Project history

• 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

– >23,000 hectares

• 2006 CAMEC secure majority interest

• 2010 ENRC acquire CAMEC

• 2013 RPA complete Preliminary Economic Assessment

– 43-101 compliant

Historical exploration on various subdivisions

• Drilled by Esso Minerals in 1977

– 108 boreholes drilled - most logs and assays acquired by SA Fluorite

• Drilled by Armco Bronne – 1981

– 212 boreholes drilled – 108 logs and assays acquired by SA Fluorite

• A further 102 boreholes drilled by various other companies such as:

– Samancor, Anglo American, Foskor, Rand Mines, US Steel, Shell

Minerals, etc.

• Numerous other borehole localities located, but no logs or assays

acquired

Three mineralized horizons:

• Main mineralized horizon ranges from

9m to 32m in thickness

• Middle mineralized horizon ranges from

2m to 3m in thickness

• Upper mineralized horizon also 2m to

3m in thickness

Typical cross section

•This section illustrates the ability to access the high grade

Rhenosterfontein 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.

Dip 4 degrees, strike – >15km

Economic analysis

• Resource sufficient for +100 life-of-mine (LOM)

• Economic analysis calculated on 30 year mine life

• Low-cost opencast operation

• Sensitive to grade, exchange rate and CaF2 price

• Weak Rand to USD exchange rate beneficial

• Transport to harbour is single largest cost

• Amenable to downstream processing and development of secondary

industries

Proposed future developments

• Potential to update inferred resources to indicated category

– Approximately 3000m of drilling targeted to convert sufficient inferred

to indicated to cover initial 10 yrs of mining

• Continue metallurgical test work at Mintek

• Environmental Studies ongoing

• Pre-feasibility study and processing plant studies

• Marketing study

• Acquisition of additional surface rights

• Application for mining right

• Commercial initiatives around co-investors, partners and financing

solutions
