(<font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">NASDAQ: </font>DFLI), an industry leader in energy storage, announced a commercial offtake agreement partnership that will strengthen U.S. battery supply chains and invest in the production and manufacturing of Nevada-sourced lithium. The
          agreement between the two Nevada-based companies is expected to pave the way for continued investment in the state and provide Dragonfly with a domestic supply of lithium carbonate, a critical component in lithium iron phosphate battery cells.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div style="text-align: justify;">The agreement builds on an effort to produce, utilize and recycle lithium, closing the lithium loop in Nevada that Gov. Joe Lombardo has prioritized for his administration, detailed in both his recent State of the
          State address and his Five Year Strategic Plan.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">&#8220;This agreement between Dragonfly Energy and Ioneer, and hopefully more like it in the future, are vital to our economy as we work to develop this new industry, secure
          Nevada&#8217;s energy independence and close the lithium loop,&#8221; said <font style="font-weight: bold;">Nevada Governor Lombardo</font>. &#8220;In the future, we hope to see more Nevada companies creating innovative partnerships like this one, which will help
          strengthen our economy and demonstrate how Nevada is the lithium capital of North America.&#8221;</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&#8220;</font>As the world&#8217;s demand for lithium in electric vehicle and energy storage increases, the need to secure a reliable, sustainable, and domestic source of
          lithium is critical. <font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Ioneer is pleased to partner with Dragonfly and deliver these critical materials from Rhyolite Ridge,</font>&#8221; said Bernard Rowe, managing director and CEO at Ioneer.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">&#8220;Deploying our innovative dry powder coating cell manufacturing process is exciting. But ultimately, cell production is only made possible by access to lithium,&#8221; Dr. Denis
          Phares, CEO of Dragonfly Energy, said. &#8220;This agreement gives us the opportunity to bring our entire manufacturing process not only to the U.S. but to Nevada, from mining to manufacturing to recycling.&#8221;</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div style="text-align: justify;">The agreement demonstrates <font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Ioneer&#8217;s tremendous value to the American supply chain. Rhyolite Ridge is one of the most sophisticated undeveloped U.S. lithium projects, and one of
            few in the world where lithium will be extracted and refined locally. Once federal permitting and construction is complete, Rhyolite Ridge is expected to quadruple current U.S. lithium output. </font>The agreement also moves Dragonfly Energy
          closer to achieving the company&#8217;s mission of establishing a vertically integrated lithium battery cycle, from mining to cell and pack production to recycling.</div>

        <div>&#160;</div>
        <div style="text-align: justify;">Ioneer Ltd is the 100% owner of the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project located in Nevada, USA, the only known lithium-boron deposit in North America and one of only two known such deposits in the world. The
          Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) completed in 2020 confirmed Rhyolite Ridge as a world-class lithium and boron project that is expected to become a globally significant, long-life, low-cost source of lithium and boron vital to a sustainable
          future. In September 2021, Ioneer entered into an agreement with Sibanye-Stillwater where, following the satisfaction of conditions precedent, Sibanye-Stillwater will acquire a 50% interest in the Project, with Ioneer maintaining a 50% interest
          and retaining the operational management responsibility for the joint venture. In January 2023, Ioneer received a conditional commitment from the U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office for up to $700 million of debt financing. Ioneer
          signed separate offtake agreements with Ford Motor Company and PPES (joint venture between Toyota and Panasonic) in 2022 and Korea&#8217;s EcoPro Innovation in 2021.</div>

        <div style="text-align: justify;">This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements and comments about future events, including Ioneer&#8217;s expectations about the Project and the performance of its businesses. Forward looking statements
          can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as &#8216;expect&#8217;, &#8216;anticipate&#8217;, &#8216;likely&#8217;, &#8216;intend&#8217;, &#8216;should&#8217;, &#8216;could&#8217;, &#8216;may&#8217;, &#8216;predict&#8217;, &#8216;plan&#8217;, &#8216;propose&#8217;, &#8216;will&#8217;, &#8216;believe&#8217;, &#8216;forecast&#8217;, &#8216;estimate&#8217;, &#8216;target&#8217; and other similar
          expressions within the meaning of securities laws of applicable jurisdictions. Indications of, and guidance on, the Conditional Commitment, financing plans, future earnings or financial position or performance are also forward-looking statements.</div>
        <div>&#160;</div>
        <div style="text-align: justify;">Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there is a risk that such predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be
          achieved. Forward-looking statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied on as an indication or guarantee of future performance. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainty and other factors
          which can cause Ioneer&#8217;s actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates, and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements and many of these factors are outside the control of Ioneer. Such risks
          include, among others, uncertainties related to the finalisation, execution, and funding of the DOE financing, including our ability to successfully negotiate definitive agreements and to satisfy any funding conditions, as well as other
          uncertainties and risk factors set out in filings made from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Australian Securities Exchange.&#160; As such, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statement. Past
          performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance and no representation or warranty is made by any person as to the likelihood of achievement or reasonableness of any forward-looking statements, forecast financial information or other
          forecast. Nothing contained in this announcement, nor any information made available to you is, or shall be relied upon as, a promise, representation, warranty or guarantee as to the past, present or the future performance of Ioneer.</div>
