PRODUCTION VOLUME OF 40,000t AT KVALNES WITH TOTAL POTENTIAL OF 90,000t

Q3 2024

  • Gradual ramp-up to full capacity of 40,000 tonnes at Kvalnes, focusing on capital efficiency
  • Next stage at Kvalnes encompasses 4 new pools, bringing total production capacity to 8,000 tonnes, followed by further expansion
  • Major interventions and blasting to be completed in this stage, meaning that the only required pause in production due to ground works will be in 2024
  • Current production licence of 10,000 tonnes MAB at Kvalnes (total potential of 19,000 tonnes HOG), with further licence applications to be submitted in accordance with the original business plan

STATUS AND PROGRESS – WATERWAYS

  • o Capacity to support annual production of 40,000 tonnes (HOG) of Salmon
  • o Workstream on track
  • o Strong progress in recent months: Reached 90% completion as of 27 November 2024
  • o Total length 4.4 km:
    • o 20 m of outlet waterway remains
    • o 450 m of inlet waterway left
    • o Completed tunnel infrastructure below pools

WATERWAYS ON TRACK

WATERWAYS: INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE Q3 20234

TUNNEL INFRASTRUCTURE BELOW POOLS COMPLETED

  • o 8 x vertical inlet shafts to provide pools with fresh seawater (most adjacent pools share one inlet)
  • o 6 x vertical outlet shafts (adjacent pools share one outlet)
  • o Completed horizontal sections from pools to outlet tunnel

Illustration and photo: Waterways and shafts

STATUS AND PROGRESS – POOLS

  • o Workstream on track
  • o Concrete wall elements produced by factory on site
  • o Columns, supports and preparations for wall elements completed for K1 and in progress for K3

o CONSTRUCTION STEPS:

  • o Installation of walls with Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC)
  • o Preparing technical installations

4 POOLS BEING CONSTRUCTED

STATUS AND PROGRESS – HARBOUR

  • o Workstream on track
  • o Excavated masses from the tunnels and pool pits being moved into place to complete the breakwater
  • o Digging underway to make the harbour deeper

QUAY AND BREAKWATER BEING CONSTRUCTED

SUSTAINABILITY AT CORE OF BUILD-OUT

  • o Utilising masses from pool pits and tunnels as raw material in concrete reduces costs and enhances environmental sustainability.
  • o Saves approximately 23,300 tonnes (equivalent to 780 truckloads) of concrete material being delivered to site.
  • o Masses from pool pits and tunnels also being utilised to create harbour – resulting in mass balance for the prosject

EFFICIENT AND SMART BUILD-OUT PROCESS

Excavated masses from pool pits… …turned into concrete elements

… concrete walls covered with Ultra-High Performing Concrete (UHPC)

…and finally becoming part of concrete pools and harbour

  • PROPOSED NEW LAND-BASED AQUACULTURE REGULATIONS: ANDFJORD SALMON'S RESPONSE
  • Financials
  • Summary and outlook

AGENDA

PROPOSED NEW REGULATIONS FOR LAND-BASED AQUACULTURE

BACKGROUND

o After a two-year standstill period for administering licence applications for land
based aquaculture, the Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries has
issued proposed changes to the regulations to ensure the sustainable
development of aquaculture production on land
o Public consultation deadline: 21 November 2024
o Andfjord
Salmon submitted its response to the proposal on 20 November 2024
o After reviewing the consultation input, the ministry will present new regulations
for land-based aquaculture

o The proposals will not affect facilities that have already received permission for farming on land*

o The proposal removes confusion about which aquaculture facilities are defined as being "on land"

o Proposed requirement for disinfection of seawater at water inlet (Note: Andfjord Salmon has flexibility in design to adapt to changes in functional requirements)

o Positive for the long-term development of land-based aquaculture industry that a revised regulatory framework is reaching completion

KEY POINTS FROM THE PROPOSAL

Q3 2024

RESPONSE TO PROPOSAL

MAIN COMMENTS FROM ANDFJORD SALMON

o No need for universal disinfection requirement.
o Unwise to establish framework conditions that limit the meaning of "sustainable
production" to solely a contamination topic, which in practice will come at the
expense of other vital sustainability parameters.
o Such a "one size fits all" approach
can result in negative consequences for:
o
The the ability of fish to develop basic robust health
o
Energy consumption levels
o
The Norwegian fish farming industry's international competitiveness
o A knowledge gap exists regarding the connection between fish welfare,
biosecurity and the seawater's natural microbiological composition. This void
must be addressed before the authorities implement functional requirements
that will significantly influence how fish is produced on land.

o A "one size fits all" approach to disinfection of inlet water is unnecessary, because prevention of infection to surrounding aquaculture facilities is already safeguarded by current distance requirements between the land-based facility's discharge point and surrounding facilities.

o More knowledge about effects and impacts must be obtained before a general disinfection requirement is introduced. This applies to the treatment of both inlet and outlet water.

o The disinfection requirement is, in practice, not technology-agnostic.

o A consequence of a potential functional requirement is increased energy consumption, which will be counterproductive in relation to the stated ambition that the regulations should "ensure profitable employment and activity along the coastline", because land-based aquaculture facilities are often established in coastal areas that often have a poorly developed power supply network.
