Fluorspar, Key Dynamics• China accounts for over half of the world fluorspar production.• Chinese exports have continued to decline since 2000 as internal demand
has increased.• Potential for China to become a net importer in the future.• Long term trend has been upwards since 2000 with long-term future
outlook looking positive.• Western Europe, Canada and the USA are the largest acid-spar
consuming regions outside of China, importing more than 900,000 tonnes per year.
• Fluorspar is classified as a critical raw material by the European Commission.
• USA considers fluorspar as a strategic mineral - 100% net import reliance.• Project has potential to replace China as world leading producer of
fluorspar

Project history – Why not developed sooner?
• Private and complex mineral rights holding until 2004• Historically rights were subdivided together with surface• Some mineral rights were sold to mining companies and sterilized• Result was complex ownership with many subdivisions• 2004 mineral rights revert to State• 2005 SA Fluorite consolidate and secure mineral rights

Typical cross section
•This section illustrates the ability to access the high gradeRhenosterfontein Extension area via an adit from the Tafelkop area
Initial mining will focus on near-to-surface deposits suitable to open cast
mining
Over time, mining can transition to underground with access via an adit
from the initial pits.

Economic analysis
• Resource sufficient for +100 life-of-mine (LOM)• Economic analysis calculated on 30 year mine life• Focus on thick opencast orebodies• Short payback Period• Positive NPV & IRR• Low-cost opencast operation – lower cost quartile• Size and quality make it favourable for downstream
processing and development of secondary industries

The Way Forward
• Application for mining right underway• Trial mining and development will commence on granting of
mining right• Actively seeking development partners• Marketing studies and offtake agreements• Economic fundamentals and deposit size support
downstream processing– The global market for chemicals from fluorine is about US$16 billion per year
