Profile

Exploration Office: Unit 2, 81 Harrison Road, Dudley Park, SA 5008

Vision: To move from explorer to producer via organic growth of current and acquired Cu-Au, Ni-Cu and graphite projects within South Australia.

Strategy: To concentrate efforts on the identification of worldclass exploration assets of IOCG, magmatic Ni-Cu and coarse flake graphite, thereby attracting developmental funding through JVs with major commodity houses.

What is Graphite?

==> picture [143 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

  • Crystalline carbon – like diamond but planar structure

  • Non-metallic, opaque, grey/black, metallic lustre

==> picture [143 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

  • Flexible, soft, compressible, malleable

  • Properties of metals and non-metals

==> picture [721 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [205 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

  • Superb conductor of heat and electricity

  • Melting point above 3,550[o] C

  • Non-toxic, chemically inert, corrosion resistant

  • High natural strength, stiffness and excellent lubricant

==> picture [721 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

Forms of natural graphite

  • Amorphous graphite : mos a t b un d an t t ype, oun f d i n arge umps, ower qua l l l lit y an d car b on content of 70-85%

  • Flake graphite: rarer, formed in metamorphic rock, carbon content of 80% to 98%. Three ma n s zes: ne - i i fi ( 100 mes h) , me di um + ( 100 mes h) an d coarse + ( 80 mes h) .

  • Vein Graphite: rarest form, only commercially mined in Sri Lanka

Traditional Uses of Graphite

Refractory industry

  • refractory bricks to line blast furnaces

==> picture [721 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

Steelmaking

  • used as agent to increase carbon content (strength) of steel

==> picture [721 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

: Automotive industry

  • crucial component of cylinder heads, gaskets, clutch material, exhaust systems and motors

Other uses :

  • Dry cell batteries

==> picture [409 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

  • Lubricants

  • Sporting equipment

  • C as ngs or e ec ron cs i f l t i

==> picture [409 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

  • Fire retardants

  • Pencils

==> picture [721 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Emerging Uses of Graphite

  • New / Green Initiatives Technology

  • • Alkaline and lithium-ion batteries – mobile phones, laptops, mp3 players, ta bl ets, g ta cameras, y di i l h b r id e ectr c l i vehicles

==> picture [226 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

  • Fuel cellsboats, buses, trains, planes, G

  • solar energy

raphene – New Mirac e l Mater ai l

  • Thinnest and strongest material ever developed

  • Nuclear energy – pebble bed nuclear reac ors t

  • 200 times stronger than steel and can stretch like rubber

  • Carbon fibre technology – used for li hter wei ht vehicles to reduce fuel g g

  • consumption /CO2 emissions

  • C ommerc a sa es pre i l l di cte d to eg n b i before 2015

==> picture [264 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

  • Market size expected to reach US$675m by 2020

==> picture [264 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

  • Applications include: nano-electronics, t ransparen t/ con d uc ti ve ms, energy fil storage devices and thermal management

Why Graphite?

Strong Demand

  • Global demand to increase rapidly from emerging new applications and traditional uses

  • Analysts believe global production will need to double to at least 2.6 million tonnes by 2020

  • El ec r c ve t i hi c es a one w l l ill requ re ur i f th er a fl k e grap hit e o approx. f 460 , 000 t onnes y b 2020

Price of pure graphite has tripled in 10 years and is expected to keep rising

Supply Issues

  • China roduces around 75% of ra hite p g p

  • • China cannot meet demand as 70% of production is amorphous/lower value and cannot be used for new applications

  • The US and the European Union named graphite as supply critical material
