Rare Earths – A Primer

Rare earths is a term commonly used to describe the 15 chemically

similar lanthanide elements which appear together at the bottom of the

periodic table, together with Yttrium and Scandium.

Rare earths are widely recognized as being among the most valuable

and strategically important minerals in the world. Among their key

properties, rare earths have high thermal and electrical conductivity,

magnetism, luminosity, catalytic and optical properties. Current rare earth

applications include hybrid electric vehicles, cell phones, mp3 players,

personal digital assistant devices, wind turbines, fiber optics, computer and

television screens and compact fluorescent lighting. Rare earths are critical

to maintaining a modern, functioning green economy.

Demand growth for rare earths averaged 5% per annum between

2005-2011 and is expected to grow at 7-9% overall through 2016, and

potentially, grow at a higher rate beyond.

The supply of rare earths has been dramatically impacted by new trade

restrictions and policies introduced by China, which in 2011 is estimated

to have accounted for approximately 94% of global rare earths supply.

Zandkopsdrift – Africa’s Largest Rare Earth Deposit

Located on surface in Namaqualand, South Africa’s oldest mining province.

Low cost environment with good access to modern infrastructure.

Circa 950,000 tons of total rare earth oxides identified (NI 43-101 compliant).

Geology very well understood with 80% of the resource in the Indicated Resource category and PFS expected to advance the existing resources into the Proven and Probable mineral Reserves.

97% of rare earths in monazite with elevated levels of the highest value heavy and light rare earths present: Praseodymium, Neodymium, Europium, Terbium, and Dysprosium.

Very low level of radioactivity (thorium and uranium) reducing permit and process complexity.

PEA completed and Prefeasibility Study in progress.

Frontier well-positioned to be an early, significant low cost producer of separated rare earths from lanthanum to dysprosium, plus yttrium at purities between 99% and 99.999%.

Production start-up end 2015 at a total target rate of 20,000 tonnes of separated rare earth oxides.

Investment Highlights

Zandkopsdrift is one of the largest, highest grade rare earth deposits in the world. Well located, on surface, close to mining and industrial infrastructure. Demand for rare earths is being driven by their increased use in electronics, automotive, clean-tech and other sectors. Significant demand growth forecast. Frontier’s partnership with Kores positions it as the only major advanced rare earth developer to have concluded a strategic partnership agreement. Frontier’s board and management team have extensive expertise in exploration and project and mine development in Southern Africa. Frontier has no debt and a strong working capital position and is well-positioned to become one of the significant new producers of separated rare earths globally.
