LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2026 / Anson Resources Limited (ASX:ASN) ("Anson" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) Board has approved a post-performance tax credit of approximately $212 million to support the development of its 100% owned USA subsidiary, A1 Lithium Inc., Green River Lithium Project, Utah, USA. This approval is one of the incentive programs that the Company has been discussing with the Government of Utah, see ASX Announcement 5 August 2026 and is addition to the tax rebate from the Utah Inland Port Authority (UIPA), see ASX Announcement 3 September 2026. The total of the two tax rebates is US$406,514,271 (A$569,119,979).
The calculation of the tax credit is based upon a projection of incremental taxes that the State of Utah expects to receive 20 years.

The REDTIF program offers a post-performance, refundable tax credit rebate and is aimed at encouraging businesses to develop operations in smaller communities and can provide up to 50% of the incremental taxes. Projects in Green River, Utah qualifies under the REDTIF program.
Anson is continuing discussions with GOED about other incentive programs that are also expected to have an impact on the financial returns to its shareholders and will continue to update the market as those discussions come to conclusion.
Anson's Executive Chairman and CEO, Mr Bruce Richardson commented, "The tax credit that has been approved by the GOED Board is yet another indication of the strong support that Anson has received from the Government of Utah a relationship that the Company has been developing over several years. The Company appreciates this support and is continuing to work with both the State and Federal government representatives on other grants and incentive programs that do not dilute the Company's shareholders while adding value to the project."
