  • Dear Shareholders and Stakeholders As of today, 4th February, Pilbara Minerals will own and take control of Latin Resources Limited. With over 15 years of dedication, hard work, and shared success, we hand over a great company to Pilbara Minerals whom, I believe, will build on our success with our Salinas lithium project in Brazil. When we began Latin Resources, our vision was to explore and build something meaningful, something that added value to our shareholders and we accomplished that. Together with our dedicated and amazing staff we faced challenges, showed resilience, celebrated victories, adapted to change, and built not just a great company, but a world class lithium asset in Minas Gerais, Brazil. As last day of CEO and Managing Director of Latin, I want to express my deepest thanks, to our employees and directors of Latin Resources and Belo Lithium —you are the heart and soul of this company. Your dedication, passion, and resilience have been extraordinary, and I am forever grateful to have worked alongside each of you. To our shareholders, stakeholders and partners — thank you for believing in us. Your trust and support has been invaluable, and we are honoured to have served you over the years. And to everyone who has been part of this journey, this brings a new beginning as Latin Resources Salinas Project is developed by one of the world’s best lithium companies, Pilbara Minerals. I wish Dale Henderson and his team all the best with Latin Resources and the continued success built over the years by our wonderful team. Thank you to everyone for over 15 years of memories, hard work, and commitment. And thank you for being part of something truly special. Regards Chris Gale
