Speciality Metals International Limited (SEI or the Company) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mt Carbine Quarrying Operations Pty Ltd, is pleased to announce that the Company has started delivering quarry products to Bama Civil Pty Ltd (Bama) against the $4 million purchase order (refer to ASX announcement $4 Million Contract Enhances Order Intake for the Mt Carbine Quarrying Operationsreleased on 1 July 2020). The material is being delivered to Bama Civil for a major road construction project on the Queensland Government's Peninsula Development Road located in the Cook Shire in Far North Queensland.

Additional deliveries will take place over the remainder of the year with the majority of revenue to be reflected in the quarter ending December 2020.

contract including the expansion of the crushing capacity to increase overall production outputs. A further alignment of the ore sorting operations with the quarry production will allow the Company to reduce overall production costs, improve profitability, while reducing the environmental footprint at its Mt Carbine site.

SEI Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kevin

MacNeill stated, "It is great to see the delivery of the Bama products get underway. We had been producing the initial products in anticipation of the contract delivery dates, so we are well placed and on target. Having produced ahead of time, it gives us the flexibility to continue filling other

contracts as they come in. The management and organisation of the quarry business is steadily being transformed under the leadership of Mr Bartlett, our Quarry Manager appointed last month."
