  • World Class – one of the world’s largest vanadium deposits. Total JORC Resource of 662 Mt at 0.77% V2O5 (including 188 Mt at 1.23% V2O5).

  • Contained metal (V) – the mineral resource contains 244 million tonnes of magnetite @ 2.14% V2O5 (in magnetite concentrate), for 5,214,000 tonnes of V2O5 based on an average 36.85% in situ magnetite content and using an insitu 0.45% V2O5 cut-off grade.

  • Potential Flake production - based on an average V2O5 recovery of 81% to produce a >98% V2O5 flake product, a total of 2.4 Mt tonnes of saleable Vanadium flake may be produced from the measured and indicated resource.

  • Long life and high grade – long life open pit mining generates high grade Vanadium concentrate of 1,9-2.2% V2O5 post beneficiation with low silica and alumina contents required for downstream processing, which will facilitate the production of >98% V2O5 flake using a conventional Salt Roast Leach (“ SRL ”) process.

  • The Bushveld Complex – within the famous Bushveld Complex, home to some of the richest vanadium deposits in the world.

  • Infrastructure – close to existing underutilized processing plants, power and water nearby with proven road & rail options to port.

  • Scoping Study – the Project generated a post-tax NPV8% of between US$359M and US$401M based on a Vanadium price of US$6.95/lb, Capex of US$161.5M to US$187.9M and average unit cash operating costs of US$3.07/lb to US$3.37/b.

  • License Granted – one of the few vanadium resources globally with a mining right granted, which includes environmental approval.

  • PFS – initial pit optimization work as part of the PFS has identified the potential to preferentially mine higher grades during initial operations whilst simultaneously unlocking additional medium grade ore for future processing, which has the potential to improve NPV and will form part of the focus for the PFS.

GEOLOGY | ORE BODY

Mineralisation

==> picture [306 x 100] intentionally omitted <==

  • The SPD Project is located in the Bushveld Complex, one of the most studied geological provinces in the world.

  • Vanadiferous titanomagnetite layers occur at the same stratigraphic level across the entire complex and can be traced for almost 400 km.

  • Typically, vanadium mineralisation in the Bushveld Complex is typically higher grade than global peers .

  • The global resource at SPD is one of the largest and highest grade (in-situ) Mineral Resources within the Bushveld Complex and globally at 188Mt at 1.23% V2O5 .

  • Mineralisation outcrops at surface, meaning amenable to open pit mining.

  • Mineralisation dips shallowly (~10º) – less waste to mine, low strip ratios and cheaper mining cost.

  • Scoping Study has defined initial production target of 48.5Mt which corresponds to 25-year mine life at 1.6Mtpa ROM ore at 0.75% V2O5 .

MINING | PIT OPTIMISATION

Pit Optimisation Studies & Mine Design

  • Optimum pit shell #RF2 generated an in-pit Mineral Resource of 53Mt at 0.75% V2O5 (391kt of contained V2O5).

  • The analysis included dilution of a 0.5m skin of waste added to the Resource.

  • Overall slope design assumptions based on a preliminary review of geological structure, rock mass and pit design parameters.

  • While no geotechnical work has been completed to date, a detailed geotechnical study will be completed as part o the PFS which will be incorporated into the overall slope design for the pit design.

  • A conceptual pit design was developed using pit shell #RF2, which generated 48.5Mt of ore mineralisation and 18.3Mt of waste material, resulting a strip ratio of 0.47 : 1 (waste : ore) over the life of mine.

MINING | CONCEPTUAL PIT

Conceptual Pit Design & Site Layout

  • The optimum pit shell #RF2 and conceptual design represent only a small part of the overall total Mineral Resource (as shown below).

  • This highlights the potential:

  • for the life of the operation to extend well past the 30-year life of mine; and

  • to increase the ROM ore V2O5 grade particularly during the early years of operations – this has the potential to reduce the tonnage of ore required to be mined to achieve the same V2O5 product rates (and improve NPV).

METALLURGY | CONCENTRATE

Concentrate Test Results – Beneficiation

  • Testwork undertaken by SGS and Mintek confirmed that a simple beneficiation process was well suited to the SPD ore body which showed concentrate grades of 2.2% V2O5.

  • Various phases of concentrate testwork optimised both vanadium content and reduction of silica and alumina.

