Sand Facts

“The global rate of sand use — which has tripled over the past two decades partially as a result of surging urbanization — far exceeds the natural rate at which sand is being replenished by the weathering of rocks by wind and water”

“We just think that sand is everywhere. We never thought we would run out of sand, but it is starting in some places”

“For construction alone, the world consumes roughly 40 to 50 billion tonnes of sand on an annual basis. That’s enough to build a wall of 27 meters high by 27 meters wide that wraps around the planet every year”

“Sand is the world’s most “Sand is perceived as consumed raw material cheap, available and after water and an infinite and that is partly essential ingredient to because the environmental our everyday and social costs are pretty lives” much not priced in”

How Silica Sand is Priced

Silica sand is like iron ore, where various specifications are priced with reference to a key attribute (in this case, silicon dioxide) with price adjustments related to impurity content.

To service glass markets, silica sand must 1 have a minimum SiO2 content of 99.5%

THEN

Buyers look next to the impurity profile to determine 2 end use and the price they are willing to pay

  • Fe₂O₃ is the main impurity of focus (see diagram)

  • Al₂O₃ is the next key impurity of concern (although <2000ppm is generally acceptable)

  • Other impurities such as TiO2, CaO, MgO, Na2O, K2O are also important but generally manageable

Beharra: High Grade Silica Sands

LOCATION

Approximately 100km south of Geraldton, comprising a north- south striking exploration licence covering an area of about 49 km[2]

SCALE

The project lies within the northern part of the Perth Basin and contains a 13km strike length of high grade silica sand

RESERVE/RESOURCE

  • Maiden Mineral Reserve Estimate of 48mt of 99.6% SiO2, 276ppm Fe2O3[1]

  • Mineral Resource Estimate of 139mt at 98.6% SiO2[2]

  • Beharra tenement <40% explored – significant upside remains

  • 90% of resource identified as higher purity white sands

  • Direct shipping potential exists

PROCESSING

  • Detailed metallurgical test work conducted by Perpetual confirmed a simple gravity and magnetic separation flow sheet to produce a concentrate that resulted in upgrading the SiO2 to 99.6% and reduced Fe2O3 content to 276ppm (1,950ppm in situ)[3 ]

==> picture [74 x 205] intentionally omitted <==

  • White sand only development scenario could significantly enhance economics - results pending

PRODUCT

Extensive metallurgical testing has confirmed suitability for the major high growth glass markets in Asia, including the high growth PV solar cell glass cover industry

  • 1 Please refer to ASX announcement titled, “Maiden Ore Reserve and Outstanding Beharra PFS Result Update” dated 17th March 2021.

  • 2 Please refer to ASX announcement titled, “Upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate - Beharra”, dated 9th March 2021.

  • 3 Please refer to ASX announcement titled, “Exceptional Metallurgical Test Results - Beharra”, dated 29th January 2021.

Project Economics

Perpetual’s strategy is to operate with maximum flexibility, aiming to be able to respond to the expected positive changes in market demand. As a result, a flexible cost base is assumed, with potential to reduce opex over time through strategic reinvestment of cashflows into core plant and equipment and/or additional logistics infrastructure.

What Makes Beharra Special

90% white sand

  • White sand has less impurities, the key to achieving a high value product

  • Higher impurities require more processing, which adds to capital and operating costs

  • Yellow sand is only useful for lower value construction sand applications

DSO White Sand Potential

Simple DSO Flow Sheet

  • PEC received unsolicited approach from previously announced offtake party for sales of Direct-Shipping-Ore (DSO) white sand from Beharra.

  • Offtake party undertook metallurgical testwork and achieved a further material reduction in Fe2O3 from Beharra samples.

  • Additional sand samples have now been shipped to the offtake party for further definitive testing to define a DSO product specification and associated downstream market.

  • PEC has commenced a DSO Scoping Study for a potential DSO operation to create an ultra-low capital development pathway for Beharra, targeting delivery by year end 2021.

  • Negotiations and discussions will commence shortly for a potential DSO product to explore innovative commercial profit-sharing models with the interested offtake party.
