Meeting The Technical Challenges To Develop New Resources
3
NEXT FRONTIER MARINE RESOURCES Increased Global Demand for
mineral resources >80% of Global mineral resources beneath the
Oceans Rise in Metal prices combined with development in deep water
technology now make Marine mining feasible Land Resources becoming
scarcer 4
NEXT FRONTIER MARINE RESOURCES Transition to Marine Resource
Exploration and Mining happening at depth up to 5 000 metres NOW.
Marine Mineral Resources reserved by major countries such as China,
Russia, Germany, France etc. Witnessing the birth of a NEW
industry. 5
NEXT FRONTIER SMS AND SEDEX DEPOSITS Marine Seafloor Massive
Sulphides and Sedimentary Exhalative Suphide Deposits formed at
Ocean Ridge Spreading Ridges at depths between 1 500 3 000 metres
6
Jiddah Atlantis II POLYMETALLIC (Zn, Cu, Ag, Au, Co) SEDEX Red
Sea Commission Mining Licence 30 Years 7
Atlantis II Deeps Mining Depths: 1900 2200 metres Brine Pool:
200 metres thick 62C 45C LIMIT OF BRINES 2km 8
NEXT FRONTIER HISTORY Atlantis II Deposit Explored since 1969
1974 Red Sea Commission Formed to jointly Explore Atlantis II 1977
1982 Preussag AG German MV VALDIVIA Exploration Company contracted
to undertake Feasibility Study of Atlantis II Deeps Resource,
Processing, Metallurgical, Pre-Pilot Mining and Environmental
Studies Successfully Completed (US$28 Million) FLOATATION PLANT
Largest known marine SEDEX MV SEDCO 445 ABOARD SEDCO 45 Deposit in
the World 9
Preussag A.G. Coring Programs North Basin West Basin Total 628

Zn 425 000 tonnes Cu 3 750 tonnes Ag East Basin 47 tonnes Au Zinc 5
368 tonnes Co Minimum Resource West Basin 0.2% Southwest Basin
11
TECHNICAL CHALLENGES The Atlantis II Project Is A Technical
Challenge Deposit is located in 2000 meters of water 70km from
nearest shore New processing and mining technology required No
existing infrastructure Elevated Brine Pool temperatures 45C 62C
Fine Particle Size Distribution (PSD) of Ore 80% < 2 microns A
Commercial risk Worlds Deepest mining operation and First deep sea
mud deposit to be mined But: Largest known and only tested Marine
SEDEX in the World. It has the potential to focus expertise and
innovation on a new frontier -- deep sea mineral resources 12
MINING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Mine muds in hostile environment
Transport material 2000 metres to surface Geodynamic Positioning
CONVENTIONAL DRILL SHIP Integrated Design Capital Intensive
Operating Costs 13

14
Offshore Processing Challenges Ore is fine grained sulphide
muds Pre-Pilot Mining Operations undertaken by Preussag (1980s)
successively concentrated offshore using floatation to 30% Zn @ 70%
Recoveries New processing techniques using sea water are being
developed to achieve recoveries up to 85% Filtration using Rotary
Vacuum Filters or Disc Nozzle Filters Slurry Transport 15
SYSTEM FLOW DESIGN Offshore Processing Support Vessel
Offloading and Stockpiling Concentrate Transport Integrated Mining
Tool Hydrometallurgy Product 16
Early studies by the Red Sea Commission show that neither
sensitive coral reefs or fauna within surface layers affected The
Atlantis II Project can be developed with minimal environmental
impact The environment at Atlantis II is naturally variable
Possibility of Pumping Tailings under brine layer by return riser
17
FISCAL FINANCIAL VIABILITY Project Currently in Engineering
Feasibility Stage Project Costings Dependent on final Design
Selection Initial Financial Viability Assessment undertaken using
updated Preussag A.G. Feasibility Study (1981) Variable IRR returns
calculated ranging from 16.1% - 22% Production Model Dependent
Expected IRRs to range from 25%-35% from new Feasibility study
using improved technologies, improved resource base and recoveries
18
Minimal Infrastructure Limited Social Disturbance Minimal
Overburden or Stripping Minimal Waste Increased Worker Safety
Remote Controlled at the Mine Face 19
BUSINESS STRATEGY 26 Other Deeps Known in Red Sea Vast Areas of
Ridge Complex Unexplored Major Potential for Massive SEDEX , SMS
Deposits Technology developed from Atlantis II Project will be
applied to developing these further prospects Operational Cost
Advantages working from Saudi Arabia Diamond Fields set to Be at
forefront in Deep Water Marine Resources the Next Frontier 20
