PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully read the entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and the exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are a part.

Company Overview

We are an exploration stage company focused on becoming a vertically integrated global leader and supplier of boron specialty and advanced materials whose mission is to enable decarbonization, increase food security, and ensure domestic supply of critical materials. We hold 100% of the rights through ownership in the 5E Boron Americas (Fort Cady) Complex located in southern California, through our wholly owned subsidiary 5E Boron Americas, LLC (“5E Boron Americas”). Our Fort Cady Project (the “Project’) is underpinned by a mineral resource that includes boron and lithium, with the boron being contained in a conventional boron mineral known as colemanite. In 2022, our facility was designated as Critical Infrastructure by the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Our vision is to safely process boric acid and lithium carbonate through sustainable best practices to enable decarbonization, food security and domestic supply surety.

We hold 100% of the ownership rights in the Project through our wholly owned subsidiary, 5E Boron Americas, LLC (f/k/a Fort Cady (California) Corporation). Through a multi-phased approach, we plan to develop the Project into a large-scale boron and lithium complex. The Project is based on a conventional colemanite deposit, which is a hydrated calcium borate mineral found in evaporite deposits, and we believe it is one of the largest known new conventional boron deposits globally. The deposit hosts a mineral resource from which we intend to extract and process into boric acid, boron advanced materials, lithium carbonate, and potentially other co-products. These materials are scarce in resource, currently subject to supply risk as a large portion of their consumption in the United States is sourced from foreign producers and are essential for supporting critical industries. When the Project is successfully developed, we believe that we can become an important supplier helping to provide supply security for these materials in the United States. The importance of the Project and its mineral resource has been recognized by it being designated as Critical Infrastructure by the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The Project is also expected to serve as an important supply source of boric acid that we intend to process and develop into boron specialty and advanced materials over time.

In November 2023, we obtained final approval from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to commence mining operations under our Underground Injection Control Permit (the “UIC Permit”). We began mining operations on January 1, 2024 and in April 2024, we successfully achieved first production of boric acid. In late June 2024, we commenced our customer qualification program by sending initial boric acid samples to two customers.

While operating our Small-Scale Facility (“SSF”), we plan to progress with front end loading, a stage gated project management system (“FEL,” with a number to the corresponding stage, such as “FEL2”) and commence FEL2 engineering. Upon completion of FEL2, and assuming access to sufficient capital, we expect to progress into FEL3 and ultimately detailed engineering (FEL4). Upon completing all phases of engineering, we plan to commence commercial construction and are targeting initial commercial production (90,000 short tons per annum of boric acid) in the second half of calendar year 2026 or first half of calendar year 2027.

Concurrent Private Placement

On August 26, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the investor participating in this offering for the purchase and sale of unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,666,666 shares of common stock, including Series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,333,333 shares of our common stock and

Series B warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,333,333 shares of our common stock (the “concurrent private placement”). The warrants have an exercise price of $0.7981 per share. We expect the closing of the concurrent private placement to occur on or about August 27, 2024, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The warrants are only exercisable for a whole number of shares. The Series A warrants will expire 5.5 years following their issuance and the Series B warrants will expire 2.5 years following their issuance. The warrants and the shares underlying the warrants are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement we entered into with the purchaser of the warrants, we agreed to file a registration statement within 30 calendar days of the closing date of the concurrent private placement to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 181 calendar days after the closing date of the concurrent private placement, and use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date that the purchaser no longer owns warrants or shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof and (ii) the date on which no warrants are outstanding and all shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without regard to volume limitations.

Corporate Information

American Pacific Borates Limited, our former parent company (“ABR”), was incorporated in October 2016 under the laws of Western Australia for the purpose of acquiring the rights in the Project from Atlas Precious Metals, Inc. The acquisition of Fort Cady (California) Corporation was completed in May 2017 and ABR’s ordinary shares were subsequently admitted for official quotation on the ASX in July 2017.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 23, 2021, as a wholly owned subsidiary of ABR for the purposes of effecting the Reorganization (as defined in the accompanying prospectus dated February 27, 2024).

