ANNUAL TORMIN MINERAL RESOURCE AUDIT UPDATE

Mineral Commodities Ltd (ASX: MRC) (“the Company” or “MRC”) provides the below in respect to its annual Tormin Mineral Sands Operation (“Tormin”) resource audit.

A summary of all material information is set out below.

The original Tormin Resource was contained within the quarterly activities report released on 31 October 2011. The Tormin beach deposit is an active placer beach sand deposit limited in extent on its eastern side by coastal cliffs and to depth by bedrock contact. The resource is open towards the ocean and surf zone on its western side, as well as along the coastline towards the north and south. Vertical composite channel sampling took place during November 2017 to January 2018 from 119 test pits dug by excavators. Sampling was subject to XRF and grain counting analysis. No drilling took place.

There were 3,428 grade control analyses undertaken during the year from the 2017 mined blocks and 119 resource control pit samples taken (50m spacing along strandline) at the end of 2017. Due to the low density of resource control samples and unstable nature of the resource, the deposit was again classified into the inferred resource category during the resource audit assessment.

The inferred mineral resource was estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. The geological evidence in this case from historical mine data (3,428 samples) and updated sampling (119 pits) is sufficient to imply but not to verify the geological and grade continuity.

The mine production data has been used to confirm the replenishment nature and remaining resource volumes. As the mining rate is faster than the replenishment rate, the resource grade has been steadily declining over the past four years (Figure 5).

Figure 5 – Graph of resource grades over 4 years

Resource reconciliation indicates a very low correlation between resource grade and mined grade per resource block but a very high correlation between total/annual resource grades and mined grades (refer Figure 6 below). Resource blocks on the beach are not stable due to disturbance in blocks that are not fully mined and then backfilled and replenish during high tide or storms. In addition, material from adjacent blocks get moved by the amphibious excavator and tailings from the process plant that is returned to the beach also adds to unpredictable grade changes.

  • The maximum distance that the resource is extrapolated beyond all sample points is 50m.

  • 22% of the resource volume is based on extrapolated data outside the immediate 119 grade control pit samples.

  • The extrapolated resource is based on current and historical mine data including 3428 mine samples taken during 2017.

  • Resource models and plans are indicated in attached figures.

  • The criteria used for the low resource class classification are the unstable nature of the resource, the limited amount of resource pit samples (119) taken over a resource strike distance of ~9000m, the variable nature of the surface topography which changes even within a weekly period and the fact that the resource is actively being mined.

  • The resource estimate methodology used was Dual Kriging through Fast Radial Base functions in Leapfrog interpolation implicit modelling software.

  • The reasons for the changed tonnage and grade estimates from 2016 are that 2.05 million tonnes of the inferred resource of 1.8 million tonnes were mined and processed during 2017. The resource remains due to the replenishment nature of the resource.

Figure 6 – Correlation between Mined Grade 2017 and Resource Grade 2016

The cut-off grade used was 5% Total Heavy Mineral content. Cut-off grade is based on the economic criteria established by the ongoing mining operations. No modifying factors outside the cut-off grade were applied as the whole resource is actively being mined and the inferred resource cannot be converted to a mineral reserve.

Executive Chairman Mark Caruso said, “There continues to be a strong correlation between the inferred resource and the material mined to date. The 2017 Mined Resource demonstrates a continued volumetric natural replenishment with in excess of 6.55MT having been mined to date against the initial indicated resource of 2.7MT. Furthermore, processing optimisations in 2017 have resulted in additional recovery of VHM which was formerly being returned to the beach as tailings and enhancing the resource grade.

Notwithstanding the reduction in the inferred resource grade, the Tormin Mine remains a World Class Resource and the Company remains confident that in conjunction with the granting of the current Prospecting and Mine Extension Applications, the resource will underpin MRC operations into the future.”

Mining has now been ongoing for four years and a total of 6.55 million tonnes of material has been processed. The tonnage processed is more than the original declared resource tonnage (2.7 Mt) which is indicative of the replenishment nature of the resource where resource blocks gets mined more than once per year.

The inferred resources tonnage remains at 1.8 million tonnes. Resource replenishment is occurring but at a rate that is slower than the mining rate. The Company is unable to report a replenishment grade or quantity under the 2012 JORC code. The Company continues to conduct grade reconciliation and sample grading on a daily basis as part of the mining operation to correlate between stated resource and actual resource in terms of quantity, grade and replenishment.

The resource grade has lowered and total heavy mineral content is now 15.92% at a cut-off grade of 5% Heavy Mineral (“HM”).

The nature of the resource replenishment is typical of modern day beach placer deposits found along the West Coast of South Africa and the Southeastern Tamil Nadu coast of India.

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or
systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling
was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold
that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
 Vertical channel composite sampling within exploration pits.
 Sample taken from surface to bedrock.
 Mineralisation and grade testwork done according mine
control standards within mine site laboratory. Grain counting
and XRF.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary
air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter,
triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
 Test pits by excavator.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
 Large composite channel samples were taken and riffled down
to a representative samples for grain count identification and
XRF scanning.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections
logged.

taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the
in situ material collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
 Samples were riffled.
 Samples were mostly wet from sea ingress/seepage.
 Channel sampling method is only practical method as beach
access time is limited due to sea tide activity.
 Duplicate samples are taken at random for grade control and
also compare with run of mine samples from same location.
 Sampled material is run of mine material and therefore
representative.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments,
etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including
instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,

Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
 The total percentage valuable heavy mineral content was
determined from the individual mineral components and
modelled. A 5% cut-off grade was applied to the inferred
resource volume.
 Composite grade was determined.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole
angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole
length, true width not known’).
 Composite grade over total depth sample was determined as
the resource is mined and processed from surface to bedrock
contact.
 Mineralisation is enriched sedimentary layers semi-parallel to
the bedrock contact and beach slope angle.
 Channel composite sample represent down hole length and
true width is not known.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades
and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting
of Exploration Results.

basis of the mining assumptions made.  Mining is opencast using coffer type dams constructed with excavators.
The pits generally only remain open during low tide, except where beach
conditions allow larger more stable protection bunding to be
constructed. Construction and mining methods are similar to that being
used for beach diamond mining along the west coast of South Africa and
Namibia.
 There is no stripping ratio as material is from surface onto bedrock.
 Natural replenishment of the resource is taking place as the open pits
are filled with HMS material from the surf zone during the next high tide.
Data indicates no correlation (R2=0.04) between the original resource
grade and the replenishment grade for the same mine block area.
 In general it appears that replenishment is erratic and unpredictable. In
some areas zircon grade replenishment may only be 35%, while in other
areas there are a 34% increase over and above the original zircon
concentration. Replenishment appear to be mainly a function of time
and the number of sea storm events. Given enough time between
mining events the resources is currently still replenishing although the
long term trend is a lowering in grade.
 The overall lowering of the beach surface (due to mining) have resulted
in the faster movement of large volumes of material between the beach
and the surface zone than before mining started.

20 times or more.
