There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. 17 Muchea Exploration Target Aircore Drill Area Exploration Target Auger Area Exploration Target • • • • • • • 37 aircore drill holes Exploration Target area 835 ha 1.6t/m3 in situ bulk density (meas) • Between 80% and 100% of area contains high grade silica sand • Depth of high grade sand 6 to 9 50 auger holes Exploration Target area 1,800 ha 1.6t/m3 in situ bulk density Between 80% and 100% of area contains high grade silica sand • Depth of high grade sand 4 to 5 metres metres Auger drilling in the Exploration Target Areas has been completed and is adequate for a JORC-2012 compliant Maiden Mineral Resource estimate but further Aircore drilling is planned for mid to late September 2018 to upgrade the level of confidence and increase the Resource by drilling deeper than the hand-held auger. 18 Muchea • Muchea is potentially a world class highgrade silica sand deposit • With an unusually high grade feed stock simple processing can provide almost any required grade product 19 Muchea • Due diligence drilling indicated high-grade SiO2 (+99.7% Avg) • Preliminary testwork indicates processing can upgrade sand to specialised glass quality • Current logistics under-utilised with significant interest from operators 20 Proposed Exploration Program Drilling using 4WD-mounted AC rig and hand held auger 21 Proposed Exploration Program • Exploration to date is adequate for Inferred Resources following QA/QC review • All exploration above the water table • Closer spaced drilling required for an Indicated Resource planned for January 2019 • Very low cost shallow drilling (10-15m) in free running sand • Sand 2-3% moisture (no dust…) • ISBD determination completed • Significant testwork programs either completed or underway • Mining will require no dewatering 22 Development Program • First Pass drilling by AC and hand auger completed on all projects • Third iteration bulk testwork will determine potential products and required processing equipment • Testwork will also produce final quality samples to send to potential importers in Japan, China, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan and Korea • Wet processing by conventional plant (no chemicals) • Finalise logistics chain for access to rail and port facilities to export sand from Arrowsmith through Geraldton and from Muchea through Kwinana • Spring environmental studies completed • Preliminary engineering underway ±15% capital cost estimate • Feasibility study components to be completed by end of 2018 23 Processing Established processing techniques (no chemicals, no dust) 24 Corporate & Capital Summary Share Code (ASX) VRX Shares Shares on Is s ue 364.7 m Options is s ued 46.25 m ASX 52 week high/low $0.18/$0.009 Cas h $1.7 m Debt Nil Market Capitalis ation $47 m Directors Paul Boyatzis Non-Executive Chairman Bruce Maluish Managing Director Peter Pawlowitsch Non-Executive Director 25 Investment Considerations EMERGING AUSTRALIAN STRATEGIC SILICA SAND PRODUCER IDEALLY PLACED TO CAPITALISE ON ROBUST MARKET OUTLOOK AND DEMAND OUTSTANDING PROJECT ECONOMICS AND LOGISTICS POTENTIAL LARGE SAND RESOURCES AND PRODUCTION RAPID PATHWAY TO FINANCING AND PRODUCTION OTHER PROSPECTS UNDER INVESTIGATION 26 Competent Person’s Statement The information in this document that relates to Arrowsmith Exploration Results is based on data collected under the supervision of Mr David Reid, in his capacity as Exploration Manager for Ventnor. Mr Reid, BSc (Geology), is a registered member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person under the 2012 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Reid consents to the inclusion of the data in the form and context in which it appears. The information in this document that relates to Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Mr Grant Louw, under the direction and supervision of Dr Andrew Scogings, who were both full-time employees of CSA Global at the time of the Mineral Resource estimation. Dr Scogings is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. He is a Registered Professional Geologist in Industrial Minerals. Dr Scogings has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources, and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). Dr Scogings consents to the disclosure of information in this report in the form and context in which it appears. 28
