Australian Salt & SOP[1] Landscape

==> picture [180 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Mardie: ideal location to produce high-purity salt and SOP

▪ Pilbara has an ideal climate to produce high purity salt

  • High temperature, high wind, low rainfall, low humidity

  • Proven region for production of high-quality consistent salt

▪ Five large WA Solar Salt operations (12-13Mtpa)

  • Controlled by Rio Tinto and Mitsui

  • Operating for up to 50 years

  • No new large Australian salt project in 20 years

▪ Currently two Australian SOP projects under construction

  • All SOP projects (other than Mardie) based on inland lake brines and >800km road transport to third party ports

Mardie Salt & Potash Project

  • Only Australian project with commercial salt and SOP from

  • seawater
