Inline with our strategy to acquire and invest in undervalued and undeveloped mineral projects we seek to capitalise on an undervalued and emerging cobalt market by acquiring the rights to:

  • § a readily available cobalt rich tailings dam in the DRC copper belt;

  • § a nearby processing facility that can produce cobalt and copper concentrate; and

  • § explore and mine 3 cobalt rich mineralised areas in the nearby Kasombo region.

From Paragon Mining SARL ( Paragon ), a Congolese based company.

Paragon’s holdings/interests that are part of the proposed JV Agreement include:

  • § a 70% interest in the Kipushi tailings dam and will increase that interest to 85%;

  • § 100% ownership of the Kipushi Processing Plant; and

  • § The rights to acquire 100% interest in 3 cobalt rich mineralised areas in the nearby Kasombo region;

  • ( Cobalt Project ) located in the DRC.

Cobalt Project – Acquisition Details

JVCo Paragon 50% CFE 50%

  • § CFE will acquire 50% interest in newly established JVCo, which will operate under Joint Venture Agreement; and

§ Paragon will transfer the Cobalt Project into JVCo.

CFE will be responsible for funding:

  • § the establishment of mining of Kipushi tailings;

  • § modifications needed for Kipushi Processing Plant; and

  • § exploration and feasibility studies at Kasombo.

Page 5 | March 2017

: The objectives of the JVCo will be to

  • § commence mining activities at Kipushi Tailings within 6 months;

  • § commence exploration activities on Kasombo;

  • § complete a Feasibility Study on Kasombo within 18 months;

  • § commence mining activities at Kasombo within 24 months; and

  • § identify and secure other copper, tin, zinc, and cobalt projects in the DRC and Zambia.

Most cobalt is produced as a by product of either copper or nickel production

60% copper production by product

38% nickel production by product 2% primary cobalt production

Cobalt - one of the worlds essential minerals

  • § Lustrous, silvery-blue, magnetic metal;

  • § High melting point (1,495 degrees Celsius);

  • § Maintains strength even at high temperatures;

  • § Maintains its magnetism at temperatures up to 1,121 degrees Celsius;

  • § Used in: pigment, cancer treatment and irradiate food for preservation in some countries (cobalt-60), alloyed for high-tech turbines, magnets, batteries.

Cobalt-based batteries have high energy density, chemistry that is attractive for portable electronic equipment

Global Cobalt Supply/Demand Balance

Page 10 | March 2017

The DRC holds approximately 47% of the global cobalt reserve base. It is the world's single largest supply source with roughly 63% of global cobalt supply originating in the DRC.

The Kipushi Project is located only 25 minutes from the well established mining town of Lubumbashi and is accessed mostly by sealed road.

The Kipushi tailings dam extends over 1km in length, over 400m in width, with an average depth of 8m. It is located approximately 8km from the Kipushi Processing Plant.

Kipushi Tailings Dam – Sampling Locations

Page 15 | March 2017

The Kipushi Processing Plant comprises a conventional flotation plant with a throughput of 150tph and designed to produce a concentrate of:

  • 4,000tpa of Cobalt;

  • 10,000tpa of Copper; and

  • 2,000tpa of Zinc.

The process plant is connected to State power via a 12Mw substation.

Construction of the process plant is all but complete and requires commissioning.

The Kasombo Copper-Cobalt Project ( Kasombo ) is part of the Kasombo Complex, a series of copper-cobalt rich deposits that have been extensively explored by Gecamines and developed and mined by various international companies in joint venture with Gecamines.

Kasombo is at early stage exploration and comprises three separate areas (Kasomobo 6, Kasombo 7 and Kasombo 12) located within the granted mining license, PE 4886.

The Kasombo deposits are within 3-5km of the Kipushi Processing Plant.

Results from random hand held XRF sampling were consistent with and confirmed the previously reported mined copper and cobalt grades by Gecamines and Forrest International Group of between 2.7% to 3.7% copper and 3.5% to 5.3% cobalt.

An extreme high grade rock sample from Kasombo 7 returned a handheld XRF grade of >21% Co.
