“Urban Resource”

• 1/3 of steel from recycling (melting) scrap in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF)

• Steel and scrap is increasingly galvanised (zinc coating to inhibit corrosion– rusting)

• Scrap contains zinc (galvanising), lead (batteries, solder), cadmuim (batteries)

• When scrap is melted in EAFs zinc, lead, cadmium are driven off in the furnace off-gasses as

oxides together with iron oxide (rust) particles

• Oxides are filtered out of the off-gasses before they are released into the environment, these

filtrates are known as Electric Arc Furnace Dust, EAFD

• Over 6 million tonnes of EAFD generated per annum

• Zinc grade typically 22-32% (Fe = 25%)

• EAFD = major growing zinc resource (equivalent to about 10% of global zinc requirement)

• Contains lead and cadmium Hazardous

Mills have paid to dispose of it (typically $40-200/t) Waste

EAFD - ZincOx Approach

• ZincOx Strategy uses a treatment process that can recover contained metals

without a subsidy and with minimum waste

• Exceptionally strong technical team and network of engineers (ex Umicore)

• 14 years of R&D “Full Cycle” process

• Full Cycle has two parts:

1. New critical breakthrough Rotary Hearth Furnace process, splits EAFD

into exceptional zinc concentrate and iron concentrate

2. Conventional processes upgrade concentrates into final products

NO WASTE and ADDED VALUE MAXIMISED

Environmental and Economic Breakthrough

• Ramp-up to full production much slower than expected due to failure of peripheral equipment

• Problems resolved

• Underlying operation at about 90% of target performance and rising

• Positive EBITDA

• Process enhancements planned

KRP – Underlying performance

• Plant performance depends on two key parameters:

– Physical performance – Throughput, how much feed is being treated

– Process performance – Recovery, how much zinc is recovered from the feed

• Zinc production depends on plant performance and in addition

– Zinc grade of feed, how much zinc is entering the process (this is outside ZincOx’s control)

• These parameters are presented graphically on a weekly basis in the following slides from

January 2013, excluding the weeks affected by major stoppages.

Zinc Oxide Industrial Chemical

• Minimum specification >97% ZnO

• ZincOx product >99.7% ZnO

• Market is about 1,200,000 tpa

• Targeting Ceramics and Rubber (70% of market)

• The premium to the value of the zinc contained

depends on the nature of impurities

• Suitability for Ceramic and Rubber applications

has been independently verified

ProA Mine 2015 22

Tyres and rubber 47%

Ceramics 23%

Chemical 15%

Agriculture 6%

Paints 5%

Other 4%

• Rubber quality mostly produced from new zinc metal

Cost of metal + physical premium + transport + boiling (>900OC) + filtration + bagging

Sold at price in excess of value of the metal contained (about twice that of zinc concentrate)

Potential to double revenue at only about 30% additional operation cost