We received all the issued and outstanding shares of ABR pursuant to a statutory Scheme of Arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Australian Corporations Act (“Scheme”). The Scheme was approved by ABR’s shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders held on December 2, 2021. Following shareholder approval, the Scheme was approved by the Federal Court of Australia on February 24, 2022.

After completion of the Scheme, we listed shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, on Nasdaq under the symbol “FEAM” on March 15, 2022 and de-listed ABR from the ASX on March 8, 2022.

We maintain an ASX listing for our CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), with each CDI representing 1/10th of a share of common stock. Holders of CDIs can trade their CDIs on the ASX and holders of shares of our common stock are able to trade their shares on Nasdaq.

Following completion of the Reorganization, ABR became a wholly owned subsidiary of 5E Advanced Materials, Inc.

Our principal executive offices are located at 9329 Mariposa Road, Suite 210, Hesperia, California 92344. Our telephone number is (442) 221-0225. Our website address is www.5eadvancedmaterials.com.

You should consider carefully the risks described below and discussed under the section captioned “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, as amended, and as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information and documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering before you make a decision to invest in our common stock. If any of the following events actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations.

There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Following this offering, we will still need to raise substantial additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, to be able to continue as a going concern and advance our Project.

There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our existence in our current form is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional capital. Even after this offering, our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our long-term operations and we will need substantial additional funds. Raising funds in the current economic environment is challenging and financing may not be available in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, if at all. The issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our shares to decline. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, including shares of common stock through an equity distribution agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC and D.A. Davidson & Co. relating to the sale by us of up to $15.0 million of shares of our common stock from time to time pursuant to an ‘‘at-the-market’’ program with Canaccord Genuity LLC and D.A. Davidson & Co., may dilute the ownership of existing shareholders. Additionally, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated August 11, 2022 (as amended on January 18, 2024 and May 28, 2024, the “Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement”), the conversion rate applicable to the $6.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes issued on June 11, 2024 is subject to adjustment if, on or prior to December 31, 2024, we sell shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is less than the conversion price then in effect, subject to certain exceptions.

If we are not able to procure additional financing and our cash balance falls below $7.5 million on or after December 31, 2024, an event of default under the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement would occur if not cured after 30 days.

We have broad discretion as to the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will retain broad discretion as to the allocation of the proceeds and may spend these proceeds in ways in which you may not agree. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could result in unfavorable returns and uncertainty about our prospects, each of which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If you purchase our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.

If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the as adjusted net tangible book value of your stock because the price that you pay will be substantially greater than the net tangible book value per share of the shares you acquire. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience substantial additional dilution. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see the section of this prospectus supplement titled “Dilution.”

Provisions of the warrants being issued in the concurrent private placement could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

Certain provisions of the warrants to be issued in the concurrent private placement could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the warrants. In addition, in certain circumstances, the holder will have the right to receive the Black Scholes Value of the warrant calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the warrants, payable either in cash or in the same type or form of consideration that is being offered and being paid to the holders of our common stock. These and other provisions of the warrants could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to our investor.

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections as well as the current beliefs and assumptions of our management, including about our business, our financial condition, our results of operations, our operating requirements and utilization of our capital resources, and the industry and environment in which we operate. Statements that include words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “intend” and “expect,” variations of these words, and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences, and other factors that we believe affect our performance, include those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, as amended, and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, incorporated by reference herein, and in other reports we file with the SEC. While forward-looking statements are based on the reasonable expectations of our management at the time that they are made, you should not rely on them. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us will be approximately $3.0 million. This amount excludes any proceeds we may receive upon exercise of the warrants to be issued to the investor in this offering in the concurrent private placement.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, primarily to advance our FEL-2 engineering program towards completion while providing working capital to continue operating our small-scale facility and progressing our customer qualification program.

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds to us from this offering, including for any of the purposes described above. Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in interest-bearing, investment-grade securities, certificates of deposit or government securities.

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.

Historical net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2024, our historical net tangible book value was approximately $22.8 million, or $0.36 per share, based on 63,285,836 shares of common stock outstanding as of that date.

After giving effect to the sale of 5,333,333 shares of common stock in this offering at the offering price of $0.75 per share (but excluding shares or related proceeds from the exercise of any warrants issued in the concurrent private placement), and after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2024 would have been approximately $25.8 million, or $0.38 per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.02 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.37 per share to new investors participating in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution.

