WHY ZINC? Supply and Inventory Declining

Zinc Price vs. Inventory

(2010 – current)

SLIDE 10

Global infrastructure projects and urbanization continue to drive need for zinc Global demand growth expected of 2.4%* Tightening environmental regulations in China forcing closures, 6% decrease in Chinese production in 2017, and 40% increase in zinc imports

ZINC DEMAND DRIVERS Infrastructure and New Applications

New applications driving zinc consumption: agriculture (nutrient/fertilizer), electrically- charged zinc-air batteries, renewable power storage and fuel cells (batteries market could represent a 3% - 6% annual impact on future demand (Stormcrow Capital, February 2018)
