Upcoming events for TSL

Environmental Process to Continue: As announced to the market (ASX:TSL 10/02/2023) the environmental approval process is progressing in Sri Lanka via the external consultants appointed in

2023, and also now with an expanded and focused TSL team on the ground assisting where required.

Community Consultation and Benefits: Working closely with the Central Environment Authority (CEA), the environmental process will address local community issues and concerns as well as regulatory and technical aspects of the Project. Community consultation for Stage 1 has been ongoing and will now expand to include the wider community and leaders.

Highly Qualified Team: The scoping study released in May 2023 (ASX:TSL 12/05/2023) has identified a significant project with Stage One NPV of $545m[1] . The EIA consultants have made substantial inroads to the report, and have also appointed a joint EIA consultant who is a Mannar local and who was previously employed for 15 years at the Central Environment Authority (CEA) and worked on the Adani Wind Farm EIA.

Support and Guidance: The Australian High Commission are providing invaluable support and advice in-country assisting the Project. The TSL team are also working closely with the District Coordinating Committee (DCC) and the Central Environment Authority (CEA) who are working through the approval processes.

Adani Green Energy Wind Farm: The environmental process is being assisted by work already completed at Mannar Island, given Adani have completed stage 1 & 2 EIA’s on Mannar recently for their own green energy wind farm. The Geological Survey and Mines Bureau (GSMB) have confirmed once the EIA is completed, sign off on the IML can happen very quickly thereafter.

Strategic Investment and Offtake: TSL has re-commenced discussions with offtake and strategic partners around the required project Capex of $122m and these are expected to develop further as the mining license process develops. Capital Metals (another HMS project in Sri Lanka) recently agreed terms with Lomon Billions (LB) in China to guarantee 100% offtake and fund 100% of Capex of $80m for a 40% stake in Capital Metals.

TSL would also like to confirm the termination of the previous agreement between TSL and Global Projects Connect (Private) Limited has been affected and all ongoing project management will be handled by TSL’s Sri Lankan team rather than an external consultant.

The Company will continue to provide updates to shareholders in due course as the EIA Study advances to completion, and progresses its mining licence application at the Mannar Island Heavy Mineral Project.
