What we do – clear growth strategy
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [792 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

  • Neometals is pursuing multiple opportunities - strategy is clear

  • Story is not complicated, but approach is different:

  • We identify value – organic (Li refinery/battery recycling) and M&A (Mt Edwards)

  • We build value – with the drill bit/in laboratory then evaluation studies

  • We realise value – with partners to achieve optimum scale, risk and return

  • We return value – dividends and buy backs

  • First-class balance sheet to fund a pipeline of advanced projects (pilot/DFS stage)

  • Assembled a first-rate team with relevant industry experience to develop an ecosystem to deliver technical and economic solutions – pathways to cashflow

  • We align our project development activities with that of underlying markets

  • Neometals to complete current pilot-scale test work, aim to complete December 2019.

==> picture [108 x 109] intentionally omitted <==

  • Neometals and SMS can then form 50:50 German JV Company, aim end of January 2020 to co-fund demonstration plant and Class 3 Engineering Cost Study

  • Post FID, SMS will engineer, construct and operate plants on behalf of JV and on a best endeavours basis procure not less than 50% of the financing required as debt – SMS on of largest largest initiators of German government ExIm financings.

  • Consistent strategy – obtain strong partner to optimize value realisation

  • MOU in place with Manikaran Power (50 Hertz) for jointly funded feasibility evaluation of first lithium refinery in India

==> picture [177 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

  • Manikaran the 3[rd] largest Indian power trading company. Has extensive renewable interests

  • A positive FID will trigger 50:50 JV to develop refinery using NMT Mt Marion offtake option as baseload feed, market validated feedstock

  • Engineering and Feasibility studies targeted for completion by end 2020

  • FID consideration in first half 2021 timed to deliver production into a strong lithium market in structural deficit

  • Important to have local partner with equity stake at project level, rather than just offtake

Potential for significant co-product revenue
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [792 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

  • Developed patent pending process to synthesize zeolite from LR residue rather than traditional chemical precursors

  • Zeolite used as molecular sieve in gas purification, water treatment and green chemistry applications. Large +US$13B market

  • LR waste disposal is costly and can present environmental challenge

  • Converting LR to zeolite solves above and creates opportunity for significant additional revenue to enhance project economics

  • Success in manufacturing two types of commercial synthetic zeolites from Mt Marion and other WA sourced mine feed

  • Early product evaluation shows the specification is close to commercial targets even before optimization from planned piloting

  • Class 4 PFS study has commenced in parallel with product marketing studies and qualification

==> picture [217 x 199] intentionally omitted <==

  • Can be developed with refinery or as stand-alone opportunity

  • Nickel Mineral rights to the Munda Project, M15/87

  • Located right in the middle of the tenement package.

  • Diamond Core drilling here (8.2m @ 2.5% including 2.3m @ 6.11 % Ni)*

  • May 2019 engaged Newexco to assist in future discoveries

  • Many targets left untested ( +50 historical targets )

  • Newexco have noted that previously many inferior geophysics techniques were used (DHEM - coil sensors not fluxgate / Squid)

  • Several targets generated from ground EM (Moving and Fixed loop) remain untested
