Quarterly Report March 2016
Altech improves financials of HPA project with BFS update
Altech announced the results of an update to its Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS for the development of a 4,000tpa high purity alumina (HPA) processing plant at Johor, Malaysia.
Results from the BFS were originally announced on 29 June 2015 and since then the Company has worked to further refine the study. Key items of work included optimising the process flow sheet, refining equipment selection and pricing, the critical evaluation of key assumptions and operating parameters and an update of consumables' pricing and sourcing. As previously announced, the BFS review included the kaolin beneficiation plant being located in Malaysia, rather than on-site at Meckering, Western Australia. The updated BFS reports increases to NPV (US$358m[9] from US$326m[10] ); payback (3.7 years from 3.8 years); and IRR (33.3% from 30.3%). Total capex US$78.7m (from US$76.9m), opex per kg of final product at full rate of production US$9.07 (was US$8.14).
The sales price assumption for HPA is unchanged at US$23/kg (US$23,000/t ) foreign exchange rate assumptions USD:AUD 0.70 for capex (previously 0.78 ) and USD:AUD 0.80 for opex (was 0.90 ) . The discount rate applied to cash flows for the 30-year project life is now 9% (was 10% ) , reflecting a lower cost of debt financing due to the Company’s intended application for ~US$40m of German export credit finance from a total project debt estimated at ~US$60m.

Debt funding update HPA project
During the quarter the Company met with KfW IPEX-Bank (KfW) in Stuttgart, Germany to discuss the debt funding for its HPA project. Altech estimates that its proposed HPA project will support ~US$60m of debt. KfW is mandated to provide advisory and structuring services in relation to senior debt funding. Altech has since been working closely with KfW as part of the bank’s comprehensive due diligence process.
With KfW's support, Altech is finalising its formal application under the German export credit insurance guarantee scheme for ~US$40m of project debt. The application amount is based on Altech's estimate of the project capex that qualifies for ECA cover. The additional ~US$20m debt will be at standard commercial terms and interest rates. MD Iggy Tan said that Altech was delighted with the progress of the bank's due diligence. “We have a great banking partner in KfW IPEX-Bank; all things going well, we expect to advance to debt term sheets towards the back-end of this year. In parallel we are working with M+W Group to finalise the detailed design, complete permitting and secure off-take arrangements for the HPA plant's production – all of which will be requirements for debt draw-down”.

Quarterly Report March 2016
HPA demand growth tied to lithium-ion batteries
Since appointing its inaugural sales and marketing manager (China Mr Martin Ma, Altech has developed a deeper understanding of the fast-growing utilisation of HPA for lithiumion battery separators . Mr Ma met with a number of Chinese battery separator producers during the quarter and a considerable level of interest in Altech's proposed HPA product was shown.
The use of HPA embedded in large format lithium-ion battery separators is growing rapidly. HPA is used to increase the battery's discharge rates; lower self-discharge; and lengthen lifecycles. HPA is also used to increase the separator shrinkage temperature and reduce flammability during thermal runaways. Lithium-ion battery producers are reporting battery usage of ~120g of HPA per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
Based on the information gathered by Mr Ma, combined with published Chinese government data about its targeted growth in electric vehicles (EV's), Altech has forecast potential HPA use by Chinese lithium-ion battery manufactures (refer graph below).
The graph shows a low, middle and high forecast of usage. In the middle case, HPA demand is forecast at about 3,936tpa by 2020, which is roughly the annual production capacity of Altech's proposed Malaysian HPA plant.
==> picture [256 x 200] intentionally omitted <==
The forecast demand does not consider Korea (currently the world's 2nd largest lithium-ion battery manufacturer), Japan (3rd largest), Taiwan, or Tesla's Gigafactory in the USA.
The global push for EVs and energy storage is underpinning growing demand for lithium-ion batteries. To encourage EV adoption worldwide, government ownership policies and initiatives are being implemented such as the International Energy Agency’s Electric Vehicles Initiative, which aims to have 20 million EVs (including hybrid cars) on the road by 2020. Also, growth in lithium-ion battery demand from the electricity storage (solar energy) market is reportedly expected to exceed 30% p.a.

Quarterly Report March 2016
Altech signs off-take agreement with Mitsubishi for all HPA production
Subsequent to quarter end the Company executed a 10 year offtake sales arrangement (Agreement) with Mitsubishi Corporation’s Australian subsidiary, Mitsubishi Australia Ltd (Mitsubishi) for 100% of the HPA production from the Company’s proposed Malaysian HPA plant. The Agreement appoints Mitsubishi as the exclusive buyer of the full 4,000tpa production capacity and will commence on the date of first shipment of final HPA product. The contracted sale quantities will mirror Altech’s proposed HPA plants’ production ramp up and account for 100% of planned production. Under the Agreement both parties have set specific off-take sales target quantities, which will be at prevailing market prices.
Altech managing director, Mr Iggy Tan said that securing the offtake arrangement with Mitsubishi is an integral step towards securing project financing. “The 10 year off-take arrangement for the sale of 100% of Altech’s HPA production is a significant milestone and a strong vote of confidence in the Company, the HPA project and the team working to bring it to fruition.
“Altech’s 4,000tpa HPA plant will position the Company not only as one of the world’s largest producers of HPA, but also as one of the world’s lowest cost producers”, Mr Tan concluded.