To the extent that outstanding options or Awards are exercised or settled, you may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership will be further diluted.

Subject to the rights of holders of any series of outstanding preferred stock, holders of shares of our common stock will have equal rights of participation in the dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Company when, as and if declared thereon by our Board from time to time out of assets or funds legally available therefor and will have equal rights to receive the assets and funds of the Company available for distribution to stockholders in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary.

CDIs confer the beneficial ownership of our common stock on each CDI holder, with the legal title to such securities held by an Australian depositary entity, CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd. (the “Depositary Nominee”). The Depositary Nominee will be the registered holder of those shares of our common stock held for the benefit of holders of CDIs. The Depositary Nominee does not charge a fee for providing this service. Ten CDIs will represent an interest in one share of our common stock. Holders of CDIs will not hold the legal title to the underlying shares of our common stock to which the CDIs relate, as the legal title will be held by the Depositary Nominee. Each holder of CDIs will, however, have a beneficial interest in the underlying shares in our common stock. Each holder of CDIs that elects to vote at a stockholders meeting will be entitled to one vote for every 10 CDIs held by such holder. In order to vote at a stockholder meeting, a CDI holder may:

Voting instruction forms and details of these alternatives are included in each notice of meeting sent to CDI holders by the Company.

CDI holders may at any time convert their CDIs to a holding of shares of common stock by instructing the share registry for the CDIs, either:

In both cases, once the share registry for the CDIs has been notified, it will arrange the transfer of the relevant number of shares of common stock from the Depositary Nominee into the name of the CDI holder in book entry form or, if requested, deliver the relevant shares of common stock to their DTC participant in the United States Central Securities Depositary. The share registry for the CDIs will not charge a fee for the conversion (although a fee may be payable by market participants). Holding shares of common stock will, however, prevent a person from selling their shares of common stock on the ASX, as only CDIs can be traded on that market.

Shares of common stock may be converted into CDIs and traded on the ASX. Holders of shares of common stock may at any time convert those shares to CDIs by contacting the Company’s transfer agent. The underlying shares of common stock will be transferred to the Depositary Nominee, and CDIs (and a holding statement for the corresponding CDIs) will be issued to the relevant security holder. No trading in the CDIs may take place on the ASX until this conversion.

The Company’s transfer agent will not charge a fee to a holder of shares of common stock seeking to convert their shares of common stock to CDIs, although a fee may be payable by market participants.

In either case, it is expected that each of the above processes will be completed within 24 hours, provided that the Company’s transfer agent is in receipt of a duly completed and valid request form. No guarantee can, however, be given about the time required for this conversion to take place.

Holders of CDIs are entitled to receive all the direct economic benefits and other entitlements in relation to the underlying shares of common stock that are held by the Depositary Nominee, including dividends and other entitlements that attach to the underlying shares of common stock.

It is possible that marginal differences may exist between the resulting entitlement of a holder of CDIs and the entitlements that would have accrued if a holder of CDIs held their holding directly as shares of common stock. As the ratio of CDIs to common stock is not one-to-one, and any entitlement will be determined on the basis of shares of common stock rather than CDIs, a holder of CDIs may not always benefit to the same extent (e.g., from the rounding up of fractional entitlements). We will, however, be required by the ASX Settlement Rules to minimize any such differences where legally permissible. If a cash dividend or any other cash distribution is declared in a currency other than Australian dollars, we currently intend to convert that dividend or other cash distribution to which a holder of

CDIs is entitled to Australian dollars and distribute it to the relevant holder of CDIs in accordance with their entitlement.

Due to the need to convert dividends from United States dollars to Australian dollars in the above mentioned circumstances, holders of CDIs may potentially be advantaged or disadvantaged by exchange rate fluctuations, depending on whether the Australian dollar weakens or strengthens against the United States dollar during the period between the resolution to pay a dividend and conversion into Australian dollars.

If a takeover bid is made in respect of any of our common stock of which the Depositary Nominee is the registered holder, the Depositary Nominee is prohibited from accepting the offer made under the takeover bid except to the extent that acceptance is authorized by the CDI holders in respect of the shares of common stock represented by their holding of CDIs.

