Slide 1: Ten reasons why Archer Graphite is a compelling business opportunity
For personal use only ARCHER GRAPHITE Ten reasons why Archer Graphite is a compelling business opportunity IM Events Graphite & Graphene Conference New York 25-26 November 2013 Gerard Anderson Managing Director Archer Exploration Limited 1
Slide 2: Disclaimer
Disclaimer Competent persons statement For personal use only The exploration results reported herein, insofar as they relate to mineralisation, are based on information compiled by Mr Wade Bollenhagen, Exploration Manager of Archer Exploration Limited. Mr Bollenhagen is a Member of the Australasian
Slide 3: Archer Graphite - the setting
For personal use only Archer Graphite - the setting Substantial land position (1,100km2) in graphite province. Two main deposits – Campoona and Sugarloaf plus several nearby flake occurrences. 3
Slide 4: 1. Geology
Reason 1. Geology Graphite outcrops. 10-50m thick highly graphitic schist. For personal use only Deep complete oxidation. • Upper Claystone - ≈5m thick clay-rich highly graphitic zone of graphite + kaolin + quartz • Upper BOCO - porous graphite + quartz + kaolin + tourmaline ± garnet ± iron ox
Slide 5: 2. Grade
Reason 2. Grade Grade on its own gives no insight into a graphite deposit’s commerciality. For personal use only Grade does however give a reasonable insight as to likely mining and milling costs that a deposit will have to carry. Archer Graphite’s Campoona deposit has a JORC Resource grade of
Slide 6: 3. Outstanding liberation
Reason 3. Outstanding liberation Prolonged intense lateritic weathering has resulted in high natural liberation of graphite from clay + quartz ± tourmaline ± garnet ± muscovite gangue. For personal use only Typical high purity Campoona graphite concentrate prior to re-cleaning. Outstanding natural
Slide 7: 4. Recovery
Reason 4. Recovery Recoveries through all three Campoona geological horizons ≥90%. For personal use only All ore horizons can be processed using the same method and equipment. Rigorous bench-scale testing has defined key processing parameters. Bulk flotation tests emulate bench-scale results
Slide 8: 5. High purity, high value products
Reason 5. High purity, high value products Stylised Graphite Price (US$/t) vs Grade Curve For personal use only $40,000 $30,000 Graphite Price (US$/t) Archer’s expected product range $20,000 $10,000 $0 80% 85% 90% 95% 97% 99% 99.50% 99.95% “Prices for flake graphite of 99.0% and higher in particle s
Slide 9: 6. Repeatability
Reason 6. Repeatability Rigorous bench-scale metallurgical testing undertaken For personal use only 35 bench scale tests completed on samples across the length, breadth and depth of the deposit. High purity graphite concentrate repeatable for all three geologic horizons representing the uppermos

Slide 16: 8. Exploration
Reason 8. Exploration Airborne EM and reconnaissance drilling has identified strike For personal use only extensions and fold repetitions of the target graphitic schist <2% of 1,100km2 tenure explored to date. EM identified several possible graphite bodies along strike from the known graphite oc
Slide 17: 9. Land
Reason 9. Land Campoona Shaft and Sugarloaf both occur on freehold pastoral land. For personal use only Archer owns Sugarloaf (1,403 acres) and has binding HoA over sufficient land at Campoona Shaft for mining to proceed. Early land purchases has secured access and mitigated land risk associat
Slide 18: 10. AAA Mining jurisdiction
Reason 10. AAA Mining jurisdiction Australia is a stable democracy with robust and transparent laws governing For personal use only mineral ownership, mineral exploration and mining. All Minerals are vested in the Crown. Mineral Title covers all Minerals. All States have longstanding Mining Le

Fully funded work plan Campoona Shaft Drilling Resource Drilling For personal use only Exploration & Central Campoona Drilling Metallurgical Characterisation Resource Estimation Campoona Shaft Resource Estimation Campoona Central Environmental Baseline Studies Marketing Studies Community Consultatio
Slide 20: Archer Graphite's comparative advantages
Archer Graphite’s comparative advantages Quality: Expect base product ≥98% C. Purification remains untested beyond basic re-cleaning. For personal use only Recovery: Excellent recoveries for all geologic horizons. Grade: 12.3%C places Campoona in the upper quartile of emerging graphite project
