Transitioning to Chapter 2

==> picture [64 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

 Chapter 2 Philosophy and Ambitions

• Multiple mines, multiple products, global market + value-add

 Chapter 2 ambitions are possible following:

• Two strategic acquisitions of mineral sands projects in Western Australia in 1H 2022

• Eneabba Tenements added ~200mt of Mineral Resources and increased dry mining Mineral Resources portfolio threefold

• McCalls Project added 5.8 billion tonnes of Mineral Resources and increased total Mineral Resources portfolio a further 10-fold

Transitioning to Chapter 2

==> picture [64 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

 Chapter 2 Philosophy and Ambitions

 Multiple mines, multiple products, global market + value-add

 Chapter 2 ambitions are possible following:

• Two strategic acquisitions of mineral sands projects in Western Australia in 1H 2022

• Eneabba Tenements added ~200mt of Mineral Resources and increased dry mining Mineral Resources portfolio threefold

• McCalls Project added 5.8 billion tonnes of Mineral Resources and increased total Mineral Resources portfolio a further 10-fold

 Adoption of new growth and sustainability strategy in 2H 2022

• Develop multiple projects to be operated simultaneously

• Separate HMC into multiple products (zircon, ilmenite, rutile, leucoxene, monazite etc.) for sale into global markets

• Convert ilmenite to high-value synthetic rutile (SR) using novel pyroprocessing technology with green(?) hydrogen as the iron reductant to produce SR with lower CO2 emissions

• Bar graphs represent rough min and max commodity prices across CY2021-22 (for relative comparison only). Source: FerroAlloyNet.com

Notes: Mineral assemblage information in line graph taken from Mineral Resources statement – Table 2, attached to this presentation. Synthetic rutile (SR) does not occur naturally in HM assemblage but can be produced by upgrading of ilmenite. It is included in assemblage graph for relative price positioning compared to naturally occurring commodities. Upgrading of ilmenite to SR results in a mass loss of approximately 40% from removal of the iron and adds substantial operating costs for thermal conversion and iron removal.

Preliminary Conceptual Plan

==> picture [64 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Cautionary statement:

The following conceptual plan should only be read in conjunction with the Disclaimer and Forward-Looking Statements at the beginning of this presentation. The information provided in the following preliminary plan is conceptual and aspirational and should not be relied upon for investment decisions, as appropriate independent studies have not been completed on many of the projects shown in this plan. Several studies are underway and others are planned and the information from each will be when available. information on study published Any potential production levels or mine life are based solely on simplistic forecasts of conceptual processing rates and on potential for future Ore Reserves, which is uncertain and may not materialise.
