METALS INVESTMENT TRUST LIMITED:
10% SECURED CONVERTIBLE LOAN STOCK
Maturing 15th February 2005

Convertible into 302,703 shares of Metals Investment Trust Limited.

Summary of the Confidential Offering Memorandum

Metals Investment Trust Limited [‘MITL’] is a company duly incorporated under the laws of
England and Wales on the 26th day of October 1998. Meyado International Ltd [‘Meyado’]
in its own name and as nominee shareholder on behalf of its clients owns a majority stake
with more than 75% of the voting rights of MITL’s shares. MITL is the sole controlling
shareholder of Meretec Corporation; a company duly incorporated under the laws of the State
of Delaware, USA on the 9th day of May 2000 [‘Meretec’]. Meretec is the global brand name
for a process, which transforms galvanized steel scrap into premium-grade steel melting stock
and ready-to-use high quality zinc dust [‘the Meretec process’]. MITL through its wholly
owned subsidiary Meretec, has the potential to become one of the world’s largest producers of
zinc and the global market leader in the recycling of galvanised steel.

The proceeds of this Offering, by which investors or subscribers will receive Loan Stock in
MITL, will be directed primarily at the completion of Meretec’s plant. It is estimated that
with all best efforts, construction will be completed within an estimated time frame of 12
weeks from the closing of this Offering. A further 14 weeks will be required as a run-up
period in order to bring the plant fully online. Investors in this Offering are required to
subscribe a minimum in MITL’s Loan Stock of US$50,000 or multiples of US$ 25,000 [i.e.
$50,000, $75,000, $100,000, etc.].

This Offering represents an offer in MITL’s Loan Stock paying an annual interest rate of 10%
per annum. The Loan Stock is secured on the property, plant and patents of MITL. The Loan
Stock may be converted to shares in MITL at a price of $ 18.50 on 15th February 2005. It is
envisaged by MITL that the required and realized total subscriptions received from investors
to this Offering will amount to a targeted US$6,048,000.

This value of the property, plant and patents as well as the price per MITL’s share has been
based on an independent valuation of MITL’s current plant and projected profit by a major
international consulting firm specializing in this field.

Subscriptions by investors will be received by MITL subject to rejection in whole or in part

by the directors of Meyado, which strictly reserves the right to close the within Offering at
any time without notice and in any event, the Offering will terminate at 11.59 pm, GMT, on
the 15th day of February, 2002 or any subsequent extension thereof.

 BACKGROUND TO THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

MITL removes the zinc coating from scrap galvanized steel before recycling, recovering
premium-grade melt stock and high quality zinc dust as resources to sell with profit, whilst
adding value to customers by preventing pollution and its associated costs.

THE DEMAND

Environmental considerations are now firmly and permanently on the boardroom agenda;
corporations are facing the prospect of unlimited legal liability, increasing material and
production costs, negative publicity and consumer rejection.

Reducing the environmental impact of a company’s output has become a strategic corporate
goal. The solution is eco-efficiency; the combination of environmental considerations with the
practical reality of business economics. The key components of eco-efficiency are pollution
prevention (P2) and resource recovery (R2).

THE NICHE

With its Meretec process, MITL is a world leader in P2R2 technology and the market leader in
its niche. That niche is the multi-billion USD a year market of recycling galvanised steel.

Steel is the most recycled material on earth, a process realised by melting scrap within the
steel making and metal casting industries. But when melting galvanised steel, the zinc coating
vaporises to become a costly contaminant, pollutant and chemical waste, with operational,
metallurgical, and environmental consequences. The current costs and production penalties,
plus the potential future legal liabilities, resulting from the collection, treatment, disposal and
reuse of this waste are neither economically nor environmentally intelligent, when its
production can be significantly reduced or eliminated altogether.

THE MERETEC PROCESS

The patented Meretec process removes the zinc coating before the recycling process,
preventing the pollution that would otherwise be generated, and recovering the resources that
would otherwise be lost.

The Meretec process removes the zinc coating via a chemical reaction with sodium hydroxide
in solution, leaving the steel in a virtually identical chemical state to when it was first
produced. The Meretec process then recovers the zinc via electrowinning, a form of
electrolysis, to produce zinc dust of 99.98% purity.

