Solving Problems

The world is transitioning from a heavy industrialisation phase, where access to lower cost inputs was the priority, toward a technology driven paradigm that aims to reduce the impact of that industrialisation in the continued pursuit of economic growth.

This transition creates great tension between the old and the new, with the principles of the debate often overshadowing practical solutions.

CO 2 emissions are progressively being priced and access to valuable inputs is becoming a strategic, commercial and political imperative.

Utilisation of lower cost resources and the mitigation of CO2 intensive processes represent an abundance of opportunity.

Economic security is the primary policy objective of nations.

Energy and resource security underpins economic security allowing nations to afford the cost of environmentally cleaner pathways.

Coldry Value Proposition:

Spotlight on the thermal coal market

  • ˃ Incremental income from sales of upgraded product enabled by low marginal upgrade cost

  • ˃ Competition – Seaborne Thermal coal trade

  • ˃ To gain competitive space, you must be able to displace others on the supply curve

  • ˃ With current pricing, less than half of supply generates profitable sales for traditional suppliers (horizontal dashed line). Via Coldry (blue line), ample margin is available even at lower pricing levels.

Energy Transition Advisors stated:

“… Current spot prices to be below the “cash costs” of production for nearly one-half of total capacity and to be below the “breakeven coal price” (which includes capital costs and economic returns) for two-thirds of total capacity. Over half of China’s coal producers have cash costs in excess of domestic Chinese spot prices….”

The low rank coal challenge

==> picture [120 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

To enable low rank coal use in higher value applications, it needs to be dried.

  • ˃ High moisture content

  • ˃ Low energy content

  • ˃ Not suitable for use in black coal applications or further upgrading

  • ˃ CO 2 intensive power

  • generation

  • ˃ Significant risk of spontaneous combustion compared to bituminous coal

  • ˃ Limits storage volume and duration

  • ˃ Increased transport cost

  • ˃ Inefficient transportation cost due to carting mostly water

The Drying Challenge

Drying is easy.

Drying efficiently and costeffectively is the challenge.

Coldry meets the challenge.

Achieving a net energy uplift and zero CO emissions at the 2 lowest possible marginal cost, is the goal.

==> picture [120 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

“It is difficult to dry low rank coal with high efficiency. For hard coals, the majority of the moisture is present on the surface of coal particles. Energy required to remove free moisture is simply the latent heat of evaporation (~2.27MJ/kg). In contrast a

considerable portion of the moisture is held by hydrogen bonds in the capillary pores or interstices of low rank coal particles. Hydrogen bonding increases the strength of moisture holding and more energy is needed to remove a certain amount of moisture from low rank coal. Another severe problem with drying low rank coal is the ease of reabsorption of moisture. To achieve deep drying of low rank coal, the number of hydrogen bonds has to be reduced by destroying them either using thermal or mechanical methods, which is the key to any effective drying process.”

The ‘alternative raw material’ opportunity

==> picture [120 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

There exists a vast, ‘above ground ore body’ in the form of iron ore mine fines and slimes, and industrial wastes such as millscale and nickel refinery tailings.

Current processes can’t utilise fines and wastes without expensive pre-processing.

Matmor enables a lower cost primary iron production pathway by leveraging two unique features:

1 Decoupling iron making from coking coal

By utilising the rich organic chemistry within low rank coal, the Matmor process utilises a different chemical pathway to deliver a high quality product without the need for high quality coking coal, resulting in decreased raw material cost and diversified supply options.

Matmor liberates this resource in an efficient, cost-effective manner.

2 Exploiting the ‘above ground ore body’

By harnessing the vast ‘above ground ore body’ that exists as mine tailings, fines and slimes and from industrial wastes such as millscale and nickel refinery tailings, Matmor is able to leverage sunk mining and processing costs by providing a waste remediation solution that turns a contingent liability into a revenue stream.

Tailings storage locks up significant swathes of valuable land. Matmor minimises waste, releasing land for productive use.

Corporate Presentation November 2016 | 36

The ‘steel intensity’ challenge

==> picture [120 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

India is positioned to substantially increase its steel demand, yet is heavily reliant on imports of coking coal and iron ore.

The most powerful forces driving steel demand are aligned. As economies develop and modernise, steel consumption per capita grows, reflecting a wide range of growing applications – basic infrastructure, water treatment plants, food processing distribution centres, roads, bridges – and, as the middle class emerges, durable goods such as appliances and cars.

India has signaled its intent to double steel intensity from 64kg to 120kg per capita per year.

Matmor opens up new domestic raw material supply options in support of growth in emerging nations.

In countries with mature steel intensity curves, Matmor is an ideal waste remediation solution.

Commentary

  • ˃ An inherent strength of the Matmor technology vs. Incumbent steel production technologies is the lower Capital deployed for the same capacity, making it competitive at smaller scale – very important in high Capex industries

  • ˃ Additionally, the diversification away from traditional raw materials provides additional competitive advantage, even in a high cost (with respect to raw materials) location such as India

  • ˃ The TEF basis for raw material input cost data was a H2/2015-H1/2016 average. For Coking coal, that represented $US85 per tonne FOB. In the latter part of 2016, steel production inputs, particularly Coking coal, increased price substantially, more than doubling. That impact is material on the economics – see slide 42 for further analysis.

India: Techno-Economic Feasibility Study

Outcomes :

  • ˃ Energy & Resource security;

  • ˃ Through the Coldry / Matmor innovation, lignite can be used instead of higher-cost coking coal. Soft iron ores, fines, and slimes can move up the value chain, as diversified sources of supply and displace the usage of higher-cost lump ore.

  • ˃ This diversification of supply via the upgrading of lower-value and stranded domestic resources increases self-reliance, assisting India to decouple from the risks of heavy reliance on international suppliers of coking coal, and enabling the use of a broader range of domestic iron ore sources.

  • ˃ Sustainability;

  • ˃ Energy security underpins economic security, which in turn supports the cost of environmentally cleaner pathways.

  • ˃ At the broader national level, increased economic prosperity leads to better ability to invest in, and respond to key environmental outcomes.

  • ˃ The Coldry-Matmor process for steel making has lower emissions intensity than incumbent processes, helping mitigate environmental impact.

India: Techno-Economic Feasibility Study

==> picture [120 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

Outcomes:

  • ˃ Economic security; Underpinned by energy and resource security, economic security drives growth and improvement in the standard of living

  • ˃ Enhancement of economic security can be accomplished through the application of technology to achieve diversification of suppliers and markets, reducing a nation's vulnerability to changes in supply, price, and foreign manipulation

  • ˃ The Coldry and Matmor technologies act as economic levers, upgrading lignite to enable higher value applications that can broaden supply options across thermal coal, gas, oil and fertiliser markets, mitigating reliance on imports.

  • ˃ Coldry increases the efficiency at which the lignite resource is used, extending its useful life or extracting greater value.

  • ˃ Matmor’s potential lies in its ability to take ‘waste’ iron ore, combine it with low-cost lignite and turn it into a high-value product. It opens the door to alternative iron ore sources, diversifying supply and mitigating imports, resulting in an improved balance of payments, increases in GDP and contributes to affordable iron and steel supply in support of infrastructure growth.
