Background

==> picture [205 x 210] intentionally omitted <==

  • Reed Resources Ltd ( ASX: RDR ) is a WA-focused exploration and mining company, listed in 2002

  • 3 main projects across gold, lithium and vanadium - proven strategy to acquire and develop undervalued assets across varying commodities

  • Completed $40 million raising in February 2011 to fund the purchase and feasibility study of 2.5 Moz Meekatharra gold project in Murchison region of WA

==> picture [210 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

  • Continuing to advance two world-class projects:

  • » Mt Marion lithium (Reed 70%) - poised to be the world’s 2[nd] largest spodumene producer in 2012

  • » Barrambie vanadium (Reed 100%) – project has the highest grade reserves in Australia and is forecast to produce +US$110 million EBITDA per year in operation

Location of the Barrambie vanadium project showing proximity to the Windimurra vanadium project and key infrastructure including the Midwest gas pipeline and Geraldton port

Barrambie (Reed 100%)

  • Located 125km north-east of the Windimurra Vanadium Project in the Murchison region of WA, Barrambie has the highest grade vanadium reserves in Australia

==> picture [336 x 240] intentionally omitted <==

  • DFS completed in May 2009 indicating total capex of A$630m, initial 12.5 year mine life and US$110 m annual EBITDA at five year average vanadium price

  • Native Title Agreement in place and PER lodged, with Environmental Approval expected in June Quarter 2011

==> picture [103 x 121] intentionally omitted <==

  • MOU signed with Chinese conglomerate NFC covering fixed price EPC arrangements and financing of the project (expected to deliver significant savings on DFS) - represents the next step towards the successful development of Barrambie

  • NFC are a Chinese company, listed on Shenzhen stock exchange with a market capitalisation of +$3.2bn - primarily engaged in international projects including construction and development of non-ferrous metal resources and the manufacture and sale of nonferrous metal products

Vanadium Redox (Liquid) Batteries

Titanium-Vanadium Alloys Increasing intenisy of use in aerospace

Lithium Vanadium EV Batteries

  • Renewable energy storage, peak shaving, load levelling, backup

Highest voltage → POWER Highest energy density → RANGE Contains 4kg Li, 20kg of V

  • High efficiency, long life >20yrs

  • Variable input/fixed output

  • Power (cell) and capacity (concentration and volume) varied to suit application.

  • 1MWh storage = 9 t of V2O5
