Insights

20-ton shipment and follow-on 1,000-pound delivery validate Fort Cady output and advance U.S. boron supply plans.

5E Advanced Materials shipped 20 tons of boric acid from its Fort Cady operations and plans an additional 1,000 pounds shipment this week, confirming a production stream available for customer evaluation and qualification. The deliveries serve as operational proof points that the facility can produce merchant-grade material for downstream uses in specialty glass, energy, and defense supply chains.

Key dependencies include successful customer qualification and repeatable runs at scale; these shipments show product quality and process reliability but do not by themselves prove consistent commercial throughput or contracted demand. The designation of Fort Cady as Critical Infrastructure supports the strategic narrative but does not change near-term commercial risks tied to customer approvals and scale-up.

Watch for customer qualification outcomes, recurring shipment cadence, and any announced supply agreements over the next 12 months as concrete indicators of commercial traction. Confirmation of regular tonnage shipments and binding offtake or purchase orders will materially change the operational outlook.

Shipment Validates Operational Capability and Advances 5E's Strategy to Establish a U.S. Supply of Critical Materials

An Additional 1,000 Pounds of Product to be Shipped for Domestic Boron Carbide Production

HESPERIA, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 14, 2025 / 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. ("5E" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:FEAM)(ASX:5EA), a development stage company focused on becoming a vertically integrated global leader and supplier of refined borates and advanced boron derivative materials, today announced the shipment of 20 tons of boric acid produced from its Fort Cady operations in Southern California. Later this week, the Company plans to ship an additional 1,000 pounds of boric acid for domestic boron carbide (B4C) production.

These shipments mark important milestones as the Company advances toward commercial production. The boric acid will be delivered to potential customers for evaluation and qualification as part of 5E's ongoing engagement with downstream users in the energy, specialty glass, and defense sectors. China currently controls much of the boron carbide supply chain with limited alternative sources to secure the critical material domestically.

"Shipping 20 tons of high-quality boric acid represents an important step in our transition from development to commercial operations," said Paul Weibel, Chief Executive Officer of 5E Advanced Materials. "These shipments confirm the quality of our product and the reliability of our process technology, reinforcing confidence in our near-term production path and our mission to establish a secure, U.S. supply of boron for industries that bolster national security and drive economic export growth."

5E continues to focus on building a secure, U.S.-based supply of boron to support the energy transition, decarbonization and national security applications. The Company's Fort Cady facility remains one of the largest known undeveloped boron deposits in North America and has been designated Critical Infrastructure by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
