PMET is closing in on a key economic assessment of a huge lithium project in Canada. The project is set to be the fifth biggest budget main producer in the world. Meaning it is ideally placed to be a key supplier to North American and European markets looking to diversify from China. Guest Bio Ken Brinsden is CEO, President and Director of PMET Resources (ASX: PMT / TSX: PMET). He is a Mining Engineer with nearly 30 years of experience across surface and underground mining operations, spanning mine management, production, brownfield and greenfield development, and executive and board leadership across multiple commodities. Ken graduated from the Western Australian School of Mines in 1993 and has held roles at WMC Resources, Normandy, Central Norseman Gold Corporation, GoldFields, Iluka Resources and Atlas Iron. He joined Pilbara Minerals as Chief Executive Officer in January 2016 and was appointed Managing Director and CEO in May of that year, leading the company's transformation from a junior explorer into one of the world's leading lithium raw materials producers and achieving entry to the ASX 100. Ken is a member of the London Metal Exchange's Lithium Committee and is now based in Québec, where he is leading the development of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Project — the largest lithium pegmatite resource in the Americas.

Key Insights PMET's Shaakichiuwaanaan Project Is Positioned to Become One of the World's Largest Lithium ProducersLocated in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of northern Québec, the Shaakichiuwaanaan Project holds the largest lithium pegmatite resource in the Americas. PMET's completed CV5 Feasibility Study targets production of up to 800,000 tonnes per year of spodumene concentrate at full capacity, which would place it in the top five hard rock lithium operations globally — a scale Ken Brinsden compares directly to the industry benchmark, Greenbushes. Stationary Energy Storage and EV Trucking Are the Demand Forces the Market Is Underestimating Brinsden reveals that stationary battery energy storage now accounts for 40% of global lithium-ion battery demand — a figure unthinkable just 18 months ago. He argues the next wave is diesel replacement in commercial trucking, enabled by megawatt-scale charging and larger battery packs, and that the compounding effect of cheaper cells across new applications means the market will continue to be surprised by the pace of demand growth. Shaakichiuwaanaan Is a Rare Triple-Commodity Critical Minerals Asset Beyond its world-class lithium endowment, the Shaakichiuwaanaan property hosts the world's largest known pollucite-hosted caesium deposit — located in the CV13 pegmatite — as well as one of the largest tantalum resources globally. Caesium is used in oil and gas drilling fluids, industrial catalysts and pharmaceuticals; tantalum is in strong demand for electronics, defence and aerospace. Brinsden explains how both co-products will contribute meaningful cost credits when the expanded feasibility study is released. Volkswagen's PowerCo and Koch Technology Solutions Provide Strategic Validation at Scale In a first for the Volkswagen Group, the automaker has taken a direct equity stake in PMET and signed a 10-year lithium spodumene offtake agreement through its battery subsidiary PowerCo. PMET has also launched a relationship with Koch Technology Solutions — a major US industrial conglomerate — focused on advancing value-added caesium chemicals production from Shaakichiuwaanaan, deepening the project's integration into North American critical minerals supply chains. Government Backing From Canada and Germany Underpins the Path to Mine Authorisation PMET has received letters of support from Export Development Canada and Germany's KfW IPEX-Bank as it advances through the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment process. Brinsden sees Canada's drive to diversify its supply chains — particularly in the context of shifting geopolitical dynamics and its deepening ties with Europe — as a powerful structural tailwind for Shaakichiuwaanaan as it targets a final investment decision in the second half of 2027.
