       Notes 
       Armadale's wholly-owned Mahenge Liandu Graphite Project is located in a highly prospective 
       region, with a high-grade JORC compliant indicated and inferred mineral resource estimate 
       announced February 2018 - 59.5Mt at 9.8% TGC. This includes 11.5Mt @ 10.5% Measured 32.Mt 
       Indicted at 9.6% and 15.9Mt at 9.8% TGC, making it one of the largest high-grade resources 
       in Tanzania. 
       The work to date has demonstrated the Project's potential as a commercially viable deposit, 
       with significant tonnage, high-grade coarse flake and near surface mineralisation (implying 
       a low strip ratio) contained within one contiguous ore body. 
       The Company's updated Definitive Feasibility Study (June 2020) confirmed Mahenge as a long-life 
       low-cost graphite project with a US$430m NPV and IRR of 91% based on a two-stage expansion 
       strategy comprising: 
        *    Stage One - processing plant and infrastructure at a 
             nominal design basis rate of 0.4-0.5 Mt/pa to produce 
             a nominal 60,000t/pa graphite concentrate in the 
             first three years of production 
 
 
        *    Stage Two - a second 0.5 Mt/y plant and associated 
             additional infrastructure doubling throughput to 1 
             Mt/y from Year 5 of operation 
 
 
       The DFS shows that Armadale can be a significant low-cost supplier to the graphite industry 
       with the potential to generate pre-tax cashflows of US$985m over an initial 15 year mine-life 
       and scope for further improvement as this utilises just 25% of the current resource, which 
       remains open in multiple directions. 
       Projected timeline to first production is expected to be approximately 10-12 months from the 
       start of construction and the capital cost estimate for Stage 1 is US$39.7m, which includes 
       a contingency of U$S4.1m or 15% of total direct capital cost, with a 1.6 year payback for 
       Stage 1 (after tax) based on an average sales price of US$1,112/t. Stage 2 expansion is expected 
       to be funded from cashflow.
