Molo Deposit Madagascar
Molo is located within the hub of top purchasing and processing markets for flake graphite.
4
• Never exceeded 12,000 TPA production
• Remaining mines are family-owned, small and rudimentary
• Located in environmentally sensitive areas with no possibility of expansion
Typical Madagascar Flake Graphite Setting
5
Madagascar has been renowned as a producer of high-quality, large flake graphite for over a century.
• Flat, grassland with sparse vegetation
• Very low population density
Molo Flake Graphite Setting
6
Arid setting and low population density have prompted top government officials to state the project is ‘perfectly situated’.
Sedimentary Metamorphic
Intermediate Pressure Granulite
High Pressure Granulite
Energizer’s Property is situated in a Very Rare and Unique Geological Setting
Transpressive lithospheric shear zone
• Within the highest grade, medium pressure metamorphic facies
• Energizer has secured ~80% of this zone
• 100% owned
7
• 84.04 Mt indicated resources @ 6.36% C, above a 2% C cut-off
• 40.34 Mt inferred resources @ 6.29% C, above a 2% C cut-off
• Easily expandable to meet additional market demand as required

One of the largest flake graphite deposits in the world. (NI 43-101 compliant)
NI 43-101 compliant resource
Surface Mining Open Pit Mining • Immediately at surface
• No overburden
• Minimal waste-to-ore ratio
• Continuous mineralization throughout
• Open along strike and at depth

Molo Graphite Deposit – Very Large and Expandable
11
• 120 km (75 mile) long property
• Total graphite strike length > 320 km (199 miles)
• Additional tonnage available immediately around Molo
• Molo is one of many graphite zones (17) on Green Giant property
