APPENDIX

Exploration Targets:

The potential quantity and grade in any reference to exploration targets and resource potential is conceptual in nature. 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

Pre-Feasibility Study:

Reference to the PFS is to the ASX announcement on 23rd November has been prepared based on the Company’s presently delineated mineral resource estimate and any investment decision should be considered based on this information.

Key assumptions of PFS include:

  • Operating costs and pit slope angles related to mining estimated to a Pre-Feasibility Study level (±25%)

  • V2O5 price of US$20,305/tonne (> 80% grade)

  • TiO2 price of US$400/tonne (> 67% grade)

  • Fe2O3 price of US$200/tonne (> 66% grade)

  • Royalty rate of 2.5% per tonne of plant feed

  • Discount rate of 8%

  • AUD$/US$ exchange rate of 0.85 US$ = 1AUD$

Nett annual Cash Flow:

Is defined as the average discounted cash flow 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.
