READY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY - IN THE EUROPEAN LITHIUM INDUSTRY

Dominant position:

  • Sole owner of the Mina do Barroso lithium project in
  • Portugal. Mina do Barroso is the biggest spodumene

lithium discovery in Western Europe in recent times. DFS underway and targeting production in 2021.

Opportunity:

  • The EU auto industry needs sustainable domestic

battery raw material supply to support transisiton to

  • EVs. Europe’s auto OEMs will experience increased

competition for battery raw materials and EV sales from alternative carmakers in 2020s. SAV is well positioned to be the anchor to this robust supply chain.

Powerful demand drivers for Lithium:

  • Lithium and lithium battery demand are ultimately

driven by tightening vehicle emissions legislation and growing public desire to limit climate change. Lithium mining Cos offer good exposure to the sector.

Diverse Corporate Value proposition:

  • JV with Rio Tinto on the world-class Mutamba

mineral sands project in southern Mozambique, and JVs on two copper projects in Oman complete a diversified asset portfolio (Award of mining licences in finalisation in both countries).

Many value adding events in 2019/20:

  • Multiple major milestones are expected to be

reached at Mina do Barroso including submission of the EIA and completion of the DFS; Confirmation of Mining Licence awards in Mozambique and Oman; conclusion of Oman strategic review.

Board & Management:

  • Aligned with shareholders (having invested £8.5m

cash) and focused on project delivery. Experienced mine builders and operators who demand high standards in project appraisal processes to ensure successful future developments.

c.10m in 2025i driving a 4x increase in total refined lithium demandii. (EV sales are forecast at 28m in 2030i) Supply crunch ahead:

  • Output of refined lithium is expected to fall short of

the required demand generating a deficit in the 2020sii. Positive for prices and new producers like SAV Europe – strong demand, great opportunity:

  • The world’s 2ndlargest market for lithium, but currently

imports 100% of battery grade material requiredii

  • Europe’s lithium demand for EV batteries set to grow

7x between 2018 and 2025iii

A successful year of exploration and resource delineation at Mina do Barroso has: + Shown the project’s potential to have a resource range between 37-47Mti - multi-decade Li source for Europe’s battery industry + More than doubled the Measured & Indicated Resources to 15Mt - now available for conversion to reserves + Reduced geological risk by increasing the number of orebodies from 3 to 5 + Maintained the overall Li2O grade and confirmed low iron content - confirmed export spec

  • Added to drilling and assaying schedules & costs
  • Added greater complexity to project planning and orebody sequencing for DFS
  • Added greater complexity to mineral processing due to variations in mineralogy between orebodies

MINA DO BARROSO - LI METALLURGICAL TEST WORK

A lesson from recent history – SAV has 2nd mover advantage:

  • New spodumene producers in Australia targeting Li2O recovery rates of

75%-80% have reported recoveries of 55%-65% (73%-81% of target) 11 months after producing first concentrate

  • Lower recovery = potential for lower production, ’off-spec’ material,

higher unit operating costs, lower cash flow generation...pressure on business during critical initial operating phase

  • Conclusion: Lab and Pilot Scale testing must identify the processing

route which gives optimum results for all the Mina do Barroso

  • rebodies before commercial scale up

Achievements to date, next steps:

+ Pre-Scoping study test work showed 80% recovery and that battery grade concentrate could be produced through conventional processing routes + 2nd phase tested 3 conventional processing options. 2 produced 6%+ Li2O concentrate, other option eliminated

  • Multiple orebodies with subtle variations in mineralogy and weathering profiles led to test work on samples from all orebodies (as

discovered) + 3rd phase test work expected to be completed in September 2019 + Pilot plant scale testing of selected processing route to begin in October and run into Q1 2020

Key Reasons we have extended the Mina do Barroso Definitive Feasibility Study:

