Bauxite Refining Technology

• ABx has announced that it has entered into a research and development venture with technology company Refined Ore Industries Limited. The R&D Venture is a bauxite refining technology to increase the value of ABx’s bauxite tenfold , capitalising on the clean chemistry of ABx bauxite, abundant available reagents and processing skills available in Tasmania or in Townsville, QLD as an alternative location.

• The R&D Venture is called ALCORE which is the next stage in ABx’s development of bauxite beneficiation and refining technology. This technology was patented on 5 June 2017 and is designed to produce Aluminium Fluoride (AlF3) which is an electrolyte used to increase the electrical efficiency of aluminium smelters and is also used in lithium ion batteries. The process also produces Corethane Gas[ ®] for energy security.

ALCORE technology upgrades low-grade bauxite fractions, by using waste acids from zinc refineries and fertiliser plants. Reagents are recycled with no emissions, particulates or waste generated. The main makeup reagent is fluorosilicic acid “FSA” which is also used to fluoridate drinking water supplies.

The production plant can operate off-grid by producing its own heat and electricity as a result of coproduction of Corethane gas which is a clean and cheap gas substitute that meets the Finkel Review recommendations on emission targets. The production plant could sell surplus electricity into the national grid at peak demand periods or alternatively, Corethane gas can provide a gas fuel to a major industrial customer (eg. brick plants or aluminium smelters), thus freeing up natural gas supply when it is most needed.

An engineering firm has begun final designs and costings for the Stage 1 plant design. The study is due to be completed in early 2018. ABX will continue wide consultations before making and announcing final funding strategies to create value for ABx shareholders.

Sales

• ABx announced the completion of two sales during the quarter comprising:

• 30,000 tonnes of mixed grade blended cement-grade bauxite, product 04.100; and,

• 5,000 tonnes of cement grade, product 04.15.

The two sales were delivered from Bald Hill mine at Campbell Town, northern Tasmania to Bell Bay Port in early October, 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Both cargoes were shipped from Bell Bay Port on 24[th] October. Invoices have been submitted for the final tonnages sold, based on independent ship surveys.

• Fertiliser grade bauxite sales from the Bald Hill mine have been ramped up to satisfy customer demand over the summer period at modest but valuable prices to supply local industry. Invoices are yet to be submitted for these sales which are ongoing.

Review of Binjour project

• ABx and its Indian marketing partner, Rawmin Mining and Industries ( Rawmin ) have made an application for a Regional Jobs and Investment grant for the commencement of the Binjour Bauxite project in the Wide Bay Burnett region of central Queensland utilising the Bundaberg port facilities. The Binjour Bauxite project would involve the production of beneficiated metallurgical grade and cement grade bauxite from Binjour as well as early production from the granted Mining Lease at Toondoon south of Munduberra.

• Resource modelling is in progress and plans will then be developed for collecting bulk samples of 500 to 2,000 tonnes of bauxite marketing samples for the preferred customer to expedite the execution of an offtake salepurchase agreement for the project. The Binjour Bauxite project resources are currently estimated as totalling 28 million tonnes from its granted exploration licences at Binjour and granted mining lease at Toondoon.

TasTech Process Technology

• ABx has completed a bulk-scale mining and processing project to confirm the effectiveness of ABx’s TasTech technology at Fingal Rail project area, using freshly mined Fingal Rail ore and stockpiled Bald Hill ore.

Bauxite Refining Technology under evaluation

ALCORE bauxite refining technology produces aluminium fluoride (AlF3). ABx has been in negotiations with potential customers about technical specifications for its AlF3 product and it is considered likely that there is sufficient demand for a 50,000 tonnes per year AlF3 production plant. ABx will do all marketing and is pleased to assist its customers in the bauxite-alumina-aluminium industry to become more cost-efficient.

Currently, all AlF3 used in Australia is imported at prices higher than those paid by overseas competitors.

==> picture [437 x 323] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: ALCORE bauxite refining processes low-value, low-grade but clean bauxite into high value AlF3 products that will be sold as a key feedstock for aluminium smelters in Australasia and elsewhere. Smaller but growing tonnages of higher priced pure AlF3 will be sold into the booming Lithium Ion battery industry

==> picture [53 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Current Plan is for a Two-Staged Development

Stage 1: Engineering Evaluation Plant (EV Plant) A$12.5m to A$16m (being costed) Stage 2: 50,000 tonnes per year production plant “ALF 1” for ~A$50m

Timetable Design & costing of EV Plant – by end February 2018 Shareholder consultation & funding strategy – from now until end Q1 2018 Funding – during Q1 & Q2 2018

Marketing samples for offtake contracts - in September &-November 2018 Bankable feasibility study of ALF 1 production plant - by end Q1 2019 Commissioning ALF 1 Production Plant - by end 2019

Why Bell Bay, Tasmania or Townsville, QLD? Available key chemicals, large resources of clean-chemistry bauxite and skilled workforces near under-utilised export ports.

