ATTACHMENT 3: PROPOSED ACTIVITIES

3B.1 - PROJECT OVERVIEW Australian Titanium Pty Ltd (Australian Titanium), a wholly owned subsidiary of Neometals Limited, proposes to develop the Barrambie Vanadium and Titanium Project (the Project) located in the Mid-West region of Western Australia. The Project is located approximately 75 kilometres (km) northwest of Sandstone and 730 km northeast of Perth. The Port of Geraldton is located approximately 475 km to the west-south-west. The Project is located adjacent to the Sandstone – Meekatharra Road on granted Mining Lease (M57/173) and Miscellaneous Licenses (L57/30 and L20/55), all of which are held by Australian Titanium.

Australian Titanium proposes to construct and operate a mobile crushing facility (MCF) at the Project on mining tenement M57/173 (Figure 1). The MCF, with an annual capacity of 1.2 Mtpa at 10 mm output will be sourced from a contractor until an onsite beneficiation plant has been constructed (pending future approvals under the Mining Act). The crusher will consist of the following work fleet:

1. 2 x CAT 988 Wheel loaders; and2. Mobile Crushing Facility.

The MCF will be located on M57/173 (Figure 2) and will not move once constructed.

The life of the project is expected to be 2-3 years.

The Sandstone – Meekatharra Road is located adjacent to the mining area and provides public road access directly to M57/173 (Figure 1)

3B.2 - SCOPE OF PROPOSED ACTIVITIES The Project will be classified as a Prescribed Premises under Category 12 (Screening, etc of material) of Schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987.

3B.3 - PROCESS OVERVIEW The components of each of the MCF included in this application are:

• Feed rock stockpile;• A mobile crushing facility with a capacity of 1,200,000 tpa.• Jaw and cone crushers and ,tertiary screens; and• Crushed rock stockpiles.

Indicative design plans for the MCF are shown in Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5.

Construction

The site will be graded to ensure that all stormwater, wash-down and spillage water run-off is contained and directed to a collection and settling sump.

The stages of construction for the MCF will occur in the sequence described below: • Site preparation, access tracks and earthwork for the MCF site area;• Relocation of excess material to laydown areas;• Mobilisation of MCF - arrives on flat-bed trucks;• Completion of installation and connection of MCF sections; and• Connection to power and water supply, electrical instrumentation works.

Operation

Material will be hauled to the location of the MCF, where it will be fed directly to the crusher or, alternatively, placed onto the feed stockpile from where it will be subsequently recovered and fed to the crusher.

All suitable screened material will be crushed and screened. The final product will either be loaded on to trucks directly from the MCF or stockpiled for later transport.

Power Supply

Power will be supplied by individual diesel gensets located on site. All gensets will be self-bunded to ensure that any potential spills are contained. Gensets will be refuelled by a dedicated service vehicle that is equipped with a spill kit. This service vehicle will also be used for servicing of the MCF.

Water Supply

All water required for the MCF will sourced from the Project borefield in accordance with the Projects license to take water (GWL201886(1)).

ATTACHMENT 6A: EMISSIONS AND DISCHARGES Table 1 details all potential emissions and discharges from these Prescribed Premises.

Table 1: Potential emissions and discharges from the Prescribed Premises

Source of emission or discharge Volume and frequency Proposed Controls

Noise

The MCF has the potential to produce noise and vibration due to activities associated with the process, and motors used to drive the MCF.

Exact noise emissions are unable to be quantified however they are not expected to be excessive outside the immediate work area. Noise will not impact receptors as the nearest receptor is 12 km from the premises.

Management: • Noise emissions during construction and operation will be

managed in accordance with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997.

• Barriers will be installed around motors which will act as noise barriers; and

• Equipment will be regularly serviced and maintained. Monitoring: • Australian Titanium will maintain an incident reporting system to

assist in managing environmental incidents such as excessivenoise emissions; and

• Noise complaints will be investigated and issues remedied if required.

Contaminated or potentially contaminated stormwater There are no planned emissions associated with the Project. The unintentional contamination of stormwater may occur as a result of: • Leaks or spillages

of hydrocarbonsor chemicals; or

• Sediment runofffrom stockpiles or cleared areas.

Unintentional discharge only. Hydrocarbons and chemicals are not stored on site in large quantities. Sediment management will occur as part of the whole site, with drainage reporting to the quarry floor or sediment traps

Management: • Containing and appropriately treating potentially contaminated

stormwater prior to disposal;• The site will be graded to ensure that all stormwater, wash-down

and spillage water run-off is either directed to a low point withinthe quarry, or a collection and settling sump from where it can berecycled for dust suppression purposes;

• Perimeter bunding will be installed if required to minimisestormwater entering the site; and

• Runoff from stockpiles diverted to sediment basins or a low pointwithin the quarry.

Monitoring: • Australian Titanium will maintain an incident reporting system to

assist in managing environmental incidents such as contaminatedstormwater;

• Hydrocarbon and chemical storage areas will be inspected on a regular basis;

• Sediment sumps will be inspected on a regular basis and excavatedif required to maintain capacity; and

• Spill kits will be inspected on a regular basis and replenished asrequired.

Dust There is the potential for dust emissions from the MCF. Emissions are associated with the stockpiles, the transfer of material from the stockpile to the grizzly hopper, the crusher, the fines product

Exact dust emissions are unable to be quantified however they are not expected to be excessive outside the immediate work area. Dust will not impact receptors as the nearest receptor is 12 km from the premises.

Management: • Dust suppression will be used during the crushing and screening

process. Dust suppression consists of sprinklers on crushers andscreens and shields and covers on conveyors and transfer points;

• Water suppression will be applied on stockpiles, hardstand areas, bare areas and access roads; and

• Speed limits on haul roads.

screen and product handling. The potential impacts associated with the emissions of dust include: • Potential health

impacts to workers exposed to high dust levels;

• Loss of amenity in dust affected areas; and

• Physical impacts on the health of vegetation and fauna habitat from ‘smothering’.

Monitoring: • Opportunistic inspections for dust emissions will be undertaken

during construction and operation of the Australian Titanium to ensure dust control measures are being implemented and are effective;

• If visible dust emissions are noted then an assessment of the source will be made and additional water will be applied to key source areas, or alternative treatments applied;

• The potential for high risk weather conditions for dust emissions (i.e. windy conditions) will be monitored and extra water applied in preparation; and

• Australian Titanium will maintain an incident reporting system to assist in managing environmental incidents such as excessive dust emissions.
