Current & former in-country mining producers (gold, diamonds, uranium, copper and industrial metals)

+120 year mining history

STABLE & MINING FRIENDLY

  • Stable democracy, independent judiciary, diverse economy

  • Transparent system of mineral & surface title

  • Strong political and social support of mining with stated ambitions to develop mineral resources

    EXCELLENT INFRASTRUCTURE

  • Excellent physical & social infrastructure

  • Within 20km's of essential utilities, roads, grid power, water supply & well-serviced towns

    WELL-ESTABLISHED MINING INDUSTRY

  • Major revenue earner & employer

  • Stable tax code and fair fiscal terms









  • N$ sovereign bonds trading at 8.3% YTM, comparing well to other favorable mining development jurisdictions such as Botswana (10.2%), Mexico (7.8%), and Brazil (9.7%) for similar maturities







  • Haib is a large, world-class, advanced open-pit Cu/Mo porphyry deposit with a long history of exploration & project development

  • One of a few Paleoproterozoic porphyry copper

    deposit in the world (two in Namibia).

    Excellent pedigree (Falconbridge, Rio Tinto, Teck) with a long history of exploration & project advancement



  • Due to its age (1.9Ga), multiple metamorphic and deformation events, but classic mineralization and alteration features typical of these deposits remain.

  • Mainly chalcopyrite with minor bornite and chalcocite present

  • Comparable size & grade projects in younger belts; Pebble (Alaska), Warintza (Ecuador). Tier 1 examples often have significant supergene enrichment; Escondida (Chile)

Upside Potential

  1. Inclusion of all historical drilling since Oct 2024

  2. Improved geological & structural modelling

  3. Estimation of Mo & Au byproducts (after consistent MRE-wide by-product assaying)

  4. Higher grade domains

  5. Significant additional tonnage with potential drop in cut-off grade



Approximate Future Open Pit Outline



  1. Right-size & Optimize:
    • Complete met testwork, demonstrate techno-economic feasibility of conventional sulfide flotation process

    • Investigate viable, novel processing techniques to enhance process flowsheet

    • Deliver PEA (Q3 24) & Interim MRE Update (Q1 2026)

    • Enhanced PFS (Q4 2026)

  2. Further De-risk & Permit:
    • Establish strong social license (national, regional, local)

    • Enhanced infrastructure & utility trade-off studies (water, power, transport)

    • Complete major permitting (environmental & mine permitting)

  3. Deliver Additional Upside:
    • Improve MRE size and grade (Mo/Au by-products, high grade shoots, low grade halo)

    • Evaluate low grade processing options (conventional mill/float + sorting vs. heap leach options)



    • Demonstrate effectiveness of ore sorting, coarse particle flotation (CPF) & heap leach trade-offs

      Best-in-class specialist mining & engineering consultants, directed by proven & highly competent in-house technical team with a fifteen (15) year track record of successful Namibian mine development and project exits.



      • Large Scale and De-risked

      • 28mtpa conventional Milling & Flotation (>0.225% Cu) + 7mtpa Heap Leach (>0.15% Cu)

      • Conventional open pit with 1.8 stripping ratio

      • PEA based on historical MRE, with significant future upside (pending completion of 55,000m drill program)

      Grid Power

      • Application for NamPower to conduct a capacity assessment to connect to the 220kV line 45km from the plant site

      • 150MW power demand sufficient grid power available from SA grid via Namibia
      • PV, wind power assessment underway

        Water Supply

      • 20m m3 pa water demand for a 20mtpa plant. Various supply scenarios:
      • Orange river source: (9km) plus on- site water storage in attenuation dams - capacity for up to 6 month's water storage
      • Neckartal dam alternative: (230km pipeline) backup / growth option being advanced


  • C$40m work program (55,000m of drilling, MRE Update, PFS, Technical Studies)

  • Aiming to deliver a de-risked, significantly upsized PFS in 2026, with financing, permitting, DFS to be completed in 2027

    Developing a sustainability plan and implementation roadmap

    2025

    2026



    That is materiality-driven and considers compliance, risk, stakeholder and investor expectations, best practices and business strategy

    • Develop responsible mining implementation roadmap

    • Define Koryx's responsible mining narrative

    • Map and engage community stakeholders

    • Develop local content plan (employment, supply, economic development)

    • Ensure environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance and high occupational health & safety standards

      Guiding frameworks and standards





    • Continue embedding sustainability practices and improve sustainability performance

    • Publish inaugural sustainability report



  • Under the current mining fiscal regime Namibia captures ~67% of revenues

  • ~20% of overall returns accrue to the capital providers (investors)

  • The remaining ~13% of revenues is consumed by foreign operating and capital costs to develop & run the mine
