NANO ONE REPORTS Q4 2023 RESULTS AND PROVIDES PROGRESS UPDATE

Nano One Materials Corp. has filed its audited annual consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) as at and for the year ended Dec. 31, 2023, and has provided the following highlights.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

On December 6, 2023, the Company announced the results of a third-party LCA report which demonstrated the environmental and economic benefits of Nano One's technologies including 50% fewer green house gas ("GHG") emissions and 80% less water use, when considering lithium iron phosphate ("LFP") and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide ("NMC") production benchmarked against the complexity and energy intensity of conventional CAM processes operating in various jurisdictions.

Automotive OEM Validates Nano One LFP and Kicks Off Tonne-Scale Evaluations

On December 19, 2023, the Company announced it had confirmed orders for approximately 1.3 tonnes of LFP samples made from its pilot plant for the purposes of commercial evaluation, collaboration and securing offtake agreements with collaborators in the automotive, energy storage systems, defence, and industrial sectors.

2023 Q4 - Financial PositionCash and cash equivalent position of $31.9 million at year end.Working capital of $30.1 million at year end.Total assets of $53.0M at year end.Total liabilities of $5.5M with no long-term debt at year end.

2023 - Earlier Headlines

2023 saw a global shift towards LFP batteries that could eventually mirror the 60-70% market share that LFP already has in China. This shift is driven by lower costs and safety, by battery pack energy densities and electric vehicle ("EV") range now on par with NMC, and by the need to diversify supply chains away from foreign entities of concern. Nano One's One-Pot LFP addresses these needs by driving down cost, complexity and GHG emissions in the supply chain, by enabling refined critical mineral inputs that can be easily sourced in free-trade jurisdictions, and by eliminating waste streams that are difficult to permit in western countries.

The Company has also achieved significant milestones on its commercialization roadmap including the recommissioning of its recently acquired Candiac LFP production facility. Testing, piloting and showcasing of LFP is underway in full scale equipment that demonstrates the commercial, environmental and security advantages of producing of LFP using the One-Pot process. A significant outcome from these achievements is the September 2023 C$17M strategic investment made by Sumitomo Metal Mining ("SMM") and the resulting collaboration to accelerate the commercial adoption of the One-Pot process for LFP and NMC through potential licensing and joint venture opportunities. SMM is a world-renowned miner, refiner and producer of cathode active materials dating back to applications in early portable electronics and the emergence of hybrid and fully electric vehicles.Secured $17M investment and collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Mining.Awarded $10M in grant funds from SDTC.Successfully completed NMC evaluations with global OEM and expanded collaboration to include LFP.Demonstrated, de-risked and fast-tracked tonne-scale sampling of One-Pot LFP.Completed pre-feasibility study ("FEL2") of 12,500 tpa LFP production line.Laid out commercialization plans for LFP and other materials.Signed JDA with Our Next Energy to collaborate on the validation, qualification, and production of a North American supply of LFP CAM.Japan: Formation of lithium metal oxide cathodes from elemental metal.

2024 Q1 - Corporate Milestones and Developments

Additional Lithium Battery Manufacturing Patents added in Asia

On February 21, 2024, the Company announced the addition of four new patents in Asia, thereby expandingits portfolio to 40 patents with 55+ pending. These additional patents showcased the depth and global relevance of Nano One's innovative One-Pot process. They also added to shareholder value and Nano One's technology offering while enhancing Nano One's leadership position and safeguarding commercial advantages. The issued patents were as follows:Taiwan: Battery enhancement using simplified electrolyte and One-Pot cathode.China and Korea: Simultaneous formation of coating and cathode in single step.

Feasibility Study (FEL3) Study

On February 27, 2024, the Company announced the commencement of a feasibility study ("FEL3") for a 25,000 tpa LFP commercial plant to support customer offtake, feedstock supply, and future project funding efforts. The plant design will also form the basis of Nano One's turn-key Design-Once-Build-Many strategy to address the broader LFP market. The FEL3 study will provide an optimal production line layout and maximum utility of key equipment. Furthermore, this study will address Nano One's mid-to-longer-term objective of deploying multi-line facilities under license or joint venture with partners in Asian, Indo-Pacific, North American and European jurisdictions. Progress at Nano One's pilot plant has helped de-risk, improve, and optimize the One-Pot process for LFP in commercial scale equipment while informing engineering plans and providing confidence to Nano One's collaborators on the long-term competitive viability of Nano One's CAM production technologies.
