About the Defense Industrial Base Consortium

The Defense Industrial Base Consortium is a U.S. Department of Defense-supported consortium established to strengthen, expand, and modernise the U.S. defense industrial base through enhanced collaboration among government agencies, industry, academia, and emerging suppliers.

Operating under an Other Transaction Authority ("OTA") framework and managed by Advanced Technology International ("ATI"), the DIBC provides a flexible mechanism to accelerate research, development, prototyping, and production activities that support critical national security objectives.

The consortium supports the mission of the Department of Defense's Warfighter Investment, Resourcing and Execution ("WIRE") Office by helping address supply chain vulnerabilities, strengthening critical manufacturing capabilities, developing the industrial workforce, accelerating the commercialisation of research and development, and supporting the deployment of emerging technologies.

The DIBC currently includes approximately 1,500 member organizations across a broad range of strategic sectors and was established to:

- Strengthen U.S. supply chain resilience;
- Support Defense Production Act and related strategic investments;
- Accelerate commercialization of innovative technologies;
- Expand and develop the industrial workforce;
- Facilitate participation by non-traditional suppliers in the defense market; and
- Promote collaboration and rapid innovation across the defense industrial ecosystem.

The consortium forms an important component of the U.S. Government's broader strategy to develop secure, resilient, and scalable domestic supply chains for materials and technologies considered critical to national security.

DIBC members have expertise in a wide range of critical sectors as follows (Figure 1*).

Strategic Importance for Resolution

Resolution believes that membership in the DIBC will enhance the Company's ability to engage with stakeholders across government and industry as it advances its U.S.-based antimony and tungsten development strategy.

Antimony and tungsten are both recognised as critical minerals by the U.S. Government due to their importance in defense, aerospace, energy, and advanced manufacturing applications. Resolution's Horse Heaven Project in Idaho is strategically positioned to contribute to the development of domestic sources of these critical materials.

It is part of the DoD's broader strategy to build a resilient, secure, and scalable industrial ecosystem capable of responding to national security crises.

Craig Lindsay, Resolution's CEO - US Operations, commented:

"Resolution's acceptance into the Defense Industrial Base Consortium represents an important milestone in our strategy to help establish secure domestic supplies of antimony and tungsten in the United States.

Through DIBC membership, we gain access to a network of government agencies, industry participants, and potential funding opportunities that can support the advancement of our projects. We believe the consortium provides an effective platform to demonstrate the strategic importance of our assets and to engage with stakeholders focused on strengthening U.S. critical mineral supply chains.

As the United States continues to prioritise domestic production of critical minerals, Resolution is committed to working collaboratively with government agencies, regulators, industry partners, and local communities to advance responsible exploration and development activities that contribute to national security and economic resilience."

Next Steps

As previously announced, Resolution's drilling program at the Horse Heaven Project in Idaho is progressing as planned. The program is designed to advance the Company's understanding of the project's antimony and tungsten potential and support future development planning.

In parallel with its exploration activities, Resolution intends to expand its engagement with government agencies, members of Congress, industry stakeholders, and defense-related organizations to further highlight the strategic importance of establishing domestic supplies of critical minerals within the United States.

The Company will continue to evaluate funding opportunities, strategic partnerships, and government-supported initiatives that may assist in accelerating the development of its critical minerals' portfolio.
