〉 World’s hardest metal with the highest melting point
〉 Tungsten is used in essential applications such as steel tools, cutting blades, military applications, alloys, lighting and electronics
〉 Strong demand growth - global tungsten demand is growing at an annual rate of approximately 3.7%
〉 Price trend - Prices have decreased from around US$450 per mtu in 2011 to unsustainable levels at less than $150 per mtu in 2015. (1 mtu = 10kg)
〉 APT is currently trading around US$310 – US$335 per mtu, or US$31-33,000 per tonnes
〉 APT price is recovering this year and anticipated to return to higher prices over the next couple of years as a results of supply tightening and increasing in demand

Notes: 1. Premier is the operator of the Zulu Lithium and Tantalum Project
(“Zulu”). 2. Premier currently holds 100 per cent. interest in Zulu. 3. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves have no
demonstrated economic viability. 4. The effective date of the Mineral Resource is 01 June 2017. 5. Mineral Resources for Zulu have been calculated using a cut-off of 0.5%
Li₂0 and classified according to SAMREC. 6. The Mineral Resource Estimate is based on information compiled by the
Company and reviewed by Mr Wolfgang Hampel (as described further below).

〉 Metallurgical testwork was conducted by German based Dorfner Anzaplan
〉 Flotation testwork on spodumene pegmatite achieved a lithium recovery of 81.8%
〉 Flotation testwork on mixed pegmatite sample achieved a spodumene concentrate containing 5.9% Li₂0 being acceptable for spodumene concentrates as feed stock for lithium carbonate production and a commercial grade petalite concentrate containing 3.9% Li₂0 at exceptionally low Fe₂0₃ content of < 0.01% at a recovery in the concentrates of an estimated 70%
〉 The tailings of spodumene and petalite flotation process contain very low iron oxide concentrations in the range of 0.01%, offering the potential for high quality, low iron feldspar and quartz as by-product for glass and ceramics applications
〉 Further metallurgical testwork is planned including testwork on the recoveries of lithium bearing minerals, the recovery of a saleable tantalite concentrates and high purity, low iron oxide quartz and feldspar concentrates as well as optimise the flowsheet design
