Offtake Agreements
-
The Project products comprise Tantalum glass, Tin in the form of crude Tin metal and a bulk Feldspar-silica material.
-
The status of TE’s offtake arrangements for its products is summarised below.
-
Tantalum: TE has entered into an Offtake Agreement with HC Starck GmbH, whereby Starck has contracted to purchase 600k lbs. per annum of Ta in the form of Tantalum Pentoxide for a period of 10 years. The price and the nature of the pricing mechanism is confidential but is a “fixed” price” regularly adjusted for changes in key operating cost inputs. Starck also has a “first right to negotiate” for any additional Ta production and has expressed an interest in this material. However, this is not a "first right of refusal'' and Gippsland has had approaches from other Tantalum refiners in respect of this additional production, above the 600k lbs. not committed to Starck.
-
Tin: At present there are no offtake agreements in place for the Tin metal. However there is a large public market for Tin and, in metal form it is easily saleable on LME markets.
-
Feldspar: No firm offtake arrangements have been entered into but Gippsland has previously engaged in preliminary market evaluation of the Feldspar product generated from the bulk sample test work. Samples were sent to several ceramic manufacturers in the Middle East and in Europe. Each had their own plant and product specific testing parameters and in all cases the tests demonstrated that the Abu Dabbab Feldspar was technically superior to the equivalent Turkish Feldspars in every respect. Gippsland has obtained expressions of interest for 1.7Mtpa of the Feldspar products at indicative pricing in 2011 for $30 and $40/t “FOB Red Sea port” with the lower pricing for the Italian destination. Based on the market information above, Gippsland considers that the market conditions are currently more favorable, especially in the MENA region and expects to achieve similar or improved average pricing.

Concluding comments
REWARDING AND POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP POTENTIAL
: Gippsland is able to contribute
-
Ta'adeen project equity;
-
Feasibility study level technical work on the Abu Dabbab Project underpins 400K Plan;
-
Offtake Agreement for 6 million lbs of tantalum product to a major global tantalum product supplier;
-
Strong technical and operational skills to build and operate the Project, including 10 year “operating” record in Egypt; and
-
Equity and debt market network.
: As an equity partner in Ta'adeen, Gippsland is seeking
-
Established network to provide local insight and facilitate the identification, acquisition and development of MENA region mining opportunities;
-
Strong financial capacity to undertake commercial investments, initially into Ta'adeen and the Abu Dabbab Project and subsequently on a co-funding basis for new opportunities; and
-
Interest to create a significant locally based mining house with expectations to seek a stock exchange listing to provide investment liquidity and new sources of development capital.
