Quarterly Activities Report – September 2018 Released 31 October 2018 Page 1

QUARTERLY REPORT AND ACTIVITY STATEMENT FOR THREE MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2018

Corporate

• Group available cash at the end of the quarter was $1.74 million and now stands at about $2.2 million

Sales & Operations

• Sales in the quarter totalled 978 tonnes as part of regular sales of fertiliser grade bauxite

• A letter of intent to supply chemical-grade bauxite was signed for treatment of industrial waste water in Bangladesh

• A tender submission for a cement-grade bauxite shipment was completed and samples of a suite of products provided for customer assessment

Bauxite Refining Technology

• ABx incorporated ALCORE Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary to fund and manage the ALCORE Project, leading to the construction of an ALCORE Production Plant to produce Aluminium Fluoride (AlF3) & valuable co-products

• ALCORE technology is used to beneficiate and refine raw bauxite with a market price of $50 into high-value products worth more than $US 800 per tonne, including:

• a. Aluminium Fluoride (AlF3) used as an electrolyte for aluminium smelters & lithium ion batteries;

• b. Silica fume for our cement industry customers and manufacturers of low-CO2 geopolymer cement;

• c. Corethane which is an ultra-pure hydrocarbon that can substitute for natural gas for electricity and industrial heat generation and can be used for metallurgical use and brickmaking; and,

• d. Refractory-grade bauxite & potentially high purity alumina (HPA) for making scratch-resistant sapphire glass.

• ALCORE will be the first Australian supplier of AlF3 to the Australasian Aluminium Smelters

• Funding is in place to complete Stage 1, scheduled to take 3 months for final design (now completed), 1 month for final permitting, followed by 3 months construction and up to 5 months of production.

• ALCORE completed on schedule, the design of the Stage 1 plant the ALCORE Research Centre at Berkeley Vale on the NSW Central Coast and has now acquired the required equipment

• Production of AlF3 test samples could commence before year-end, well ahead of schedule

• Once sufficient AlF3 is produced for rigorous testing, the pilot plant will test the production of Corethane, which will provide the fuel for heat and electrical power for the ALCORE Production Plant and will also demonstrate its use as a gas-substitute in gas turbine electrical generators and its use as a diesel substitute for fuel security purposes. Corethane has significant energy and industrial potential

• ALCORE technology is relatively low-risk because it operates at ambient temperatures and pressures

• The ALCORE business plan targets long-established, broad industrial markets with many potential buyers

• Subject to regulatory, statutory and shareholder approvals as required, the ALCORE project is holding discussions with governments, agencies and companies that have showed strong interest in both AIF3 and the main co-products, Corethane and silica fume.

Review of Binjour project located inland from Bundaberg Port, Queensland

• Binjour project total bauxite resources are 40.5 million tonnes comprising 37 million tonnes of thick gibbsite trihydrate bauxite at Binjour plateau and 3.5 million tonnes in the granted mining lease at Toondoon, located 46 kms south of Binjour[ 1]

• Binjour bauxite is 3 to 15 metres thick and comprises 10.4 million tonnes suitable for simple bulk mining and shipping as “DSO Bauxite[1] ” and 26.6 million tonnes containing silica gel veinlets which require processing by ABx’s proprietary TasTech technology to reduce silica and upgrade the Al2O3 content to the target production grade

• Trial mining is planned to determine the optimum mining and processing needed to achieve the Binjour products, the grades of which have been established by a bulk sampling program that subsampled 2,000 tonnes of drillhole samples in December 2017. Binjour’s metallurgical bauxite grades are 44 to 45% Al2O3 & 5% SiO2

• ABx’s marketing partner, Rawmin Industries of India has commenced shipping bauxite to the large alumina refinery of one of the prospective customers in India and has obtained pro-forma contract terms for Binjour bauxite to be sold into China and/or India.

Recent falls in the Australian dollar exchange rate are encouraging. Several sales contracts remained at the Letters of Intent stage for shipments later in the year, subject to prevailing market prices closer to the dates of shipment. Spot shipping costs for next year are currently uncertain due to fuel quality regulation changes that commence on 1 January 2019. This situation is expected to stabilise within months.

ABx’s rehabilitation program at its Bald Hill mine (see Figure 1) completed tree-planting during the quarter.

Penrose Bauxite in Strong Demand

ABx’s Penrose bauxite deposit located in a pine plantation 90km inland of Port Kembla (see Figure 2) contains a layer grading 55% Al2O3 and very low iron content which has potential to make special chemical products, as well as refractory bauxite. The strategy for Penrose is to have markets and contracted customers for each layer of Penrose bauxite.

Three significant corporations are currently engaged and the key task is to design an environmentally optimised project that will extract the maximum value from this rare quality deposit.

