Renascor Resources

Investment Highlights

Australia’s Largest Graphite Deposit

  • Siviour deposit is large, shallow and open along strike

  • Considerable scope to add to resource with follow-up drill program

High Quality Deposit

  • Renascor is targeting a coarse flake, high purity concentrate, with initial petrology testing +80% in super-jumbo, jumbo and large categories

  • Unique shallow, tabular orientation delivering the potential for straightforward low-cost mining

Tier One Mining Jurisdiction

  • Targeting the establishment of cost competitive supply in tier one jurisdiction

Material Upside

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

  • Several near term catalysts offering scope to align valuation with 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.

Triggers for share price re-rating:

  • Market recognition of new Siviour discovery

  • Expansion of Siviour resource

  • Definitive mineral processing

  • Scoping study
