PEAK RESOURCES: NUMBER 1 AMONGST ITS PEERS 2 ENABLING LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGIES Quarterly Activities Report March 2017 BANKABLE FEASIBILITY STUDY Post Quarter end, on 12 April 2017, the Company was pleased to report the results of the Bankable Feasibility Study for its 75% owned Ngualla Rare Earth Project. The Study components consist of a mine and multi-stage processing plant on-site at Ngualla in Tanzania and a proposed refinery in Tees Valley in the UK. The BFS is based on detailed engineering studies and extensive pilot planting of the three stage extraction process which was successfully demonstrated using bulk samples of Ngualla’s unique bastnaesite mineralisation. The in depth Study was also guided by real world experience of Peak’s team of rare earth industry mining, processing and marketing specialists in conjunction with global engineering firm Amec Foster Wheeler. The BFS has delivered significant reductions in operating costs and facilitated access to higher value markets as compared to the Company’s project update ASX announcement “Ngualla Project Study delivers substantial Capex and Opex savings” dated 16 March 2016. The results of the BFS confirm that the Ngualla Project has the potential to become one of the lowest cost and highest quality rare earth projects worldwide.

The location of the refinery in proximity to sources of inexpensive bulk reagents and existing utilities is also a key driver of lower Opex. With the alignment of products and value drivers to the high demand magnet metal market the project is in a favourable position in terms of marketing and future demand for its products, which will represent less than 5% of total world demand.

  • High Grade Fluorite Mineralisation Discovered at Ngualla
    1st February 2017 High grade fluorite mineralisation discovered at Ngualla Peak Resources Limited (“Peak”; ASX Code: PEK) is pleased to report the discovery of high grade fluorite and a new area of rare earth mineralisation at its Ngualla Rare Earth Project in Tanzania. Highlights: . Outcropping high grade (up to 96%) fluorite mineralisation identified from reconnaissance rock sampling and geological mapping . Fluorite mineralisation occurs within a zone of brecciation that can be traced over a strike length of 3.8km within the alteration zone surrounding the Ngualla Carbonatite . New occurrences of rare earth mineralisation were identified within the same zone. Rock grab samples returned assays up to 4.54% rare earth oxide (REO) . The discovery reinforces the multi commodity endowment of the Ngualla Carbonatite and the potential for supplementary value add products for a future rare earth operation at Ngualla . Rare Earths remain the Company’s focus and value driver, with the Bankable Feasibility Study for the Ngualla Rare Earth Project on schedule for completion late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2017 With the Rare Earth Bankable Feasibility Study nearing completion, the Company continues to assess the potential for additional economic minerals within the Ngualla Carbonatite. Recent field programs in the previously unexplored alteration zone that forms a ring of hills around the carbonatite have identified zones of high grade fluorite mineralisation as well as new occurrences of rare earth mineralisation. Early stage reconnaissance rock sampling and geological mapping has identified a 3.8km long, largely soil covered, zone of brecciation and carbonatite dykes containing fluorite and rare earth mineralisation that warrants further evaluation.

  • BFS Positions Ngualla As One of the World's Lowest Cost Rare Earth
    ASX Announcement 12 April 2017 BFS positions Ngualla as one of the world’s lowest cost rare earth projects Peak Resources Limited (ASX: PEK) (“Peak” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the results of its Bankable Feasibility Study (the “Study” or “BFS”) on the Ngualla Rare Earth Project (located in Tanzania) and proposed refinery in Tees Valley (located in the UK). The BFS has delivered further significant reductions in operating costs and facilitated access to higher value markets as compared to the Company’s project update ASX announcement “Ngualla Project Study delivers substantial Capex and Opex savings” dated 16 March 2016 (“Project Update”). The results of the BFS have confirmed that the Ngualla Project has the potential to become one of the lowest cost and highest quality rare earth projects worldwide. Delivery of the project is well timed to benefit from the expected strong uplift in the demand for permanent magnet motors required by the rapidly expanding electric vehicle market, which has been the main catalyst for significant increases in the price of lithium and cobalt since late 2015. Neodymium and praseodymium are expected to generate 90% of Ngualla’s future revenue. Please note all cost are in US$ unless otherwise stated. Highlights of the BFS: . Operating cost of US$ 34.20/kg NdPr* Oxide, demonstrating potential to be the world’s lowest cost fully integrated rare earth development project . Annual operating costs reduced by $35 million per annum from the PFS . Pre Tax NPV10 of $676 million . Post Tax NPV10 of $445 million . Pre Tax NPV8 of $930 million .