Letter of Intent with Aziz Group Bangladesh

Australian Bauxite Limited and Aziz Group of Bangladesh executed a Letter of Intent (LOI) over two bauxite marketing opportunities and future business development. The business relationship is designed to develop markets for a range of ABx bauxite types, focussing on utilizing ABx bauxite’s clean character, free of all deleterious elements.

Chemical Grade Bauxite

ABx has agreed to develop and supply Chemical Grade Bauxite for the manufacture of PAC (Polyaluminum Chloride) for the treatment of industrial waste water in Bangladesh. Industrial waste water is a significant issue for Bangladesh industry and communities with large volumes of waste water from industrial plants needing to be treated.

Aziz Group are a chemical manufacturing group in Bangladesh involved in a variety of chemical manufacturing industries and is also a long-established trading house.

Cement Grade Bauxite

Australian Bauxite Limited will appoint Aziz Group of Bangladesh to be the ABx agent for marketing ABx Cement Grade Bauxite to Bangladesh.

The Bangladesh Cement Industry is undergoing significant growth and an excellent opportunity exists for ABx’s ultra clean and cement specific Cement Grade Bauxite to provide a perfectly balanced blend of Aluminium, Iron and Silica to assist the Bangladesh Cement Industry produce high late-strength cement for the concrete construction industry.

Transport Logistics

ABx and Aziz Group are now jointly investigating shipping strategies between Australia and Bangladesh.

Bauxite Refining Technology

ALCORE’s bauxite refining technology produces Aluminium Fluoride (AIF3) and other co-products including the gas-substitute Corethane to power the plant and Silica Fume for the cement industry which ABx already services with its supplies of cement-grade bauxite. ABx has been in negotiations with potential customers about demand and technical specifications for its AIF3 product. These investigations concluded that there is sufficient demand to ultimately justify a 50,000 tonnes per year AIF3 production plant in Australia, built in 5 stages, each of 10,000 tonnes per year AlF3 production.

ABx will initially control the marketing of ALCORE products to customers in the bauxite-alumina- aluminium industry to enhance cost-efficiency. Currently all AIF3 used in Australian aluminium smelters is imported at prices higher than those paid by their overseas competitors. ALCORE may reverse this situation.

2. AlF3 product &

3. Co-products

Note: Corethane is an ultra-pure hydrocarbon to power the production plant with zero particulate emissions & CO2 emissions similar to natural gas.

ALCORE can also sell electricity to the grid or sell Corethane to industrial customers, several of which have already expressed interest.

Summary

ALCORE’s bauxite refining converts bauxite valued at approximately US$50 per tonne into a suite of products worth in excess of $US800 per tonne of bauxite representing a more than 10-times increase in net value.

Competitive Advantage of ABx’s clean bauxite: zero emissions & wastes: ALCORE technology exploits the uniquely clean nature of ABx bauxite, being free of deleterious elements that would inhibit ALCORE’s bauxite refining efficiency. This allows ALCORE to operate with zero emissions and no waste products, making it easy to site amongst other industrial operations, some of which will be ALCORE’s major customers.

ALCORE can be located anywhere: An ALCORE project could operate anywhere in the world, importing bauxite from any supplier of clean bauxite for less than the $US50 per tonne which is being conservatively assumed in ALCORE’s economic studies.

Therefore, the ALCORE Technology is not affected by resource supply issues and can be located near to its major customers, near sources of low-cost reagents, in areas of skilled and semi-skilled labour and where financial incentives are most attractive for developing these mid-sized value-adding projects.

Risk management: Proven low temperature & pressure technology and achievable product grades

The ALCORE business plan is designed to minimise the financial and technical risks as follows:

1. The technology has been successfully tested twice before, at the rate of 50,000 tonne per year in Japan in 1981-86 and at 5,000 tonnes per year capacity at Cooma NSW in 2002-07;

2. ALCORE technology operates at low temperatures & low pressures with moderate temperature control;

3. ALCORE’s main products in the start-up years 1 to 5 are AlF3, silica fume and high-grade bauxite. These products have deep, well-established markets and can be sold at moderate grades and good prices. This plan for ALCORE’s initial products avoids the market risks of targeting high-purity products which can take several years of process improvements to achieve and often have very few buyers.

Figure 6: Location of Binjour, Toondoon and Brovinia Bauxite Project Areas

ABx and its Indian marketing partner, Rawmin Mining and Industries ( Rawmin ) are assessing the economic viability of the Binjour Bauxite project in the Wide Bay Burnett region, shipping from the Port of Bundaberg.

Mine studies: Mining and processing strategies are being assessed for the project resources, currently estimated as totalling 40.5 million tonnes from Binjour exploration licences[ 1] and granted mining lease at Toondoon[ 1] 46 kms south of the Binjour deposit.[ 1] - see Figure 6 above. Land status studies are well advanced.

