2017 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

Welcome to the 2017 Annual General Meeting of MetalsTech Limited. My name is Russell Moran, the Executive Chairman of the Company.

Our Company has achieved significant progress during the nine months since listing on the ASX in February 2017. We have been successful in building a portfolio of high-grade lithium projects in Quebec and high-grade cobalt assets in Ontario, Canada and have strengthened out shareholder base.

The lithium-ion battery sector is moving from strength to strength and we are positioned to take advantage of this once in a lifetime global shift in the way we store and use energy.

In October, we entered into a binding agreement with Wuxi Baichuan Chemical Industrial Co Ltd to sell a 10% stake in the Company. This is a strategic milestone for the Company and represents an opportunity to develop a downstream strategy where MetalsTech may seek to produce a lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide in-country with the help of a strong financial and technical partner.

While still early days in our corporate strategy, we continue to de-risk our projects and deliver shareholder value.

The Phase I diamond drilling campaign at our flagship Cancet project commenced in March 2017 and defined a near surface high-grade lithium deposit close to key infrastructure including power, water and road. A follow-on regional mapping and sampling program was later completed together with highresolution magnetic and LiDAR surveys. This information has allowed us to execute a Phase II diamond drilling campaign which extended the mineralised strike and provided more confidence around the grade and continuity of the deposit.

The next stage at Cancet involves a circa 6,000m drilling campaign which will test the down-dip extensions of the mineralisation as well as testing mineralisation at depth. We will also continue with advanced metallurgical and mineralogy test work, and commence purity tests on lithium carbonate produced from Cancet spodumene.

We are particularly excited to commence a maiden drilling program at the Adina project in January 2018 where we are hopeful of delineating a significant lithium deposit that may be synergistic to the development of Cancet.

As a junior explorer, our focus remains on ensuring that we continue to deliver value to our shareholders and de-risk our exploration projects.

We look forward to advancing the iCobalt spinout, where we plan to arrange dedicated funding and management for our high grade cobalt assets in Ontario through a separately ASX listed venture.

We would like to thank both new shareholders and old for their continued support and I look forward to delivering on our corporate strategy and driving shareholder value into 2018.

Sincerely,

Russell Moran Executive Chairman
