STRATEGIC METALS

Vanadium-Titanium-Iron:

• JORC inferred resource:

140Mt @ 0.3% V205, 5% Ti02, 24% Fe

  • :

  • Exploration Target[1]

500 – 700Mt

Commercial grade concentrate produced by coarse crush and LIMS

  • :

  • Concentrate upgrading >1.2% V205, 18% Ti02, 55% Fe

  • (0.2% - 0.4% V205, 5%-9% TiO2, 25% - 35% Fe)

  • ¹ The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resources

Why STRATEGIC METALS? Vanadium + Titanium

FUNDAMENTALS :

  • Demand - Vanadium + Titanium forecast to outstrip supply -significant increase with hi- technology advances including (battery cells), and alloy steels / metals production.

  • Price - Vanadium & Titanium prices on the rise

V205 - US$8 / llb and Ferro-vanadium – US$30 / lb

2011 Scoping Study – Key Findings

Mine Life: 24 years

Processing rate (life-of-mine):

5 Mt /annum

Life-of-mine production:

107.1 million tonnes

Process head grade:

Process head grade: 0.33% V2O5, 25.39% Fe, 6.04% TiO2 Total metal production: 349kt V2O5, 27,182kt Fe, 6,463kt TiO2

Total operating costs (excluding royalties): $46.6/tonne

Preliminary capital estimate: $370.3M (for Stage 1 – 2Mtpa) Se $307.6M (for Stage 2 – 5Mtpa) Nett Cash Flow[2] $148.37M / annum

Key assumptions of the Scoping Study included:

Operating costs and pit slope angles related to mining estimated to a Scoping Study level (±50%) Commodity pricing based on a previous 4 year average V2O5 price of US$8.00/lb TiO2 price of US$155.60/tonne Fe2O3 price of US$200/tonne Royalty rate of 2.5% per tonne of plant feed A$/US$ exchange rate of 0.85 US$ = 1A$

2Nett Cashflow is defined as the average undiscounted cashflow per annum after all CAPEX (pre-strip CAPEX, initial CAPEX, and expansion CAPEX has been deducted), but ignores cost or source of capital, hedging, tax, depreciation, rehabilitation and salvage.

FeV Scoping study – a value add product

Mine Life:

24 years

Processing rate (life-of-mine): 2 Mt/annum

Total FeV metal production:

105,000 tonnes

Total operating costs (excluding royalties): $5.36/tonne

Primary Capital Estimate[3] : $43.8M (for Stage 1-2Mtpa)

Nett Cash Flow[4] : $78M/annum

New Total Nett Cashflow[4] :

$226M/annum

Key assumptions of the Scoping Study included:

  • 3 FeV plant capacity capital cost estimate supplied by Snowden and METS includes both direct and Indirect costs (at a Scoping Level Study of ±35%).

4 Nett Cashflow is defined as the average undiscounted cashflow per annum after all CAPEX (pre-strip CAPEX, initial CAPEX, and expansion CAPEX has been deducted), but ignores cost or source of capital, hedging, tax, depreciation, rehabilitation and salvage.
