Corporate Overview

History

95% of zinc comes from sulphide ore deposits

ZincOx set up (1998) to develop non-sulphide zinc mines

Each one different – bespoke solution

Exceptional technical team, >128 years of zinc experience

Technology driven but not technology provider

Development and application of “Game Changing Technology”

Modify existing technology, not “black box”

Objective: To become the largest and most sustainable zinc recycler

Status

HQ in Surrey (7 - strategy, finance, etc)

Technical support in Belgium (12 - technical and development)

Regional offices: USA (5), Thailand (2), Korea (5578)

AiM quoted

89.4 mil. shares @ 63p, market capitalisation £60 mil.

Feed - Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD)

1/3 of world’s steel produced by recycling scrap in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF)

Scrap contains steel that is increasingly galvanised (zinc coated)

During iron melting zinc is driven off into the EAFD as an oxide

EAFD contains: zinc: 18-24% (average mine: 5-6% zinc)

iron: 26-30%

cadmium, lead: <2% (harmful elements = Hazardous Waste)

Currently landfill or subsidised recycling

ZincOx has “game changing” process that needs no subsidy

Page 6: ZincOx Resources plc Corporate Overvie · ZincOx Resources plc ... Corporate Overview May 2012. ... to those with respect to the financial position and strategy of the Company,

Technology- Rotary Hearth Furnace (RHF)

2/3 of steel produced from iron ore in Blast / BO Furnaces (BBOF)

BBOF generate waste dust: iron (50%) low in zinc (<3%) BF can not

recycle: fine or zinc bearing material

Rotary Hearth Furnace (RHF) removes zinc + metallises iron

10 plants built over the past 10 yrs for treatment of BBOF

EAFD

EAFD, low iron (<30%), high zinc (>20%), Salts (7%) – most value in zinc

RHF + EAFD

Technology modified to improve: zinc recovery, product quality, energy use

Extensive R&D including test work, piloting and computer simulation

Compared to existing EAFD recycling technology: Iron recovery

Greater zinc revenue

Lower energy

Not subsidy dependent

(an environmental improvement that costs less)
