INVESTOR PRESENTATION

Please find attached a copy of the current Investor Presentation that is part of a roadshow being conducted by the Company.

OPTIMISATION STUDY – PILBARA COPPER ZINC PROJECT

Work continues on a number of opportunities to improve the financial outcome of the Feasibility Study which have been identified since it was completed in late 2012. These include reducing implementation costs by deferring initial mine development, further optimising the process plant using conventional tailings disposal and rationalising the project infrastructure. There also appear to be opportunities to bring forward production of higher grade ore. Costs also need to be updated to reflect current market conditions.

The funding provided by the NPI from Blackrock will allow this work to be progressed to conclusion and compiled into a formal Optimisation Report. This report is expected to be complete in the December 2015 Quarter.

This work is being advanced as the outlook for continued global growth in both copper and zinc consumption continues to strengthen which, together with the lower Australian dollar exchange rate, provides a strong outlook for the Project.

Zinc price squeeze is coming

Zinc concentrate market deficit expected from 2016

Restricted supply, declining stocks will lead to a paradigm shift in prices

  • Low Zinc price has led to an underdeveloped global project pipeline

  • Urbanisation and industrialisation will drive demand for refined zinc

  • The zinc market will undergo a structural shift from 2017 as supply constraints lead the concentrate market into deficit

  • Forecasts of the Zinc price escalating to $2,600 - $4,000pt 2017-2019

  • The future will be characterised by a roughly balanced market tending towards deficit rather than previous surplus

  • Resulting in a long term price above the historic average of $2000

  • New long term average of $2,800 from 2020 (Wood McKenzie)

Opportunities to optimise the Project identified over the past two years

  • Revised mine plan and schedule to reduce preproduction expenditure and bring forward higher grade ore

  • Revert to conventional tailings placement

  • – Revised crushing, grinding, flotation and thickening circuits

  • Revised infrastructure requirements

  • Bring Kangaroo Caves into mining inventory

Site Infrastructure Layout

  • Reflect current market costs and conditions

Focus on reducing Pre-Production Expenditure and simplifying project

Pilbara Project Highlights

  • 1

  • Combines the largest known Cu-Zn VMS deposits in the Pilbara region of NW Australia

  • Infrastructure on door step, 155 km’s by road to Port Hedland

  • Current metal and exchange rate forecasts confirm an economically robust project

  • Further opportunities to optimise project economic outcomes now being finalised

  • Project is shovel ready- approved Mining Leases, Environmental approvals and Native Title Agreements

  • +10 years mining life from upgrade of existing resources to reserves

  • Large tenure package with significant exploration potential.

  • 1 VMS = Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide
