  3. Business Overview Zinc rich steel industry waste (EAFD) Free ZincOx Recycling Plant Iron bearing product  Sold to Steel Mills (10% Revenue) • Zinc bearing product Sold to Zinc Smelters (90% Revenue) Game Changing Technology Global Roll-outs planned First Plant in S. Korea Production ramping up

  4. Corporate Overview History95% of zinc comes from sulphide ore depositsZincOx set up (1998) to develop non-sulphide zinc minesEach one different – bespoke solutionExceptional technical team, >128 years of zinc experience Technology driven but not technology providerTrack record in development of game changing technology Modify existing technology, not “black box” Objective: To become the largest and most sustainable zinc recycler StatusHQ in Surrey (7 - strategy, finance, etc)Technical support in Belgium (12 - technical and development)Regional offices: USA (5), Thailand (2), Korea (5578) AiM quoted 113 million shares (fully diluted)

  5. FEED - Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD) Steel produced by: 1. Reduction of iron ore in Blast Furnaces (e.g.Posco) 2. Recycling scrap in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) Electric Arc Furnaces generate waste Dust (EAFD) Scrap contains steel that is increasingly galvanised (zinc coated) During iron melting zinc is driven off into the EAFD as an oxide Dust contains: zinc: 18-24% (average mine: 5-6% zinc) iron: 26-30% cadmium, lead: <2% (harmful elements = Hazardous Waste) Korea, strictly controlled  landfill (disposal fee)

  6. TECHNOLOGY – Rotary Hearth Furnace (RHF) Based on established (“iron making”) technology modified to optimise for zinc recovery and energy efficiency • Unlike existing processes • It produces no waste • Has more product revenue Double Breakthrough  Environmentally superior  Economically superior (no subsidy required)

  7. RHF – Feed & Products Zinc Smelter HZO Zinc Concentrate 58% zinc + lead + salts Briquettes EAFD (83%) coal (14%) binder (3%) heat gas 27 meters NO WASTE RHF 1,300oC solid ZHBI Iron Product 50% iron 50% slag EAFD Electric Arc Furnace

  8. KRP Korean Recycling Plant

  9. Korean Scrap recycling No. 2 scrap importer No. 1 concentration of scrap recyclingSteady growth

South Korean Recycling Project Until ZincOx, EAFD has been landfilled ZincOx Supply Agreement10 year contracts with all steel recyclers400,000 tpa EAFD @ 23.1% zinc EAFD only paid for at high zinc price Transport paid by mills at low zinc prices Strong SupportKorea Iron and Steel Association Zinc Industry Government Foreign Investment Zone StatusYears 1-5, tax free (Years 6-7, 11% tax)Tax free import of capital goods Site LeaseGovernment purchase site, US$ 20 million50 year renewable lease, 5 years rent free 100 km KRP92,000 tpa zinc in conc 100,000 tpa Fe in ZHBI Korea Zinc smelter 600,000t zinc in concimported per annum Scrap Recycling Plants ( EAFD generation) 101

  21. Global Roll-Out

  22. Global Opportunity 1/3 of steel produced by recycling scrap EAFD contains zinc, 18-24% (average mine: 5-6% zinc, underground) >6,000,000 tonnes of EAFD produced annually from about 1,000 sites =1.3 MMt Zn pa (zinc production 12 MMt pa) Contains Cd, Pb Hazardous  Landfill or Recycling. Current technology: less profitable generates waste (no iron product)  needs subsidy (>US$80/t?) Developed countries, landfill expensive  mostly recycled Developing countries, landfill cheap  landfilled 50% of EAFD  landfill (2008) ZincOx’s “game changing” technology works without subsidy. Transforms waste into a resource

  23. Target Regions 200/300 400/400 200/1500 200/1200 200/350 200/400 200/200 200/400 Target RegionsKtpa RHF potential/EAFD prodn. Advanced Other New 51% JV

  28. Summary • Focused on Korean Recycling Plant • 400,000 tpa EAFD 10 year supply agreed (23.1% zinc) • Phase 1 • to produce 76,000tpa zinc oxide concentrateRamping up from May 2012 • Full year EBITDA US$31 million pa (zinc = US$2,500/t) • Phase 1+2 • to produce 152,000 tonnes of zinc oxide concentrate Q2 2014 • EBITDA US$53 million per annum (zinc = US$2,500/t) • Excellent Additional Growth Potential • Plans to “roll out” concept in other countries • Using today’s technology to make yesterday’s waste into tomorrow’s resource
