Nickel – The Looming EV Revolution
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
Current nickel market size ~2.5Mt
Nickel demand for batteries growing strongly (more than 4X in six years to 2018) but from a low base – still only 145,000t or 6% of market
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
Depending on the scenario for the EV rate of adoption, nickel volumes to meet this additional demand vary between 750,000 tonnes and 2 million tonnes
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
Nickel demand from EV will far exceed nickel production from existing operations in any scenario of EV adoption
Where is the new supply going to come from?
EV nickel demand requires Class-1 nickel provided by sulphide and HPAL projects, rather than NPI which targets stainless steel production.

Preliminary Metallurgical Testwork
Flotation tests deliver +80% nickel recoveries* from Jaguar South and Onça Preta ore
Quality +16% nickel concentrate , with high Fe:MgO (~5.5:1) and low arsenic – highly desirable marketable characteristics
Using traditional “Western Australian” nickel flowsheet and reagents An increase of 25% on historical results , due to changes in feed head grade, grind sizes and reagent selection Metallurgical test work continues at ALS Metallurgy in Perth; new sample has arrived in Perth for testing
First float test on the Jaguar South ore at ALS Perth
+80% nickel recoveries – quality +16% nickel concentrate
- See ASX Announcement of 31 March 2020 for further details of the preliminary metallurgical testwork and results

Centaurus – Key Investment Takeaways
==> picture [16 x 17] intentionally omitted <==
Nickel focus – high-grade nickel sulphide asset with flexible development options leveraged to strong long-term nickel market outlook
==> picture [16 x 16] intentionally omitted <==
Favourable project location - Carajás Mineral Province ;
==> picture [16 x 17] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [16 x 17] intentionally omitted <==
Globally Significant Maiden JORC MRE – 48.0Mt at 1.08% Ni for 517,500t of contained nickel including high grade MRE of 20.6Mt at 1.56% Ni for 321,400t of contained nickel 80% of MRE is within 200 metres of surface

– Resource growth - deposits open at depth and along strike great potential to increase MRE with further drilling – step out drilling underway Greenfields growth - Multiple prospects with walk up drill targets - drilling soon Scoping Study underway
Centaurus represents a rare opportunity to invest in a rapidly unfolding high-grade nickel sulphide growth story in Brazil, at the perfect time in the nickel market cycle.
