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

Track record in development 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

113 million shares (fully diluted)

FEED - Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD)

Steel produced by: 1. Reduction of iron ore in Blast Furnaces (e.g.Posco) 2. Recycling scrap in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF)

Electric Arc Furnaces generate waste Dust (EAFD)

Scrap contains steel that is increasingly galvanised (zinc coated) During iron melting zinc is driven off into the EAFD as an oxide

Dust contains: zinc: 18-24% (average mine: 5-6% zinc) iron: 26-30%

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

Korea, strictly controlled landfill (disposal fee)

TECHNOLOGY – Rotary Hearth Furnace (RHF)

Based on established (“iron making”) technology

modified to optimise for zinc recovery and energy efficiency

Unlike existing processes

- It produces no waste

- Has more product revenue

Double Breakthrough

Environmentally superior

Economically superior (no subsidy required)

Global Opportunity

1/3 of steel produced by recycling scrap

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

>6,000,000 tonnes of EAFD produced annually from about 1,000 sites

=1.3 MMt Zn pa (zinc production 12 MMt pa)

Contains Cd, Pb Hazardous

Landfill or

Recycling. Current technology: less profitable

generates waste (no iron product)

needs subsidy (>US$80/t?)

Developed countries, landfill expensive mostly recycled

Developing countries, landfill cheap landfilled

50% of EAFD landfill (2008)

ZincOx’s “game changing” technology works without subsidy.
