PGM Demand

  • Automotive markets
  1. 2019: Weak YtD October performance -5.3%o Contraction driven by:
    • -9.5%YtD decline in China, weak GDP growth and trade uncertainty exacerbated by inventory management ahead of China 6
    • Slowing US growth after strong recovery post GFC
    • Decline in Western Europe on trade and Brexit woes
    • Japan eking out growth ahead of October tax
  1. Pace of decline in diesel share beginning to moderate; but structurally has spurred better-than-expected gasoline volumes
    1. 2020 expected to show modest recovery, but at risk from global slow- down and trade tensions
  • Platinum jewellery markets
    1. Pleasing growth in India and the US together with a stable outlook for Japan
    1. A sobering outlook for the Chinese market which faces increasingly nuanced consumer market and a declining promotional wallet
  • Investment
    1. 1Q19 Platinum ETF flurry moderated in 2Q19 and 3Q19, while paper positioning has been bolstered by gold
  1. Bar and coin likely to be small positive driver in 2019
  1. Palladium disinvestment from ETFs continues, while paper positioning remains modest

PGM market outlook

  • The outlook for global growth remains murky with no short-term resolution to uncertainties caused by trade-wars, Brexit and rising geo- political tensions.
  • The structural underpin from technological developments and evolution, together with tightening legislation is vital to maintain the trend of tightening demand and supply in the medium-term:
  1. Market development activity has seen discussion on platinum for palladium substitution move from meeting rooms to the R&D labs of major fabricators with indicative volumes and timing now visible in the medium-term outlook
    1. Together with HDD, this has the potential to drive fundamental demand growth/pull
  • Rest of the metals all enjoying strong supply/demand fundamentals, driven by:
    1. Palladium: Automotive
  1. Rhodium: Automotive and Industrial
  1. Limited potential near-term supply response

mining jurisdiction

NAP is listed on the TSX in Toronto

Strategy focuses on increasing underground

mined volumes and increasing mill throughput to

drive production gains

Reliable operational performance since 2017 resulting in increased total ore recovery and production rates, lowered operating costs, and improved geotechnical ground conditions

NAP is set to become one of Canada's largest and

Enhanced palladium exposure without increasing supply

Repositions attributable mined metal mix

  • Increased palladium production to match both gross and auto demand
  • Rhodium volumes remain in line with auto requirements

Diversifies geographic sources

  • North American presence added to South Africa and Zimbabwe

Increases palladium exposure without adding to supply

  • Attributable mined volumes for IMP & NAP:
    • 18% of primary Platinum supply
    • 13% of primary Palladium supply
    • 19% of primary Rhodium supply

Processing optionality

  • Nature of NAP concentrates allow for potential future inclusion in IRS processing streams
  • Inclusion of NAP concentrates in IRS does not preclude ability to treat other 3rd party concentrates
