  Neometals successfully converts lithium residue into valuable engineered material

  Neometals test-work with CSIRO confirms synthesis of commercial grade zeolite from spodumene leach residue.

  Opportunity to add co-product revenue, reduce waste and improve the lithium hydroxide competitive cost position.

  Technology is the subject of Neometals' Australian Provisional and International patent applications.

  2017 global market for synthetic zeolites (molecular sieves for adsorbents and catalysts) valued at US$13.7B.

  Neometals to demerge Barrambie Titanium / Vanadium Project

  Neometals to demerge Barrambie Titanium - Vanadium Project and associated non-lithium technology assets, subject to shareholder/regulatory approvals and third-party consents.

  Demerger will allow Neometals to focus on developing its fully-integrated lithium business, underpinned by offtake rights to Mt Marion lithium concentrate.

  New ASX-listed entity to focus on initial development of Barrambie as a direct shipping ore operation with continued evaluation of subsequent on-site production of high – purity titanium and vanadium chemicals.

  Neometals shareholders to receive shares in the new entity via an in-specie distribution. Demerger expected to be completed in the March 2019 quarter, subject to approvals and consents.

  Quarterly Activities Report

  INTEGRATED LITHIUM BUSINESS UNIT

  Strong operational performance at Mt Marion mine – 109kt of concentrate produced (~65% of 6% Li2O and 35% of 4% Li2O) with shipments totalling ~95kt (13% increase QoQ). Flotation circuit expansion progressing;

  Neometals Lithium Hydroxide production process validated by vendor test results from run-of-mine spodumene concentrates. High-purity battery quality lithium hydroxide chemical produced;

  German engineers M&W Group engaged to complete Front-End Engineering Design Study for the production of Lithium Hydroxide at a new Lithium Refinery - results will be integrated into a Feasibility Study;

  Option agreement executed with City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder for sub-lease of 40-hectare site for the proposed Kalgoorlie Lithium Refinery;

  Azure Capital engaged to advise on the financing of the Lithium Hydroxide Refinery;

  Completion of Mt Edwards lithium project acquisition (transaction also included nickel rights); and

  Mt Edwards lithium project interim and updated JORC 2012 nickel resource delineated (7.4Mt at 1.7% nickel for 123,340t of contained nickel).

  TITANIUM / VANADIUM AND TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS UNIT

  Preliminary test work in China on core from Barrambie confirms the production of high grade concentrates at excellent recoveries and the conversion to high purity titanium and vanadium slags from traditional process flowsheet;

  Barrambie bulk samples shipped to China for pilot scale metallurgical test-work. Successful completion will determine the value-in-use of Barrambie ores and process flowsheet required to enable development of a Direct Shipping Operation (“DSO”); and

  Primero Group engaged to project manage completion of construction, commissioning and operation of the Battery recycling pilot plant to overcome delays. Plant is nearing completion at expanded scale.

  CORPORATE

  Mt Marion JV shareholder loans repaid with $4m balance from original $8m Neometals loan settled post quarter end;

  Payment of 1 cps unfranked dividend; and

  New senior management appointments strengthen the two Neometals business units.

  Barrambie - Positive Test Work Results

  Receipt of highly encouraging initial Chinese metallurgical results.

  Clean mixed mineral concentrate produced with combined Titanium, Vanadium and Iron levels of >92%.

  Metallurgical processing of mineral concentrate gave recoveries of >90% TiO2 and high recoveries for pig iron and vanadium product streams.

  Results provide strong encouragement that a simple and conventional processing pathway can be developed to extract titanium, vanadium and iron products.

  Supports next stage of Pilot‐scale metallurgical test work.
