Stage 2 Program to lock in the RCL flowsheet, produce first high-purity titanium, vanadium and iron products, and establish engineering criteria for future pilot-scale testingHighlightsRCL moves from validation into detailed optimization: Temas and SAGA have commenced Stage 2 of the RCL metallurgical program, following Stage 1 recoveries of up to 90.8% titanium, 97.4% vanadium, and 91.5% iron.Turning strong recoveries into a defined flowsheet: Stage 2 will optimize RCL leaching and downstream solvent extraction for titanium, vanadium and iron, with the objective of establishing reproducible operating parameters and preliminary process design criteria.First merchant quality-product samples in sight: Stage 2 will generate sufficient pregnant leach solution for downstream solvent extraction ("SX") testing and is designed to deliver first samples of high-purity titanium, vanadium and iron products.Clear line of sight to pilot-scale: The eight-week Stage 2 program is designed to inform a Gate 2 decision that, subject to successful completing and approval, could advance the work to a proposed C$650,000-C$750,000 mini-pilot program, providing further RCL generated cashflow to Temas.Built for PEA/PFS-level evaluation: The program is designed to deliver the initial engineering and metallurgical data required to support future project evaluation and 500-1,000 kg pilot-scale testing.Another commercial proof point for the RCL technology platform: Advancing the SAGA program adds further third-party application of RCL and supports Temas' strategy of developing the technology for licensing, partnerships, joint ventures and commercial deployment.Why this Matters to Investors1. RCL is moving from "proof of concept" toward a defined commercial processStage 1 established that RCL can extract titanium, vanadium and iron from SAGA's mineralization at high recoveries. Stage 2 looks to define answers to the questions: how the process performs when optimized, how the downstream separation circuit is configured, and what the products look like. This is an important step in progressing a technology that works to a process that can be built.2. Stage 2 sets a defined pathway to pilot-scale and economic evaluationThis is not open-ended laboratory work. The program is built around defined technical deliverables and a decision point on establishing a pilot study. Successful completion is intended to set the process design criteria for mini-pilot testing, followed by larger-scale testing and engineering work de-risking the flowsheet gate by gate on the path to PEA/PFS-level evaluation.3. SAGA is a real-world, third-party platform for commercializing RCLSAGA shows RCL applied to mineralization controlled by a third party and advanced through a structured development program. Each completed stage strengthens the technical foundation for technology licensing, strategic partnerships, joint ventures and other commercial opportunities across critical mineral projects.
