PERTH, Jan. 12 /Medianet International-AsiaNet/ --

Liontown signs foundational binding Offtake Term Sheet with premier global 
battery maker LG Energy Solution Cornerstone offtake agreement provides strong 
market validation for the product quality and Tier-1 jurisdiction credentials 
of Liontown's Kathleen Valley Lithium Project

Highlights:

- Binding Lithium Spodumene Concentrate Offtake Term Sheet signed with South 
Korean-based LG Energy Solution (LGES). Foundation agreement underpins the 
development of Liontown's A$473 million Kathleen Valley Lithium Project in 
Western Australia.

- Initial 5-year term expected to commence in 2024, with the ability to extend 
for a further 5 years.

- LGES to purchase 100,000 dry metric tonnes (DMT) in the first year, 
increasing to 150,000 DMT per year in subsequent years.

- Pricing determined using a formula-based mechanism referencing market prices 
for Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate.

- The landmark Offtake Term Sheet is strongly aligned with Liontown's offtake 
strategy, which is targeting Tier-1 customers downstream in the global battery 
value chain.

- Negotiations continue with several Tier-1 customers that will complement 
Liontown's offtake strategy of establishing a diverse portfolio of high-quality 
customers, defined both by geographic location and position within the global 
battery value chain.