Summary: Bauxite refining converts Tasmanian bauxite valued at approximately US$50 per tonne into a suite of products worth in excess of US$800 per tonne of bauxite .

This represents a more than 10-times increase in value per tonne.

Mine Site Operations

Stornoway Projects Pty Ltd carried out the specialist operations at the Bald Hill Bauxite Project mine site, including an important product assembly procedure that allows the blending of product to customer’s specification. Bald Hill was the first new bauxite mine in Australia for more than 30 years.

Land Transport Arrangements

Dave Wagner & Son Pty Ltd has delivered the bauxite from the mine stockpile to port of Bell Bay ahead of schedule. Wagners transported the previous bauxite shipments and works well with all stakeholders.

Port Arrangements

QUBE Ports at Bell Bay provides the stevedoring services and the stockpiling arrangements, in conjunction with TasPorts.

ABx considers this consistent handling to be the best way to assure the tight quality controls that ABx wishes to be known for in the market. Inspections by two customers’ agents confirmed this. Our customers appreciate that:

ABx bauxite is the best favour they can do for themselves and their cement plant .

Fertiliser Sales Increased

ABx’s sales into the fertiliser industry have ramped up to satisfy customer demand over the summer period. This continues to be a modest but valuable business, supplying local industry.

BAUXITE MARKETS

ABx sells into the strengthening cement markets until Chinese metallurgical demand recovers.

Whilst prices for metallurgical-grade bauxite remain soft, ABx will grow its bauxite business by supplying cement-grade bauxite for making high-strength cement and supplying fertiliser-grade bauxite for making superphosphate fertiliser. As demand for stronger, low alkali cement increases for infrastructure construction, demand should increase for premium cement-grade bauxite such as ABx bauxite which is exceptionally low in alkali salts, is quartz-free and has good materials handling performance.

Infrastructure construction markets

ABx’s low-sodium, low alkali, quartz-free cement-grade bauxite supplies the right forms of Al2O3, Fe2O3 and SiO2 in the correct ratio to increase the production rate of highstrength, corrosion-resistant Portland cement, by stopping kiln blockages, reducing fuel consumption and reducing wear rates on the kiln refractory brick linings.

Figure 6: Graph of Chinese metallurgical bauxite import tonnes. Note the surging tonnages imported into China from Guinea since July 2007 Source: Chinese Customs, Bloomberg

Commentary on tonnages: Demand for bauxite continues to grow in China and globally as aluminium production grows. Indonesia imposed partial bans and high export duties on bauxite in 2012 and imposed a total ban in 2014. Sales to China ceased completely and are only just starting again on a very small scale.

In 2015, bauxite mining commenced from Malaysia along the east coast of the Malay Peninsula and supply that would normally have come from Indonesia was replaced by Malaysian supply in the short-term.

In late 2015, India imposed a heavy export duty on bauxite shipped from India. Almost immediately, China reduced its purchases from India (see heavy red tonnages in Figure 6 above).

During 2015-16, Chinese aluminium companies established their own mines in Guinea and have their own lowcost, large tonnage bulk-shipping supply chains from Guinea to China. Bauxite from Guinea has grown from zero tonnes in October 2015 to become the largest supplier into China, supplying 15.3 million tonnes in the last 6 months, as compared to 12.9 million tonnes from Australia.

Commentary on prices: Metallurgical-bauxite prices fell significantly in 2015-16 as bauxite from Malaysia was dumped into an already weakening bauxite market. Prices remained flat during 2016 as supply from Guinea in western Africa into China grew massively to create a supply surplus. Average prices have risen slightly during 2017 as the proportion of the more expensive bauxite from Guinea has increased.

Figure 8: Chinese metallurgical bauxite import tonnes & prices for major supplier countries in US$ per tonne CIF China. Note that prices for bauxite from Guinea in West Africa are significantly higher than prices for bauxite from Australia, India & Malaysia Source: Chinese Customs, Bloomberg

Since bauxite supply from Guinea reached a stable level in 2016, prices for bauxite have stabilised at their new levels. The relative prices from each country represents a combination of cost of delivery and relative quality differences. This pattern resembles the pattern for other bulk commodities like iron ore and coal.

Overall market commentary

During times of cheap shipping costs, the flood of bauxite from Guinea effectively creates a ceiling on metallurgical bauxite prices, despite the growing demand for imported bauxite in China. China’s strategies to create a reliable and controlled supply of vital bauxite ore supplies into China have succeeded remarkably well.

ABx will sell metallurgical bauxite only when prices and sale terms are attractive.
