Joint Venture with Reward Minerals (Lake Disappointment,
WA) RUM holds around 90%.
First pass environmental surveys completed
Extensive brine sampling in 2010 and 2011 produced
encouraging results
Bench-scale tests confirm schoenite can be produced by two-
stage evaporation
Deep drilling, sampling and flow testing completed 2012 to
upsize potential
New resource of 5,530,000 tonnes K2SO4 announced in
November 2012.

Rum Jungle test pit 2010
RUMs 2010 Sampling • hand-dug holes to geochemically sample brines
• brine chemistry varies considerably within and between lakes
• bench scale tests confirmed that two-stage evaporation can produce
schoenite from at least some of the lake brines
• small test pits for pump tests to check recharge rates
• encouraging over short time frame, need much longer duration tests to
account for seasonal fluctuations

THE WAY FORWARD
Get approval for trenching and then flow test
trenches for 5 days
Drill deeper holes to 50 meters to increase brine
volume and extend resource
Geotechnical testing of soils for evaporation pond
lining (either lake sites or flat lying areas)
Process route testing to prove up final products
and by-products
Commence exploration at Lake hopkins