The Depositary Nominee must accept a takeover offer in respect of shares of common stock represented by a holding of CDIs if the relevant holder of CDIs instructs it to do so and must notify the entity making the takeover bid of the acceptance.

Our Board is authorized to provide, out of the unissued shares of preferred stock, for one or more series of preferred stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of such series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series, as are stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the Board. The authority of the Board with respect to each series of preferred stock includes determination of the following:

Pursuant to the terms of an investor and registration rights agreement to which we are a party, each of BEP Special Situations IV LLC and Ascend Global Investment Fund SPC has the right to designate one individual to our Board, and we are required to appoint or nominate such person to our Board. Such party’s respective designation right will continue for so long as such party or its affiliates beneficially owns (i) at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of convertible notes issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement and beneficially owned by such party as of June 11, 2024 (which calculation shall include any convertible notes that have been converted so long as such party beneficially owns the applicable shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the notes and otherwise without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility in the convertible notes) or (ii) at least ten percent (10%) of our outstanding shares of common stock (including any shares of common stock previously issued or issuable to such party in connection with a conversion of its convertible notes pursuant to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement and otherwise without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility in the notes).

The validity of the issuance of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon by our counsel, Latham & Watkins LLP. The placement agent is being represented in connection with this offering by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP.

This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein may include statements that express our and our subsidiaries’ opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They may appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and these forward- looking statements reflect management’s expectations regarding our future growth, results of operations, operational and financial performance and business prospects and opportunities. Such forward-looking statements are based on available current market material and management’s expectations, beliefs and forecasts concerning future events impacting our business. Factors that may impact such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:

If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are more fully described under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive. Other sections of this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement describe additional factors that could adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can the Company assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business of the Company or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral resource estimates included in this prospectus have been prepared in accordance with, and are based on the relevant definitions set forth in, the SEC’s Mining Disclosure Rules and Regulation S-K 1300 (each as defined below). Mining disclosure in the United States was previously required to comply with SEC Industry Guide 7 (the “SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the Exchange Act. In accordance with the SEC’s Final Rule 13-10570, Modernization of Property Disclosure for Mining Registrant, the SEC has adopted final rules, effective February 25, 2019, to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules (the “Mining Disclosure Rules”) under sub-part 1300 (Title 17, Part 229, Items 601 and 1300 until 1305) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act (“Regulation S-K 1300”). Regulation S-K 1300 replaces the historical property disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7. Regulation S-K 1300 uses the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (“CRIRSCO”)-based classification system for mineral resources and mineral reserves and accordingly, under Regulation S-K 1300, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “Measured Mineral Resources,” “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources,” and require SEC-registered mining companies to disclose in their SEC filings specified information concerning their mineral resources, in addition to mineral reserves. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” to be substantially similar to international standards. The SEC Mining Disclosure Rules more closely align SEC disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, referred to as the “JORC Code.” While the SEC now recognizes “Measured Mineral Resources,” “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources” under the SEC Mining Disclosure Rules, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves.

The following terms, as defined in Regulation S-K 1300, apply within this prospectus:

The Company released an amended and restated technical report on Form 10-K/A with a revised report date of February 2, 2024, report date of May 11, 2023, and report effective date of April 1, 2023 (the “Amended

Initial Assessment Report”). The purpose of the Amended Initial Assessment Report is to support the disclosure of mineral resource estimates for the Project. The Amended Initial Assessment Report was prepared in accordance with the SEC’s Mining Disclosure Rules and Regulation S-K Subpart 1300 and Item 601(b)(96) (technical report summary). The Amended Initial Assessment Report is discussed in Business and Properties and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 96.1 to this registration statement.

UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS IS, NOR DOES IT PURPORT TO BE, A TECHNICAL REPORT SUMMARY PREPARED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON PURSUANT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUBPART 1300 OF SECURITIES EXCHANGE COMMISSION REGULATION S-K.

We are an exploration stage company and do not currently have any known mineral reserves and cannot expect to have known mineral reserves unless and until an appropriate technical and economic study is completed for Fort Cady or any of our other properties that shows Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves as defined by Regulation S-K 1300. We currently do not have any Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves. There can be no assurance that Fort Cady or any of our other properties contains or will contain any such SEC-compliant Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves or that, even if such reserves are found, the quantities of any such reserves warrant continued operations or that we will be successful in economically recovering them.

