Forward Looking StatementsCautionary Note Regarding Canadian Mineral Disclosure Standards

Certain information contained in this document may include “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements may include statements regarding Orbite Aluminae Inc. (“Orbite” or the “Company”) intentions,

beliefs or current expectations about its projects, costs, objectives and future returns of the Company, or hypotheses underlying these items. In this document, words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “likely”,

“believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate” and similar words and the negative form thereof are used to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as

guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether, or the times at or by which, such future performance will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on

information available at the time and/or management’s good-faith beliefs with respect to future events, and are subject to known or unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other unpredictable factors, many of

which are beyond the Company’s control. These risks uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those described in the section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) entitled “Risk and

Uncertainties” as filed on March 22, 2012 on SEDAR ,and in the section ‘’Risk Factors’’ of the Annual Information Form of March 30th, 2012 also filed on SEDAR, and could cause actual events or results to differ

materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. The Company does not intend, nor does it undertake any obligation to update, or revise any forward-looking statements or other information

contained in this document to reflect subsequent information, events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws. The Revised Preliminary Economic Assessment (the “PEA”) on the Company’s

Metallurgical Grade Alumina project (the “SGA Project” or “SGA Plant”) with an effective date of November 24, 2011 and a revised report date of May 30, 2012, is preliminary in nature and it includes Indicated Mineral

Resources of aluminous clay that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that

the conclusions reached in the PEA will be realized. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves have not demonstrated economic viability.

The Company is required to provide technical information with respect to mineralization on its Grand-Vallée property in accordance with Canadian standards which differ significantly from the requirements of the United

States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and resource information contained in this document, the PEA and other public disclosure documents filed by the Company on SEDAR may not be comparable to

similar information disclosed by U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. This document and the PEA include references to mineral resource estimates that have been

calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. In particular, this document and the PEA

use the terms “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources.” Readers are cautioned that the term "resource" does not equate to the term "reserves". Further, the definitions of proven and probable

reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definition of “reserves” under U.S. standards. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the

mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Among other things, all necessary permits would be required to be in hand or issuance imminent in

order to classify mineralized material as reserves under the SEC standards. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or

any part of indicated or inferred mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. The SEC's disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning "indicated mineral resources" or

"inferred mineral resources" or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute “reserves” by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. Readers should also understand

that “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “inferred mineral

resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimated “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases.

Marc Filion, Eng., a Qualified Person, reviewed the technical information disclosed herein. Dr. Filion is a Consultant of Orbite, and as such, is not independent pursuant to NI 43-101.

Orbite Snapshot


Orbite is a resource developer and a mineral processing technology company.

Orbite has developed innovative proprietary processes for producing alumina and other high-value elements including rare earths and rare metals that differ from the rest of the industry.

Orbite’s short-term priority is our high-purity alumina (HPA) plant:

HPA samples are being shipped to clients.

Operating at Phase I capacity of less than 1 tpd, increasing to 5 tpd by Q1 2014.

Orbite’s medium-term projects include:

Building our first smelter-grade alumina (SGA) plant using clay from our 1 billion tonne deposit at Grande-Vallée. A Feasibility Study is anticipated in Q1 2014 subject to concluding negotiations with a JV partner and securing sufficient funding.

Building the world’s first red mud remediation (RMR) plant with Veolia Environmental Services as part of our exclusive worldwide agreement. Site selection is in progress. Veolia intends to build RMR plants worldwide under a technology license.


Thinking Outside The Bauxite

Orbite Aluminae Inc.

Orbite’s innovative and proprietary hydrochloric acid process can produce alumina and high-value by-products, including rare earths and rare metals, at one of the lowest costs in the industry using aluminous clay, bauxite, kaolin, nepheline, red mud and fly-ash.

No wastes or tailings are produced since all constituent elements can be recovered and the acid is recovered and regenerated.

Defies conventional mining approach which attempts to recover only a few valuable elements.

Enabled by selective precipitation of the elements and recent advances in chemical process technology.


Aluminous Clay, Red Mud and Other Feedstocks

Alumina, iron, silica, titanium and magnesium are the most abundant rock-forming elements: Most common elements in our feedstocks and man-made wastes such as red mud and fly ash. Feedstock composition will determine the plant design and economics. Any rare earths & rare metals can be recovered as individually separated oxides.

Red mud will be pre-treated to become a suitable feedstock.

Plant design and optimal capacity will be influenced by the red mud composition.

Inert residue of less than 10% the original red mud volume will be returned to the stockpile.

Orbite signed exclusive worldwide agreement with Veolia Environmental Services for red mud remediation:

Veolia is the only global integrated operator of waste management services across all segments (solid, liquid, non-hazardous and hazardous waste).

Veolia intends to build Red Mud Remediation (RMR) plants worldwide under license.

Veolia is working to identify the site and optimal capacity for the world’s first RMR plant.

Construction is anticipated to begin in 2014, Orbite could be a JV partner.
