As previou s ly announc e d[1][& 2] Ala r a and its J V partner, United Arabi a n Mining C o mpany LL C (Manajem ) entered int o a Heads of Agreemen t (HoA) for t h e Khnaigui y ah Project whereby Al a ra would m ove from it s current 50 % equity position to 60% e quity in the JV Compa n y, Khnaigui y ah Mining C ompany (K M C). In turn , this agree m ent resolve d all outstan d ing historic a l matters b e tween the p a rties and w o uld thus allow the JV t o move forw a rd.
The Comp a ny subseq u ently announced[3] that t he implem e ntation of the HoA, whi c h includes a Road Ma p outlining th e steps the p arties have agreed to u n dertake to g ive effect t o a New JV A greement, h ad reache d an impasse resulting fr o m JV partn e r Manajem’ s failure to c o mply with t h e steps in t h e Road Ma p .
As a resul t of this i m passe, Alara has post p oned prep a rations for a General Meeting to seek Alar a shareholde r approval f o r the issue o f the share s required t o affect the e quity transf e r to Manaj e m under th e New JV Agreement. T h e Compan y will recom m ence this process once the Mining License tra n sfer to KM C is underwa y .
Alara continues to w o rk toward a solution t o the curre n t JV HoA impasse in order to p rogress th e Khnaiguiya h Project in the current rising Zinc price mark e t. Various options and opportuniti e s are bein g progressed in order to m ove the Pr o ject forward as soon as practical.

PROJECT ENHANCEMENTS IDENTIFIED FOR FURTHER STUDY
Based on internal technical analyses and confirmed by the independent Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) Peer Review in the previous quarter, additional technical studies were either progressed, or have been defined and are ready to commence as soon as practical. These studies are designed to materially enhance the value and/or reduce the key risks associated with the Khnaiguiyah Project.
The bulk of these additional Project enhancement studies have or are currently being completed while further work has been put on temporary hold until the Company is able to progress the Project JV. Alara does not intend to expend significant additional funds on Project optimisation until a clear way forward for the JV has been identified and progressed.
The current status of the Project Enhancement Studies is as follows:
HEAVY MEDIA SEPARATION (HMS) EVALUATION FOR THE ORE
-
Test work (at lab or ‘bench’ scale) has been completed and a draft report has been issued. Initial indications show positive amenability of Khnaiguiyah ore to the HMS process. Test work to bring this flow sheet change up to DFS level is pending the resolution of the current Project delay.
-
As reported in the March 2014 Quarterly Report[4] , a HMS plant would allow a relatively coarsely crushed ore feed (4-7 mm diameter) to be processed up front and as a result of this pretreatment, the lighter (non-metallic) silica material included in the ore could potentially be inexpensively separated from the Zinc-Copper bearing rock. The outcome of this process flow sheet enhancement is a 70-90% upgrade in the effective ore grade being fed to the processing plant.
-
Should the test work currently underway prove to be technically viable and economically justifiable for the Khnaiguiyah ore, then there will be an option for the Khnaiguiyah Project to advance on one of two paths:
-
i) Maintain the 2Mtpa ore feed as per the DFS, but change the circuits to have ore pass through the HMS first. This would allow the remainder of the processing plant to be downsized to 1.0-1.5Mtpa thus reducing the complexity and capital cost of the plant; or alternatively
-
ii) Increase the front end feed through the HMS to 3.5- 4.0Mtpa and retain the back end of the process plant throughput at 2Mtpa but due to the upgrade in ore grade, produce up to 1.5-1.8 times more concentrate per annum.
WATER SUPPLY OPPORTUNITIES
- A water supply study has identified several alternative process water supply sources which are being investigated and discussions are ongoing with the relevant government departments and private entities.
COMMINUTION CIRCUIT OPTIMISATION
- Data was provided to external consultants to perform an initial analysis and modelling on the potential to replace the SAG mill with 1-2 crushing units (dependent on crushing unit size and performance of the HMS process – see above) as well as general optimisation of the comminution circuit.
PLANT ORE FEED GRIND SIZE OPTIMISATION
- The grind size employed in the DFS is very fine and there is an opportunity to increase the grind size thus reducing the plant size, power consumption and operating costs associated with wear and tear on materials and parts. A grind size review and potential optimisation study will commence only after the result of the HMS evaluation is finalised.

