QUARTERLY REPORT June 2016

Quarterly Report June 2016

Altech secures another quality cornerstone investor

During the quarter the Company secured another quality cornerstone investor, MAA Group Berhad (MAAG). MAAG is a Malaysian publicly listed insurance, investment, credit and finance group with total assets of RM1.45 billion and annual turnover of RM484 million. MAAG has agreed to subscribe to $1 million of Altech shares, subject to the approval of Altech shareholders. Altech had previously agreed with MAAG for participation in the March 2016 share placement, however its participation was subject to the completion by MAAG of internal governance requirements and due diligence processes, which have now been satisfied.

A total of 11,627,907 shares will be issued to MAAG at $0.086 per share, which was the March 2016 share placement price. The issu e of the shares is subject to the approval of Altech shareholders because Tunku Ya'acob bin Tunku Tan Sri Abdullah (a non-executive director of Altech) is the executive chairman and a majority shareholder of MAAG.

Upon approval of the share issue, MAAG will hold approximately 6% of the issued shares of Altech. Melewar International Investment Company Limited, a company also controlled by Tunku Ya'acob bin Tunku Tan Sri Abdullah, will hold approximately 9% of the Company.

The share issue to MAAG will bring the total amount raised by the Company during the quarter to approximately $5 million (including $2 million from the sale of an exploration licence E70/3923). All funds raised will be applied towards finalising the detailed design of Altech's proposed Malaysia high purity alumina (HPA) plant, finalising debt funding for the HPA project, and for general working capital purposes.

Altech managing director, Mr Iggy Tan said, “We are very excited to have a cornerstone investor with the pedigree of MAAG join our share register. Altech continues to be most appreciative of the support for the Company and its HPA project by Tunku Ya'acob bin Tunku Tan Sri Abdullah and his associated companies” , Mr Tan concluded.

Altech presents at the 3rd International Sapphire Industry Technology Expo

During the quarter the Company attended the 3rd International Sapphire Industry Technology Exhibition (Sapphire Expo) in Shenzhen, China. The Sapphire Expo is an annual trade show held over three days (22-24 June 2016) , which attracts hundreds of sapphire industry participants from around the world. Participants included sapphire glass and wafer manufacturers, sapphire substrate producers, high purity alumina suppliers, and importantly, representatives from the LED lighting and lithium-ion battery manufacturing sectors. Altech's attendance and presentation at the Sapphire Expo was an opportunity to showcase the advanced stage of its Malaysian high purity alumina (HPA) project, and build international brand awareness for Altech's proposed HPA product – the key ingredient to synthetic sapphire production. As previously announced, Altech executed a 10year off-take sales arrangement with Mitsubishi Corporation's Australian subsidiary, Mitsubishi Australia Ltd (Mitsubishi) for 100% of HPA production from its proposed Malaysian HPA plant. The current forecast demand growth profile for HPA indicates that near term future demand is well in excess of current and known planned supply capacity increases.

Quarterly Report June 2016

Altech generates interest at International Battery Fair

During the quarter the Company generated strong interest as an emerging high purity alumina (HPA) producer at the 12th China International Battery Fair (CIBF) in Shenzhen, China (May 24-26, 2016). The CIBF is held every two years and is a significant event for the lithium-ion battery industry. There is a growing application for HPA in lithium-ion batteries, where it is used as a coating on the ceramic separator sheets that divide the cathode and anode electrodes within the battery. The lithium-ion battery separator sheet membrane acts as a critical safety barrier inside the battery. HPA-coated separators withstand unusually high temperature incursions, increase battery separator shrinkage temperatures, reduce flammability during thermal runaways and thus make lithium-ion batteries much safer. HPA-coated separators also increase battery discharge rates, lower self-discharge, and lengthen battery life cycles. Based on discussions with various lithium-ion battery separator sheet manufacturers at the CIBF, electric vehicle manufacturers are demanding lithium-ion batteries with 99.99% (4N) HPA-coated separators. These manufacturers are reporting usage of between 40-120g of HPA per battery kilowatt-hour (kWh). According to CIBF delegate sources, 99.99% (4N) HPA is currently being supplied to Chinese lithium-ion battery separator sheet manufacturers at RMB180 to RMB200/kg (US$27 to US$30/kg). This supports the long-term price assumption for HPA used in Altech's bankable feasibility study (BFS), which is a conservative estimate of US$23/kg. The particle size of the HPA product for lithium-ion battery separator sheets is required to be ultra-fine, less than 2 microns, which Altech's proposed HPA plant in Malaysia is designed to achieve.

HPA demand driven by lithium-ion batteries

Following its announcement regarding the strong interest shown in the Company as an emerging high purity alumina (HPA) producer during the 12th China International Battery Fair, the Company announced its 10-year forecast of global demand for HPA used in the lithium-ion battery manufacturing sector.

Altech estimated that demand for HPA from lithium-ion battery manufacturers will grow significantly over the next decade from forecast usage of ~1,000tpa in 2016 to ~15,000tpa in 2025; representing an annual year-on-year demand growth of approximately 30% per year. In order to meet this demand, additional HPA production capacity equivalent to four (4) of Altech's proposed HPA plant would need to be constructed and commissioned during the forecast period, as illustrated in Figure 3 below .

Quarterly Report June 2016

Meckering mining lease granted

Altech's mining lease (ML) M70/1334 at its Meckering kaolin deposit was granted by the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) on 19 May 2016. The grant of M70/1334 allows the Company to progress to the next stage of mine development, which is the submission of a mining proposal and a mine closure plan.

Altech managing director Mr Iggy Tan said, “The Company is delighted with the grant of the Meckering mining lease.

