FRONTIER LITHIUM FILES YEAR-END MARCH 31, 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
FY2025 Highlights and Recent Developments
As at March 31, 2025, Frontier held approximately $17.9 million in cash, an increase from $12.6 million the prior year period. The increase was driven by a strategic financing, including proceeds from the previously announced Mitsubishi Corporation joint venture transaction. Frontier's financial position will allow it to execute on the next phase of its project development.
Feasibility Study Confirms Robust Mine & Mill Project
In May 2025, Frontier released results of its independent Mine and Mill Feasibility Study ("Feasibility Study"), demonstrating strong project economics for the standalone development of its PAK and Spark deposits. The Feasibility Study outlined average annual production of 200,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate (SC6) over a 31-year mine life, with an after-tax net present value of $932 million at an 8% discount rate and an internal rate of return of 17.9%. C1 operating costs for the project are estimated at $602 per tonne of SC6 and these metrics position the project to be among one of the most competitive globally.
Advancing Environmental and Infrastructure Work
Frontier continued work on environmental baseline studies to support permitting efforts. Through Canada's Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund, the Company secured up to $6 million in non-repayable funding for pre-construction activities on mine access and power infrastructure.
Significant Government Support for Downstream Facility
In March 2025, the federal and Ontario governments jointly announced conditional funding to support Frontier's proposed lithium salts conversion facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The funding will supplement capital costs for the facility, which is intended to supply North American cathode and battery makers.
Exploration Success and Ember Pegmatite Discovery
The Company completed over 11,000 metres of drilling in FY 2025, including geomechanical, hydrogeological, and condemnation drilling in support of project feasibility. A new lithium-bearing zone, the Ember pegmatite, was identified 1 kilometre from the Spark deposit. Initial drilling at the Ember Pegmatite has confirmed high-grade mineralization beneath a surface outcrop previously sampled through channel sampling.
Land Secured for Lithium Chemical Facility
In February 2025, Frontier secured a vacant industrial site on Mission Island in Thunder Bay, Ontario to host its proposed lithium conversion facility. The purchase was funded by a $3.35 million unsecured convertible loan that was completed in February 2025.
Outlook
With one of North America's highest-grade spodumene resources, a positive feasibility study, a global strategic partner, and strong government support for downstream infrastructure, Frontier is well positioned to become a key player in North America's critical minerals supply chain. The Company will focus on advancing project permitting, completing technical studies, and finalizing Indigenous partnership agreements. Feasibility work on the lithium conversion facility will continue in parallel, with the goal of converting strong expressions of interest from both the Federal Government and Provincial Government of Ontario into contribution agreements.
