4 Key Points Simple Mining & Beneficiation Bulk sample confirms free dig mining without ripping, and either a DSO or Scrub and Screen flowsheet to produce high grade Rock Phosphate. Low Capex Low Opex High Margin Pilot scale test work has identified significant equipment reductions on the 2012 Desktop Study flowsheet which will significantly reduce capex. New Infrastructure The Porto de Caio deep water port development 60km from the deposit by sealed road was not part of the 2012 Desktop Study.

5 Angola A Resource Economy Angola is the Africa s third largest producer of both oil and diamonds and became the largest supplier of oil to China in July 2016 overtaking Russia and Saudi Arabia. The 5.2Mtpa Angola LNG plant recommenced production in June 2016 after commissioning difficulties. Fastest growing economy in Africa. Infrastructure investment. Favorable foreign investment policy. Oil price collapse driving economic diversification.

ASX Release 6 June 2012 Cacata Project Scoping Study Produces Positive Results. The scoping study test work was completed on material from 8 drill holes representative of the deposit. The recovery numbers were derived from a scrubbing and screening at +212um to 2.36mm. 2. The Dry beneficiation test work is being completed on 8 tonnes of sample from two distinct zones in the high grade core of mineralisation. The recovery numbers are derived from sizing the material to 6-19mm, drying to 1-3% moisture followed by air classification to remove the -106um 3. The Wet beneficiation test work is being completed on 10 tonnes of sample from two different locations classified as medium grade. The results are derived from scrubbing and screening the material at +106um and -12.5mm. The analysis of the reject fractions was not completed at the time of writing to estimate mass and P2O5 recoveries.

13 WET DRY M&I Grade Tonnage Options Preliminary Test work suggests: Wet beneficiation will be suited to 9-11Mt of the M&I resources at a cut-off or 22-24% P2O5 Dry beneficiation will be suited to 5-7Mt of the M&I resources grading around 26-28% P2O5 Mine engineering studies will optimise the value and utilisation of the entire 15Mt M&I resource incorporating the second stage with flotation.

14 Reduced Capex Expectations CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AREA $USM MAJOR ITEMS 2012 STUDY DRY WET MINING 9.5 Owner Operator BENEFICIATION PLANT 54.8 Attrition Scrubber Preliminary Test work indicates significant flowsheet reductions for either the Wet or Dry beneficiation alternatives compared to the 2012 Desktop Study Dry Beneficiation alternative would not require process water or a tailings dam for several years until the flotation circuit is added in stage 2. Ausenco has identified rotating containers as the preferred transport and ship loading system. These can be leased and serve as storage offering significant capital savings.

15 Opex Savings Bulk sampling confirmed free digging material will not require ripping. No cyclones and thickener for the tailings undersize. No filter press for product dewatering Transport distance to Porto de Caio is 38km less than 2012 option Dry Beneficiation will not require process water supply and tailings disposal The decision between dry and wet beneficiation will be a tradeoff between additional capex for wet processing and shorter stage 1 mine life for dry processing before stage 2 flotation is required.