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard, until such time we are no longer considered to be an emerging growth company. At times, we may elect to adopt a new or revised standard early.

This prospectus includes information concerning our industry and the markets in which we will operate that is based on information from various sources including public filings, internal company sources, various third- party sources and management estimates. Our management estimates regarding our position, share and industry size are derived from publicly available information and its internal research, and are based on a number of key assumptions made upon reviewing such data and our knowledge of such industry and markets, which we believe to be reasonable. While we believe the industry, market and competitive position data included in this prospectus is reliable and is based on reasonable assumptions, such data is necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk and is subject to change due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates included in this prospectus. We have not independently verified any data obtained from third-party sources and cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of such data.

We are focused on becoming a vertically integrated global leader and supplier of boron specialty and advanced materials, complemented by lithium co-product production. Our mission is to become a supplier of these critical materials to industries addressing global decarbonization, food, and domestic security. Boron and lithium products will target applications in the fields of electric transportation, clean energy infrastructure, such as solar and wind power, fertilizers, and domestic security. The business strategy and objectives are to develop capabilities ranging from upstream extraction and product sales of boric acid, lithium carbonate, and potentially other co-products, to downstream boron advanced material processing and development. The business is based on our large domestic boron and lithium resource, which is located in Southern California and designated as Critical Infrastructure by the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

On January 12, 2024, we held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) where the following matters were voted upon and approved by our stockholders:

On January 12, 2024, we filed our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

On January 18, 2024, we entered into the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Convertible Notes, as amended and restated, bear interest at 4.50% per annum, payable semi-annually, or 10.00% per annum if we elect to pay such interest through the delivery of additional Convertible Notes, and are convertible into 66,261,621 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.5375 per share of Common Stock (assuming all accrued interest is paid-in-kind until maturity) in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement. The Convertible Notes mature on August 15, 2028. Following certain corporate events that may occur prior to the maturity date, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event. In addition, the minimum cash covenant has been waived through June 28, 2024, with a reduction in such covenant thereafter from $10 million to $7.5 million.

In connection with the amendment and restatement, Ascend and Meridian each acquired twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes (including accrued interest paid-in- kind) held by Bluescape.

On January 18, 2024, pursuant to the Ascend Subscription Agreement and the Amended and Restated 5ECAP Subscription Agreement, we issued (i) 5,365,854 shares to Ascend at a price of $1.025 per share, which shares include the placement fee paid to Ascend in shares of Common Stock and (ii) 5,365,854 shares of Common Stock to 5ECAP at a price of $1.025 per share, which shares include the placement fee paid to 5ECAP in shares of Common Stock (the “First Closing”).

On January 29, 2024, pursuant to the Amended and Restated 5ECAP Subscription Agreement, we issued 8,317,074 additional shares of Common Stock to 5ECAP, at a price of $1.025 per share, which shares include the placement fee paid to 5ECAP in shares of Common Stock (the “Second Closing”).

On January 18, 2024, in connection with the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, we entered into the A&R IRRA. Pursuant to the A&R IRRA, the Company granted Ascend, 5ECAP, Meridian, and Bluescape registration rights, which are the subject of a separate resale registration statement.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 23, 2021 for the purposes of effecting the Reorganization. Our principal executive offices are located at 9329 Mariposa Road, Ste 210, Hesperia, CA 92344 and our telephone number is (442) 221-0225. We maintain a website on the Internet at http://www.5eadvancedmaterials.com. Information contained on the website does not constitute a part of this prospectus. We have included our website address in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.

We are a “smaller reporting company” meaning that the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recent completed fiscal year and the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. Accordingly, we may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies, including the inclusion of only two years of financial statements and only two years of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

Investing in our Common Stock involves risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the specific risks set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, any subsequently filed Current Reports on Form 8-K, our Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on December 18, 2023, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See “Incorporation by Reference.”

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of any Common Stock offered by us pursuant to this prospectus will be used for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include, without limitation:

Pending any specific application described in the applicable prospectus supplement, net proceeds may be initially invested in short-term interest-bearing accounts, securities or similar investments.

