11 Vanadium Price Structural Changes Or Temporary? US$/t Russia s vanadium material disappeared, the market price moved up and thereafter Russia restarted production Advent of grade 3 rebar in China The new standard forced Chinese rebar producers to start using vanadium (grade 3) for high strength rebar applications Problems with production of electrical power and resulting load shedding in South Africa negatively impacted vanadium production leading to the 2008 price spike Highveld Steel & Vanadium stops production Constrained supply, with short term reductions and limited new supply prospects + Robust and growing demand from steel sector with significant upside from energy storage application uses A sustained structural market A sustained structural deficit, with significant price market deficit, with upside significant price upside Source: Metal Bulletin, TTP Squared 11

12 Concentrated Supply SALT ROAST FLOWSHEET (14% of Global Vanadium Feedstock Production) Vanadium feedstock production by source 12% 74% 14% Three key steps: Salt roasting of magnetite concentrate with sodium salts at ~1,200 o C to form water soluble sodium vanadate material Leaching, filtration, desilication, precipitation followed by reaction to form vanadium pentoxide/trioxide Vanadium pentoxide/trioxide is converted into FeV or NV or other vanadium end products Grade a key barrier to entry Three active primary producers two in SA and one in Brazil Primary driver of economics = VANADIUM Financing remains a challenge even for primary greenfield projects STEEL PLANT CO-PRODUCTION FLOWSHEET (74% of Global Vanadium Feedstock Production) Primary Co-production Secondary Source: Bushveld Minerals analysis Magnetite concentrate is smelted in a blast furnace/eaf TiO 2 is extracted as a slag, while vanadium reports with hot metal Vanadium extracted as a slag through controlled reoxidation of hot metal, which is further processed into pig-iron/ steel Vanadium slag, with elevated vanadium grade, is processed through primary vanadium extraction (salt roast flowsheet) Primary of economics = STEEL & IRON ORE Capex = key barrier to entry is capex 5x as much capex as primary production Concentrated in China and Russia 93% of V production in China, 200% of V production in Russia Process produces a V slag further processed into vanadium through primary V process 12

13 Concentrated Supply 1 2 High input costs High operating costs Low Fe grade <30% deposits, require concentrating to ~60% Fe Higher input costs than steel plants processing haematite ores Complex steel plant design Inferior Fe grade Additional processing steps to remove Ti and V Three response options: Switch to haematite ores to blend and upgrade magnetite feed Curtail Stop production (e.g. Highveld) 3 No leverage on steel prices Such plants make up small share of steel production too small to influence steel prices Improved margins from cheaper seaborne iron ore not available 4 Environmental constraints Being mostly co-producer steel plants, their environmental footprint is negative In the firing line of the Central Governments crackdown on pollution Significant reduction in V supply and limited scope for new production from coproducers Source: Bushveld Minerals analysis, Roskill, TTP Squared 13
