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
