SepFluor Limited (“SepFluor” or the “Company”)Key Investment Highlights
SepFluor is building asustainable, world-class vertically-integrated fluorochemicals company in South Africa Phase I plans for steady state
production of c.280,000 tpaacidspar, 57,000 tpa metspar, 60,000 tpa AHF,216,000 CaSO4 and 60,000tpa AIF3
SepFluor is looking to introduce a strategic or financial partner to take theCompany throughconstruction in order to become one of the worlds lowest cost producers SepFluor would therefore
like to discuss with you the Company’s financingstrategy to potentially explore opportunities of working together to build asustainable and profitableworld-class vertically-integrated fluorspar company
1 Strong market fundamentals
Calcium fluoride (“CaF2“) is a critical commodity for all industrializednations Included in the USA’s top 5 and the European Union’s list of 14
most critical minerals Global fluorspar market valued at c. USD 2.0 billion p.a. and global
downstream market worth c. USD 120 billion p.a.
3 Low cost producer
SepFluor will be one of the world’s lowest cost fluorspar andfluorochemical producers due to Access to high-grade fluorspar resources; Open-pit mines that are easier to mine; Close proximity of mine to chemical plant; and Latest technology
4 Vertically-integrated strategy a key differentiator
Increase in market prices as one goes deeper into fluorochemical processing is significant
Off a low cost base, SepFluor will in due course be able to operate in the full fluorochemical value chain
Strong support from the South African government for the development of local beneficiation
2 World class mineral deposit
SepFluor is developing the world class Nokeng fluorspar mine, Wallmannsthal exploration project and the Ekandustria fluorochemical beneficiation plant (SepChem )
20Mt of SAMREC-compliant fluorspar resource containing in excess of 7.5Mt of fluorspar (CaF2) with potential for resources to more than double in the next few years
Key Investment Highlights2.

The fluorspar economyFluorspar value chain
Fluorspar, also known asfluorite, is a mineralcomposed of CaF2
Fluorspar deposits are generally categorized by CaF2 content, as one of metallurgical grade (60–85%), ceramic grade (85–96%) or acid grade (97%+)
Fluorspar is the dominant source for the chemical element fluorine, and due to fluorine’s extreme chemicalproperties, fluorine is largely irreplaceable in its use
Fluorspar is mainly used for the production of hydrofluoric acid and aluminum fluoride Used as a flux in
steelmaking, in iron andsteel casting, primary aluminum production, glassmanufacture and cement production, as well as inproducing lubricants, refrigerants and cookware
The fluorspar market, including its downstreamapplications, is worth USD120bn
What is fluorspar?
SepFluor primarily produces acidspar, which has the highest grade and has the highest indirect use in downstream industry

Forecast fluorspar supply from new mines2012 – 2020 (‘000t)
material, fluorspar Movement being aggressively
led by China Resulted in a dramatic
increase in fluorspar prices driven by tightening supply
China is under pressure toconsume locally anddecrease exports South Africa’s fluorspar
sector is set to benefit fromthis shift
South Africa is blessed with large, rich and diversedeposits of fluorspar Positioning itself to increase
beneficiation within the country to serve the rapidly growing local and regional markets, and for export purposes
Excess demand is expected despite the new mines that will be coming on-streambetween 2014 and 2020

South Africa is set to be the world’s premium fluorspar provider
Chinese producers havehistorically been thedominant force in the global fluorspar sector
SA has 17% of the world’s fluorspar reserves, while China has 10% However SA was only the
world's 4th largest producer in2012, at 180,000t, comparedwith China's 4.3Mt production
Since 2004, Chinese costs of fluorspar production haverisen 800% Chinese fluorspar prices are
unlikely to drop belowUSD300/t, which sets a floor for the global market
SepFluor’s fluorsparproduction costs are lessthan half of China's, makingSepFluor a sustainably lowcost producer

South Africa is strategically positioned to take advantageof the global fluorspar andrelated products trade as aresult of its close proximity to global markets
Currently, 95% of SouthAfrican acidspar is exported Although South Africa
supplies 5% of the fluoridesource for the USD120bnfluorochemical industry, its currently earning less than0.5% of the value
There is currently no AlF3production in South Africa

A look through historySepFluor’s growth story similar to MexichemFluor’s
South Africa to replicate MexichemFluor and benefit from China’s retreat
SepFluor is set to benefit from MexichemFluor’s strugglesand China’s internal focus China’s fluorspar is for
internal consumption
Mexican fluorspar often has high quantities of arsenic
South Africa’s fluorsparmarket is expected to be supported by continuingdemand from emergingeconomies and decreasingsupply form China continuesto elevate prices
4
2005 MexichemFluor picks up
slack and increases production to 970,000 amt –but costs and quality issues arise
MexichemFluor experiences greater arsenic issues –MexichemFluor opens second mine, sells two qualities (acid and metspar)
1970s -1980s China enters fluorspar
market Low cost fluorspar
makes mines worldwide non-competitive (majors divest)
Chinese costs set floor for all new mine development
1980s-1990s Quimica de Mexico
becomes MexichemFluor Low cost of fluorspar from
China rises to meet low-cost of fluorspar from Mexico
The world faces China Inc. and MexichemFluor as the two controlling fluorspar producers
2006 Sallies and Honeywell go to
court over bad contract and poor mining practices drive costs up
Early 2000s Chinese push
beneficiation, higher wages, higher yuan, consolidation –acidspar exports discouraged
SepFluor set to take over the mantle from China and, more recently MexichemFluor in the global fluorsparsector
2008-2014 Chinese exports decline from
1.3Mt to 0.2Mt – export cost>USD300/mt FOB China
Chinese government orders mineconsolidation with downstream beneficiators – free loans to buyers
MexichemFluor announces cost pressures, but very optimistic price rises to USD500/mt FOB Tampico
New mines in North America need USD600 acidspar prices to be economic
NOW! Leverages off favourable logistics, low cost
resource and state of the art fluorochemicaltechnology to expand rapidly
