Flake size distribution

 The spherical graphite was produced from fine grained Balama graphite (100 μm) resulting in a finer grained sphere which is ideal for lithium ion battery use

 Consumer battery producers utilise graphite with 90% distribution at <10 μm)

 The spherical graphite produced by Syrah consisted of the following distributions and specifications: 90% Distribution <6.63μm 50% Distribution <4.69μm 10% Distribution <2.73μm Feed Size 100 μm D90: 6.63 μm D50: 4.69 μm

Specific surface area: 1.47sqm/cc Spherical graphite yield: 50%

Flake graphite feed size 100 μm

Spherical Graphite

 Metallurgical testwork on Balama East flake graphite shows that 58.3% of the processed material is coarse to very coarse (80+ mesh and above)

 Economic Assessment Results (from Snowden Mining Study) has confirmed:

− Low capital cost of US$92 million (graphite only) − Mine gate cost of US$102/t

− Total FOB costs of US$198/t to the port of Pemba.

− The projected operating costs are bottom of the cost curve for graphite production

 Drivers of low cost:

− Open pit mining (no drill and blast) with negligible strip ratio

– Favorable infrastructure is assisting strong project economics—water, roads, power, port

– High grade ore and simple metallurgy

− Affordable labour

Syrah is expected to be the lowest cost producer in the world

[1]

[1] Based on scoping study prepared by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants in June 2013

 Metallurgical test work has been conducted on Balama graphitic

material by two international laboratories

 Uncomplicated graphite metallurgy via flotation achieved high grade concentrate (96-98% TGC) and high recovery (92%)

 Low levels of ash, volatile, moisture and sulphur

 Flowsheet optimisation currently being completed by pilot plant testwork

Spherical Graphite – Battery Anode



High quality spherical graphite was produced from Balama flake graphite



Spherical graphite was produced from fine grained Balama graphite (100 microns) resulting in finer grained sphere which is most ideal for lithium ion battery

applications

Consumer electronic batteries require sub 10 micron due to higher surface area and energy density requirements



Historically automotive batteries have used 15-20 micron material due to cost



Significant interest for Balama spherical graphite has been shown by Asian based battery groups



Vanadium Redox Battery (VRB)

 Potential large driver of vanadium demand for grid storage applications

 VRBs can better match electricity supply and demand in real time

 Increases grid efficiency and potentially reduces the number of power plants required

 VRBs could capture ~17% of the energy grid storage market by 2017 [1]

 ~46 tonnes of V₂O₅ is required for 1 MW capacity using VRBS for grid storage [2]

 Global market for energy storage over the next 10 years could be upwards of 300 GW and US$200-US$600 billion in value [3]

 Sumitomo Electric Industries is currently working with Hokkaido Electric Power to store electricity using VRBs in order to stabilise its grid

network

 VRBs require high purity V₂O₅ greater than 99.9% purity
