General Statement and Cautionary Statement
This presentation has been prepared by Lake Resources N.L. (Lake) for information purposes and not any particular party. The information in this presentation is based upon public information and internally developed data and
reflects prevailing conditions and views as of this date, all of which are accordingly subject to change. The information contained in this presentation is of general nature and is not intended to address the circumstances of any
particular individual or entity. There is no guarantee that the information is accurate as of the date it is received or that it will continue to be accurate in the future. No warranties or representations can be made as to the origin,
validity, accuracy, completeness, currency or reliability of the information. No one should act upon such information without appropriate professional advice after a thorough examination of the particular situation. Lake Resources NL
accepts no responsibility or liability to any party in connection with this information or views and Lake disclaims and excludes all liability (to the extent permitted by law) for losses, claims, damages, demands, costs and expenses of
whatever nature arising in any way out of or in connection with the information, its accuracy, completeness or by reason of reliance by any person on any of it. The information regarding projects described in this presentation are
based on exploration targets, apart from the Kachi project’s resource statement. The potential quantity and grade of an exploration target is conceptual in nature, with insufficient exploration to determine a mineral resource and
there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of mineral resources or that potentially economic quantities of lithium will be discovered.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this presentation, including information as to the future financial performance of the projects, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number
of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Lake Resources N.L. are inherently subject to significant technical, business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies; involve
known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results, expressed or implied, reflected in such forward-looking
statements; and may include, among other things, statements regarding targets, estimates and assumptions in respect of production and prices, operating costs and results, capital expenditures, reserves and resources and
anticipated flow rates, and are or may be based on assumptions and estimates related to future technical, economic, market, political, social and other conditions and affected by the risk of further changes in government regulations,
policies or legislation and that further funding may be required, but unavailable, for the ongoing development of Lake’s projects. Lake Resources N.L. disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “indicate”, “contemplate”, “target”, “plan”, “intends”, “continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”,
“schedule” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this announcement are qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. Lake does not undertake to update any
forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Compliance Statement
The information contained in this presentation relating to financial forecasts, production targets, exploration targets, exploration results, Measured, Indicated and Inferred resource estimates, project execution, infrastructure and
testing work, has been derived from the information in Lake’s Kachi Project Phase One Definitive Feasibility Update Study Results (“DFS Addendum”) and Lake’s Updated Ore Reserve Statement (“Ore Reserve Update”) both announced on
ASX on 4 August 2025 and mineral resource update announced on ASX on 3 June 2025. Lake confirms that it is not aware of any information that materially affects the information included in the DFS Addendum or the Ore Reserve
Update both announced on ASX on 4 August 2025 and mineral resource update announced on ASX on 3 June 2025 and all material assumptions contained in those announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed,
including all material assumptions underpinning the production targets or forecast information derived from production target, and all technical parameters underpinning the estimates of mineral resource and ore reserves. On this basis,
Lake confirms that the findings of Mr. Andrew Fulton, the Competent Person, in the DFS Addendum and the Ore Reserve Update both announced on ASX on 4 August 2025 and, in respect of Lake’s mineral resource, in the mineral resource
update announced on 3 June 2025,have not changed nor been modified in any material respects since those announcements.

Lilac Solutions has developed Gen 5 lithium extraction technology that significantly outperforms conventional methods and addresses key industry
challenges around cost, sustainability, and scalability
The Gen 5 technology delivers breakthrough performance improvements across the following critical areas:
Media productivity is 20x higher than alumina adsorbents
Lithium recovery rates increased from 90% (Gen 4) to 95%+
Extended IX media durability delivers up to 10,000 cycles before replacement
Impurity rejection of 99.9%+ (like Gen 4 IX)
Solids tolerance allows passage of 70x larger particles and avoids expensive
ultrafiltration versus alumina adsorbents
10x lower water consumption compared to alumina adsorbents
Eluate quality: 7x higher lithium concentration and higher purity with 100x lower
Li:B ratio than alumina adsorbents
For more information, refer to Lilac announcement dated 28 October 2025 and its accompanying whitepaper.

Kachi Exploitation Environmental Impact Assessment
Lake continues to advance the Exploitation EIA approval process in close
coordination with the Catamarca Environmental and Mining Ministries
Recent efforts have been focused on technical collaboration to align
environmental baselines and mitigation strategies with provincial
expectations
Lake is proactively supporting the Ministries by providing hydrological,
ecological, and socio-environmental data to ensure that all environmental
factors are properly evaluated, documented, and understood by regulatory
authorities and local stakeholders
Timing of Exploitation EIA final approval is determined and controlled by the
government of Catamarca with which Lake remains in close contact and
continuous dialogue
While the government of Catamarca has committed to completing approval
of the EIA by the end of 2025, Lake believes it is more likely approval will be
received in 2026
Exploitation EIA Approval now expected in 2026

Kachi has undergone a rigorous permitting process and has been optimized through
multiple studies
