Tajiri Resources comprise a series of higher-grade mineral sands deposits stretching along 30kms of Tanzanian coastline, including T1, T2, T3, T4, TC, Tajiri North and Vumbi deposits

- Tajiri JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 268Mt @ 3.3% THM
- Tajiri Resources have been defined through a series of air core drilling campaigns
- All resources start from surface, with no overburden and contain large coherent higher-grade domains comprising mostly high-value titanium-dominated mineral assemblage, with elevated zones of zircon and almandine garnet
- Contained Heavy Mineral (HM) content is 8.8Mt, with in-situ rutile (580,000t), zircon (335,000t), ilmenite (5,206,000t) and almandine garnet (1,477,000t)
- The MRE was managed by IHC Robbins’ Greg Jones, a specialist consultant in mineral sands resources, metallurgy and processing technology (refer to Competent Person statement)
- The Tajiri MRE is likely to continue to grow over time with high grade resources remaining open

Two types of heavy mineral placer style deposits are possible in Tanzania
1. Thin but high grade strandlines which may be related to marine or fluvial influences
2. Large but lower grade deposits related to windblown sands The coastline of Tanzania is not well known for massive dunal systems such as those developed in Mozambique, however some dunes are known to occur and cannot be discounted as an exploration model. Palaeo strandlines are mor ........

Conventional shallow open pit mining, in free-dig sand using hydraulic mining units, with in pit tailings deposition and progressive backfill and rehabilitation

- Seeds will be collected from vegetation across the orebody prior to the vegetation being removed by heavy mobile equipment. Collected seeds will be used during mine rehabilitation

- Topsoil and subsoil material will be stripped by dozer or scraper and will be either placed in stockpiles in the vicinity of the pit or placed directly on top of recontoured tails areas. Both topsoil and subsoil will be managed to minimize stockpile duration

- Hydraulic mining units (HMUs) will be located in two positions in the deposit capable of mining 4Mtpa of ore per unit (to achieve an average total 8Mtpa). The HMUs are designed to blast the mining face directly with high pressure jets of water to create an ore slurry. At each station, there will be three monitors; two operating and one on standby or being relocated to a new position for advancement as previous positions are exhausted

- The monitored ore slurry will transfer through trenches at ~50% solids to a static grizzly screen to prevent rocks and root matter from entering the pumping system. The undersize from the screen will flow into a sump that contains a submersed pump. This will transfer the slurry to a vibrating screen to remove +2.5mm material and the undersize pumped to the wet concentrator plant (WCP)
