LICENCE AREA

4

MORIUSAQ BAY

The deposit covers two types of terrain:

Raised and Active Beaches: Raised Beach refers to the dunes up to the base of the escarpment. Active beach refers to the area seaward of the frontal dunes, including the beach, tidal zones and surf zone

Drowned Beaches: refers to the areas seaward of active beaches.

INFERRED RESOURCE OF 23.6MT AT 8.8% ILMENITE (IN SITU) FOR THE TESTED AREA – 17% OF TOTAL DEPOSIT

CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING AN OPERATION OF 30 YRS PLUS MINE LIFE WITH EXTENSIVE EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

Only covers ~17% of the licence area – Iterlak and additional 25km of raised beach are yet

to be tested

Includes a high-grade zone of 7.9Mt at 14.2% ilmenite (in situ) at Moriusaq which is the

focus of the feasibility and production studies currently underway

A larger exploration target of between 90Mt to 130Mt at an in-situ grade of between 6.3%

and 8.4% ilmenite has been identified

PROCESS FLOWSHEET – STAGE 1

11

Raised and active beach sands are fed to a run of mine bin. Coarse rocks are screened by a grizzly to prevent blocking the bin. The sands and smaller rocks are fed to a wet scrubber which breaks up the lumps and attritions the ore. The scrubber discharges to a rotating trommel screen which rejects material greater than 2 mm.

PROCESS FLOWSHEET – STAGE 2

12

Screened slurry from Stage 1 is fed to a gravity circuit which uses spirals to separate the heavy (ilmenite rich) sands from the light (silica) sands. The heavy sands are fed to an upward current classifier which washes out residual light sands.

PROCESS FLOWSHEET – STAGE 3

13

The heavy sands are fed to a wash filter to remove salt water and then are dried and cooled. The dry heavy sands are fed to rotating drum magnets which firstly remove magnetite, and then recover ilmenite. Non magnetic sands are rejected.

TRANSHIPPING

20

Met-ocean study confirms shipping window available between July and October.

At an annual production of 300,000t of ilmenite need:

1. Six 50,000t carriers, each arriving every 2-3 weeks; or

2. Ten 30,000t carriers, each arriving every 1-2 weeks.

TRANSHIPPING

21

Due to shallow harbour a transhipping vessel fitted with a crane and motorised barges will be built to load the carriers. Transhipping vessel may be a single panama fitted with two cranes or two smaller vessels fitted with a single crane.
