JORC Statement
The information in this presentation relating to Mineral Resources is extracted from the company’s ASX announcement titled ‘S ignificant
Increase to Mineral Resource Estimate’ dated 10 May 2024 which is available to view on www.asx.com.au. The company confirms that it is not
aware of any new informatio n or data that materially affects the information included in the o riginal market announcement and that all
material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to appl y and have
not materially changed. The co mpany confirms that the fo rm and co ntext in which the Competent Perso n’s findings are presented have not
been materially modified from the original market anno uncem ent.
Production targets and forecast financial information
The information in this presentation that relates to production targets and forecast financial information derived from a production target is
extracted fro m the company’s ASX announcement dated 9 No vember 2023 (“Revised release of Scoping Study results”) available to view at
www.asx.co m.au (Sco ping Study Announcement). The company confirms that all material assumptions underpinning the production targets
and forecast financial information derived from production targets set out in the Scoping Study Announcement continue to appl y and have no t
materially changed.
Scoping Study cautionary statement
The Scoping Study referred to in this presentatio n is based on the Scoping Study released by the company to ASX in the Scoping Study
Announcement.
The company advised that the Scoping Study has been undertaken to consider the development o f the Lindfield Vanadium Project. It is a
preliminary technical and economic study of the potential viability of the Lindfield Vanadium project. It is based on lo w-level technical and
economic assessments that are not sufficient to support the estimation of ore reserves. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are
required befo re the co mpany will be in a po sition to estimate any ore reserves or to pro vide an assurance of an economic development case.
There is a low level of geological confidence associated with any Inferred Mineral Resources, and there is no certainty that further exploration
work will result in the determinatio n of Measured or further Indicated Mineral Reso urces o r that the Production Schedule or p reliminary eco nomic
assessm ent will be realised.
The Scoping Study is based on the material assumptions o utlined in the Scoping Study Announcement. These include assumptions about the
availability of funding. While the co mpany considers all of the material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty
that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Scoping Study will be achieved.
To achieve the range of outcomes indicated in the Scoping Study, additional funding will be required. The com pany has a suppo rtive
shareholder base and has successfully raised capital to progress the project in the past. However, investors should note that there is no
certainty that the company will be able to raise the amount of funding required to develop the project when needed. It is also possible that such
funding m ay o nly be available on terms that may be dilutive or otherwise affect the value of the co mpany’s existing shares. It is also possible
that the company co uld pursue other ‘value realisation’ strategies such as a sale, partial sale or joint venture of the Lindf ield Vanadium project. If
it does, this could materially reduce the company’s proportionate o wnership of the pro ject.
The Scoping Study results contained in this presentation relate solely to the Lindfield Vanadium project and do not include Exploration T argets or
Mineral Reso urces defined elsewhere. The company has concluded it has a reasonable basis fo r providing the fo rward-looking statements
included in this presentation.
Given the uncertainties invo lved, investors should not make any investment decisions based solely on the results of the Scopi ng Study.

Lindfield Vanadium Project*
10,000 Tonne V2O5
The Project has the technical and financial
attributes to potentially develop a
successful 4 million tonne per annum run
of mine (ROM) vanadium mine producing
10,000 tonne of V2O5 as well as 400 tonne of
molybdenum trioxide.
$400M capital cost
$510M NPV
Estimated direct capital costs
(excluding indirect costs, EPCM, owners’
costs and contingency).
Assuming AUD$31/kg 98.5% V₂O₅,
USD$57.5/kg 99% MoO3 , FX of $0.68 and
Royalty Rate 2.5%.
17 %IRR
Equivalent to 1.3GWh of energy.
Potential after-tax IRR of approximately
17%, from the vanadium pentoxide and
molybdenum trioxide product streams.
Low OpEx cost
Long mine life
Strong revenue
Continuous production of V2O5 at approx.
C1 AUD$14-16/kg.
With the opportunity to expand life of mine
(LOM) with potential upside in resource
subject to further evaluation.
Revenue from external V2O5 sales or
internal use to manufacture electrolyte.
Molybdenum production cost lower due to
its treatment as a by-product from the
vanadium stream.
Approx Revenue $310-350M pa.
Strong margin
Market price AUD$31/kg
C1 Production cost AUD$14-16
Margin AUD$15-17/kg.
