HIGH PURITY ALUMINA – HPA

Global total demand for HPA in 2022 was between 60,000 tpa

and 80,000 tpa

==> picture [358 x 51] intentionally omitted <==

THE PREDICTED NEW MARKETS FOR HPA ARE SIGNIFICANT AND INCLUDE:[1]

  • 4N (99.99%) A1 0 PRODUCED 2 3

  • FROM VICTORY BORE MATERIAL

  • FURTHER TEST

WORK UNDERWAY

  • HPA CURRENTLY SELLS FOR >$20,000 USD / TONNE

  • LED REPLACEMENT LIGHTING

  • CO2 EMISSION SEPARATORS

• SEMI-CONDUCTORS • LITHIUM ION BATTERY CELLS

Annual demand growth is between 13.5% and >20%

THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

ON SHORE MAGNETITE PRODUCTION.

CONCENTRATE SHIPPED FOR DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING. OFF SHORE PROCESSING IN SAUDI ARABIA.

  • The KSA is a significant user of vanadium products, particularly in its steel sector where demand is estimated at 10 - 12 ktpa and growing at 4 - 5% Year on Year.

  • • High Purity Alumina (HPA) feedstock from Victory Bore could also be processed in KSA where demand is increasing or for export to Europe.

  • Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

  • • A low capital cost operation in Australia, with value-add downstream processing and production of high value products in a low energy cost jurisdiction.