  • This analysis showed consistent vanadium content throughout the mineralised intervals, with low levels of silica and alumina.

METALLURGY | V2O5 PRODUCTION

Concentrate Test Results – Salt Roast Leach

  • Testwork undertaken by Mintec demonstrated that the SRL method was well suited to the extraction of vanadium from concentrate.

  • The SLR process was able to successfully produce +98% V2O5 flake from a 2.2% V2O5 concentrate, with an average recovery of 81.5%.

  • Scoping Study testwork led by Mr Les Ford, one of the world’s foremost experts in the production of vanadium.

  • The SRL process uses proven technology and used in other vanadium operations in the Bushveld Complex and globally.

PROCESS DESIGN | V2O5 PRODUCTION

Process Design

  • The processing facility will consist of:

==> picture [306 x 100] intentionally omitted <==

  • a mineral concentrator and associated services and utilities; and

  • a separate SRL processing plant to produce +98% V2O5 flakes.

Concentrator

  • METS South Africa (Pty) Ltd (“ METS ”) designed the concentrator facility using its experience in design and construction of similar facilities in South Africa – resulting in the Capex being able to be costed at a robust level.

  • The design included three stage crushing following by dry magnetic separation to reject course waste material, then ball milling of the upgrade material with wet magnetic separation to produce a refined concentrate of 2.2% V2O5.

  • Construction period of 9 to 12 months.

SRL Plant

  • The capex estimates for the SRL plant was based on quotes of key items of equipment sourced directly from the equipment suppliers and manufacturers.

  • ENC Minerals built up costs for civils, structural steel, piping and pipework derived from a database of costs derived from similar facilities in South Africa in consultation with METS and Les Ford.

  • Costs sourced from direct quotes made up ~55% of the total construction and installation cost estimate.

  • Construction period of 24 months.

  • Rail infrastructure is located near the Project with sidings at Steelpoortdrift, Burgersfort (Apiesdoring) and Roossenekal.

Power

  • The Scoping Study has assumed the use of grid power with the state electricity supplier Eskom.

  • Alternative power solutions will be considered if the application process with Eskom is expected to be delayed.

Water

  • The De Hoop dam is located 15km from the Project and raw water pipelines run adjacent to the Project.

  • The Company has also applied for a Water Usage license from boreholes as an alternative water source.

Tailings & Waste Management

  • The beneficiation process will contain solely waste rock and no reagents or harmful materials.

  • The SRL plant has incorporated a dewatering facility to remove water from residues for re-use as process water. The residues will be stockpiled away from drainage systems.

Environmental, Community & Permitting

  • Tenure comprises a single, granted Mining Right which expires September 2048.

  • The Company will need to prepare it application for a Water Usage License to enable use of water in processing and mining as well as the creation of stockpiles on the Project – an application will be submitted once detailed site layout plans are completed.

MARKETS | STEEL & ALLOYS

==> picture [306 x 100] intentionally omitted <==

  • Over 90% of the current demand for vanadium arises from its use to strengthen steel and alloys.

  • Demand increasing due to more stringent regulations in China for rebar and other steel products used in construction. While implementation has been slower than expected, inspections are set to continue during 2019.

  • China recently has perfected the manufacture of high-performance alloys resulting in strong growth in the sector.

  • Supply of new lightweight alloys increasing in the aerospace industry. All new Boeing Dreamliner 787 and Airbus A350 now incorporate vanadium in light weight alloys up to 100 tons per aircraft.

  • Forecasters expect over 1,200GW of battery capacity to be added between today and 2050, with approx. 600GW before 2025.[1]

  • VRFBs forecast to represent between 15 and 25 % of battery capacity.

  • Could add up to 10,000mtV of demand into an already undersupplied market.[2]

Vanadium Production by Raw Material

==> picture [270 x 151] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [306 x 100] intentionally omitted <==

  • Over 85% of the world’s vanadium is produced from China, Russia and South Africa.

  • Chinese domestic production is largely from polluting sources (stone coal) or low-grade resources.

  • Stringent implementation of Chinese environmental standards place serious doubts on the future of many Chinese stone coal resources.

  • South Africa has become a major recipient of mining investment by major Chinese mineral and metal suppliers. A combination of higher grade and lower opex bodes well for quality undeveloped resources.
