What is High Purity (Class 1) Manganese?

• Electrolytic Manganese Metal (“EMM”) • Used in series 200 SS and specialty alloys • ESTABLISHED DEMAND •

• • Largest market, ~1.8Mt or ~US$4B annually, steady growth • E25 Primary product STEADY GROWTH • Chinese producers: lack of domestic ore = African ore = high costs

• • Well understood • • EASY OFFTAKE Easy to market, simple offtake, predictable pricing, US$2K-$3K/t

• • Bankable • Forms the E25 base case to underpin debt finance • MOST BANKABLE • E25 expects to be the lowest cost producer globally

• Battery Grade Manganese Sulphate • Used in fertilisers and new energy NMC and LNMO batteries • NEW DEMAND •

• • Small market, ~0.1Mt or ~US$0.2B/a, BUT (very?) fast growth • E25 Secondary product HIGHEST GROWTH • Currently produced by dissolving EMM

• • New, fast growing market • • DIFFICULT OFFTAKE Challenging to market for now, small parcels BUT highest price,

• • Huge blue sky upside potential US$3.5-4K/t • BANKABLE?

• • Will increase exposure over time • Market growth potentially 10 fold to 2030 • E25 expects to be the lowest cost producer globally

• Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide • Used in traditional dry cell and older LMO batteries • ESTABLISHED DEMAND • Intermediate market, ~0.4Mt or US$1B annually, steady growth • STEADY GROWTH

• • More difficult to market, long qualifying periods, risky, no price • DIFFICULT OFFTAKE

• advantage • NOT BANKABLE

Competitor’s Costs are Rising

Chinese Producers are struggling to control costs…

• Ageing infrastructure.

• Expensive African ore; local ores are depleted.

• Labour intensive processes.

• Difficulties sourcing labour and rising costs.

• Increasing power costs

• Complex logistics.

• Waste disposal and other environmental problems rife.

Chinese manganese mines are depleted…

==> picture [459 x 285] intentionally omitted <==

• Local production is dropping YoY.

• Grades are declining YoY.

• Imports rising each year.

• Demand continues to grow.

• Ore costs are now the biggest cost driver for Chinese high purity manganese producers.

A Lower Cost, Cleaner Processing Pathway

Breakthrough Technology

• CSIRO co-developed process produces high purity manganese with less energy and lower emissions.

• Products include high purity manganese sulphate (“HPSM”) for NMC Li-Ion battery cathodes and Electrolytic Manganese Metal (“EMM”) for specialty steels.

• .

• These are high value products. Electrolytic Manganese Metal (EMM) >USD$2,000/t[1]

Energy Solution: Gas, Wind or Solar

Electrowinning Metals is Energy Intensive

• Making metal through electrolysis involves passing a current between a cathode and anode through a pregnant liquor.

• Under the right conditions, metal is plated on the cathode.

• Making manganese metal (EMM) takes approximately

• 6.5MWh/t of metal produced.

• Electricity to power the cell house is the largest single cost in making EMM at Butcherbird.

• A cost effective power solution is critical.

Renewable Energy - Lower Emissions and Cost Effective

• Cost of renewables steadily Gas Generation declining. Cost (Est.) • Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuel sources. • Maximising renewables will maximise project economics. Renewable Cost Are Lower: A recent 25 year contract • Reduces carbon footprint. awarded in Saskatchewan was priced at <$42/MWh* • Decarbonises products for end users.

INTERMITTENT DYNAMIC ELECTROWINNING

Upside Case • Optimising electrowinning process to ~90% Renewables utilise dynamic energy supply. • Finding the limits on key variables such as Optimised Case voltage, current density, solution ~50% Renewables chemistry. • Designing management systems to use dynamic energy while maintaining quality. Base Case • Co-funded to $490K by the Australian 100% Natural Gas Renewable Energy Agency (“ ARENA ”).

22

Exporting Renewable Energy as Metals?

• Renewable energy powered electrowinning of metals embeds the renewable energy into the product for export.

• Technology potentially applies to a range of commodities including manganese, copper, lead, zinc, nickel etc.

• Positions Australia to become a leader in renewable energy exports.

• A viable alternative/adjunct to hydrogen exports which are currently a hot topic? Why not?

Competent Person’s Statement

Note: The information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results, Exploration Targets and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Mr Justin Brown who is a full-time employee of the Company and is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Justin Brown has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Justin Brown consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Please note with regard to exploration targets, the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

All references to Mineral Resources pertain to the ASX release dated 16 April 2019. The Company confirms that all material assumptions, underpinning the estimations continue to apply and have not materially changed.
