FUTURE NICKEL DEMAND


Consensus view is that nickel demand will increase significantly by 2030

2019 Electric Vehicles accounted for 3% of total nickel demand
2030 batteries to account for 27% of total nickel demand

MT EDWARDS PROJECT HISTORY


• Discovery - 1967 by INAL - under agreement with WMC


• Mt Edwards 26N underground Mine

• Total of 31,016 Nickel Tonnes Mined across 4 mines 1980 to 2008


• Divested by WMC in 2001 to
Australian Nickel Mines NL


• Consolidated Nickel acquired

Project in 2006

• All exploration stopped in

2008 when the Nickel Price
slashed (GFC)

2018 2020 • Neometals have made

Database Database a concerted effort to
of 9,464 of 11,887 gather data and regain
drillholes drillholes the knowledge


• Re-established a
validated database
(9,464 drill holes,

~36,000 soil samples).

251 holes since

acquisition in 2018.

added since 2018

MT EDWARDS UNDER NEOMETALS



Since acquisition in 2018 Neometals have
executed a 3-stage plan

1. Review and re-estimate massive
nickel sulphides within and near

2. Discover more nickel (proximal to

Mineral Resources and greenfields)



3. Identify “best option” deposits and

prepare for development considering
the projected nickel demand and
related price increase due to EV
sector

REGIONAL EXPLORATION – LAKE EATON


Multiple geophysics surveys at Lake Eaton and Lake Eaton South NW of Mincor’s Cassini

Including: Passive Seismic, Moving Loop EM and UAV (drone) supported Magnetic Surveys









































33

REGIONAL EXPLORATION – LAKE EATON


UAV Magnetics still in development, early results enable improved “picking” of structures

Resolution of magnetic features with UAV magnetics becoming superior than aircraft as:



Drones can carry the
magnetometer much
lower to the ground (15m
to 25m)




No noise from big aircraft




Reduced compensation
for altitude control



UAV detects weak
magnetic anomalies

undetectable with
conventional fixed wing
aircraft