  • Drilling success & resource expansion: Sustained successful resource delineation on known
  • rebodies and discovery of Pinheiro & Aldeia – Pinheiro has been brought into DFS and EIA work

programmesi

  • Metallurgy: The project’s orebodies show variations in non-Li mineralogy and have weathering
  • profiles. All ore types must be rigourously tested to ensure the project’s processing plant is

designed to consistently produce battery grade concentrate over the life of project: More

  • rebodies = more test work
  • Leverage recent Australian experiences: New hardrock lithium producers in Australia have

experienced issues during the commissioning phase relating to low recovery rates, poor product quality and high operating costs all impacting cash flow

  • Acquisition of minority 25% stake in project: Required significant management time in Q4 2018 –

Q2 2019. Successfully completed in June 2019 via all share deal - project now 100% owned and vendors locked in until June 2020, followed by a nine month orderly market restriction

THE INVESTMENT CASE - EUROPE’S LEADING CONVENTIONAL LITHIUM PROJECT

  • Owner/operator of the 100% owned Mina do Barroso Lithium Project in Portugal - Western

Europe’s largest spodumene lithium discovery…and growing!

  • Strategically located close to the EU’s fast-growing lithium ion battery production hubs. Geo-

economically strategic to the development of an end-to-end lithium value chain in Europe

  • Objective to become the first significant lithium spodumene producer in Europe
  • Strong market fundamentals for Electric Vehicles – European automotive lithium demand to

rise 7x by 2025 and 16x by 2030i as OEMs are forced to produce more EVs to meet tightening emissions legislation and respond to growing public awareness of climate change issues

  • Scope and budget for completion of current DFS have been extended due to new resource

discoveries and decision to increase intensity of metallurgical test work

  • Current market valuation doesn’t reflect significant value adding/de-risking of the project in the

past 12 months

  • Additional upside from world class heavy mineral sand project in JV with Rio Tinto and high

grade copper project in Oman

LITHIUM MINING IN PORTUGAL -

THE INDUSTRY EXISTS - AND MOVING TO 5TH PLACE

  • Like Australia, lithium production in Portugal is solely from

hardrock, and principally pegmatites. Current production is less than 1% of that in Australia

  • Production in Portugal has been used in lithium’s traditional

markets of glass and ceramics. There was previously production from pegmatites at Mina do Barroso

  • With the significant growth in the Australian lithium mining

sector, hardrock production has become the dominant source of supply globally (72% vs. 28% for brine in 2018ii)

  • The Portuguese Government is keen to develop a new

lithium production industry based

  • n

MINA DO BARROSO - LARGE RESOURCE + GROWTH POTENTIAL

  • Spodumene is the primary Li2O bearing mineral, with trace or low amounts (~1%) of Li2O also present within eucryptite and petalite,

both lithium aluminosilicate minerals, similar in structure to spodumene. Trace epidolite (lithium bearing mica) is also present

  • Primary gangue minerals are feldspar (albite and microcline), quartz and mica (muscovite and phlogophite)

iCautionary Statement: The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Targets is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration work to estimate a mineral resource

and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in defining a mineral resource.

MINA DO BARROSO - CO-PRODUCT CREDITS

+ Co-products from the Li concentrator tail include: High purity feldspar & quartz and a bulk, mixed feldspar-quartz stream + Commercial test work has shown that: + The feldspar product is suitable for use in ceramics, float & container glass and could sell at US$65-100/t vs. Scoping Study assumed price of US$39/t + The quartz product is suitable for use in lead crystal & container glass and could sell at US$60-100/t vs. Scoping Study assumed price of US$33/t + Bulk tail (mixed feldspar & quartz) suitable for use in ceramics and could sell at US$40-45/t + Bulk tail production only could save c.US$15m on plant capex + Portugal and Spain produce 570 million m2 of ceramic tiles per yeari (Europe has a ~€30bn ceramics market)ii + ~33Mt of container and float glass are produced in Europe each year, including from plants in Portugal and Spainiii + Discussions are underway with potential offtake partners/customers for all products to determine sales volumes + Co-product resource estimates to be published this year
