Competent Person

The information in this presentation that relates to the Exploration Results and Phosphate Resources, Production Targets and Cost Estimation was extracted from Minbos’s ASX announcement dated 6 June 2012, 16 October 2013 and 5 December 2013 respectively entitled “Cacata Project – Scoping Study Produces Positive Results” “Minbos announces resource upgrade for the Cabinda licenses in Angola” and ”Cabinda Resource Additional Information” and the Minbos Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and Half Year Report for the period ended 31 December 2014 which are available to view on the Company’s website at www.minbos.com.

The information in the original ASX announcements and the Annual Report and Half Year Report that related to Exploration Results and Phosphate Resources is based on information compiled or reviewed by and approved for release by Ms Kathleen Body, Pr.Sci.Nat, who has over 19 years of experience in mineral exploration and mineral resource estimation.

World • Phosphate demand is underpinned by population growth Growth and driven by food production efficiencies. Sector

Atlantic • Large markets in US and Europe, growth market in Brazil, Market diminishing high grade deposits in North and South America. Location

Low

• High grade starter pit adjacent to infrastructure will Capex provide 9 years mine life before flotation plant is required. Low Opex

Why Angola? – Growth and Resources

==> picture [72 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

  • Africa’s largest oil producer and third largest producer of diamonds. China’s largest oil supplier.

  • Current projects include $10bn LNG plant led by Chevron and $1.2 billion urea and ammonia plant led by Mitsubishi.

  • Fastest growing economy in Africa.

  • Infrastructure investment.

  • Favorable foreign investment policy.

  • Falling oil price to accelerate

diversification.
