Gunnison Copper – Nuton (fka Excelsior-Nuton) (48C Self-Disclosed)

Gunnison Copper - Nuton is a partnership comprised of Gunnison Copper Corp. fka Excelsior Mining Arizona, Inc. (?Gunnison Copper?), and Nuton LLC (?Nuton?), a Rio Tinto technology venture. Both Gunnison and Rio Tinto have historically focused on copper extraction and production, investing in developing more sustainable practices. Gunnison Copper will undertake operations at the Johnson Camp Mine in Arizona using the Nuton Technologies to recover hard to extract primary sulfide ore. Expanding existing facilities, the Project will produce 99.999% pure, Grade A copper cathode, which is ready for domestic manufacturers. The Nuton Technologies produce a low-impact copper cathode compared to conventional technologies.

Framatome Inc. 1(48C Self-Disclosed)

Framatome's project entails modification of an existing uranium processing facility originally designed and licensed for processing uranium enriched up to 5 wt% 235U, commonly known as LEU (low enriched uranium). The investments in this facility will not only advance manufacturing capability but will also assure that essential scrap, unirradiated uranium recycling capabilities are also upgraded. These modifications will increase the allowable enrichment that can be safely received and processed to a higher, economically and environmentally beneficial level for use in building light water reactor (LWR) fuel.

ESM ATLiS, LLC & Energy Source Minerals, LCC (48C Self-Disclosed)

EnergySource Minerals, LLC ("ESM") is a privately held company leading the development of Project ATLiS, a premier lithium project located in Imperial County, California (the "Project" or "Project ATLiS"). The Project will result in the extraction and production of battery-spec lithium products utilizing spent geothermal brines from the Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area ("SSKGRA"). The Project aids in ESM's mission to domestically produce low cost, low carbon, lithium products that are safe and efficient to operate. The Project is located adjacent to the existing Featherstone geothermal power plant ("Featherstone Plant"), which includes a fully built geothermal power production facility, production and injection well field, power, and water utilities. The Project will create up to 450 direct construction jobs and 71 direct operations, manufacturing, and asset management jobs after the Project is operational. ESM, in coordination with its EnergySource LLC ("EnergySource") affiliate, has specialized in geothermal power operations and development on the SSKGRA since 2006. ESM has an experienced commercial development team executing the Project, including members of the Featherstone Plant development team, industry experts in lithium, and world class vendors and their engineering teams. The Project includes the construction and operation of a new 25-acre manufacturing facility in Imperial County, CA (the "Facility") to produce approximately 20,000 metric tons ("tonnes") per annum battery quality lithium hydroxide monohydrate ("LHM") from geothermal brines. The Facility will be located on 80 acres of land that is adjacent to the Featherstone Plant which will supply feedstock brine for the Project. The Facility is close to the town of Calipatria, on the eastern shore of the Salton Sea (33° 12'15.45" N, 115° 34'35.60" W - approximately 200 miles (320 km) from Los Angeles and nearby Port of Long Beach). The LHM produced from this Project will be fully utilized for battery powered electric vehicles ("EVs").

Electric Hydrogen Co. (48C Self-Disclosed)

Electric Hydrogen is leveraging American innovation and manufacturing expertise to produce its product at industrial scale with the establishment of its Gigafactory in Devens, MA. This facility will be among the largest electrolyzer factories in the world, providing U.S. green hydrogen developers with high-performance, domestically manufactured electrolyzers at lower cost than Chinese produced systems. Once fully ramped to its 1.2 GW per year capacity, the gigafactory's stacks will generate enough green hydrogen to eliminate up to 2.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. The Devens gigafactory's first electrolyzer stacks will be shipped later this year to a customer-sited project in southeast Texas.
