Transport - Toll “Hub and Spoke”

Tellus has signed a national Logistics Services and Infrastructure Agreement with Toll

Commercial • Tellus has signed an overarching collaboration agreement and a binding Services and Infrastructure Agreement

Collaboration

• Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) • Transport to-and-from site and on-site support services • Port and Facility Logistics Infrastructure Services • Joint Marketing Services

National footprint

• Toll to supply 8 warehouses – existing licenced and operating dangerous goods & haz. waste handling facilities

• Using a hub and spoke logistical model

Joint Marketing

• Major current supplier to Tellus’ target customer base, which provides significant visibility into the market

Chandler - Proposal need, alternative and benefits - saltSalt demand

Asia consumes 42% of global salt demand. Demand for salt is growing at 3-5 % p.a. Australia produces 13.2 Mt salt p.a. and the largest external supplier

of salt to Asia. Main supply via evaporative solar ponds – effected by extreme

weather events

The salt problem

Asian market concerned about reliable supply of salt. Expected 6 Mt shortfall of salt by 2018. To meet this demand, 47K ha of new solar evaporative facilities

would be required.

The alternatives

Continue with the status quo?

The solution

Extensive investigations have proven millions of tonnes of salt exist in the Chandler Formation.

Mining Chandler Formation could be scaled up to meet Asian demand.

Existing infrastructure is in place and has capacity.

Market size value(A$)(2)

• ~ $14.2 billion(2) Australian waste market• ~ $2.4 billion(4) existing / reported hazardous waste market• ~ 50,000 + jobs, growth sector, recession proof

Sustainability • Australia is one of the highest producers of hazardous waste on a per capitabasis

• Waste is growing at 6x population growth

Waste treatment and disposal options

Landfill (Disposal), 35%

Treatment, 33%

Reuse / Recycling, 24%

Storage, 5%

Sent Overseas, Energy2% Recovery, 1%

Situation: Recover

vs protect

• Regulators and community recognize that med-high hazardous waste should be permanently isolated(ESM)

• Valuable materials should be recovered (circular economy)

• Growth in forecast & legacy waste volumes & complexity• Lack of affordable and environmentally acceptable

infrastructure for difficult to manage wastes• Lack of recycling and recovery solutions (circular economy)• Regulatory & community demands increasing

Problem:

Demand↑

Supply↓

• Can store, recover or permanently isolatewaste• Simple to use, cost effective, global best practicesolutions• Remove customer’s contingent liability

Bankable contracts: Tier I Primary contract (overarching contract) and Tier II Secondary contract (sub contracts)

A bankable contract is a contract with a risk allocation between the Contractor and the Project Company that satisfies the Lenders.

Lenders focus on the ability (or more particularly the lack thereof) of the Contractor to claim additional costs and/or extensions of time as well as the security provided by the Contractor for its performance.

The less comfortable the Lenders are with these provisions, the greater amount of equity support the Sponsors will have to provide.

In addition, Lenders will have to be satisfied as to the technical risk of the technology proposed and the delivery track record of the contractors.

Price is also a consideration, but that is usually considered separately to the bankability of the contract

Chandler - Bankable contracts?
