PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
BOLIVIA
BACKGROUND
In December 2024, Cosmos Exploration entered into an exclusive option agreement 1 to acquire 100% of EAU
Lithium Pty Ltd (EAU), a private Australian company selected by Bolivia’s state-owned lithium company,
Yacimientos de Litio Bolivianos (YLB), through a competitive public tender to undertake technology testing on
brines from Salar de Coipasa, Salar de Empexa, and Salar de Pastos Grandes.
These salars are located within or proximal to the Lithium Triangle, a globally significant region spanning Bolivia,
Chile, and Argentina that hosts over 50% of the world’s identified lithium resources (Figure 1). Bolivia alone is
estimated to contain 23 million tonnes2 of elemental lithium (~122Mt LCE), the largest known resource globally
(Figure 2).
The project aims to assess the suitability of Vulcan Energy’s proprietary VULSORB® Adsorption-Type Direct
Lithium Extraction (A-DLE) technology for high-magnesium Bolivian brines, which have historically proven
challenging for conventional reagent-based and solar evaporation methods.
A successful outcome would enable EAU to advance negotiations on industrialisation agreements with local
communities and the Bolivian government, laying the foundation for large scale and long-term lithium production
aligned with Bolivia’s national strategy for sustainable resource development.

Figure 1: Location of Salar de Coipasa, Salar de Empexa, and Salar de Pastos Grandes in Bolivia. EAU Lithium
has commenced synthetic brine testing using Vulcan Energy’s proprietary VULSORB® adsorption-type direct
lithium extraction (A-DLE) technology, based on the chemistry of brines collected from these salars. These
salars are situated along Bolivia’s western border with Chile. Lithium resource data sourced from the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS), 2024.
Strategic Location & Resource Potential
The project focuses on technology testing of brines from Salar de Coipasa, Salar de Empexa, and Salar de Pastos
Grandes, located either within or adjacent to the globally significant Lithium Triangle. This region spans parts of
Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina and collectively hosts an estimated 56 million tonnes of elemental lithium 2, or
approximately 298 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE), representing over 50 percent of the
world’s identified lithium resources. Bolivia alone contains 23 million tonnes of elemental lithium, the largest
identified resource globally.
Unlike the more developed Salar de Uyuni, Coipasa, Empexa, and Pastos Grandes represent emerging
opportunities for sustainable lithium development. These salars are characterised by high lithium and high
magnesium brine chemistries and remain largely undeveloped, offering strong potential for the application of
advanced lithium extraction technologies that reduce water use and environmental impact.
Salar de Pastos Grandes, at approximately 119 square kilometres, is the smallest of the three salars where EAU
Lithium has completed initial synthetic testing. It is comparable in size and lithium grade to Chile’s Salar de
Maricunga, which covers around 140 square kilometres. Maricunga was the subject of a recent US$900 million
DLE-focused development partnership between Rio Tinto and Codelco, reinforcing the global relevance of Pastos
Grandes as a competitive and emerging lithium resource.
The region is supported by existing road infrastructure and access to export routes through nearby Chilean ports,
enhancing the feasibility of future large scale and sustainable lithium operations.
Technology Development & Testing Program
EAU Lithium Pty Ltd (EAU) is leading the testing and development of lithium extraction technologies amongst
other companies under its agreement with Yacimientos de Litio Bolivianos (YLB), Bolivia’s state-owned lithium
entity. The program is focused on assessing the viability of Adsorption Type Direct Lithium Extraction (A-DLE)
technology as an alternative to legacy reagent + solar methods, which have historically proven uneconomic in
Bolivia due to the high cost of reagents required to precipitate magnesium from brines prior to lithium recovery.
COSMOS EXPLORATION LIMITED | 2025 FINANCIAL REPORT
Page 9
To accelerate this evaluation, EAU has undertaken testwork on synthetic solutions designed to replicate the major
element composition of Bolivian brines. This work is being conducted at Vulcan Energy Resources’ (ASX: VUL)
facility in Germany and is focused on refining lithium extraction parameters ahead of future process optimisation
using field-sourced brine.
Vulcan’s proprietary VULSORB® A DLE technology is being evaluated for its potential to provide a more efficient,
scalable, and environmentally sustainable solution for lithium recovery from Bolivia’s complex brine chemistry, in
alignment with community expectations and Bolivia’s national development goals.
Figure 2: Global Lithium Resources by Country, highlighting Bolivia as the largest resource holder with 23
million metric tonnes (Mt) of lithium. Source: 2024 USGS. The Lithium Triangle countries of Bolivia, Argentina,
and Chile collectively account for 53% of the world’s identified lithium resources, equivalent to 56 million metric
tonnes of elemental lithium (298 Mt LCE).
Path to Commercialisation & Industrialisation
The successful validation of A DLE technology, together with fulfilment of the conditions under the technology
testing agreement, would represent a significant step forward for lithium extraction in Bolivia. It has the potential
to enable higher yield, lower impact processing of one of the world’s largest undeveloped lithium resource bases,
supporting Bolivia’s goals for sustainable industrialisation and value-added resource development.
