    (Q1 2022: 1,275 metric tonnes)

Sales and Marketing:

Jervois Finland achieved Q2 2022 revenue of US$91.2
million, generated via quarterly cobalt sales volumes of 1,139 metric
tonnes, down on the previous quarter. Volatility in both end-user
demand and cobalt feed supply impacted cobalt prices and revenue.
Cobalt prices (Metal Bulletin (“

MB

”) Fastmarkets Standard Grade (“

SG

”) Low) trended down from nearly
US$40.00/lb at the end of Q1 2022 to US$26.95/lb as at 20 July 2022.
The MB Fastmarkets SG Low cobalt hydroxide payable indicator also
trended downwards, sitting at 63.0% at the same date.

Quarterly production was 1,145 metric tonnes, a
decrease of ~11% on the previous quarter. This reduction was in part
due to the planned annual maintenance shutdown in June, with also
reduced reliability experienced in global supply chains that impacted
cobalt feed availability early in the quarter.

Due to a catch up of raw materials supply late in the
quarter, along with weakened global market demand for cobalt largely
associated with Covid-19 lockdowns in China, total inventory volumes
increased across the quarter. Jervois expects cobalt inventory levels
to remain temporarily above levels typically targeted, to ensure
profitability is optimised and risk is managed relative to ongoing
supply chain challenges. Working capital is expected to normalise
during the second half of 2022, with management focussed on balancing
supply chain risk, commercial objectives, and liquidity management.

Jervois’ outlook for key market segments is
summarised below.

Batteries:

  • Short–term battery demand has softened, driven by
    Covid shutdowns in China.
  • In the current falling price environment there is very
    little spot demand for battery chemicals as customers wait for prices
    to stabilise.
  • Despite short term volatility and supply chain
    destocking initiated by China, the medium- and longer-term trend of
    significant demand growth remains intact, with significant OEM
    (automaker) interest in expanding delivery commitments over
    time.

Chemicals, Catalysts and Ceramics:

  • Catalysts: consumption at lower rates than previous,
    but stabilising. Jervois continues to see new opportunities,
    specifically in North America later this year.
  • Chemicals: consumption in key applications such as
    copper electrowinning, rubber chemicals, animal feed, plating and
    specialty chemicals remains stable, although regional demand dynamics
    vary. Supply chain adjustments activity has resulted in delayed
    shipments. In Asian markets, specifically Japan and Korea, premiums
    are lower due to increased competition associated with the previously
    mentioned Covid lockdowns in China triggering mass destocking of
    Chinese industry and cobalt trade.
  • Ceramics: demand for pigments production is slowing as
    producers mull the impact of significant energy cost increases and the
    falling cobalt price; pigment applications using cobalt are typically
    more elastic in nature, particularly relative to price inelasticity of
    other cobalt consuming industries. Cobalt usage in the smaller glass
    application segment remains stable.

Powder Metallurgy

  • Outlook for 2022 remains stable, but more customers are
    expressing concern regarding the last four months of the year as
    inflation rates increase and the possibility of a recession
    grows
  • All markets remain stable except automotive which is
    variable dependent upon customer and geography; the automotive sector
    is largely expected to remain this way until semiconductor and parts
    availability improves.
  • Aerospace continues to incrementally improve, as
    outside of China the rest of the world and associated movement of
    persons and goods normalises post Covid.

Financial Performance


2

Jervois Finland achieved Q2 2022 revenue of US$91.2
million. The Q2 2022 adjusted EBITDA of US$11.9 million compared to
US$14.9 million in the prior quarter.

Earnings Guidance

As a result of lower cobalt prices and sales volumes,
Jervois has revised EBITDA full year 2022 guidance to US$35.0 million
to US$40.0 million based on a US$27.50/lb forecast cobalt price
assumption for the remainder of the year, from US$50 million to US$55
million which was based on a US$39.75/lb forecast cobalt price
assumption at the end of Q1 2022.

Table 1: Updated 2022 EBITDA guidance for Jervois
Finland.