Customers: Discussions with prospective customers have commenced and Rawmin has already commenced shipments of its bauxite, which is similar to Binjour bauxite, to one of the prospective customer’s large alumina plant in India. Terms of these sales allow ABx to evaluate the costs and yields from different mining & processing strategies compared with the additional price that can be achieved by that processing.

Rawmin has also introduced a Chinese customer and site visits with this customer occurred during August.

Port of Bundaberg: During May and June, Officers from the Port of Bundaberg investigated all options available at the Port and have located a port stockpile site that can accommodate 175,000 tonnes of bauxite and allow barge transhipment to a deepwater site within the port limits that can allow shipping via Cape-size ships carrying 150,000 tonnes of bauxite, thus achieving lowest shipping costs. ABx and Rawmin officers have inspected the site and reviewed bathymetric data – and agree that this site meets all requirements.

Road Haulage: ABx has commissioned and recently received road transport studies from expert consultants to identify opportunities for cost-efficient road transport from both Binjour deposit and Toondoon mining lease. Trucking costs can now be estimated with greater certainty.

Support: ABx acknowledges the high level of support from QLD State government departments, local councils and the Port authority. There are synergies between this bauxite project and other mining and non-mining industries in this region.

Exploration: Penrose Pine Forest Quarry NSW

The Penrose project is located in a pine plantation adjacent to the major Hume Highway, some 90km from Port Kembla, south of Sydney NSW. It contains a layer of grey-white, low iron bauxite that potentially could be used to produce refractory bauxite or high value chemical-grade bauxite.

Overlying the grey-white bauxite layer is a two-metre thick layer of high grade metallurgical bauxite

Figure 7 Location of the Penrose Bauxite project area

N 10 kilometres ABx conducted significant beneficiation research and development laboratory High grade bauxite in work on the special lowPenrose Pine iron bauxite at its Plantation laboratory in Tasmania which concluded that a combination of several physical sorting methods can significantly upgrade Penrose Bauxite.

ABx is in discussions with two companies that specialise in refractory bauxite and chemical processing of bauxite. During the quarter, ABx continued discussions with a possible nearby customer for the top layer of metallurgical bauxite.

Penrose bauxite is suitable for chemical manufacturing, including polyaluminium chloride (“PAC”) for water filtration.

About Australian Bauxite Limited

ASX Code ABX Web: www.australianbauxite.com.au

Australian Bauxite Limited (ABx) has its first bauxite mine in Tasmania & holds the core of the Eastern Australian Bauxite Province. ABx’s 14 bauxite tenements in Queensland, New South Wales & Tasmania totalled 914 km[2] & were selected for (1) good quality bauxite; (2) near infrastructure connected to export ports; & (3) free of socio-environmental constraints. All tenements are 100% owned, unencumbered & free of third-party royalties. ABx’s discovery rate is increasing as knowledge, technology & expertise grows. The Company’s bauxite is high quality gibbsite trihydrate (THA) bauxite that can be processed into alumina at low temperature.

ABx has committed a large proportion of its expenditure into Research and Development to find ways to capitalise on the main strengths of its bauxite type, mainly highly clean, free of all deleterious elements and partitioned into layers, nodules, particles and grains of different qualities that can be separated into different product streams using physical, chemical and geophysical methods.

ABx has declared large Mineral Resources at Inverell & Guyra in northern NSW, Taralga in southern NSW, Binjour in central QLD & in Tasmania, confirming that ABx has discovered significant bauxite deposits.

ABx’s first mine commenced at Bald Hill near Campbell Town, Tasmania in December 2014 – the first new Australian bauxite mine for more than 35 years.

ABx aspires to identify large bauxite resources in the Eastern Australian Bauxite Province, which is a globally significant bauxite province. ABx has created significant bauxite developments in 3 states - Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania. Its bauxite deposits are favourably located for direct shipping of bauxite to both local and export customers.

ABx endorses best practices on agricultural land, strives to leave land and environment better than we find it. We only operate where welcomed.

About ALCORE Limited:

Australian Bauxite Limited (ABx) has incorporated ALCORE Limited as a wholly-owned subsidiary to fund and manage the ALCORE Project, to lead to the construction of an ALCORE Production Plant to produce Aluminium Fluoride (AlF3) and valuable co-products, using patent (pending) new technology. The ALCORE Technology is designed to convert low grade bauxite worth $50 per tonne into a suite of valuable products worth more than $800 per tonne. Site construction works for Stage 1 of the ALCORE project commenced on 1 July as planned at ALCORE’s preapproved Research Centre in Berkeley Vale, Central Coast NSW.

Stage 1 is designed to produce AlF3 test samples for pre-qualified aluminium smelter customers & then produce Corethane, which is pure hydrocarbon powder refined from low-value coals and has been used to provide thermal and electrical power with low CO2 emissions when used as a gas-substitute to fuel large gas turbine. Corethane has also been used as a diesel substitute for fuel security purposes and is ideally suited for use as a sulphur-free bunker fuel.