DARIS/WASHIHI COPPER-GOLD PROJECT
An upgraded Scoping Study for the Daris/Washihi Project in Oman commenced and is nearing completion. External interest in the Project has continued with various parties undertaking due diligence activities.
OPTIONS ANALYSIS/SCOPING STUDIES
As advised in the previous Quarterly Report[4] , the updated Scoping Study was placed on hold pending a full Options Analysis Study[5] .
This Options Analysis Study evaluated the following six project options:
-
Conventional flotation circuit;
-
HMS circuit followed by a smaller capacity conventional flotation circuit;
-
HMS circuit followed by a larger capacity (x2) conventional flotation circuit;
-
Toll treatment of the Daris Sulphide ores;
-
On-site conventional heap leach of Daris oxides; and
-
Continuous Vat Leach of Daris oxides.
Test work on the benefits of including a HMS circuit to the ore treatment process flow sheet proved successful[6] and two variations on the application of a HMS circuit were evaluated (Options 2 & 3 - see above). The application of the HMS circuit to the Daris/Washihi Project provides a material uplift or ‘breakthrough’ as it effectively increases the grade of the material to be processed from 0.8-0.9% Cu to 1.61.8% Cu.
Based on the technical and economic results of the Options Analysis Study, Options 2 & 3 were then selected for inclusion in an upgraded Scoping Study. The Scoping Study is designed to confirm the economic potential of the project and identify the key technical issues required to progress the project to its next phase. The work on the Scoping Study recommenced in the June 2014 Quarter and is nearing completion.
Additional preparatory activity has been undertaken in parallel to prepare a phased Pre-Feasibility Study work program that addresses the issues identified in the Scoping Study. This work program is currently under internal consideration as part of overall Project development planning.
PROJECT PARTICIPATION AND DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES
The Daris/Washihi Project is underpinned by the largest copper resource (JORC qualified)[7][& ][8] in Oman. This fact, coupled with the Daris/Washihi Project’s location, logistics, JV partners and other project parameters, has made this Project attractive to outside groups. Several of these external parties are reviewing the assets and the Daris/Washihi Project to determine if they wish to become involved. This activity continued during the Quarter, together with the evaluation of additional and associated commercial opportunities.

ZINC MARKET
The price of Zinc metal continued to move upwards during the Quarter and into July when the zinc price reached US$1.09/lb. Commentators on the Zinc market believe that the market has moved into up-cycle driven by organic growth in demand and near term supply constraints as several large mines are about to close.
This is aligning well with the project timeline for the Khnaiguiyah Project which is planned to commence production in 2017 when forecasters are predicting a zinc price range of US$1.40-$2.00/lb (Glencore-CRU). Should these prices be achieved they would provide significant upside to the Project economics which is based on a zinc price of US$1.05/lb.
Corporate & Finance
GENERAL
John Watkins commenced as Alara’s Chief Financial Officer[9] on 1 May 2014. This key appointment completed the assembly of Alara’s core Management Team to take the Company through the next stage of its development.
As previously announced[10] , the Managing Director and representatives from Petra Capital conducted an investor roadshow (17-20 June) to Sydney and Melbourne, meeting with existing and prospective investors.
FINANCE & METAL OFFTAKE DISCUSSIONS
Advice was received regarding the application process for Saudi Investment & Development Fund (“SIDF”) finance. The SIDF is mandated to support the industrialisation objectives of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by providing technical, administrative, financial and marketing advice and financial assistance in the form of medium and long term loans to investors in industry. For approved projects in more remote areas of the country, the SIDF can fund up to 75% of construction capital cost and 5-10% of pre-construction cost. As part of funding conditions the SIDF would require a significant portion of concentrate output to be covered by metal offtake agreements.
The Khnaiguiyah Project is believed to meet the SIDF ‘remote location’ criteria. This is supported by written advice received from external financial advisors (KPMG) in Saudi Arabia. The availability of a large portion of project finance from within Saudi Arabia and the need for metal offtake arrangements both reduce project risk in the areas of funding and revenue.
During the Quarter, Alara commenced discussions with metal traders and financiers. These discussions were positive and are being assessed and expanded. Further discussions are planned as we refine the DFS optimisation studies and project finance timeline.
COST CONTROL
A review was undertaken of working capital/operating costs (G&A) with additional and continuing tight control of expenditure. Project costs are also being scrutinized pending resolution of the Khnaiguiyah HoA impasse. The cash operating expenditure was $1,404k in the June 2014 Quarter, and is forecast to reduce to $1,100k in the September 2014 Quarter.

CASH POSITION
Alara’s cas h position a s at 30 June 2014 was $ 3.1 million ( 31 March 2 0 14: $4.9 m i llion). In ad d ition a ban k cheque for the first payment under the Khnai g uiyah HoA of USD 601,000 ($63 7 ,000) is held in escro w pending co m pletion of t h e transacti o n.
Conclusion
Progress o n the techni c al front wa s pleasing f o r Alara’s pr o jects in bot h Saudi Ara b ia and Om a n.