CY 2022 guidance update Previous guidance
2H 2022 Cobalt price (Metal Bulletin Fastmarkets
Standard Grade) – US$/lb
27.50 39.75
CY2022 sales volumes guidance – tonnes 5,500 to 5,750 5,750 to 6,000
CY2022 EBITDA guidance – US$M 35 to 40 50 to 55

Key factors that underpin the guidance update are as
follows:

    • Guidance is based on actual cobalt price (MB
      Fastmarkets SG Low) of US$36.70/lb for 1H 2022, and a forecast price
      of US$27.50/lb price the second half of the year.  The spot MB
      Fastmarkets SG Low price on 20 July 2022 was US$26.95/lb.
    • Lower sales guidance (previously 5,750 to 6,000 tonnes)
      principally due to weaker end use demand in key end use segments due
      to the factors detailed previously within the Jervois Finland cobalt
      market update.
    • Expected inventory profile for 2022 drives higher than
      average feed cost realisation in the profit and loss account in second
      half (lower than average in first half).
    • Recent declines in market cobalt hydroxide expected to
      take time to translate into cost and EBITDA benefits (new purchases
      recorded in inventory).
    • Guidance assumes constant prices for 2H 2022 – price
      volatility in the period will impact actual EBITDA outcome.

Jervois Finland Expansion Plans

In May, Jervois announced the commencement of a
Bankable Feasibility Study (“

BFS

”) to assess the expansion of its production of refined
cobalt to at least 6,000 metric tonnes of additional annual cobalt
refining capacity at Kokkola Industrial Park, Finland. Current
finished product capacity is 11,000 metric tonnes per annum of
contained cobalt, significantly higher than the refining tolling
capacity available to Jervois at Umicore’s refinery.

An expansion of refining capacity is expected to be
available in conjunction with forecast increased cobalt demand in the
second half of this decade, largely associated with rising electric
vehicle penetration.

The expansion advances the Company’s strategy to
become a globally significant supplier of speciality chemicals and
advanced manufactured cobalt products into battery and other
industries.

Initial commercial discussions with both final product
customers and refinery feed suppliers (including recyclers) are
underway.

Expansion timing will be determined in conjunction with
key customers and will not require any near-term material financial
investment for Jervois. Technical partner selection processes in
Finland are underway, covering key workstreams such as flowsheet
piloting, process engineering and environmental and other
permitting.

Idaho Cobalt Operations (“ICO”), United States

In June, Jervois announced it expected to commence
commissioning the plant at ICO in September 2022 with first ore
through the mill in October 2022 and sustainable, full rate ore
processing forecast by February 2023.

With detailed engineering, procurement, and commitments
all more than 90% complete, Jervois revised final forecast capital
expenditure to bring ICO into production to US$107.5 million (from
US$99.1 million), an increase of ~7.5%. Project construction
experienced cost pressures due to the significant United States
inflationary environment, compounded in recent months due to
contractor shortages and poor weather conditions across May and June.
Weather-related delays have affected site installation for the
accommodation camp, which is now expected to be operable in
August.

In July, ICO completed the second and final draw down
of the US$100.0 million Senior Secured Bonds (“

Bonds

”). The second draw down, of
US$51 million, follows the July 2022 visit to site by RPM Global,
engaged in its capacity as Independent Engineer on behalf of the
Bondholders. RPM Global submitted an affirmed Cost to Complete test to
the Bonds trustee, confirming ICO is fully funded to
completion.

ICO Construction and Mine Development Progress

As of June, mine development continued at ~27 feet per
day. Planned increases to underground working faces, improved water
management and road conditions, as well as additional personnel and
greater utilisation of existing and future mining equipment on site
are expected to continue

to improve mine
development productivity. Jervois and its mining contractor, Small
Mine Development, remain confident in the revised mining production
targets that underpin the capital cost update.

The SAG mill, ball mill and crusher are each in place,
and work continues with facilities construction and equipment
placement.

An official opening ceremony is scheduled at site for 7
October 2022 with expected participation of United States political
leadership and Australian government delegates.

At end June, Jervois had spent US$66.9 million of the
total capital expenditure budget. Capital expenditure in Q2 2022 was
US$25.6 million.

Drilling at ICO

The previously announced initial US$1.2 million infill
programme, commenced in Q1 2022, is set to be complete in August this
year. Infill drilling rates over 200 feet per day are being achieved
as part of a 19,000 feet underground campaign to decrease hole space
aiming to enhance ore body knowledge and de-risk early mining.

In June, Jervois approved an additional US$3.6 million
for drilling to complete additional infill and first expansion
drilling from both surface and underground platforms to further define
and expand its RAM deposit within ICO. This will take total planned
drilling footage in 2022 to 46,000 feet.

