Projects - Egypt & Australia

Egypt

(1) Abu Dabbab & Nuweibi - Tantalum & Tin

  • Building a world class tantalum mine

  • Start-up 650,000 lb/yr Ta 2O5

  • Targeting 1,000,000 lb/year Ta 2O5

  • Potential >1.5 Mtpa feldspar

1,530 tpa tin 2,350 tpa tin

  • Gold
  • Copper
  • Nickel

Australia

  • (3) Zeehan Tasmania Tin deposit
  • 7.3Mt at 0.69% Sn (In situ 50,000 tonnes tin metal)

Egyptian Project Locations

Sister Metals Tantalum & Niobium

Niobium

  • Dominated by a single large stand alone Araxá deposit containing little Ta (CBMM Brazil)
  • CBMM world's largest reserves of >440 million tonnes at >2.5% Nb 2O5.
  • Open pit quarry 250m deep no drilling no blasting
  • Processing – cheap smelting route producing industrial grade Ferro-Niobium & Nickel-Niobium alloys for use in manufacture of special steels
  • CBMM produces vast majority of world Niobium requirement
  • Has sufficient resources for >100 years production
  • Presently expanding output by 50%

Sister Metals Tantalum & Niobium

Tantalum

  • Occurs mainly in association with Niobium, in varying ratios
  • Apograntite, Pegmatite and Carbonatite host rocks
  • Extracted by gravity separation techniques producing a combined Tantalum Niobium concentrate
  • Majority of Tantalum uses require very high purity (>99.99%)
  • Expensive chemical digestion and separation of Tantalum and Niobium
  • High levels of Niobium a distinct disadvantage
  • Pyrochlore containing ores problematic elevated levels of radionuclides

About the Tantalum Market

  • 6 – 7 million pounds/year as Ta 2O5
  • 60% used in electronics cellphones, laptops, video & still cameras, auto electronics
  • 10% super alloys – jet engine turbines, cutting tools
  • 10% corrosion resistant chemical equipment
  • Australia largest producer Aust Dollar effect
  • Abu Dabbab - the only significant new tantalum project being developed
  • Confusion between tantalum and niobium projects
