About Vysarn Limited (ASX:VYS)

Vysarn Limited (‘Vysarn’ or ‘the Company’) commenced operations in September 2019, quickly establishing itself as a leading provider of production critical, hydrogeological drilling and dewatering services.

The Company has experienced significant interest for its offering, primarily driven by tier-1 iron ore and gold producers that are facing mounting dewatering issues as a greater proportion of their resources lie below the water table.

Driven by industry demand, Vysarn has a clear growth strategy that will transform the Company into a specialised ‘end-to-end’ water service provider.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

9

==> picture [148 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

Pilbara Production is Heading Under Water

  • Dewatering has become an operational imperative with water table issues becoming one of the largest impediments to ongoing production

  • 65% of the economic resources in the Pilbara are under the water table, requiring significant dewatering to mine

  • Pumping must be continuously maintained to keep the groundwater levels suppressed and the mine pit dry

Significant Growth in WA Water Abstraction

  • The Pilbara region abstracts over 450 GL of water p.a. which is expected to increase to over ~575 GL by 2024.

  • Western Australia resource sector (WA) abstracts over 650 GL of water p.a. which is expected to increase to ~775 GL by 2024

  • The growing dewatering requirements of WA present an opportunity for Vysarn to develop a significant end to end water service business