Both drilling campaigns will improve ICO’s resource
model and will be used to develop a production block model for both
short- and medium-term mining operations and will target expansion
down dip of the currently defined and known deposit. The RAM deposit
remains open at depth and along strike, and Jervois has confidence
that there exists a strong potential of both resource and reserve
expansion. Consistent with this expectation, planning is underway in
relation to Jervois’ neighbouring Sunshine deposit and historical
mineral resource, with preparations for a 2023 summer drill programme
well underway. The historical Sunshine cobalt resource is located a
short traverse to the ICO mill and concentrator currently under
construction.

ICO is a key asset in delivering Jervois’ strategy to
become a leading independent cobalt and nickel company providing
metals and minerals for the world’s energy transition through a
western supply chain. When commissioned in Q3 2022, ICO will be the
United States’ only domestic

mine supply of
cobalt, a critical mineral used in applications across industry,
defence, energy, and electric vehicles.

São Miguel Paulista (“SMP”) Nickel and Cobalt
Refinery, Brazil

In July, Jervois completed the acquisition from
Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio (“

CBA

”) of 100% of the São Miguel
Paulista nickel cobalt refinery (“

SMP

”) in São Paulo, Brazil. SMP is
Latin America’s only electrolytic class 1 nickel and cobalt
refinery, and operated successfully for over 30 years prior to being
placed on care and maintenance by CBA when its vertically integrated
mine was also closed due to low metal prices.

Total consideration to be paid for the acquisition is
R$125.0 million in cash. Jervois paid the initial R$15.0 million
payment in late 2020 when the acquisition was publicly announced and a
further R$47.5 million on closing in accordance with the previously
announced terms of the purchase agreement. The remaining R$62.5
million is to be paid on the earlier to occur of commencement of
commercial production at SMP and June 2023, per the purchase agreement
(which Jervois expects to be June 2023 based on SMP’s current
restart schedule).

A Jervois technical and commercial team is currently
working onsite at SMP undertaking detailed planning for the expected
restart.

In April, Jervois released a BFS for Stage 1 of the SMP
restart to process mixed nickel hydroxide (“

MHP

”) and cobalt hydroxide through to
metal.

Jervois forecasts to produce 10,000 metric tonnes per
annum (“

mtpa

”) and
2,000 mtpa of refined nickel and cobalt metal cathode respectively in
Stage 1, with Net Present Value (“

NPV

”) of US$228 million and US$141
million at an 8% (real) discount rate on a pre-tax and post-tax basis
respectively; nominal Internal Rate of Return (“

IRR

”) of 47% (pre-tax) and 35%
(post-tax).


3

The supplemental Stage 1 BFS, including POX for
sulphide concentrates, is due at the end Q3 2022. Engineering is
currently focused on debottlenecking, accelerating the restart and
enhancing nickel through-put capacity associated with Stage 1. Jervois
is targeting a return to the full 25,000mtpa refined nickel
production, but not at the expense of accelerated restart timing, risk
optimisation and a staged, capital efficient approach.

Nico Young Nickel-Cobalt Project, New South Wales,
Australia

Jervois’s 100%-owned Nico Young nickel and cobalt
project envisages heap leaching nickel and cobalt laterite ore to
produce either an intermediate MHP or refining through to battery
grade nickel sulphate and cobalt in refined sulphide.

Planning for Jervois’s drilling campaign at Nico
Young is well underway, with an initial focus on converting inferred
resources into the indicated category.

Corporate Activities

Liquidity

Jervois ended the June 2022 quarter with US$57.6
million in cash


(excluding restricted cash associated with the US$100 million ICO
Senior Secured Bond).

The US$51 million in the
Escrow Account (restricted cash) was subsequently released on 20 July
2022 once requisite conditions were met.

In June, Jervois announced its subsidiaries, Jervois
Suomi (Holding) Oy and Jervois Finland Oy, increased the secured loan
facility (the “

Facility

”) with Mercuria Energy Trading SA, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Mercuria Energy Group Limited, by US$75 million to
US$150 million.

Key terms of the Facility remain consistent with
Jervois’ announcement to the market on 29

October 2021.

