Project Summary
Sustainable Solar Salt Project with Renewable and Value-Added Product Potential
==> picture [70 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
-
✓ Located north of Onslow in the Pilbara region of Western Australia
-
✓ 425km[2] of contiguous licences
-
✓ Currently proposed ~100 km[2] development area, ~25% of project total land position
-
✓ Wash plant producing industrial salt +99.5%
-
✓ Sustainable, natural process enabling production of salt via evaporation of seawater using solar and wind energy
-
✓ Surface geology of the area considered appropriate due to the prevalence of existing supra tidal salt flats
-
✓ Potential to improve the green credentials of the base solar salt project by incorporating renewable and valueadded products
==> picture [549 x 379] intentionally omitted <==

VMS deposits overview
----- End of picture text -----
-
✓ Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) survey commissioned to capture detailed topographic and imagery data of the area
-
✓ Studies to define pond layout and minimise environmental impact to enable future planning and design
-
✓ Evaluate the use of membrane technology and other water separation technologies to pre-concentrate brine and an associated fresh water product stream
-
Reduces the pond area required (reducing capex)
-
Increases the production capacity (increasing revenue)
-
Decreases the time required to produce same amount of salt
-
Freshwater product stream can be utilised to produce sustainable, renewable and value-added products

==> picture [70 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
-
✓ Scoping study to address the renewable energy potential of the project area
-
Exceeds the modest power required to make the solar salt project carbon neutral
-
✓ Additional analysis under way to determine land access requirements and environmental considerations
-
✓ Investigation into potential sustainable, renewable and value–added products
-

Strategically located with strong demand for a multi-user export facility
==> picture [70 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
-
✓ Scoping study investigating the potential for a multi-user export facility
-
✓ FIN is in a unique position to capitalise on demand in excess of its proposed capacity
-
Long life salt project with available infrastructure capacity
-
✓ Advantages associated with the likely jetty location
-
Onshore footprint not constrained by logistical issues
-
Short jetty requirement for transhipment compared to other locations resulting in lower capital requirement
Export infrastructure constrained Iron Ore projects in the West Pilbara

Salt Market Outlook
-
✓ The global industrial salt market is anticipated to rise between 2021 and 2025
-
✓ Insufficient new salt projects resulting in potential supply deficit
-
✓ Increasing Asian chemical production as the global economy recovers from COVID-19 expected to drive increasing salt demand
-
✓ The Asia-Pacific chemical market continue to form the epicentre for global growth in the chemical salt trade
-
✓ A 20Mt shortfall of salt supply is predicted for 2027. With 11Mtpa of bulk salt exports, Australia is the world’s largest exporter of industrial salt
-
✓ Over the next decade, insatiable salt demand from East Asian markets such as China, Japan, Korea Republic and Taiwan is set to create a shortage almost double Australia’s current total supply

McKenzie Springs Project
-
✓ Located 85km northeast of Halls Creek, within the Halls Creek Orogen, Western Australia
-
✓ 14km belt of Savannah style Nickel, Copper, Cobalt and PGM prospective mafic/ultramafic rock package;
-
✓ Fin owns 70% interest and Cazaly Resources Limited (ASX:CAZ) own 30% interest
-
✓ First-ever drilling campaign, comprising of three diamond drill holes for a total of 947.9m has been completed
-
The drillholes were designed to test multiple modelled strong high priority conductors defined from Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) geophysical surveys.
-
Following the drilling, downhole transient electromagnetic (DHTEM) surveying was
-
completed on each drillhole
-
✓ Broad disseminated zones of sulphides were encountered and several weak to strong in-hole and off-hole anomalies were identified, many of which are likely to be related to sulphide mineralisation.
-
✓ Further geological and geophysical modelling is in process