The Meretec process is itself eco-efficient, with all processing chemicals being internally
recycled, and only oxygen and hydrogen combined as water vapour, released into the
atmosphere.

The resulting residual-free steel is a premium-grade melt stock, the in-feed of choice for much
of the metal casting industry. The high quality zinc dust is an altogether unique product, with
highly specialised industrial and manufacturing applications, and realises a premium over the
LME price.

10
ADDED VALUE

For each tonne of galvanised steel processed, MITL generates approximately 60 USD of
tangible added-value. MITL’s profitability is only limited by the volume of galvanised steel
that it can process.

OPERATIONS

Currently focusing on the US market, MITL is positioning itself to process the 2 million
tonnes of scrap galvanised steel produced annually as stamping plant off-cuts by the US
automotive industry. Additional growth will come from processing the galvanised steel from
end-life automotive vehicles.

Capitalising on 15 years of R&D in conjunction with the US Department of Energy, General

Motors and the US Iron and Steel Association, MITL’s 11-acre East Chicago facility is the
world’s first commercial operation and is only 26 weeks away from going on-line.*

THE OPPORTUNITY.

In addition to the contribution Loan Stock holders will make by participating in this Offering,
they will be well positioned to take financial advantage of the benefits, which will likely
accrue if MITL goes for its Initial Public Offering, which is anticipated within the next 18
months or is sold to a third party investor (Read Risk Factors).

* As at 30 November 2001, and dependent upon funding of $6,048,000 being raised.

 INVESTMENT POLICY AND OBJECTIVES

The proceeds of this Offering, namely a maximum of $6,048,000 to be raised from

participating subscribers to MITL’s Loan Stock, will be directed primarily to the completion
of the plant at 415 East 151st Street, East Chicago, Indiana, USA.

SUBSCRIPTION PROCEDURE

MITL is offering an overall total investment subscription of $6,048,000. Investors in this

Offering are required to subscribe a minimum of $50,000 or higher multiples of $25,000.

After execution by the investor of the subscription form and delivery of payment in the form
of a bankers draft, certified cheque or telegraphic transfer, an investor is entitled to withdraw
from the agreement to purchase MITL’s Loan Stock if, within 5 days following receipt of
funds, written notice is given to Meyado that the investor has chosen not to be bound by the
agreement and wishes to be reimbursed his or her subscription amount. In such case the full
subscription amount, less any bank charges, will be released from the company’s bank
account within 10 days of receipt of such notice, said reimbursed amount not being subject to
the payment of any interest or any administrative charges.

In the event that investors do not avail themselves of the foregoing ‘cooling-off’ period, then
such subscriptions are irrevocable and non-refundable. Meyado will hold the subscription
amount pending confirmation to subscribers that their subscription has been received,
following which within 10 days, a receipt will be sent to the address given by the subscriber
for correspondence stating that the requisite investment has been transferred to a nominee
account bearing the subscriber’s name.

At any and all times and notwithstanding the foregoing, subscribers may assign their Loan
Stock to a third party, upon written notice being given to Meyado. The appropriate changes
to the company Loan Stock register will be implemented by Meyado to facilitate such transfer
from the Loan Stock holder to any third party.

17
 RISK FACTORS

Risks that all investors need to be aware of before purchasing Loan Stock:

MITL proposes to operate a plant using a chemical process to treat scrap-galvanised steel and
produce clean black scrap and zinc powder of a very high level of purity. Revenues will be
derived from the sale of these products.

THIS OFFERING INVOLVES A CERTAIN DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD

CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW BEFORE YOU
DECIDE TO BUY OUR LOAN STOCK. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS
ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, PROSPECTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ARE LIKELY TO SUFFER.

