Saprolite Limonite

For personal use only

Testing: Amdel – Perth metallurgical laboratory HPAL chosen route Limonite X Saprolite Feasibility Study demonstrated questionable HPAL project economics based on:

• Nickel Price
• Project CAPEX
• Economics of processing limited amounts of 2/3rds of the then known ore body

(Saprolite) Outcome 1. Need a larger limonite resource to improve economics or, 2. Alternative new process technology Metallurgical Testwork

Future Development Options

• Mine – ship ore
• Mine + part process – ship product
• Mine + full process – ship nickel

Limited Infrastructure: No Electricity Network Electricity Challenges

• Remote
• No existing power infrastructure
• No gas
• No coal
• Wind questionable

Opportunity

• Hydro electricity

Requirements:

• Regular water supply
• Sustained water flow
• Adequate “head”

RMC Team has identified two waterfalls with all 3 requirements adjacent to the Wowo Gap deposit Advantages:

• Run-of-river
• No dams required

Hydro Electricity Power Potential

Located 2 options:

• 50 metre fall
• 250 metre fall

Basic measurement to determine:

1. Velocity of a body of water 2. Cross-sectional area of a ‘slice’ of stream (in velocity measurement section) 3. Flow of the stream using 1 and 2 4. Vertical height of a slope down which the water flows 5. Calculate the power generation potential