The following description of our capital stock is a summary. The complete text of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are each included as exhibits to this registration statement and are incorporated by reference herein. Our authorized share capital is 380,000,000 divided into 360,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value of $0.01 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of February 16, 2024, there are approximately 63,285,836 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding held by approximately 19 record holders. As of February 16, 2024, no shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. The actual number of stockholders is considerably greater than the number of stockholders of record and includes stockholders who are beneficial owners but whose CDIs or shares of Common Stock are held in street name by brokers and other nominees.

Except as otherwise required by law, as provided in our Certificate of Incorporation or as provided in the resolution or resolutions, if any, adopted by our Board of Directors (our “Board”) with respect to any series of the Preferred Stock, the holders of our Common Stock will exclusively possess all voting power. Each holder of shares of Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holder. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of outstanding Preferred Stock, holders of shares of our Common Stock will have equal rights of participation in the dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Company when, as and if declared thereon by our Board from time to time out of assets or funds legally available therefor and will have equal rights to receive the assets and funds of the Company available for distribution to stockholders in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary.

CDIs confer the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock on each CDI holder, with the legal title to such securities held by an Australian depositary entity, CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd. (the “Depositary Nominee”). The Depositary Nominee will be the registered holder of those shares of our Common Stock held for the benefit of holders of CDIs. The Depositary Nominee does not charge a fee for providing this service. Ten CDIs will represent an interest in one share of our Common Stock. Holders of CDIs will not hold the legal title to the underlying shares of our Common Stock to which the CDIs relate, as the legal title will be held by the Depositary Nominee. Each holder of CDIs will, however, have a beneficial interest in the underlying shares in our Common Stock. Each holder of CDIs that elects to vote at a stockholders meeting will be entitled to one vote for every 10 CDIs held by such holder. In order to vote at a stockholder meeting, a CDI holder may:

Voting instruction forms and details of these alternatives are included in each notice of meeting sent to CDI holders by the Company.

CDI holders may at any time convert their CDIs to a holding of shares of Common Stock by instructing the share registry for the CDIs, either:

In both cases, once the share registry for the CDIs has been notified, it will arrange the transfer of the relevant number of shares of Common Stock from the Depositary Nominee into the name of the CDI holder in book entry form or, if requested, deliver the relevant shares of Common Stock to their DTC participant in the United States Central Securities Depositary. The share registry for the CDIs will not charge a fee for the conversion (although a fee may be payable by market participants). Holding shares of Common Stock will, however, prevent a person from selling their shares of Common Stock on the ASX, as only CDIs can be traded on that market.

Shares of Common Stock may be converted into CDIs and traded on the ASX. Holders of shares of Common Stock may at any time convert those shares to CDIs by contacting the Company’s transfer agent. The underlying shares of Common Stock will be transferred to the Depositary Nominee, and CDIs (and a holding statement for the corresponding CDIs) will be issued to the relevant security holder. No trading in the CDIs may take place on the ASX until this conversion.

The Company’s transfer agent will not charge a fee to a holder of shares of Common Stock seeking to convert their shares of Common Stock to CDIs, although a fee may be payable by market participants.

Holders of CDIs are entitled to receive all the direct economic benefits and other entitlements in relation to the underlying shares of Common Stock that are held by the Depositary Nominee, including dividends and other entitlements that attach to the underlying shares of Common Stock.

It is possible that marginal differences may exist between the resulting entitlement of a holder of CDIs and the entitlements that would have accrued if a holder of CDIs held their holding directly as shares of Common Stock. As the ratio of CDIs to Common Stock is not one-to-one, and any entitlement will be determined on the basis of shares of Common Stock rather than CDIs, a holder of CDIs may not always benefit to the same extent (e.g., from the rounding up of fractional entitlements). We will, however, be required by the ASX Settlement Rules to minimize any such differences where legally permissible. If a cash dividend or any other cash distribution is declared in a currency other than Australian dollars, we currently intend to convert that dividend or other cash distribution to which a holder of CDIs is entitled to Australian dollars and distribute it to the relevant holder of CDIs in accordance with their entitlement.

depending on whether the Australian dollar weakens or strengthens against the United States dollar during the period between the resolution to pay a dividend and conversion into Australian dollars.

