5E Advanced Materials, Inc. FEAM
We are a development stage company focused on becoming a vertically integrated global leader and supplier of refined borates and advanced boron derivative materials whose mission is to enable decarbonization, increase food security, and ensure domestic supply of critical materials. Our business strategy and objectives are to develop capabilities ranging from upstream extraction and product sales of borates, calcium-based co-products, and potentially other byproducts such as lithium carbonate, to downstream advanced boron material processing and development. Our vision is to safely process borates and other industrial materials through sustainable best practices and a continuous improvement mindset. We hold 100% of the rights through ownership and lode claims filed with the United States Bureau of Land Management in the 5E Boron Americas (Fort Cady) Complex located in southern California (the "Project"), through our wholly owned subsidiary 5E Boron Americas (formerly Fort Cady (California) Corporation ("5EBA")). Our Project is underpinned by a mineral resource that includes boron and lithium, with the boron being contained in a conventional boron mineral known as colemanite. In 2022, our facility was designated as Critical Infrastructure by the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. We currently operate our small-scale facility (the "SSF") at the Project, which provides data and information necessary for us to ultimately establish a commercial-scale facility at the Project.
