Mt Boppy (past, present & future)

Mt Boppy historically produced 500koz @ 15 g/t from a very contained area

Manuka commenced production of Mt Boppy in April 2020, our IPO estimated Phase 1 production of 22-24koz Au but delivered >41,000koz. (560,00t @ 3 g/t).

Higher grades + plant operating efficiencies combine to drive Phase 1 production to nearly double original forecast*

Mt Boppy is open at depth with possible along-strike extensions to the North and South. The project is fully approved with mine camp, tailings storage facility & power. Updated resource of ~45,000oz at 4.95g/t Au

Appendix 4 The Vanadium Fact Sheet

==> picture [111 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Vanadium Lithium

Vanadium is deemed a critical mineral in: USA, EU & Australia

Vanadium flow batteries now utility/grid storage medium of choice (gaining similar status in grid storage to that what lithium holds in mobility storage)

Demand prediction – double 5yrs

(>20,000t / 55 million lbs vanadium p.a. in concentrate = ~15% of global production)

Safety: Non-flammable,

20 year long-life battery.

Expectations are 8–10 year lifespan. Recycling more
