    <div style="font-family: Calibri,'sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Ioneer Ltd. is an emerging lithium&#8211;boron producer and the 100% owner of the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project. Rhyolite Ridge is one of only a small number of lithium-boron ore
      deposits globally and a linchpin project in Nevada&#8217;s burgeoning Lithium Loop.</div>

    <div style="font-family: Calibri,'sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Rhyolite Ridge closed a US$996 million loan with the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s Energy Dominance Financing Program in January 2025. In October 2024, Ioneer received the final federal
      permit for the project from the Bureau of Land Management, concluding the formal federal permitting process which began in early 2020. Ioneer signed separate offtake agreements with Ford Motor Company and Prime Planet Energy &amp; Solutions (joint
      venture between Toyota and Panasonic) in 2022 and Korea&#8217;s EcoPro Innovation in 2021.</div>

    <font style="font-size: 10pt;"></font>
    <div style="font-family: Calibri,'sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <br>
    </div>
    <div style="font-family: Calibri,'sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">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 style="font-family: Calibri,'sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <br>
    </div>
    <div style="font-family: Calibri,'sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">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. 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 forwardlooking 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>
