Key Advantages

Patented production process that removes magnesium early in the process, and crystallises final product at low ppm concentrations

Plant phase 1 of six now operating, 10,000 Na2SO4 per 14 days

Process takes 100 days so low evaporation capital

All raw material is closeby and produced by Rincon Lithium keeping opex costs downopex costs down

Funding available through project finance, note issue and pre-sales

All key staff hiredAll key staff hired

Expansion to 34,000 tonnes Li2CO3 relatively simple, substantial reserves of brine

Pyke Hill – Nickel Cobalt JV – Cougar Metals NL

The Pyke Hill Project is located approximately 40km southeast of the Murrin Murrin Nickel Operation, nearsoutheast of the Murrin Murrin Nickel Operation, near Leonora, Western Australia.

Prospective for a high-grade nickel-cobalt lateritic resource. Estimated in-ground value $3.1b.

Aircore drilling undertaken by Cougar in FY2004 returned intersections including 7m @ 2.26% Ni, 6m @ 2.03% Ni and 8m @ 1.50% Ni.

In FY2005 Co gar completed t o additional drillingIn FY2005 Cougar completed two additional drilling programs at the project. A total of 25 holes for 896m were drilled, The second program was completed at the end of FY2005 and consisted of 31 Aircore drill holes for 1380mholes for 1380m.

Results of the better intersections encountered ranged in thicknesses from 3m to 17m and averaged 7.5m. The depth to the top of mineralisation varied from 13m to a maximum of 23m Grades averagedfrom 13m to a maximum of 23m. Grades averaged 1.48% Ni overall using a 1.2% Ni cut-off.

Joint venture provides Admiralty with A$0.20 cents per tonne of “run of mine” ore.
