Kentucky Facility Update
Further Investment in New Carbon Processing, LLC
HIGHLIGHTS

• Kiln construction completed, with refractory installation underway
• Bagging systems, silos, and sundry power station works in final installation phase ahead of

carbon market
Carbonxt Group Ltd (ASX: CG1) (Carbonxt or the Company) advises that an additional US$750,000 has been
funded to New Carbon Processing, LLC, increasing Carbonxt’s ownership interest to 45.9%. This represents
continued progress toward the Company’s 50% ownership target in the Kentucky activated carbon facility,
which remains a cornerstone asset in Carbonxt’s U.S. growth strategy.
Further details of the associated funding are contained in the Convertible Note and Placement announcement
released concurrently today.
Construction and Commissioning Update
The kiln at the Kentucky facility has now been fully constructed, following additional insulation work that has
improved the thermal efficiency and maintained external temperatures below 100°F. The refractory lining is
currently being installed by the kiln manufacturer, after which the heat-treating process will commence.
At the same time, installation of the bagging equipment, conveyors, and additional silos is being completed to
prepare for commissioning. The kiln is expected to be operable in November, with initial sample production to
follow shortly thereafter. The onsite power station is also scheduled to be commissioned in November, in
conjunction with the plant’s startup.
Strategic Importance
Once operational, the Kentucky facility will increase Carbonxt’s total sales by approximately 200% and enable
entry into the liquid-phase activated carbon market, a segment several times larger than the Company’s
existing air-phase markets.
The facility is designed to produce premium grade activated carbon for PFAS filtration, wastewater treatment,
and industrial emission control, directly aligned with tightening U.S. EPA standards and the accelerating
demand for domestic, sustainable supply chains.

Managing Director Warren Murphy commented:
“The Kentucky project has reached its final stages of construction, with commissioning now in sight. The
latest investment increases our ownership position and secures our participation in one of the fastest-
growing segments of the activated carbon market. This facility will materially expand our production
business and strengthen Carbonxt’s position as a domestic U.S. supplier for both air and water purification
markets.”
Next Steps
• Complete refractory lining and final heat treatment of the kiln during October.
• Commission power and back-end systems in November.
• Produce first activated carbon samples for internal testing and customer qualification.
• Progress to initial commercial production and first material sales in early 2026.