" Altech can now progress to the next stage in preparation for mine development, the submission of what will be a relatively straightforward mining proposal and mine closure plan.

“Upon approval of these items, the site at Meckering will be ready for the development of the campaign mining and container loading operation to supply feedstock for Altech's proposed Malaysian HPA plant.

This marks another significant milestone in the advancement of the Company's HPA project”, Mr Tan concluded.

Altech sells EL for $2 million cash

Altech executed an agreement with Dana Shipping and Trading S.A. (Dana) for the sale of its exploration licence (EL) E70/3923 (excluding mining lease M70/1334, owned by Altech) at Meckering for two million dollars. Having already received a non-refundable cash deposit of $250,000, the balance of $1.75m was paid upon the grant of Altech's M70/1334, which occurred during the quarter.

The EL is surplus to Altech's feedstock requirements for its proposed HPA plant. Feedstock for the plant will be sourced from within M70/1334, which contains an 11Mt Indicated Mineral Resource , representing in excess of 250 years of supply for the HPA plant. Altech continues to hold tenements E70/4852, 4856 and 4857 (pending) at Meckering.

Execution of the agreement also settled the dispute with Dana over the Company's termination of the Kaolin Mining Rights Deed (refer ASX announcement dated 29 March 2016 for details ).

Quarterly Report June 2016

Altech updates kaolin resource for Meckering mining lease

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced an updated Indicated Mineral Resource of 11 million tonnes (Mt) of kaolin at 82.7% ISO brightness for its Meckering deposit, which sits within its 100%-owned mining lease (ML) M70/1334. The ML, which was granted on 19 May 2016 is estimated to contain sufficient kaolin mineral resources for over 250 years of feedstock supply for the Company's proposed high purity alumina (HPA) plant at Johor, Malaysia. The updated Mineral Resource for M70/1334 allows the Company to finalise the mine development, which includes the submission of a mining proposal and a mine closure plan. The estimation of a mineral reserve is currently being finalised following grade control drilling that commenced on 1 April 2016. At Meckering, Altech is planning to mine approximately 120,000 tonnes of kaolin once every three years in short two-month mining campaigns. The resultant raw kaolin ore will be stockpiled, then containerised into standard shipping containers at the rate of around 40,000tpa (770t per week) and transported to Johor, Malaysia via the port of Fremantle, Western Australia for processing into HPA at the Company's proposed plant.

Altech managing director Mr Iggy Tan said, “The Company is delighted with the updated resource statement for our recently granted ML. Altech can now progress to the next stage in preparation for mine development, the submission of what will be a relatively straightforward mining proposal and mine closure plan. Upon approval of these items, the site at Meckering will be ready for the development of the campaign mining and container loading operation to supply feedstock for Altech's proposed Malaysian HPA plant. This marks another significant milestone in the advancement of the Company's HPA project”, Mr Tan concluded.

Quarterly Report June 2016

Altech raises $10 million in oversubscribed share placement

Subsequent to quarter end the Company welcomed a number of institutional investors onto its share register as a result of a AU$10 million oversubscribed share placement (the Placement). Placement shares will be issued at 14 cents per share, which represents a 14% discount to the price of the Company's shares at the close of trade on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 21 July 2016.

Funds raised from the Placement will be applied to finalising the detailed design of the Company's proposed Malaysian high purity alumina (HPA) plant, completion of independent due diligence associated with finalising debt financing, closure of debt financing and for general working capital purposes.

Approximately 71.4 million new shares will be issued under the Placement in two tranches. An initial tranche of approximately 39.2 million shares, in accordance with the Company's residual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, will be settled on 3 August 2016. A second tranche for the balance of the shares will be subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting of the Company to be convened in midSeptember 2016.

The Company is delighted that high-quality investment institutions predominantly from Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Asia have participated in the Placement and now join the Company's share register. The Company will continue to focus on building institutional support for its HPA project in preparation for a project finance equity raising that will be required once debt funding arrangements have been finalised.

Altech managing director, Mr Iggy Tan said, “The Company is extremely pleased with the quality and calibre of institutions that have joined our share register as part of the Placement. Most of the participants were surprised as to how advanced the Company is with its HPA project, with the bankable feasibility study completed, off-take in place and the advanced nature of debt funding, all of which has transferred directly into demand for the Placement, which was subsequently heavily oversubscribed.

“Institutional investor representation on the Company's share register has increased from around 9% to closer to 23% following the Placement, with plans to grow it over time”, Mr Tan concluded.

Perth stockbroking firm DJ Carmichael Pty Ltd and Empire Capital Partners with offices in Hong Kong and Perth were the respective lead and co-manager of the Placement. As the Company has already conducted a share purchase plan (SPP) during the proceeding 12-months (March 2016), the Company is unable to offer an SPP to existing shareholders as part of this capital raising (ASIC regulation of not more than $15,000 per shareholder via an SPP each 12 month period).

Breakaway Research Report

Altech featured in a research report titled “Excellent Progress on the Finance and Offtake Front” by Breakaway Research, which was released during the quarter and is available for viewing and download from the Company's website. In the report, Breakaway provide an updated indicative valuation of Altech, with a risked Company valuation of between $40.5m and $137.8m, with a midpoint of $89.1m, which is an increase of around 100% from its August 2015 valuation. The valuation equates to an undiluted share price range of $0.23 to $0.78 per share, with a midpoint of $0.50/share.

Altech participation at the AMEC

The Company exhibited at the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) Convention, which was held over two days (8 – 9 June 2016) in Perth. The conference attracted over 500 delegates from the Australian mining and exploration investment sector.
