COBALT'S PLACE IN THE EXPANDING "GREEN ECONOMY"
The Tesla Model S Source: www.tesla.com
ELECTRIC VEHICLE INVESTMENT IS RAMPING UP – another key driver of demand. Li-ion (cobalt) batteries are also suited to electric vehicles, where weight and energy density are important factors

Electric vehicles are a key driver for cobalt-based lithium-ion batteries

Tesla has has pledged to build 1 million EV's a year by 2020

Auto giant Volkswagen has recently stated its intention to become a leader in EV's by 2025

Chinese government has stipulated that no less than 30% of new vehicles purchased by the government or the public service will be new energy vehicles

Global demand for EV's estimated to reach ~7 million units in 2020 (compared to 800,000 in 2015)

Stanton Cobalt Deposit, Northern Territory
THE STANTON COBALT DEPOSIT IS IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY, AUSTRALIA
Over 50% of the worlds cobalt is currently 6 mined from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)
It is a potential recipe to cause instability and volatility in supply and demand, particularly through political instability, such as in 2008, when the price rose to over $52/lb
The DRC is also under scrutiny due to the use of child labour and poor working conditions – particularly with artisanal cobalt production
Organisations such as Tesla and Apple have indicated their preference for using ethically mined cobalt from other countries, which could create a large supply deficit
NORTHERN COBALT has recognised the growing importance of cobalt sourced from developed world jurisdictions

STANTON COBALT DEPOSIT
- New JORC 2012 compliant Inferred mineral resource of: 500,000 t @ 0.17% Co, 0.09% Ni and 0.11% Cu
- Mineralisation is
- cobalt dominant,
- at surface,
- open in number or directions
- Sulphide concentrate produced via conventional flotation in historic testing
EXPLORATION TARGET ESTIMATED
An Exploration Target (JORC 2012) of
- 2 Mt grading 0.03 % Co, 0.008 % Ni and 0.5 % Cu to 10 Mt grading 0.12 % Co, 0.06 % ppm Ni and 0.3 % Cu in the immediate vicinity of Stanton Resource.
- The Exploration Target quantity and grade is highly conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource in any of the prospects. LOCATION

Plan of Stanton Deposit Drilling, Interpreted Faults and Domains
- Several drill holes ended in cobalt mineralisation and have therefore not defined the lower depth of the mineralised sequence.
- Stanton drill hole RC22 terminated in 0.3% Co at 65m at the bottom of a 22m intersection from 43m.
- Opportunity exists in this area to further extend the mineralised system which could lead to conversion into additional resources.