The testwork program conducted to date forms an important part of the early-stage assessment of Vulcan’s
VULSORB® A DLE technology and its potential applicability to Bolivia’s high-magnesium brine chemistries. While
preliminary in nature, further validation using field-sourced brines is required to assess process operability and
scalability under real-world conditions.
All testwork is being conducted under EAU’s technology agreement with Yacimientos de Litio Bolivianos (YLB).
Results will be released following completion of the full test program and associated QA/QC procedures, in
accordance with the confidentiality and disclosure protocols set out in that agreement.
These outcomes are expected to inform ongoing negotiations toward a proposed industrialisation agreement.
Such an agreement would establish a long-term framework for the responsible supply and processing of Bolivian
lithium brines, forming the foundation for future commercial scale development and a secure, sustainable lithium
COSMOS EXPLORATION LIMITED | 2025 FINANCIAL REPORT
Page 10
supply chain that aligns with local communities, Bolivia’s national development strategy, and the country’s clean
energy and socio-economic objectives.
Regional Investment and Outlook
Global investment in lithium continues to accelerate, with Rio Tinto expanding its portfolio through the A$10
billion acquisition of Arcadium Lithium in March 2025. Building on this, in May 2025 Rio Tinto announced a
strategic partnership with Chile’s state-owned Codelco to jointly develop lithium resources at the Salar de
Maricunga, a globally significant high grade brine project comparable in lithium grade and scale to Bolivia’s Pastos
Grandes.
The agreement involves a staged investment of US$900 million, including US$350 million on close, US$500 million
post final investment decision (FID), and US$50 million upon first lithium production, which is targeted for 2030.
The project will deploy Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology to enable scalable, sustainable production
from Maricunga’s brines.
At the same time, geopolitical dynamics are reshaping the lithium sector. In January 2025, China’s Ministry of
Commerce (MOFCOM) proposed revisions to the Catalogue of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export,
which include tightening export controls on key lithium processing and battery manufacturing technologies (AFR,
17 February 2025).
These developments underscore the growing strategic importance of Western developed Direct Lithium Extraction
(DLE) technologies, such as Vulcan’s VULSORB®, in securing efficient, scalable, and sustainable lithium supply
chains outside of China.
Cosmos, through EAU Lithium’s partnership with YLB and Vulcan Energy, is well positioned to contribute to this
global shift. The Company remains focused on supporting the development of a technically and economically
robust extraction pathway that aligns with Bolivia’s long term industrial and environmental objectives.
NEXT STEPS
•
EAU Lithium will continue with test work on natural brine samples from Salar de Coipasa and Salar
de Pastos Grandes at Vulcan Energy’s laboratory in Germany.
•
Final results will be released upon completion and formal review, in accordance with the disclosure
protocols under the agreement with YLB.EAU Lithium will continue with bench-scale synthetic brine
testing for Salar de Coipasa, Salar de Empexa and Salar de Pastos Grandes.
NUNAVUT PROJECTS, CANADA
BACKGROUND
Cosmos holds a strategic land position in the Thelon Basin, Nunavut, targeting unconformity-style uranium
systems analogous to those found in Canada’s world-class Athabasca Basin. The Company’s exploration is
focused on the Nut Lake South and Angilak West Projects, situated near the high-grade Angilak (Lac 50) deposit,
with Angilak West also surrounding known mineralised corridors.

Figure 3: Simplified geology map of the Angikuni and Yathkyed Sedimentary Sub-basins, highlighting the location of
Cosmos Exploration’s new projects relative to Atha Energy’s Lac 50 uranium deposit, and the recent Tayson discovery and
Tundra assays by Greenridge Exploration. The map also includes recently identified deep-penetrating MMT anomalies from
Atha Energy5, further enhancing the district-scale exploration potential.
Cosmos’ strategy is centred on identifying basement-hosted uranium mineralisation associated with key alteration
minerals and structural trends. Initial fieldwork at Nut Lake South has returned promising results, including highgrade surface samples of up to 1.24% U₃O₈3 and a mineralogical signature closely resembling the Lac 50 system.
These results underscore the region’s underexplored potential and support Cosmos’ commitment to advancing
early-stage exploration across both project areas.
ACTIVITIES
In the quarter, Cosmos announced the results of micro-XRF mineralogy conducted on a high-grade uranium
sample LHNS05 (1.24% U₃O₈) collected from the Gyrfalcon prospect within the Nut Lake South Project. The
sample was scanned using a Tornado micro-XRF, providing high-resolution elemental distribution mapping and
mineral identification.
The analysis confirmed the presence of the secondary uranium mineral uranophane, along with accessory
sulphides including chalcopyrite and pyrite, hosted within mafic amphibolite (Figures 4 & 5). Notably, the
mineralogical signature is highly consistent with the Angilak (Lac 50) deposit located to the southwest, which is
considered one of the most significant basement-hosted uranium discoveries outside the Athabasca Basin4. The
association of sulphides with uranium mineralisation, along with the geological setting, strengthens the geological
model and supports analogies with other large-scale unconformity-style systems.
