PILBARA LOGISTICS SUPPLY CHAIN INFRASTRUCTURE

==> picture [95 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [394 x 412] intentionally omitted <==

Creating a Sustainable Iron Ore Business

• Install 330km mine to port lightweight, low cost rail system: Bulk Ore Shuttle System ( BOSS )

• Develop fully automated port receival stockyard

• Develop port export infrastructure to support BOSS rail system

• 30 to 50Mtpa multi-user capacity

• All-in free on board cost < US$20/tonne

• BOSS and port infrastructure allows users to become low cost quartile producers

• Strategic assets in one of the world’s largest bulk export ports provides MRL with a logistics infrastructure business with a 30-50 year horizon

14

GAS AND REMOTE POWER

==> picture [95 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Securing Low Cost Power

==> picture [438 x 292] intentionally omitted <==

• Secure long term, in-ground gas reserves to provide fixed price, low cost power to MRL sites and operations

• Develop Perth Basin gas assets and exploration opportunities

• Develop in-house upstream gas processing capability

Control energy costs for 20+ years

Key business development strategies:

1. Expand mining services business by offering long term, fixed price power solutions to clients

2. Create downstream processing opportunities using gas including synthetic graphite, spodumene concentrate and lithium carbonate products

CARBON FIBRE TECHNOLOGY

Industry Changing Innovation

• Established a carbon fibre manufacturing foundry

==> picture [363 x 240] intentionally omitted <==

• In-house designed and manufactured specialist equipment that produces large scale, lightweight structural beam, tubular and plate components

• Components used to produce diverse range of products for the mining industry

• Initial product lines 150/190/240T dump truck trays 150T dump truck tray completed:

• Mk 1 reduces tray weight from 22t (traditional steel) to 9t

• Mk 2 design targeting further weight reduction to 7t

• Tray weight reduction facilitates material payload increase when loaded and creates material fuel/tyre savings when unloaded: ~15% saving in total material movement costs

• Next phase: introduce automation for quicker & cheaper manufacturing

19
