-
♦ Fixed metal recovery formulae and high fixed payabilities
-
♦ Recognises expected Monty ore processing performance and concentrate quality
-
♦ Eliminates Talisman exposure to metallurgical processing and product marketing risks
-
-
♦ Commercial, highly competitive and transparent Ore Treatment Fee (OTF)
-
♦ Incorporates all downstream costs (processing, G&A, transport and conc. treatment/refining)

Logical and low risk pathway with economic benefits shared between JV partners
Mining Joint Venture Agreement (MJVA)
Ore Sale Agreement (OSA)
-
♦ Establishes the rights and obligations of the Springfield JV parties related to activities associated with the development, mining and ultimate decommissioning of mineral discoveries
-
♦ Development and mining of Monty will operate under the terms of this MJVA
-
♦ Applies to Monty ore (and near-Monty extensions)
-
♦ Potential future Springfield JV discoveries subject to separate OSA at discretion of both JV parties
-
♦ Monty ore (at a max rate of approx. 0.4Mtpa) blended with Sandfire’s existing DeGrussa ore feed
Exploration Joint Venture Agreement (EJVA)
-
♦ Point of ore sale to Sandfire is at a dedicated weighbridge near DeGrussa ROM pad
-
♦ Covers the ongoing exploration activities of the Springfield JV on the JV tenements and outlines the rights and obligations of the JV parties
-
♦ Provides a mechanism to progress future mineral discoveries, including the option to utilise the existing MJVA
-
♦ TLM receives net ore sale revenue payment on equivalent payable metal-in-concentrate basis after deduction of Ore Treatment Fee (OTF) per tonne of delivered ore and Royalties
-
♦ Ore sales revenue derived from (independently) calculated head grade, prevailing metal prices, fixed recovery formulae and fixed payabilities
-
♦ Certain components of OTF are subject to annual indexation and/or pegged to annual industry determined benchmarks

-
♦ Recognises all downstream costs post ore sale:
-
♦ Ore processing and associated business services/G&A
-
♦ Concentrate transport and refining costs (~55% of OTF)
-
♦ A dedicated plant usage charge
-
♦ Closely aligned with actual DeGrussa processing, G&A and downstream costs
-
♦ Appears elevated on a per tonne of ore basis due to the extremely high grade nature of Monty ore
-
♦ Concentrate costs actually levied per tonne of conc/Cu
-
♦ Equates to US$0.86/lb payable Cu metal (at spot A$)
-
♦ Modest plant usage charge allows Talisman to avoid a substantial investment in dedicated processing, site services, transport and marketing infrastructure
-
♦ Plus removes all accompanying risk exposures

DeGrussa opex as per quarterly US$ operating data released by Sandfire and avg. 1HFY17 A$/US$ rate of 0.75; all A$/US$ conversions above at this rate.
Adjustments to reflect high Monty ore grade
DeGrussa processing/G&A costs applied to Monty Feasibility Study operating parameters to arrive at notional per pound unit costs.
DeGrussa opex expressed on a per pound contained metal basis; Monty OTF and implied usage charge expressed on a per pound payable metal basis.
DeGrussa transport, treatment and refining cost notionally adjusted back to a per tonne ore cost utilising Monty Feasibility Study operating parameters.
This is an indicative analysis only. The calculation of specific OTF components is notional and derived solely on an implied basis utilising DeGrussa 1HFY17 actual opex. Talisman does not warrant that these implied component amounts align in any way with the specific component amounts of the aggregate OTF within the OSA.

A technically sound and highly economic underground project
All costs borne by the Springfield Joint Venture under the OSA are incorporated in the Monty financial analysis on a 100% basis. As such, Talisman’s underlying economic interest in the development of Monty equates to its 30% interest in the Springfield Joint Venture and is therefore represented by its simple 30% share of forecast financial returns as outlined below.