If a takeover bid is made in respect of any of our Common Stock of which the Depositary Nominee is the registered holder, the Depositary Nominee is prohibited from accepting the offer made under the takeover bid except to the extent that acceptance is authorized by the CDI holders in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by their holding of CDIs.

The Depositary Nominee must accept a takeover offer in respect of shares of Common Stock represented by a holding of CDIs if the relevant holder of CDIs instructs it to do so and must notify the entity making the takeover bid of the acceptance.

Our Board is authorized to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for one or more series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of such series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series, as are stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the Board. The authority of the Board with respect to each series of Preferred Stock includes determination of the following:

We may sell the Common Stock offered under this prospectus in one or more of the following ways (or in any combination) from time to time:

A supplement to this prospectus will describe the particular terms of any offering of Common Stock, including the following:

If underwriters are used in the sale, such underwriters will acquire the Common Stock for their own account. The underwriters may resell the Common Stock in one or more transactions, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

The Common Stock may be offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the Common Stock will be subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Common Stock offered if any of the Common Stock are purchased.

We may sell the Common Stock through agents or dealers designated by us or them. Any agent or dealer involved in the offer or sale of the Common Stock for which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable to that agent or dealer by us or the selling security holders will be set forth, in the prospectus supplement. Unless indicated in the prospectus supplement, the agents will agree to use their reasonable efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment and any dealer will purchase the Common Stock from us as principal and may resell those shares of Common Stock at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

Underwriters, dealers or agents may facilitate the marketing of an offering online directly or through one of their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and, depending upon the particular underwriter, dealer or agent, place orders online or through their financial advisors.

We also may sell the Common Stock directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved.

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees

received by them from us and any profit on the resale of the Common Stock sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make, and to reimburse them for certain expenses.

In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the aggregate maximum discount, commission, fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

If at the time of any offering made under this prospectus a member of FINRA participating in the offering has a “conflict of interest” as defined in FINRA Rule 5121 (“Rule 5121”), that offering will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of Rule 5121.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their businesses.

In order to facilitate the offering of the Common Stock, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of such Common Stock may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Common Stock. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in our Common Stock for their own account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of our Common Stock, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may bid for, and purchase, such Common Stock in the open market. Finally, in any offering of Common Stock through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing such Common Stock in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed Common Stock in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Stock above independent market levels. The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

We may solicit offers to purchase the Common Stock directly from, and we or it may sell such Common Stock directly to, institutional investors or others. The terms of any of those sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in our Common Stock, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for our Common Stock which is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “FEAM.”

We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase our Common Stock at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell Common Stock not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the parties may sell Common Stock covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use Common Stock pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of Common Stock, and may use Common Stock received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of Common Stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this

prospectus forms a part. In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge Common Stock to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the Common Stock short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our Common Stock or in connection with a concurrent offering of Common Stock.

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

The validity of the Common Stock offered under this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Winston & Strawn LLP. Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the Common Stock offered under this prospectus will be passed upon for any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel named in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Measured Mineral Resource (“Measured” or “Measured Mineral Resource”)		that is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with a measured mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because a measured mineral resource has a higher level of confidence than the level of confidence of either an indicated mineral resource or an inferred mineral resource, a measured mineral resource may be converted to a proven mineral reserve or to a probable mineral reserve.
Indicated Mineral Resource (“Indicated” or “Indicated Mineral Resource”)		is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with an indicated mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because an indicated mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than the level of confidence of a measured mineral resource, an indicated mineral resource may only be converted to a probable mineral reserve.
Inferred Mineral Resource (“Inferred” or “Inferred Mineral Resource”)		is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. The level of


		geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability. Because an inferred mineral resource has the lowest level of geological confidence of all mineral resources, which prevents the application of the modifying factors in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability, an inferred mineral resource may not be considered when assessing the economic viability of a mining project, and may not be converted to a mineral reserve.
Probable Mineral Reserve (“Probable” or “Probable Mineral Reserve”)		is the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some cases, a measured mineral resource.
Proven Mineral Reserve (“Proven” or “Proven Mineral Reserve”)		is the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource and can only result from conversion of a measured mineral resource.
