Mt Marion Equity Divestment
----- End of picture text -----

Highlights:

  • NMT to sell its Mt Marion equity to Ganfeng and Mineral Resources

  • ‘Life of Mine’ spodumene concentrate offtake option rights retained

  • Strategy to produce higher value lithium chemicals underpinned by certainty from proven feed supply

  • Balance sheet strength to support financing and partner selection process for proposed Kalgoorlie Lithium Refinery

Context:

  • Total Mt Marion equity sale proceeds since 2015 will be ~A$198m on A$3m NMT initial investment. ~A$34m returned via dividends and share buybacks

  • Shift exposure from upstream spodumene production to pursue the lithium battery thematic further down the value/supply chain

  • A stronger balance sheet with offtake volume certainty aids NMT project finance and offtake/partner selection processes

Key Terms
----- End of picture text -----

  • Divestment comprises interrelated Sale and Offtake Agreements. Key terms as follows:

  • NMT has agreed to sell its 13.8% in the Mt Marion JV Company (Reed Industrial Minerals, “ RIM ”) for total cash consideration of A$104M (NMT carried tax losses A$115M)

  • Completion by 28 February at latest, targeting 31 January - conditional on Ganfeng securing FIRB and Chinese approvals for the transaction

  • Neometals and RIM parties to an offtake option agreement at completion

  • Life of mine annual option to purchase 57ktpa of 6% spodumene concentrate from February 2020

  • Pricing linked to prevailing lithium carbonate and hydroxide prices with quarterly resets.

Kalgoorlie Lithium Refinery (KLR)
----- End of picture text -----

Neometals is progressing technical and commercial feasibility of a lithium chemicals refinery in Kalgoorlie, with an initial production capacity of 10ktpa of LiOH.

  • Propose to utilise a modern, conventional directconversion sulphate process to produce battery quality LiOH monohydrate from spodumene concentrate

  • The refinery baseload feed Neometals’ offtake option from Mt Marion, will need supplementary feedstock source

  • Successful vendor process flowsheet testing completed by Veolia Water Technologies:

  • run-of-mine Mt Marion sample produced 99.99% pure battery grade LiOH at high recovery rate

  • Similar flowsheet used successfully by leading producers Ganfeng and GRM

  • M+W Group appointed to conduct a FEED Study (currently underway), with Definitive Feasibility Study to be completed Q2 CY19

Drivers for development
----- End of picture text -----

  • Leach residue disposal, a component cost of LiOH opex

  • Cpresently used as a raw material for cement production or ceramics

  • Neometals has proved concept of producing commercially sought type of zeolite from LiOH leach residues at both CSIRO and QUT, Australian Provisional Patent lodged

  • Synthetic zeolites are high value engineered materials

  • Synthetic zeolite applications include water removal from gas streams, gas cleaning, adsorbents, molecular sieves and catalysts

  • Residue displaces high purity industrial chemicals, reduces production cost

  • • Zeolite production and sale has the potential to significantly offset LiOH opex and improve LiOH competitive position

  • M+W (Exyte) conducting cost study and has prior experience in zeolite plant design,

  • Larger evaluation samples being produced at CSIRO and QUT

  • Pilot Plant planned for 2H 2019.

Lithium Battery Recycling
----- End of picture text -----

Neometals is developing a sustainable technology to economically recover critical metals from spent lithium ion batteries.

  • Regulation driving ethical sourcing and disposal of lithium ion batteries

  • Cobalt supply chain under stress - increased demand for batteries, high sovereign risk sources

  • 2017 Scoping Study showed potential for viable process to recover cobalt from LCO

  • Process flowsheet now designed to recover multiple critical metals from LCO and NMC

  • Awarded Modular pilot (100kg/pd) to SGS Canada for completion in 1H CY19 ahead of FEED on 50tpd plant to follow

  • Business model to initially focus on partnerships with auto and battery makers to recycle off spec cells that fail QA/QC and end of life returns.

Demerger Update
----- End of picture text -----

Neometals is still considering the demerger of its Barrambie Titanium-Vanadium Project (“Barrambie”) and associated technology assets into a new ASX-listed company.

  • No change to proposed demerger structure, timing is however under review

  • Mt Marion equity sale will reset some approvals processes (ASX, ATO)

  • Guidance on timing will be given once the Mt Marion equity sale is settled, which is expected Neometals Ltd

  • to be completed in February 2019 (ASX:NMT)
