Introduction

Peak Resources “Ngualla” deposit is located in Tanzania and is one of the highest grade and largest rare earth deposits in the world with capital and operating costs targeted for the lowest quartile

Strong management team with extensive operational and commercial rare earth experience and industry network

Globally strategic deposit: Ngualla a world-class asset, one of the world’s largest and highest grade neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr) deposits an operational mine life of 31 years*, based on just 22%* of the Mineral Resource An easy-to-mine rare earth deposit by low strip ratio open pit with favorable host rock

composition. Outstanding project track record - BFS to be completed late Q1/early Q2 2017

Rapidly expanding market driven by electric vehicle demand growth and alternative energy generation means NdPr demand is expected to double by 2025.

Owning the supply chain with planned refinery investment in UK Strong development partners Appian and IFC

* Production based on the 2016 Weathered Bastnaesite Zone Mineral Resource estimate at +1% REO grade cut and the mining and processing assumptions, details contained in the ASX announcements “Ngualla Study delivers substantial Capex and Opex savings” of 16 March 2016 and “Higher grade Resource for Ngualla nearly 1M tonnes REO” of 22 February 2016. 91% of the Mineral Resource on which the Mining Inventory is based is Measured, 9% Indicated with no Inferred.

NdFeB Permanent Magnets

Peak’s value drivers are Neodymium and Praseodymium at 85% of future revenue*

Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr) are required to produce NdFeB permanent magnets

NdFeB (Neodymium, Iron and Boron Magnet) is the strongestpermanent magnet commercially available

~10 times more powerful, and 3 times lighter than traditional ferric magnet alternatives. Superior performance under a wider range of operating conditions, allowing effective miniaturisation and production of compact, lightweight, and more efficient motors

NdFeB permanent magnet technology is one of the key enablers for the fast growing Green energy and E-mobility sector

They form the basis for the traction motors used in 90% of todays leading Battery and Hybrid Electric Vehicles

CAGR: 2000 - 2015 = 24%

Source: Global EV outlook 2016 OECD/IEA 2016 Note: above numbers do no include Hybrid sales figures

CAGR: 2010 - 2015 = 179%

Evolution of the global electric car stock 2010-2015

Global cumulative installed wind capacity 2000-2015

Triggered by… More demanding global emission standards and general

stricter legislation for environmentally un-friendly technologies, and an increasing consciousness of the need for green technologies in our society

50% of future demand growth underpinned by existing government policies including COP21 – The Paris Summit, Made in China 2015, Energy 2020 (Europe) and Kigali 2016.

Translating to … A growing demand for more environmental, sustainable

green energy sources and more high-end efficient technologies that provide light weight solutions for sustainable green mobility

Materializing in 2 specific Megatrends…1. Wind turbines and alternative energy sector2. E-cars, hybrid vehicles & E-bikes and in the automotive

China’s 13th 5 Year PlanIn October 2016, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released it’s Rare Earth Industry

Development Plan which aims to restrict rare earth production, refining and raw mineral exports.

Key targets set to be achieved by 2020 include;

China’s total annual rare earth mining output to be restricted to no more than 140,000 tpa REO No new mining rights to be issued to companies other than the selected Six State Owned Enterprises Total China solvent extraction refining capacity to be cut by 33% to 200,000 tpa REO (from 300,000 tpa

REO in 2015) Rare earth industry profit margins to be increased to 12 percent High end downstream rare earth product market penetration to be increased from 25% to 50% Environmental compliance to be increased from 40% to 90% for rare earth operations Export of primary rare earth raw materials to be reduced from 57% to 30% of total Chinese rare earth

production

Combined with increasing demand for the magnet metals, these internal China policies and the targetedexpansion of high value downstream industry applications, China may well become a net importer of NdPrby 2025.A component of China’s 5 Year Plan is to encourage the use and development of offshore rare earthresources and strengthen international co-operation.

The Investment Proposition

Peak Resources has a world class asset representing an excellent opportunity for exposure to the anticipated uptrend in the rare earth sector which is fueled by high expected growth in the green energy and mobility sector

We can see that the industry consolidation in China is progressing. In 2016 the majority of the state owned enterprises reported losses at current market prices. Therefore, it is anticipated that the combination of the Chinese government further increasing their efforts to reduce illegal mining and the continuing uptrend on the demand side will produce a misbalance in supply-demand what should result in a price recovery in the midterm.Peak Resources is perfectly positioned to become a competitive and sustainable long term supplier. The Ngualla project ticks all the right boxes with a 31 year operational life. Peak Resources aims to be one of the lowest cost quartile players in the Industry and will soon finish its extensive Bankable Feasibility Study with a focus on the strongest growing rare earth market segment.

Classification of Mineral Resources for All Ngualla Resources at a 1.0% REO cut off grade

# The weathered Bastnaesite Zone Mineral Resource >=1% REO is contained within and is a subset of the total All Resources Ngualla Mineral Resources >=1% REO.* REO (%) includes all the lanthanide elements plus yttrium oxides. Figures above may not sum precisely due to rounding. The number of significant figures does not imply an added level of precision. See ASX announcement “Higher grade Resource for Ngualla nearly 1M tonnes REO” of 22 February 2016 for further detailsThe information in this statement that relates to the Mineral Resource Estimates is based on work conducted by Rod Brown of SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd, and the work conducted by Peak Resources, which SRK has reviewed.
