Carnallite Resource Amenable to Solution Mining


Solution Mining Conventional Mining

Water soluble ore amenable to solution mining Allows for lower capex & shorter construction timeline than conventional mining Low environmental impact than conventional mining

Extraction

Injection Ore Skips

Brine Tank Shaft

Mining Machines

Conveyor

Extraction Summary: Heated brine (salt and water solution) is injected into the mine and salt from the walls Deposit Features: Deeper deposits / irregular shaped Mine Depth: Up to ~3,000 metres Typical Mining Method: Salt dissolution and brine pumping (solution is brought to the surface to be processed)

Extraction Summary: Miners travel down the shaft to the mining level to break up and retrieve the ore Deposit Features: Shallow to deep Mine Depth: Up to ~1,000 metres Typical Mining Method: 1) room and pillar; 2) drill and blast

Moving to Production
2011 Feasibility Geological Analysis Environmental Impact Plant construction 500,000 tonne commissioning
Staged project roll-out mitigates pre-construction risk Above indicative work plan assumes that plant construction and commissioning can be completed within 24 to 30 months following commencement of mine development. Mine development assumed to commence following completion of the planned feasibility study, which the company aims to complete during 2011.
