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 -volume(Mt)
• ~ 53.5 Mt total waste generated~10.3% (5.5 Mtpa) haz.• ~ 900 Mt legacywaste
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
Volume of haz. waste across Australia
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
Tellussolution
Tyres, abattoir effluent, grease trap, sewage, clinical wastes
are not targeted by Tellus

Chandler - The ESM & circular economy solution Tellus’ proposed Chandler Facility can meet environmentally sound management solutions and recover waste for future use

Chandler - Working with Tellus
37
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?
