108. OBSERVATIONS There is definitely a need to develop RE sources outside China for PM materials. It’s prudent for both China and ROW. In the long term there are likely enough RE resources to supply the global RE market. Sources of PM materials are likely to remain tight in the near term given that it takes 7 to 10 years, on average, to bring mining projects on stream, (in mining-friendly jurisdictions!). The world likely does not need any more large “LREE” projects. The focus should be on projects that can supply significant “HREE” per tonne mined. Balance is important. It is not enough just to bring RE sources on stream. We must also develop separating and metal making capability. 18

Strong project economics and long asset life – NPV @8% US$463, 26.5% IRR and 3.4 years to return capital expenditure. Asset life 15 years assumed in scoping, inferred resource suggests 40 years.Low technical risk – 40 years of mining and producing a salable commodity and scoping assumed historical recoveries. Upside in new technology not considered.Capital – US$289 million – opportunity to reduce capital as none of the existing shafts and 25km of development has been considered in scoping and western development costs have been applied.Short time to production – We are reopening the existing mine, which is in a mining town, with services and underground development which will reduce time to production.Ease of build – The site is level as the plant was in place and some buildings exist. In Korea there are an abundance of highly skilled people and equipment available to move the project forward quickly.Supportive modern government – Korea is a sophisticated country with a strong economy and GDP and the regional government is actively assisting in moving the project forward.Market on our doorstep – Asia-Pacific including Japan and China represents the worlds largest and fastest growing tungsten and molybdenum market
2,200 metre strike of veins of which most of the mining was on two veins from 1913 to 1997.Produced 250 tonnes of gold at an average grade of 11.5 g/ t at a 10 g/t cut off gradeAs a 10 g/t cut off grade was applied, the plans indicate there are many minable blocks left in the mine when we apply today's economic cut off of 3 g/t apart from what KORES believes remains at depth and on strike.The project has underground development down to 700 metres and associated lateral development and engaged the last mine manager of Muguk which is moving our knowledge base forward quickly.Review of over 1,000 face samples taken by KORES prior to mine closure gives a mean grade of 30 g/t over an average width of 1.15 metres which is a significant targetCurrently drilling the 5, 6,7 and 8 veins to understand the dip and strike extent of the southern structures.

GWMG business model: to production of permanent magnet alloys but not making magnetsSeparation and metal making are key aspects of the complete supply chain and right now nobody really does either outside ChinaNote that there is no market outside China for RE product produced at the”processing” stage, only for byproducts like phosphate
Slide shows the split between “light” rare earths (“LREE”) and “heavy” rare earths (“HREE”)
Rare earths are critical to green technology, lifestyle applications and defense applications
China has approximately 1/3 of the world’s RE reserves but are supplying 100% of the global demand-not sustainable in their view.
The graph shows general trends, but is somewhat misleading for individual rare earths
The table illustrates that while the demand for Res is increasing, that increased demand is almost entirely in China.
Recent reduction in the export quota has caused considerable turmoil in the RE market, represented by rocketing prices
Dramatic increases in prices coincide with announcement of reduced export quotas
Map showing that in the long term there is no shortage of potential rare earth production
Map showing projects with the potential to come into production in the near term
Map showing other projects with medium term production potential-a sampling, not a comprehensive list
Table showing the “pessimistic” listing of RE sources to 2014 and the potential shortfall
“Pessimistic” Supply/Demand showing potential shortages for individual REs
Note high capital cost for several projects vs output; note large quantity of cerium produced and very modest amounts of Dy.
Supply/Demand for the “optimistic” case where all projects go into production (except Kvanefjeld).Note that while there is a large surplus in total, Nd and Dy may still end up in short supplyFor magnet materials it will be difficult to meet demand
My name is Siegfried Konig. Our company VECOR aspires to be the world leader in fly ash recycling by 2013.Can you please indicate by raising your hand, if you have ever heard of fly ash or coal ash? …………. Ok, if you have ever cleaned a fireplace, you will know that some of the ash is on the bottom of the fireplace and easy to clean up, but some ash flies up because the particles are so light. That is fly ash.
What you see here is a fly ash dump. You will find dumps like this next to every coal fired power plant in the world. This dump is about 3 miles long, 1 mile wide and contains tens of millions of tonnes of fly ash. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, over 50,000 coal-fired power plants are producing more than 1 billion tonnes of fly ash, the majority destined for dumps like this, and there are more than 10 billion tonnes of this industrial waste already in landfill.
