- Q & A



Highlights and main events
- HSE: 1 LTI
- Official opening of Engebø Rutile and Garnet with representatives from local authorities and the government
- First shipment of garnet
- The ramp-up has continued with high operational activity but limited output in the second quarter
- Improvements carried out during the maintenance shutdown in June have been successful and appear to have the desired effect on the process plant
- Production of rutile and ramp-up of garnet and rutile will continue in the third quarter with the aim of being ready for the first shipment of rutile towards the end of the quarter
- Working on an updated strategy to be concluded later this fall
- Verdict in the appeals case between the NGOs and the government
- Remain committed to reaching stable production at design capacity for both rutile and garnet by year-end
Market update
- The titanium dioxide prices were flat in Q2 across most regions compared to Q1
- The demand for titanium sponge remains strong while the pigment segment continues to be weak
- o We expect the market to be flat or slightly down in the next quarter
- The garnet abrasive market is quite tight with growing demand
- o Curtailments in supply from South Africa and delayed commissioning of new production in Australia

- Q & A




Positive results after maintenance stop in July
- Underperforming slurry pumps were modified to achieve design flow rate according to plan
- Adjustments/changes to bulk material handling transfer chutes, were also carried out to improve material flow, reduce spillage and increase operational time on the equipment
- Initial production figures shows performance in line with expectations. The slurry pump performance is being closely monitored as ramp up progress
- Other Inspections, repairs and modifications were done throughout the plant to prepare for increased throughput from mining pit-to-port



Production statistics
Threefold focus for the ramp-up
- Increase towards designed throughput in each mineral liberation and separation step
- Increase operational time of the plant to design
- Increase recovery and production volume of mineral concentrates
Plant throughput achieved after maintenance stop
- 85% design capacity achieved in crushing circuit
- 75% design load on primary mill and into wet plant
- 50% design capacity achieved in dry separation plant
Mineral production
- Mineral concentrates have met expected quality
- The production is still at low volumes to maintain quality
- Continuous tuning of mineral separation equipment
Production continue ramp-up



- Production ramp-up continues with target of stable production at design capacity for rutile and garnet by year end
- Focus on maintaining quality of the mineral concentrates
- We are in a phase with uncertainty, where process equipment has increasing load and extended operating hours.
- We anticipate the need for continued adjustment and tuning in the coming months as we progress towards plant design capacity
