Why LiOH? Its Physical Properties
New second generation cathode chemistry wet production process favours LiOH - chelates with Fe or Mn salts to produce cathode without roasting
LITHIUM HYDROXIDE
LITHIUM CARBONATE
Cathode crystal structure – Spherical Flow of ions easier Higher energy density for given volume
==> picture [137 x 121] intentionally omitted <==
Cathode crystal structure – Flat, angular More fragile = shorter battery life Often lower energy density compounds

| Annual Production | 10,000t LiOH **8,800t Li2CO3 ** |
|---|---|
| Life of Mine (LOM) | 20years |
| Average Net Operating Cost per tonne of recovered LiOH | US$ 3,878 |
| Low initial capital costs (excluding mineral concentrator and mine) |
US$ 83 million |
| Pre-tax NPV (12% discount rate) | US$ 321 million |
| Payback of capital costs | 2 years |
All analysis is in US dollars and assumes a selling price of US$ 6,900/t for battery-grade lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate, a spodumene input cost of US$ 350/t CIF, an AUD exchange rate of US$1.05 and a MYR exchange rate of US$ 0.32. Operating Revenues and Costs are both escalated at 2% per annum. Capital Costs are valid at September 2012 with an indicative accuracy of ± 35% and a 15% contingency.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
The Scoping Study referred to in this report is based on low-level technical and economic assessments, and is insufficient to support reporting of Ore Reserves using recognised codes or guidelines or to provide definitive assurance of an economic development case, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Scoping Study will be realised.
