High-Purity Products GROWING GLOBAL MARKETS FOR TNG PRODUCTS

==> picture [105 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

TITANIUM DIOXIDE PIGMENT

TiO 2

  • ➢ White pigment used globally, non-toxic and environmentally friendly

  • ➢ Global demand is estimated at

  • 6.5Mtpa, estimated 8.5Mtpa by 2025

  • ➢ 60% used in coatings and 25% in plastics

  • ➢ A depletion of feedstock is forecast and the trend is to secure the feedstock or become integrated like Tronox (1.1Mtpa - 100% integrated), which is the key advantage for TNG

==> picture [105 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

VANADIUM PENTOXIDE

V O 2 5

  • ➢ Strengthening agent, high tensile steel

  • ➢ Global demand is estimated at 170ktpa

  • ➢ 20% yoy increase is forecast due to the implementation of the Chinese Rebar Standard and a vanadium powered energy supply (VRFB) (Roskill)

  • ➢ Super alloys and flow batteries set to grow rapidly - VRFB are the most cost effective and have longer life cycle than Li-Ion batteries (20 yrs vs 5-8 yrs (LIB))

==> picture [105 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

IRON OXIDE Fe O 2 3

  • ➢ High purity hematite is used for steel production

  • ➢ Global demand for hematite is estimated at 2Btpa

  • ➢ Global seaborne demand for iron oxide fines is 104Mtpa

  • ➢ Growing market for fines, and increasing interest from iron makers who are considering hydrogen based fluidised bed direct reduction for producing green steel

Progress in the Past 12 Months

INTERRUPTED DUE TO COVID-19, BUT SIGNIFICANT MILESTONES COMPLETED

  • ➢ SMS group progressing Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED) with Como and Ti-Cons