1. Risks related to our financial condition

1.1 We Have Only Been in Business for a Short Period of Time; Your Basis for Evaluating Us
Is Limited
We were incorporated in October 1998. The existing plant in East Chicago has not yet
reached full operating capacity. Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history for
you to evaluate our business. You must consider the risks, expenses and uncertainties that an
early stage company like ours faces. In order to address these risks successfully, we must:

- Create awareness of our product;

- Develop the quality of the zinc powder we produce to the target level of 99.9%
purity;

- Attract customers;

- Develop strategic relationships;

- Continue to develop and upgrade our technology; and

- Attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully address such risks,
and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

1.2 We Have Never Made Money

We have received no revenues from any source to date. As of 30th June 2001, we had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $0. We expect to incur losses until we become fully
operational.

We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. We may not achieve
profitability. If we do not generate revenues or if our revenues grow more slowly than we
anticipate or if our operating expenses increase more than we expect our business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

18
1.3 No Current Source of Revenue
We expect to derive our revenues from the sale of clean black scrap steel and zinc powder.
However to date, we have not yet signed any supply contracts with prospective purchasers for
our product. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain sales in sufficient amounts to
make us profitable, or at all.

1.4 Fluctuation in Operating Results

Our future revenues and results of operations may fluctuate due to a combination of factors,
including:

- The LME zinc price, on which our zinc powder sales will be based;

- Our ability to attract and retain customers;

- Technical difficulties that may arise at the plant;

- Future competition in our market; and

- General economic conditions in North America.

Future revenues are difficult to forecast. If we have a shortfall in revenues in relation to our
expenses, then our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition would be
materially and adversely affected.

1.5 Initial Public Offering

Our goal is to float the Company on the Nasdaq in or about December 2002. There can be no
assurance that such a flotation will be successful, and both the decision to go ahead with the
flotation, and the timing thereof, will be subject to a number of factors, including:

- Market conditions;

- The commencement, and the quality of our operating performance; and

- Investor sentiment.

These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of the intended flotation
unattractive for us. If we are unable to arrange a successful IPO our prospects for further
expansion would be materially and adversely affected; and the ability of investors to sell their
shares would be jeopardized.

2. Other risks relating to our company

2.1 We Are Dependent on Our Intellectual Property

We believe that the US patent we hold, and the patents applied for in the European Union and
Japan, will be critical to our success. We will rely on such patents to protect our intellectual
property rights. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain details
of and use our processes without authorization, particularly in developing countries where our
process will be of great value and where intellectual property rights are not protected to the
same extent as under the laws of the United States.

19
Enforcement of our rights against those who may infringe them may be time consuming and
expensive. There may be patents issued or pending that are held by others and that cover
processes intended to achieve by other means the same results as our process achieves. The
successful development of such processes could have a material adverse effect on our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

3. Risks related to this offering

3.1 Broad Discretion of Management as to Use of Proceeds.

The net proceeds to be received by us in connection with this Offering are allocated for a
specific purpose, namely to complete construction of the plant. Nevertheless, management
will have broad discretion with respect to the expenditure of such proceeds; and to the extent
that only a portion of the Loan Stock is sold, all or a very significant portion of the proceeds
received from Investors would be used to pay the expenses incurred in the Offering.

3.2 Shares are held by Meyado as Nominee Shareholder on behalf of existing and future
investors.
Meyado as Nominee Shareholder owns a controlling 75% interest in MITL and will have
significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter
submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of
all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in
control. The interests of Meyado may differ from the interests of the other shareholders.
Among other things, Meyado could use such control to add provisions to our Memorandum
and Articles that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or
changes in our management that a shareholder might consider favourable. Meyado is a
relatively small private limited company, substantially controlled by a single major
shareholder, and to the extent that Meyado might be subject to financial difficulties MITL
could be adversely affected.

3.3 Absence of Dividends.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on the Shares and does not anticipate paying
any such cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

3.4 Restrictions on Transferability. No Market for the Loan Stock or Shares.

There is no existing public or other market for the Loan Stock. It is not anticipated that any
such market will develop which will permit the sale of the Loan Stock unless and until the
Company is floated on the Nasdaq or a similar market. Such flotation is not guaranteed and
consequently investors may not be able to liquidate their investment in the Loan Stock or
Shares in case of an emergency or for any other reason.

property, plant, machinery and patents may not be obtained. Consequently, investors may not
have the full amount of their original investment returned. Further, there is no guarantee that
an immediate sale of the assets can, or will, take place.
