5 Lithium Needs and Applications Lithium is in short supply right now, as of the year 2016, and its use is critical in rechargeable batteries, nuclear power, space travel and more Net market demand increase projection from 2010 to 2025 is 800% Herein lies the need to aggressively pursue Lithium recovery Cat Water Treatment can remove lithium selectively for mineral recovery Additionally, metals such as nickel and aluminum can also be recovered for re-use Sources to be mined include: Brine from shale formations Discarded lithium ion batteries Landfill leachate Centralized water treatment facilities You provide the water source, we mine the minerals of interest and render the remaining water stream to the specifications you require for water re-use, recycling, or for safe environmental discharge 5 / Caterpillar Confidential: YELLOW / Cat Water Treatment

6 Commercial and Operational Benefits Cat Water Treatment equipment is mobile, scalable & relocatable, and provides the following benefits: selectively isolates and removes Lithium and other metal ion species according to the desired outcome and availability within a given water source is able to recover Lithium even when the water matrix has high suspended and dissolved solids, bacteria, soluble and insoluble oil and grease, COD, and other constituents recovers other valuable metal ion species, and can address water hardness, anions and salts, and other problematic water constituents making your water a natural resource for Lithium; and the remaining water can be made safe for re-use, recycling or safe environmental discharge dewaters the solids that are removed from the water matrix, therefore reducing or completely eliminating need for further 3 rd party or onsite sludge dewatering In addition, Cat Water Treatment also offers the following: Improves water treatment methods, management logistics, and sourcing avenues for lithium Provides a variety of environmentally feasible uses for formerly toxic and/or high mineral content streams, now rendered reusable, or may be safely discharged to the environment 6 / Caterpillar Confidential: YELLOW / Cat Water Treatment
