Project Overview

Unique mineral deposit

Extremely unique deposit contains >< 43% heavy mineral content Only emerging producer of foundry grade Chromite in the United States.

Growth platform

Long term project Current resource of 10 years expected to be increased to a mine life platform Current resource of 10 years expected to be increased to a mine life

exceeding 20 years on a plant throughput rate of one million tpa.

Foundries that produce high value castings, require quality chromite &

High product demand

zircon sand. Ensures high quality finish and reduces the after cast costs of grinding and

sanding (often result from using poor quality foundry sands). St bl i i f i h k t h it d h b t i d th h

Stable pricing of niche market chromite grades has been retained through

the recent economic cycle as the majority of South African chromite supply is driven by demand for ferrochrome.

Security of tenure

Secured mineral lease agreements with land owners. All requisite permitting been applied and approved. Leading environmental and legal consultants involved in project permitting,

environmental and third party review.7