Altech finalises agreement for HPA plant site – Johor, Malaysia
During the quarter the Company finalised a lease agreement with Johor Corporation securing a ~4Ha plot of land in the Tanjung Langsat Industrial Complex, Johor, Malaysia for its proposed HPA processing plant.
The agreement is a 30-year lease with an option to extend for an additional 30 years (standard terms for land in the industrial complex). As previously announced, the Company selected Johor as the location for its proposed HPA plant based on significant economic and developmental benefits, including the ready availability of required consumables such as hydrochloric acid, limestone, quicklime, electrical power and natural gas – all at highly competitive prices. The availability of skilled labour, proximity to an international container port and international airports (Johor Bahru and Singapore) and the various investment incentives on offer were additional benefits.
Feedstock for the HPA plant will be sourced from the Company's 100%-owned kaolin deposit at Meckering, Western Australia. About 41,000tpa of kaolin ore will be shipped via the port of Fremantle, Western Australia to the Tanjung Pelepas container port, Johor, Malaysia. Operating costs for the proposed HPA plant in Malaysia are anticipated to be ~40% lower compared to an equivalent plant in Western Australia. The s hipping of Altech's HPA product from the Tanjung Pelepas container port to nearby Asian markets will provide both cost and delivery time advantages too.

M+W Group appointed as EPC contractor
During the quarter Altech appointed M+W Group (M+W) as its engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the HPA project; the appointment follows a comprehensive design hand-over meeting held at M+W's Stuttgart headquarters in March 2016.
M+W's appointment marks the formal commencement of the final detailed engineering design phase of the Company's HPA project, in preparation for the commencement of construction. “ We are delighted by the opportunity of being part of this new state - of - the - art chemical facility” said Mr Robert Savarese, Head of M+W Group Global Chemicals Business Development .
With offices in Malaysia and Singapore, M+W will be responsible for the EPC of the Malaysian portion of the Company's HPA project . Assuming the success of Altech's ECA cover application, M+W will play an important role in the management of all equipment and service suppliers as they are highly experienced in managing projects with ECA cover.
Altech's managing director, Iggy Tan said “M+W Group brings vast construction experience and knowledge to the project. With a strong presence in Asia, and specifically Malaysian project construction experience, the use of M+W's local Singapore and Malaysian offices for cost effective construction with detailed design in Germany is a perfect combination for us.”

Grade-control drilling at Meckering
The Company conducted a grade-control drilling program at its Meckering kaolin deposit during the quarter. The aircore drill program commenced on 31 March 2016 at Altech's 100%-owned tenement E70/3923, which is located over private freehold land approximately 130km east from Perth, Western Australia.
The grade-control drilling program will assist the Company in planning its future Meckering mining operation. The proposed Meckering operation will provide kaolin feedstock for the Company's HPA plant at Johor, Malaysia.
At Meckering, the Company is planning to mine ~120,000t of kaolin every three years on a campaign basis with each campaign lasting two months. The raw kaolin will be stockpiled then containerised into standard shipping containers at the rate of ~41,000tpa and transported to Johor, Malaysia for processing into HPA at the proposed plant.

$ 2 m capital raising update
During the quarter the Company raised a total of $2 million: $1.2m via a placement of shares to several professional and sophisticated investors @ 8.6c per share; and $744,000 via a share purchase plan (SPP) with 250 shareholders participating @ 8.6c per share. The funds raised will be applied to finalising the detailed design of Altech’s proposed HPA plant in Malaysia; finalising debt funding for the project; and for general working capital purposes.
Altech managing director, Mr Iggy Tan said, “ T he Company is most appreciative of the strong support shown by our shareholders for the SPP, which follows on from the support of predominantly new shareholders for the share placement. The Company is in ongoing discussions with various other potential investors that were unable to meet the timeline to participate but remain interested to make an investment in Altech", he concluded.
==> picture [94 x 177] intentionally omitted <==
Kaolin mining rights agreement
During the quarter the Company terminated an agreement with Dana Shipping and Trading S.A. (Dana), which granted Dana the exclusive right to mine up to 10Mt of kaolin from the Company’s 100%-owned Meckering kaolin deposit. The Company subsequently received notice of Dana's legal challenge to its termination of the Mining Rights Deed, as announced 29 March 2016. Altech will continue to keep shareholders informed of any developments.
