(\"FCL\" or the\n\"Company\") (TSXV: FCLI; OTCQB: FCLIF, FSE: K0Q's ), a leading U.S.-based\nmanufacturer of lithium-ion battery fire extinguishing products, is pleased to\nannounce today the resounding success of its live lithium battery burn\ndemonstration held late May in Fort McMurray, Alberta. The event, attended by\nrepresentatives of major oilsands producers, national railway, local fire\ndepartments, and health and safety professionals, showcased FCL's\nFCL-X™ suppression systems — the only technology in the world proven to\nquickly and completely extinguish lithium battery fires across a wide spectrum\nof battery types used in heavy industry.\n\nThe Fort McMurray region sits at the heart of Canada's oilsands industry, home\nto some of the world's largest and most capital-intensive industrial\noperations. Lithium-ion batteries have become indispensable to daily site\noperations — powering everything from autonomous heavy machinery, haul\ntrucks, and mobile equipment to mission-critical backup power systems and\nremote monitoring infrastructure. With that integration comes extraordinary\nrisk. A single thermal runaway event on a large-format industrial battery can\nescalate within seconds, releasing toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride\n(HF), carbon monoxide (CO), and methane (1,) threatening lives, destroying\nequipment, and triggering regulatory shutdowns with multi-million-dollar\nconsequences.\n\nA Demonstration That Left No Doubt\nDuring the live demonstration, FCL ignited lithium-ion batteries representing\nmultiple chemistries and form factors commonly deployed across oilsands\noperations and backup power configuration battery arrays. In each case,\nFCL-X™ achieved rapid, full suppression — halting thermal runaway,\neliminating re-ignition risk, and neutralizing toxic gas emissions — with a\nspeed and efficiency that left attending operators and fire service\nprofessionals visibly impressed.\n\nUnlike conventional suppression approaches — which are largely ineffective\nagainst lithium battery fires and can require tens of thousands of litres of\nwater over many hours((2)) — FCL-X™  works through a proprietary\nchemical mechanism that directly interrupts the electrochemical chain reaction\nat the core of thermal runaway. The result: fires that traditional suppression\nsystems cannot control are extinguished decisively by FCL-X™.\n\n\"The reaction from operators and fire services was immediate. When they\nwatched FCL-X™ fully shut down live battery fires of different chemistries\nin real time — no re-ignition, no residual thermal risk — it confirmed\nwhat we have always known: FCL-X™ is not an incremental improvement, it is a\ncategory of one. There is nothing else like it anywhere in the world\",\ncommented Carlos Vicens, Chief Executive Officer, FCL.\n\nThe oilsands sector hosts some of the highest concentrations of large-format\nlithium-battery assets in Canada. Battery-powered equipment fleets are rapidly\nexpanding as operators pursue electrification to meet emissions targets and\nreduce fuel costs. Meanwhile, stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS)\nare being deployed across remote and urban-edge facilities to provide power\nbackup and grid support.\n\nThe risks posed by these batteries are well-documented and sobering. Research\npublished in the International Journal of Coal Science & Technology\nconfirmed that thermal runaway incidents in underground mining and heavy\nindustrial settings pose a severe risk to personnel and infrastructure, as\nconfined environments amplify heat damage and the accumulation of toxic gases\n((3)). The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has\nspecifically studied the explosion risks posed by lithium battery thermal\nrunaway in mining enclosures ((4)). The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health\nAdministration (OSHA) reported approximately 25,000 lithium battery-related\nfire incidents spanning more than 400 device types during 2012–2017 alone\n((5)).\n\nIn June 2024, a lithium battery factory fire in Hwaseong, South Korea,\nresulted in 23 deaths, with workers reportedly rendered unconscious within\nseconds from toxic gas exposure((6)). In January 2025, the Moss Landing BESS\nfacility in California — the world's largest battery storage site —\nsuffered a catastrophic fire, forcing the evacuation of approximately 1,200\nresidents due to toxic smoke plumes((7)). In May 2024, a BESS fire at the\nGateway Energy Storage Facility in San Diego burned for five days, with\ncontinued flare-ups ((8)).\n\nMining-specific incidents are equally alarming. Australian mining regulators\nhave documented lithium battery fires aboard open-cut mine vehicles,\nunderground chargers, and equipment involved in on-site accidents — all\nresulting in thermal runaways, fires, and associated personnel and capital\nrisks ((9)). NIOSH research confirmed that explosion-proof enclosures used in\nmining environments can fail to contain a lithium battery thermal runaway\nevent((4)).\n\nNo Other Global Solution Exists\nFull Circle Lithium's FCL-X™ is the only known solution capable of quickly\nand fully extinguishing live lithium battery fires across multiple battery\ntypes in an industrial setting. While water-based suppression, sand\ninundation, and containment vessels have been explored or deployed in limited\nscenarios, none address the underlying electrochemical mechanism of thermal\nrunaway, nor have they demonstrated the complete suppression performance\nachieved by FCL-X™.\n\nFor oilsands companies, local fire departments, and health and safety\nprofessionals in the Fort McMurray region and beyond, this is not merely a\nproduct advantage — it is a decisive answer to a problem with no other\nsolution.\n\n\"Fort McMurray was a pivotal moment — not just for Full Circle Lithium, but\nfor the entire oilsands industry. We are now in active discussions with\nmultiple regional operators and local fire departments, and we fully expect\nthese conversations to translate into meaningful sales and long-term safety\npartnerships. The oilsands sector deserves a real solution to a real threat\n— and FCL-X™ is exactly that.\"\n— Carlos Vicens, Chief Executive Officer, Full Circle Lithium\n FOOTNOTES & REFERENCES\n\n (1)  Accidents involving lithium-ion batteries — toxic gas production,\n including HF, CO, and CH₄.
