Mt Thirsty Co – Ni Oxide Deposit

  • Fission has 50% interest (Barra Resources other 50%)

  • -

  • Indicated Resource 15 Mt at 0.14% Co, 0.59% Ni, 0.99% Mn

  • - Inferred Resource 14 Mt at 0.11% Co, 0.52% Ni, 0.77% Mn

  • Total Resource - 29 Mt at 0 12% C. 0 56% Ni 0 88% Mn o, . , .

  • Atmospheric leach test work:

– Up to 75% Ni & 99% Co recoveries

– Not typical laterite - Autoclaves not required

Ltd Fission Energy

Mt Thirsty Co – Ni Oxide Deposit

  • Totally oxidised ore, fine, friable, no drill/blast

  • High grade Cobalt

  • Mineralogy – mostly iron oxides and clay

  • Shallow depth, strip ratio 1.4:1

  • Excellent recoveries; simple robust processing

  • Excellent infrastructure, close to:

– highway, railway, gas, water – Norseman townsite, Esperance port

Ltd Fission Energy

Mt Thirsty Co – Ni Oxide Deposit

  • Potential recoveries to 33,000t Co, 133,000t Ni & 247,000t Mn

  • Potential products: Co & Ni sulphide, Mn carbonate

  • Testing shows relatively low acid consumptions (<250 kg/t)

  • Detailed metallurgical testwork continuing …

  • Pre-feasibiltiy study early 2010