This environmental challenge is escalating dramatically because the world’s demand for energy will increase 40% by 2030, primarily in Asia. The majority of this energy will come from Coal because Coal is the cheapest energy source, Coal is locally available and Coal represents energy security. That means that by 2030 the fly ash produced will double from 1 billion tonnes of new ash every year to 2 billion tonnes.
This chart shows the increasing gap between fly ash production and environmentally sustainable utilisation. So what is being done at the moment, and what more can be done to utilise more of this huge amount of waste?
Currently the only industry using significant quantities is the cement industry which uses fly ash for cement replacement. New technologies need to be invented and new uses need to found because it makes sense to mine this waste instead of mining virgin materials for construction. Centuries of mining clay, limestone, sand and aggregates as construction materials are putting unsustainable pressure on our environment. Governments are increasing legislation in an effort to limit mining, just ask someone that is seeking approval to open a new quarry! People have been trying for decades to invent new ways to use this waste, and Vecor has succeeded.
Our first technology was invented and patented by researchers at the UNSW. Vecor has the exclusive Global rights to the patents and Vecor will own the Intellectual Property at the time of our IPO. Commercialising and improving that technology has taken 3 years and over $6 million spent on R&D. Additionally, our team has modified established mining technologies to process fly ash and engineered new equipment. With 3 additional patents lodged to date, Vecor is well on the way to our goal of comprehensive utilisation.
We have manufactured prototype ceramic tiles, ceramic proppants for the oil and gas industry, bricks, pavers, sand, aggregates and high temperature refractory bricks. What we learned in developing these products is that making finished products is only a part of the opportunity.
The first revenue stream of our business is that Vecor gets paid by the power plants to take the Fly Ash and thereby remove their liability. In the US dumping fees alone are $20 a ton and in the EU it's around 27 Euros a tonne. Vecor then processes the fly ash using modified mining technologies (similar to mining tailings) and makes money from selling the minerals including Carbon, Magnetite and Cenospheres. What we left with are beneficiated aluminium silicates that can then be used as a raw material for a number of industries including plastics, rubber, abrasives, paint and fillers or as a replacement for products traditionally made from clay such as tiles and bricks. Vecor's 3rd revenue steam is to grant licenses for product manufacturing, usually in a joint venture with an industry leader in a given market.
So why replace clay with fly ash? Besides the fact that clay is a virgin material and the aluminium silicates are a recycled material, it is well known that Italy has run out of clay, they use clay imported from the Ukraine, China has banned clay mining in more than ¾ of their provinces and all quarrying is banned within a 150 kilometre radius of Delhi. Why? Because clay mining is destroying their arable land. The chemistry of clay and fly ash are remarkably similar because fly ash is really burnt clay. Tiles made from fly ash are 30% cheaper to manufacture because of reduced materials preparation and Vecor tiles require 30% less energy. The 3 industry test parameters for ceramic tiles are water absorption, tensile strength and surface hardness. This table details how Vecor’s ceramics are superior to the best Italian porcelain made from clay in every respect.
And they said it couldn’t be done!
Here is Vecor's 5 phase business plan. Phase 1 was completed with our own cash and Government grants. We then raised 5 million US Dollars from wealthy private investors for Phase 2 which will be completed by the end of October. Starting in November, Vecor plans to raise a further 50 million US Dollars to fund the first 4 projects with Joint Venture partners. We intend to operate those 4 projects until the IPO in 2013-2014, then commence the Global rollout.
Now, you may be thinking, Sounds good, Looks good, Solves a huge environmental problem, but does it make any money? And the answer is YES! The 50 million US Dollars raising to complete Vecor's phase 3 is forecast to realise revenue of around 60 million and EBIT of 20 million, a comprehensive financial model is available as part of Vecor's due diligence materials.
So why think about investing in Vecor? We believe Vecor is an excellent investment because of our First Mover advantageThe business represents a highly scaleable, Global opportunity There is abundantly available feedstock wherever there is a coal fired power plantThere is considerably less risk now that proof of concept has been completedWe provide the solution being actively searched for coal fired Power Plants to remove their liabilityThe timing is perfect because it taps into the Worldwide trend towards zero wasteUnlike many "GREEN" businesses, Vecor will not depend on Government subsidies to survive because the business is highly profitable, and Vecor has committed, experienced management with significant personal investment in the business
