EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I am pleased to provide the following update for what has proved to be another particularly busy quarter for Speciality Metals:

EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

MT CARBINE QUARRY

To date the Quarry has been operating well with sales expected to increase as we head into the last quarter of the year. Historically this is the busiest period of the year with much of the pre-wet season work being undertaken by State and Local Councils during this time. The Mt Carbine Quarry has also tendered on a number of significant revenue generating projects, however the timing of these is uncertain due to them being dependent upon the various Government Departments’ expenditure budgets. The usual equipment maintenance and repair work is ongoing.

The Mt Carbine Quarry is a fully permitted and established business which has operated within the Mt Carbine Mining leases for over 20 years. It has significant growth potential and provides a revenue stream. The synergies between the quarry and the Company’s future mining activities are invaluable. It is also worth noting that it is the largest and most northern hard rock quarry in Queensland.

UNINCORPORATED JOINT VENTURE & MT CARBINE RETREATMENT PLANT REFURBISHMENT

The unincorporated JV with Cronimet was established during the last quarter following the successful completion of the acquisition of Mt Carbine Quarries Pty Ltd and the associated Mining Leases. A four-person JV Management Committee has been established with its first meeting being during the quarter. This management team along with various engineers and technical personnel from Cronimet, Speciality Metals and certain external parties have overseen the design of the Mt Carbine Retreatment Plant refurbishment.

Work is well advanced on this project and as previously reported framework and concrete work has been completed. Existing conveyors are being refurbished and significant electrical upgrades and rewiring is underway. All new plant and equipment has now been delivered to site and is in the process of being assembled. The new equipment consists of a Feed Hopper and Grasshopper Conveyors, Jig, Wet Screen, Rolls Crusher, VSD, various pumping and piping along with the prefabricated steel framework supports for the newly arrived plant and equipment. Cranes have also been arranged for the final positioning of the heavy equipment and then the final phase of installation will commence. We are on target for commissioning during the 4[th] quarter of this year.

MT CARBINE EXPLORATION

Whilst the focus during the quarter has primarily been on corporate and retreatment plant upgrades, exploration and tenement administration work has also been ongoing. The Company’s geological team are currently reviewing historical maps of the Mt Carbine EPMs and are in the process of remapping and upgrading the currently available geological data. It is extremely important to keep the database as up to date and accurate as possible as many of our medium- and long-term strategic decisions at Mt Carbine will be based on this information. The team is also reviewing the historical drill core samples and re-assaying selected drill core to gain a better understanding of the extent of the scheelite mineralisation zones within the deposit. Historically it was believed Mt Carbine was wolframite dominated. There is evidence however to suggest this may not be correct and further work is required to be completed before the percentage of scheelite can be ascertained. Obviously, these findings could have a major impact on the future development of the site’s mining operations.

With regards to the Mt Carbine EPMs, various additional subblocks have been applied for and the Company is currently reviewing its subblock relinquishment strategy and is in discussions with the Department regarding this.

CHILEAN EXPLORATION CONCESSIONS

During the September quarter the Company’s Chilean consultants held meetings with the following authorities to discuss its Tamarugual Basin Project within the Tarapaca Region: Regional Environmental Ministry; Regional Ministry of Mines; General Water Bureau; National Forest Corporation; Environmental Evaluation Agency and the National Mining and Geological Service. Meetings have also been held with local politicians such as the Governor of the Tarapaca Region and the Mayor of the town of Pozo Almonte. The purpose of these meetings was to increase their awareness of the regional significance of the Company’s project and its potential economic impact on the region.

A letter of relevance was lodged with the Environmental Evaluation Agency of the Tarapaca Region to request a pronouncement from the authority declaring it unnecessary to submit the exploration project in the Pinta and Bellavista mining concessions for assessment through the Environmental Impact System prior to executing exploration activities such as drilling. This process has resulted in the Company being granted permission to drill exploration wells within these exploration concessions.

Equally importantly Speciality Metals signed a collaboration alliance between its in-country consultants and Santo Tomas University. This has led to a considerable amount of technical work being undertaken on the project. The report on the findings is very near to completion.

==> picture [202 x 338] intentionally omitted <==

Obviously, the recent civil unrest in Chile is causing concerns and whist our consultants are advising this is a shortterm issue your Board is closely monitoring the situation and will consider this prior to any decisions being made on the project’s advancement.

GOLD EXPLORATION LICENCES

Panama Hat – Broken Hill District

The Company holds 100% of EL 8024, Panama Hat, located 20km south east of Broken Hill in NSW. EL 8024 covers approximately 80% of the historical gold workings in the Broken Hill district. The Company’s previous mapping and sampling program had identified rock chip samples of bonanza grade up to 83 g/t gold. This target, whilst drill ready and permitted, is not sufficiently geologically understood to proceed with a drilling campaign. Consequently, our geological team is currently on the ground in the area conducting further sampling and mapping work. Once this exercise is completed and results are known, we will determine if further work is required prior to initiating a drilling program. The Company remains optimistic about this region’s prospects.

Crow Mountain- New England Region NSW

Crow Mountain (EL 6648) covers part of the Great Serpentine Belt in western New England province of north eastern NSW. The dominate geological structure is the north-south trending Peel Fault which has hosted numerous shallow gold workings dating from the 1860’s. The Company’s geological team have reviewed all available data and is in the process of applying for permits for a detailed trenching, sampling and mapping program within this exploration licence. Landholder approvals to undertake this work have been obtained and we will proceed with this work program once the NSW Government application process has been finalised.

CORPORATE

NON-RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENTS OFFER COMPLETED

On 2 July 2019 Speciality Metals’ announced that it would be undertaking a pro-rata non-renounceable shareholder entitlement offer (Offer) to raise up to approximately $2.9 million under which all eligible shareholders would be entitled to 1 new share for every 5 existing shares held in the Company at 0.018 cents per share.
