Competent Persons Statement

The exploration results in this Presentation, insofar as they relate to mineralisation, are based on information compiled by Mr G.W. McConachy (fellow of the Australasian institute of Mining and Metallurgy) who is a director of the Company. Mr McConachy has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits being considered to qualify as a competent person as defined by the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC code, 2012 edition). Mr McConachy consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Renascor Resources

Highlights

Recent Drilling Nearly Quadruples Resource

  • 60.8 million tonnes @ 7.8% (Total Graphitic Carbon) TGC for 4.7 million tonnes of contained graphite

  • Higher-grade mineralisation of 22.2 million tonnes @ 10.0% TGC for 2.2 million tonnes of contained graphite

  • Considerable scope to add to resource with follow-up drill program (currently underway)

High Quality Deposit

  • Globally competitive size

  • Ideally located in Australia: low sovereign risk jurisdiction

  • Unique shallow, tabular orientation delivers potential for low strip ratio, low-cost mining

  • In progress metallurgical tests confirm recovery of high purity (99% TGC) and coarse (+300µm/+50 mesh) concentrates

Material Upside

  • Siviour is a recent discovery and trades at a material discount to its peers

Re-rating potential

Renascor currently trades at a significant discount to its peers on an enterprise value per tonne basis given the recent and rapid progress at Siviour. Potential riggers for share price re-rating:

  • Market recognition of new Siviour discovery

  • Expansion of Siviour resource

  • Definitive mineral processing

  • Scoping study
