Jervois expands scope of São Miguel Paulista Refinery BFS

Highlights:

Jervois expands São Miguel Paulista (“SMP” ) Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) scope to include a larger pressure oxidative (POX ) autoclave, and plans to restart the refinery in a fully integrated single stage.

Adjusted BFS flowsheet to consolidate on prior nickel sulphate studies commissioned at SMP by Companhia Brasileira de AlumÃ-nio (“CBA”), to leverage expertise in chemicals production from Jervois Finland and target higher premia battery markets.

BFS outcomes expected to be released by end Q1 2022 to include updated capital expenditure and schedule estimates for refinery restart.

Agreement with CBA to extend the outside date for closing SMP acquisition to March 2022, to allow CBA additional time to renew applicable operating permits.

Jervois remains confident in the attractiveness of restarting SMP and its future significance to expansion of the non-China battery materials value chain.
