KEY COMPONENT OF THE GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION
BATTLE OF CLEAN GREEN NICKEL SULPHIDE VERSUS DIRTY NICKEL LATERITE
NICKEL LATERITE
Around four times more energy and CO2 intensive than sulphide, large surficial deposits in tropical
regions such as Indonesia are extremely environmentally destructive
Nickel Consumption
Special Steels 5%
Electroplating 6%
Alloys/Superalloys 8%
HIGH-GRADE MASSIVE NICKEL SULPHIDE
High value per tonne deposits, hard to find on a size and scale that will meet supply shortfall e.g. major
Nova Bollinger discovery “only” ~325,000t of contained Ni
Batteries 15%
LARGE LOW-GRADE DISSEMINATED NICKEL SULPHIDE
Largest nickel mines in the world, nickel “equivalent” of copper porphyry, economies of scale, deposits
>1Mt of contained Ni able to supply +30kt/yr Ni for multiple decades, readily produce high-grade Ni
concentrate
Stainless Steel 65%

EXCITING DISCOVERY OPPORTUNITY
EXPLORATION PHILOSOPHY
• We believe multiple significant nickel deposits will be found at Mulga Tank
• We strive to do high-quality technical exploration work
• We are frugal with overheads to maximise exploration spend and minimise equity dilution
• We want to change shareholders lives through share price increase not be a lifestyle
• We offer a compelling risk vs reward and leverage to exploration success
