Rare Earths
-
REEs a group of 17 elements in periodic table in two distinctive groups, LREEs and HREEs
-
Variable magnetic and chemical properties give rise to many applications
-
Used for energy efficiency, new energy sources and emissions minimisation
-
China currently produces about 95% of world’s REE
-
REEs are 54% of DZP revenue, 30% HREE and 24% LREE

Niobium
==> picture [151 x 114] intentionally omitted <==
-
Niobium (Nb) is a soft, rare metal which strengthens alloys, superalloys and steel
-
Used in pipeline construction, jet engines, heat-resistant and combustion equipment
-
Makes vehicle chassis lighter, reducing overall vehicle weight by 10%, lower fuel consumption and reduces emissions

Outlook
Dubbo Zirconia Project
-
Global strategic significance – a long term project in the zirconium and heavy rare earth industries
-
Substantial cash flows – based on 20 year DFS – ~A$250Mpa
-
Actual mine life – DFS + 50 years
-
Production costs – spread across four products, insulation from price fluctuations
Tomingley Gold Project
-
Cash flow insurance against any DZP delays
-
Provides operating expertise
-
Cash flow – based on 7 year DFS – ~A$20-25Mpa
-
Actual mine life – DFS + 3 years
Exploration
- Tight geographical focus, exploration success, further development potential
Currently cash and RRL shares total ~$130 million
21
