5. FID Approved, Funding and Contractor Mobilisation





$60m project equity + $55m project finance with credit-approved terms sheet from mandated international banks BNP Paribas and
Société Générale. ~$40m available at corporate level to fund resource extension, exploration and working capital



Facility Amount $55 million (50% BNP Paribas & 50% Société Générale)
▪ Board approved full development on 17 September 2020
Tenor 3.75 years
▪ Mining contractor Pit N Portal now mobilising equipment Last Repayment/ Expiry 30 September 2024

and workforce Interest Rate Currently 3.7% per annum (BBSY + 360 basis points)

Upfront Fee 1.75%
▪ Debt funding only now subject to legal due diligence,
documentation and customary conditions precedent Undrawn Commitment Fee 1.44% per annum
Quarterly repayments sculpted from 30 September 2022
▪ Very competitive interest rate based on quality of credit Amortisation/ Repayment Additional cash sweep of 40% of surplus cash in excess of a minimum liquidity requirement of

$8 million to be applied to repayments
▪ Two Tier-1 international banks with a proud history of Early Repayment Allowed without penalties or charges
supporting resource projects in Australia AUD hedging of ~5,500 nickel tonnes at price not less than $17,000/t, split into 2 tranches:
▪ ~3,400 nickel tonnes hedged as a condition precedent to first draw-down; and
▪ After project equity is contributed, Mincor retains ~$40m Mandatory Hedging ▪ balance of ~2,100 nickel tonnes prior to commencement of production.

in available cash for continuing resource growth, Should the hedged price be less than $17,000/t for the balance quantity, there is flexibility to
exploration expenditure and additional contingency compensate for the lower achievable price

Conditions and Warranties Customary for a project financing facility of this nature

Looking Ahead…










Key expected milestones expected by the time of next year’s Nickel Conference


1. Multiple project development updates

2. Financing Facility executed with Société Générale and BNP Paribas

3. Ongoing exploration news-flow from Cassini North drilling

4. Drilling results from the “golden mile” between Long and Durkin

5. First ore imminent from operations


6. Kambalda nickel concentrator being set-up for operations

7. Employment of over 200 staff

8. Community support programs

Nickel – the Fastest Growing Battery Raw Material






Nickel and Cobalt are used in the most dominant
battery chemistries for electric vehicles (EVs) –
NMC (Ni Mn Co) and NCA (Ni Co Al)

• Cathode and battery manufacturers are
moving towards higher nickel and lower
cobalt chemistries (migration from NMC
111/622 to NMC811)

• NMC 811 is predicted to make up 75% of the
NMC battery mix by 2025

• Blackstone’s objective is to be the “first
mover” to deliver nickel sulfate into Vietnam’s
Lithium-ion battery industry during the
imminent demand growth coming from EVs

EcoPro - World’s Second Largest and Korea’s Largest Nickel-

rich Cathode Manufacturer








Blackstone recently partnered with EcoPro, the world’s

second largest nickel-rich cathode manufacturer:



• EcoPro is a South Korea-based company engaged in the battery
and environment material businesses



• EcoPro manufactures cathode active materials and precursors
used for Lithium-ion batteries



• EcoPro BM is a subsidiary of EcoPro which produces and sells
high-nickel cathode materials and other products



• EcoPro BM is a world-leader in the high-volume cathode

material market and currently the world’s second largest and
Korea’s largest nickel-rich cathode materials manufacturer


• EcoPro BM’s major customers include some of the world’s

largest battery manufacturers

Ban Phuc DSS – King Cobra Discovery




















Section
49950












• Blackstone recently discovered the
King Cobra shallow, high grade zone within the Ban Phuc DSS


• The King Cobra discovery provides a potential vector towards
the high grade “feeder zone”


• Approximately one third of the Ban Phuc DSS target is open
to the north east and at depth

• The King Cobra discovery hole recently intersected 60m @
1.3% Ni and 142m @ 0.41% Ni, with a high-grade zone of
13.9m @ 2.25% Ni

Ta Khoa Nickel – PGE (Cu – Co) Sulfide District

Underexplored district scale nickel sulfide opportunity






• District scale Nickel PGE (Cu Co) sulfide project


• Over 25 advanced stage massive sulfide vein (MSV)
targets and a number of large bulk-tonnage

disseminated sulfide (DSS) prospects


• Blackstone initial focus on Ban Phuc disseminated,

potentially bulk-mineable deposit


• Drilling has commenced at Ban Chang with massive
sulfide intersected over an initial 1.2km of strike
length within a 1.2km long EM target zone



• Prioritising targets within a 5km “processing radius”
of Ban Phuc 450ktpa concentrator



• Systematically testing targets with in-house modern
geophysics and company-owned drill rigs


• Geophysics crew has commenced on recently identified
Ta Cuong prospect associated with the Ban Khang
ultramafic intrusion which is analogous to the flagship

Ban Phuc orebody

Ta Khoa Downstream Nickel Sulfate Refinery










Blackstone is advancing an initial scoping study in parallel
with resource drilling that includes plans for a Nickel Sulfate

Refinery in Vietnam



• Metallurgical text work commenced on disseminated
mineralisation



• Competitive input costs based on bulk mining, low cost
hydropower and competitive labour costs



• Mill and concentrator upgrade required for bulk mining scenario



• Nickel Sulfate production via off the shelf pressure oxidation and
Ni-Cu-Co Solvent extraction and crystallization



Source: IGO Limited • Blackstone is participating in a Curtin University collaborative
study for a ground-breaking low cost environmentally benign

Glycine Leach process that could radically reduce development
and processing costs to deliver a Nickel Sulfate product