Jervois elected to draw US$25.0 million of this
additional facility in June, taking the total balance out to US$100.0
million. Up to US$50.0 million is permitted to be transferred out of
the Jervois Finland group of companies for other general purposes in
the Jervois group including, for example, funding of the Group’s
development activities in the United States and Brazil.

At June period end total debt was US$150 million; as of
this release date, it has increased to US$200 million associated with
full drawdown of the ICO Senior Secured Bond. Cash (all unrestricted)
on hand had also increased to US$110 million associated with the final
drawdown of the ICO Senior Secured Bond, leading to net debt of US$90
million.

Jervois Annual General Meeting

At its Annual General Meeting held on 6 May 2022, all
resolutions passed via poll.

Investor Relations

Management hosted investor and equity analyst visits at
its ICO and Jervois Finland sites during the quarter as well as
participating in Canaccord Genuity’s virtual Cobalt Conference and
Morgan Stanley Australia’s Battery Materials & Clean Tech
Investor Day, both held in June.

In August, Jervois’ Chief Executive Officer, Mr.
Bryce Crocker, will present at the Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum
in Kalgoorlie, Australia.

Environmental, Social, Governance and Compliance

Jervois-Idaho Conservation League Partnership

In May, Jervois announced it had awarded US$0.15
million to three restoration projects as part of the Upper Salmon
Conservation Action Program (“

USCAP

”), created in partnership with
the Idaho Conservation League (“

ICL

”). Recipients were:

  • The Idaho Department of Fish and Game in collaboration
    with Salmon-Challis National Forest, US$0.08 million, to remove two
    problematic culverts blocking fish access to an important tributary of
    the Salmon River, which will allow endangered fish species back into a
    10-mile section of prime river habitat.
  • White Clouds Preserve, US$0.06 million, to expand
    ongoing riparian restoration work along the East Fork of the Salmon
    River, an important habitat for ESA-listed Chinook salmon, steelhead
    and bull trout.
  • Western Rivers Conservancy, US$0.02 million, to assist
    with the acquisition of a key parcel of land along Panther Creek, a
    major tributary of the Salmon River.

The USCAP supports protection and restoration of fish
and wildlife habitats, including water quality and biodiversity within
the Upper Salmon River basin. Jervois will contribute US$0.15 million
annually to USCAP throughout the operational life of ICO.

Jervois-HALO Trust Partnership

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Jervois
commenced a dollar-for-dollar matching funds programme with its
employees to support United Kingdom charity The HALO Trust
(“

HALO

”;

www.halotrust.org

). HALO

is internationally respected and renowned as the
oldest and largest humanitarian landmine clearance organisation in the
world, and

has been

entrenched in Eastern Ukraine since 2016.  HALO’s 400+
personnel based in Ukraine are trained paramedics, many of whom have
been providing medical treatment, supporting evacuations, and
providing emergency assistance under dangerous conditions.

HALO has a central role in in enabling safe
delivery of humanitarian aid and passage of aid workers, evacuees and
returnees by assessing explosives risks and clearing munitions along
transport corridors and among affected communities.

Jervois and its matched employees’ donations are
ringfenced to Ukraine, with US$0.1 million made during the quarter.

Diversity and Inclusion

During the quarter, Jervois established a Diversity and
Inclusion Working Group which will develop a roadmap of strategies and
actions to support an inclusive culture and diverse workplace. This in
line with Jervois’ core values and principles and aims to bring out
the best within our workforce, create a pipeline for promotion from
within and conditions to attract talent from outside while more
broadly yielding enhanced productivity, innovation, decision-making
and motivation.

Industry Engagement

During the quarter, Jervois participated in the Cobalt
Institute Annual Cobalt Conference in Zurich, Switzerland. Key
outcomes included training to enhance the company’s capacity to meet
the requirements of EU legislation concerning human rights and
environmental justice expectations of companies working within or with
supply chain links to EU-based companies.

Also during the quarter, Jervois joined the United
States’ Critical Materials Initiative and the National Mining
Association.

In June, Jervois took part in a panel discussion at the
prestigious SelectUSA Investment Summit in Washington, DC., with over
3,600 participants from more than 70 countries. Dr. Jennifer Hinton,
Jervois’ Group Manager – ESG, shared insights into Jervois’
experience operating in Salmon, Idaho, in a panel moderated by Ms.
Alejandra Castillo, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic
Development.
