Research Coverage by VSA Capital

Alkemy Capital Investments plc ("Alkemy") (ALK:LSE) (JV2:FRA) is pleased to announce that international investment banking and broking firm, VSA Capital ("VSA"), has published an updated research note on the Company.

The research note follows recent announcements from Alkemy regarding advancements on feedstock negotiations for Tees Valley Lithium's lithium hydroxide refinery in Teesside and the completion of a class 4 feasibility study for Port Hedland Lithium's lithium sulphate refinery located at the Boodarie Strategic Industrial Area in Western Australia.

VSA commented:

"The progress is positive and as yet the market has not priced in success. We continue to believe that the company's strategy positions it to achieve these major milestones that would unlock significant value and expedite the project financing process and options.

Currently, little of the recent progress in terms of engineering studies, planning permission and feedstock has been reflected in the share price.

We reiterate our Speculative Buy recommendation and increase our target price to £15.30/sh."

NOTES TO EDITORS

Alkemy is seeking to establish the world's leading independent and sustainable lithium hydroxide production by developing state-of-the-art lithium sulphate and lithium hydroxide facilities in Australia and the UK.

Alkemy, through its wholly-owned UK subsidiary Tees Valley Lithium, has secured a 9.6 ha brownfields site with full planning permission at the Wilton International Chemicals Park in Teesside, a major UK Freeport, to build the UK's first and Europe's largest lithium hydroxide processing facility. Tees Valley Lithium has completed a Class 4 Feasibility Study for its proposed lithium hydroxide refinery which will process feedstock imported from various sources to produce 96,000 tonnes of premium, low-carbon lithium hydroxide annually, representing around 15% of Europe's projected demand.

Alkemy, through its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary Port Hedland Lithium, has secured a 43.7 ha site near Port Hedland, Western Australia to build a world-class sustainable lithium sulphate refinery that will provide reliable feedstock for Tees Valley Lithium's refinery. Port Hedland Lithium has completed a Class 4 Feasibility Study for its proposed lithium sulphate refinery, each train of which will process spodumene concentrate to produce 40,000 tonnes of lithium sulphate annually.
