JULIMAR COMPLEX ASQ/DEVEX JV - PGE'S, Ni & Cu

ASQ DevEx 50/50 JV

ASQ has entered into a joint venture with DevEx

Resources, ASX:DEV, on ASQ's 100% owned E70/3405 located along strike from Chalice Gold Mines nickel copper platinum group elements Julimar discovery in WA.

  • The first $3M expenditure is to be fully funded by DevEx to earn 50%. ASQ has the option to jointly fund future expenditure to maintain 50% share or opt to allow DevEx to fund the next $3M to earn a further 20% interest in non bauxite minerals.
  • The tenement is granted and land access has been established, this has enabled immediate access and progress of this project.

JULIMAR COMPLEX ASQ/DEVEX JV - PGE'S, Ni & Cu

  • New airborne electromagnetics identify three extensive "clusters" of EM conductors - Mackenzie, Kingsley and Hudson primarily within ASQ DevEx JV tenement E70/3405
  • The AEM survey was flown on 200m spaced east- west flight lines and focused on the large-scale Sovereign Magnetic Complex
  • Next steps will be to use the processed AEM data (pending) to plan ground-based moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) surveys over the Kingsley, Mackenzie and Hudson Prospect areas, prior to proposed drill programme

SOUTH STIRLING NICKEL/COPPER PROJECT

South Stirling Albany Fraser Ni/Cu Project

  • Consists of four exploration license applications over the Biranup Zone of the Albany-Fraser Orogen total area applied for is 1,603 km2.
  • Preliminary review of existing exploration data includes EOH aircore drilling assay of
    1.5m at 0.79% Ni, 934 ppm Cu, 832 ppm Co from 28.5m.
  • ASQ considers the application area has potential for nickel-copper magmatic sulphide mineralisation associated with mafic-ultramafic intrusions.
  • Historic exploration data is currently being reviewed to focus exploration efforts once tenements have been granted.
  • The project is 100% owned and is well serviced by transport infrastructure, on private freehold land, 50 kms north of Albany.

SOUTH STIRLING NICKEL COPPER

  • Area includes an anomalous drill hole from a 2015 Iluka Exploration Pty Ltd ("Iluka") mineral sands exploration program. Iluka drilled 39 broad spaced air-core holes within the application area looking for mineral sand deposits in the overlying tertiary sediments. Iluka routinely assayed the end of hole ("EOH") samples wherever the hole ended in crystalline basement rocks. Drill hole W00324 was logged as ending in dark orange brown saprolite at a depth of 28.5 - 30 m.
  • W00324 is located 240 m from a 54 m deep Anglo American Exploration Australia Pty Ltd ("Anglo") air- core drill hole that appears to have been part of a two hole program designed to test an airborne magnetics or surface geochemistry target that had been followed up with ground-based magnetics.
  • The Anglo drill hole failed to return significant assay results. The Company believes Anglo may have missed the target with their wide spaced drilling.

ALBANY WHITE HILL SILICA

The Albany silica tenements indicate the potential to be a core component of company's long-

term silica sand strategy

  • Exploration and Mining Land Access Agreement recently signed on key tenement
  • Drilling program planned for late 2020 to define a JORC resource - 9-27Mt Exploration Target
  • Port access discussions underway
  • Nearby Austsand deposits owned by Toyota & Toshu exporting 200kt/yr through Albany Port
  • Substantial interest in the high-grade,fine-grained, Albany silica by potential offtake partners

GINGIN SILICA

The Gingin region hosts the economically important high grade Bassendean sand formation

  • Adjacent to Hanson Australia existing long-term bulk silica sand export operation

Gingin ASQ / Urban Resources Production Agreement

ASQ has entered into an agreement with existing local sand producer Urban Resources to fast track the company's entry into silica sand production in the Gingin area. Highlights include

  • 11 Mt JORC Resource
  • High grade, low iron
  • Numerous samples provided to potential customers including a number of trial container shipments that have been completed to China and S.Korea, marketing follow- up ongoing
  • Preliminary engineering design for plant upgrade completed

ESPERANCE SILICA

  • Esperance Silica Sand Project consists of two granted exploration licences within 30- 60km of the Port of Esperance
  • Roadside grab samples have returned encouraging results
  • Tenements located in close proximity of port and large regional town of Esperance
  • Excellent port availability and access options
  • Longer term project with ongoing exploration efforts to determine exploration target potential

HARD ROCK QUARTZ

Hard Rock Quartz

  • The Company has two application exploration licences in the South West of Western Australia and three granted exploration permits in Far North Queensland covering known quartz deposits with the potential to contain high purity silica.
  • ASQ's QLD tenements adjacent to Solar Quartz Technologies (OTC:SQTX) 15 million tonne hardrock HPQ deposit.
  • Best grade from QLD rock chip sampling after acid wash 99.993% SiO2.
  • The Company has received interest from third parties looking to secure a hard rock product.

E77/2684 (Application) - Lake Seabrook, WA Hard Rock Quartz

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT - HIGH PURITY QUARTZ

R&D High Purity Quartz

The Company is undertaking a research and development program investigating innovative processing techniques that could yield high purity product from high grade silica sand or hardrock quartz material.

Testwork to date has yielded a >99.99% SiO2 quartz product.

Work to develop and refine the process flow is underway to determine scalability and refine the economics of the process.

The Company's existing resources are being evaluated as to their potential as a feed stock for the process.

R&D Testwork at Curtin University

BAUXITE DARLING RANGE

Joint Venture

  • ASQ has entered into a fully funded joint venture with HD Mining & Investments Pty Ltd (HD).
  • 95Mt of bauxite resources have been identified within the JV area.
  • HD is currently fully funding the project into order to earn a 40% interest in the bauxite rights of several tenements under the joint venture which are wholly owned by ASQ.
  • Should HD and ASQ make a subsequent decision to mine, then HD will earn an additional 20% interest in bauxite rights on the tenements. ASQ maintains 100% interest in all other minerals.

15

BAUXITE ROYALTY - 100MT@0.9%FOB

  • Following the sale of the Bauxite Alumina Joint Venture Project to the Yankuang Group a royalty was negotiated on future bauxite sales from the project of 0.9% of FOB price payable to ASQ.
  • The Yankuang Group Felicaitas-Fortuna Bauxite Project contains 270 Mt in the world class bauxite region of the Darling Range, Western Australia.
  • ASQ is entitled to a royalty of 0.9% (approx. $0.50/t) of the FOB price on the first 100 million tonnes mined.
