OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW

Near Term Production

  • Early cash flow - 12 months after construction starts
  • Conservative staged development

Low Capex | High Returns

  • $37.3m capex to self-funding against total development capex of $81m
  • Interest from off-takers to fund capex
  • NPV8 $155-235m
  • Significant demand for mineral sands and high prices (lack of new projects)
  • Additional upside with <10% of project drilled to only 3m from surface ending in mineralisation

Among Highest Grades Globally

  • 17Mt JORC resource at 17.6% Total Heavy Minerals
  • Potential for volume and grade increase
  • Project grades in highest quartile globally

High Re-Rate Potential

  • Market cap at 5p represents ~90% discount to project NPV8 before upside potential, and with capex being targeted through offtake/debt finance
  • High re-rate potential

Expect to further enhance project economics, and expand mine life and throughput

  • Less than 10% of project drilled
  • Current resource only 3m from surface - mineralisation open at depth
  • Average grade from 2021 auger drilling of 19.37% THM (compared to existing JORC resource grade of 17.6%) - anticipated to uplift average grade of resource
  • Material resource extensions also anticipated from identified dune mineralisation
  • Drilling programme planned targeting resource extension laterally and at depth
