will incorporate the latest technical data, revised cost assumptions, and current market inputs to provide a clearer and more current view of project economics.

The updated PEA will focus on:
  • Refining capital and operating cost estimates.
  • Updating production and economic assumptions.
  • Supporting informed decision-making for the next stage of studies.
Environmental Work
Environmental work will continue to focus on baseline studies and regulatory preparedness. These activities are designed to inform responsible project planning, support early identification of potential impacts, and prepare the project for future permitting processes.

Key elements include:
  • Ongoing collection of environmental baseline data.
  • Early identification and consideration of potential impacts.
  • Preparation for future permitting requirements.
Market Assessment
A targeted market assessment will be completed to better understand demand, pricing trends, and overall market positioning.

Key areas of focus include:
  • Analysis of current and future market demand.
  • Review of pricing trends and competitive dynamics.
  • Support for strategic planning and development timing.
Purification Scale-Up
Purification scale‑up activities will focus on advancing Albany’s proprietary electrothermal purification process from bench‑scale testing toward pilot‑scale, continuous operation. This work is intended to validate process performance at larger scales, generate representative product for downstream evaluation, and support technical and economic inputs for future studies.

Key areas of focus include:
  • Scaling electrothermal purification from bench‑scale to pilot‑scale operation.
  • Validation of process performance, consistency, and operating parameters.
  • Generation of material for customer qualification, market validation, and economic assessment
