Starter Pit is JUST THE START


‘Starter Pit’ – US$310m NPV10, LoM cash flow $1.165b
THE MAIN GAME
•  Design capacity Port and Road is +3 times starter pit production
•  Double mining, processing and works = 2 times throughput
•  DES capital for these items was $85m
•  Starter pit is 1/5 of the 959 Mt resource, equates to LOM +100yrs
•  30 year LOM implies 3 times increase in production
•  3 times mining rate is achieved with less than 10 loaders
•  Potential mineralisation is 5 times resource and 29 times reserve1

1TotalToliara Sands Project exploration target of 4.7 billion tonnes. Ranobe ~1,400Mt @ 6-7% THM, including 959Mt @ 6.1% Mineral Resource, Ankililoaka ~365 @ 5-6%
THM, Basibasy ~445Mt @ 4.5-5.5% THM and Morombe 2500Mt @ 1-3% THM
These Exploration Targets are at an early stage of evaluation, and the potential quantity and grade remain conceptual in nature. At his stage there has been insufficient
exploration to define Mineral Resources and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of Mineral Resources greater than that already defined.

Starter Pit is JUST THE START ‘Starter Pit’ – US$310m NPV10, LoM cash flow $1.165b THE MAIN GAME •  Design capacity Port and Road is +3 times starter pit production •  Double mining, processing and works = 2 times throughput •  DES capital for these items was $85m •  Starter pit is 1/5 of the 959 Mt resource, equates to LOM +100yrs •  30 year LOM implies 3 times increase in production •  3 times mining rate is achieved with less than 10 loaders •  Potential mineralisation is 5 times resource and 29 times reserve1 1TotalToliara Sands Project exploration target of 4.7 billion tonnes. Ranobe ~1,400Mt @ 6-7% THM, including 959Mt @ 6.1% Mineral Resource, Ankililoaka ~365 @ 5-6% THM, Basibasy ~445Mt @ 4.5-5.5% THM and Morombe 2500Mt @ 1-3% THM These Exploration Targets are at an early stage of evaluation, and the potential quantity and grade remain conceptual in nature. At his stage there has been insufficient exploration to define Mineral Resources and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of Mineral Resources greater than that already defined.
