Highly promising drilling results Maiden Drilling Programme at Goulamina; 50 holes for >5,000m of drilling Results from drilling confirm wide and high-grade lithium mineralisation at shallow depths: 56m @ 1.91 % Li 2 O from 14m 57m @ 1.72 % Li 2 O from 57m 41m @ 1.93 % Li 2 O from 4m 52m @ 1.70 % Li 2 O from 66m 40m @ 1.84 % Li 2 O from 10m 50m @ 1.62 % Li 2 O from 11m Includes substantial high-grade (+ 2%) intervals e.g. 18m @ 2.10 % Li 2 O 8

Highly promising drilling results Two parallel pegmatite zones Significant high-grade and bulk tonnage potential Open along strike and at depth Wide zones & moderate dip Appears highly amenable to large-scale, open pit mining JORC-Resource in October 2016 9

Ongoing drilling program Diamond drilling in progress ~Deeper drilling extends mineralisation to beyond 150m down dip Predictable, broad and highly continuous lithium mineralisation routinely intersected in RC and diamond drilling Simple mineralogy and very low mica content, suggests industry-standard processing would be readily achievable Visual interpretation of drilling to date supports Exploration Target Further Assays pending 10

Encouraging metallurgical test work Preliminary test work conducted by highly regarded CSA Global Part of a World Bank Development Project Large (3 tonne) representative bulk sample: grade of 2.2% Li 2 O iron oxide 0.5-0.8% Fe 2 O 3 This test work demonstrated: High-grade concentrate: the spodumene (lithium) concentrate that was produced from screening and heavy media separation had a grade of 6.7% High quality chemical grade lithium concentrate Excellent recoveries of spodumene (lithium) of 84.7% High mass yield of 31.5% due to high grade nature of deposit 11

Massigui Gold Project Overview Located in southern Mali Large land holding of 754 km 2 Over 35,000m of drilling completed Three deposits identified (Ntiola, Viper and Koting) All deposits located <25km from Morila Gold Mine and processing plant Excellent potential for further discovery of high grade, large tonnage, free milling gold mineralisation Progressing processing solution for existing deposits 16

Logical Destination for Massigui Ore The Massigui Project is located ~25km from the Morila Gold Mine Historic Production of 6Moz Au since Oct 2000 Morila is owned by: Randgold Resources 40% (Operator) AngloGold Ashanti 40% Government of Mali 20% 4Mtpa processing plant on site Current mill feed at Morila will be exhausted in 2016 Processing plant to be reconfigured to reprocess low grade tailings Potential for Massigui ore to be processed at Morila Discussions ongoing to progress development solution 17

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to confirm the presence of mineral deposits, that any mineralisation will prove to be economic or that a mine will successfully be developed on any of the Company s mineral properties Competent Persons Statement The information in this report that relates to exploration results and Exploration Targets is based on information compiled by or under the supervision of Kevin Anthony Joyce. Mr Joyce is Managing Director of Birimian Limited and a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Joyce has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and the activity he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results. Mr Joyce consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. Previous Reported Results There is information in this presentation that relates to previously reported Exploration Results. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement. 25

Disclaimer Basis of Exploration Target The Exploration Target at Goulamina is estimated in the range of 15Mt to 18Mt at grades between 1.8% and 2.2% Li2O. The deposit outcrops, with surface expression of pegmatite along approximately 700m of strike and up to 55m across strike. The Exploration Target is estimated to a vertical depth of 200m below surface. This style of deposit typically displays excellent continuity and depth extensions can reasonably be expected to be defined by drilling. Upper grade estimates are inferred from bulk surface sampling undertaken by CSA-Global, which returned an average grade of approximately 2.2% Li2O. The lower grade range of 1.8% Li2O allows for potential resource dilution. The Company notes that this Exploration Target is reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (2012 Edition). The potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient work to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource..
