The electrification of motive power is the biggest energy

transformation in historyIt’s on every government’s policy

agenda and it’s driven by millennials.But it’s not just EVs.

It‘s also wind turbines, all forms of transport, domestic appliances, military equipment and a growing

universe of clean energy applications.

Which metal is going to be the biggest beneficiary?An EV is essentially two or four axial electric motors powered by a large Li-ion battery. Most of these electric motors need powerful rare earth magnets.

CLUE: It’s not one of the battery metals

But we have a problem

Chinese companies control 96% of the world’s magnet metal production.

Their view is that there are the 60-70 rare earth projects around the world and that for one reason or another few are likely to succeed.

So we asked them what they wanted

They explained that rare earth processing is very complex and highly capital intensive …they were not interested in supporting a new project that was going to become a competitor.

However they are under pressure from international EV customers to diversify their supply chain away from China andso they wanted to know can we supply them with an NdPr concentrate?

Yes we can...

Longonjo is located adjacent to the Chinese-built US$1.8 billion Benguela rail line.This rail line links the project with the Atlantic deep-water port of Lobito and onto customers in China.

WOOD’s 2017 Scoping studyhighlighted the benefits of the excellent infrastructure road, rail and hydro.

We have asked WOOD to undertake a study on a 1.5 mtpa flotation operation producing 95,000 tonnes of NdPrconcentrate for export to China.Based on the forthcoming upgraded Mineral Resource estimate and the encouraging early metallurgical testwork.

Strong news flow ahead

The new Mineral Resource estimate by SRK is expected to be a very significant upgrade on the maiden Mineral Resource estimate of 11.6 million tonnes at 4.30% REO including 0.86% NdPr.

Updates on process route, pre feasibility study by WOOD and preliminary offtake discussions with Chinese customers.

Site visit by Chinese delegation, analysts and European IR consultants next month.

Investment Summary

Experienced board and management team with strong track record in delivering significant shareholder returns on mining investments at this stage of development.

The high margin NdPrconcentrate export strategy avoids the excessive capital cost of downstream processing.

The high NdPr grade, low mining costs, good metallurgy and close proximity to major rail highlights the potential to generate very strong cash flow margins.

Scoping study by WOOD highlights the benefits of the Chinese funded infrastructure and the potential to develop a low capital cost 1.5 mtpaflotation operation producing 95,000 tpaof NdPr concentrate.

Upgraded Mineral Resource estimate is expected to confirm a large high-grade blanket of mineralisation with the potential for very low strip-ratio open pit mining operation.
