  4. K I N G I S L A N D S C H E E L I T E Geology OPEN CUT RESERVES RESOURCES 3.14m tonnes @ 0.73% W03 9.6m tonnes @ 0.9% W03 (0.20% cut-off) (0.20% cut-0ff) UNDERGROUND OTHER OPERATIONS A desktop study completed Dewatering of pit carried in 2015, indicates 8 year out, validating historical underground mine life, after data and upgrading reserves the open-cut reserves and resources to JORC 2012 depleted 4

  5. K I N G I S L A N D S C H E E L I T E Location King Island • The Dolphin Project is near the town of Grassy, on the south east coast of King Island, the most western large island in Bass Strait • Grassy has historically been a mining town, Dolphin Project developed to service the Dolphin Mine up to 1992 Port 5

  6. K I N G I S L A N D S C H E E L I T E Development Plan • 8 year open cut mine, average annual production of 400,000 tonnes of ore per annum, yielding 200,000 mtu of WO3 (1mtu = 10kg) • Ore to be crushed and processed, primarily through a gravity circuit supplemented with a simple flotation circuit • Option to double mine life through mining existing underground resource • All relevant approvals for open cut mining have now been obtained  Mining Lease valid to 2029  Environmental Approval granted  Approval to relocate plant to south side of pit 6

  7. K I N G I S L A N D S C H E E L I T E Infrastructure • KIS recently acquired “Portside Links” which has strategic relevance, providing the Mine direct access to the port, and all potential land requirements for the redevelopment of the Mine • Located approximately 1km from Port of Grassy (Port of Grassy accommodates 5,000 tonne vessels & serviced weekly from Victoria and Tasmania) • Daily flights operate from Melbourne & Tasmania 7

  8. K I N G I S L A N D S C H E E L I T E European Offtake • Agreement executed with Wolfram Bergbau und Hutten AG, a world leading supplier of Tungsten powders & subsidiary of the Sandvik Group. • Contract for a total of 140,000 mtu’s of WO3 over a four year period. Accounts for 20% of proposed annual production. • Further off-take contracts with other APT producers are at an advanced stage. 8

  9. K I N G I S L A N D S C H E E L I T E Operating Costs At The Bottom Of The Curve • Simple Process • Virtually no cost from mine gate to port • Low strip ratio OPEX ($/MTU) CAPEX (USD Million) $400 $700 $350 $600 $300 $500 $250 $400 $200 $300 $150 $200 $100 $100 $50 $0 $0 9 Source: Company Reports & Announcements

  12. K I N G I S L A N D S C H E E L I T E Tungsten Primary Uses CURRENT • Cemented carbides used in drilling tools and wear-resistant parts • Alloy steels and alloys used primarily in tools • Mill products FUTURE • Nickel-Tungsten alloys could replace chrome plating & nickel-tungsten alloys could replace gold-nickel plating • Smart Technologies (semi conductors) • Deep drilling 12

  13. K I N G I S L A N D S C H E E L I T E Tungsten Demand & Supply DEMAND • Given its unique properties, both the US ,European Union, Japan, Russia & Australia have ranked Tungsten as a strategic metal • Global demand for tungsten is forecast to grow by 2.5% per year till 2026 with Chinese consumption accounting for ~60% • Continued growth in end user with transport, mining and oil & gas • US and European end users are looking to reduce their dependence on Chinese producersn China by entering long term offtake agreements SUPPLY • China continues to be the largest supplier of Tungsten (83% global production) • Environmental crackdowns in China has caused a tightening in the market • Wolf Minerals recently went into administration, reducing the amount of WO3 in the western market • High grade (above 0.5%) deposits are very rare with long lead times from exploration to production 13

  14. K I N G I S L A N D S C H E E L I T E Tungsten Prices • 2017 saw prices rise significantly with expectations of stronger global growth and reduced supply from China • 2018 saw prices remain stable in the H1 of the year while prices pulled back in H2 due to seasonal recess • Analysts expect prices to track back up to US $290/MTU which is the average cost of production for Chinese producers 14
