Exhibit 2.01
Resource Extraction Payment Report

This report discloses the payments made by Albemarle Corporation to governments for the commercial development of minerals and which involve the exploration, extraction, processing and export of such minerals, or the acquisition of a license for any such activity. Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Albemarle,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” mean Albemarle Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Payments to the United States government (“U.S.”) include payments made only to the Federal government and not to state, local or tribal governments. Payments to foreign governments include payments to the national government as well as subnational governments under that foreign national government. All payments are reported in U.S. dollars. Payments that were made in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been converted to U.S. dollars using the weighted-average exchange rates for the period presented.

At December 31, 2023, we had the following mineral extraction projects:

In addition, we own undeveloped land with access to a lithium resource in Antofalla, within the Catamarca Province of Argentina.
