MIO Electro Manganese Asset.
The Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) indicates a pre-tax Net Present Value (“NPV”) of CDN$846 million at a 8% discount rate and a pre-tax Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 17.97%, based on a 3,000 tonne per day (“tpd”) open pit mining, hydrometallurgical and electrowinning operation, with a pre-production capital expenditure of CDN$864 million and average annual payable production of approximately 80,000 tonnes of electrolytic manganese metal.
The PEA was completed by Tetra Tech (“Tetra Tech”) and Thibault & Associates Inc. (“Thibault”) and is compliant with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) based on an updated NI 43-101 compliant mineral resources estimate prepared by Mercator

Geological Services (“Mercator”).
The PEA’s base case indicates a long project life of 40 years with operating costs anticipated to be the lowest in the world averaging US$0.64/lb of electrolytic manganese metal (“EMM”) produced over the first 20 years and US$0.68/lb EMM over the life of project.
