European Significance ▪ Rajapalot is already 7th largest European cobalt resource – and expanding (cobalt by-product with 14% in-situ value) ▪ Finland refines half the world’s cobalt outside of China, but mines just 650 tonnes or 0.5% of the world's cobalt New Exploration Technologies 9
Metallurgy ▪ Gold: 95% - 99% (average 97%) recovery obtained by a combination of gravity (26-48%) and conventional cyanidation*, or +90% by flotation (+100g/t Au con) *SGS Cornwall ▪ Cobalt: Mineralogical work shows cobalt hosted in cobaltite (85% mass) and linneate (15% mass) in certain areas and cobalt pentlandite only in other areas, magnetic separation (>90% pyrrhotite = low sulphide tailings), flotation (23-63% or 78-93% for cobaltite) ▪ Business Finland 50:50 co-funded C$1.2M cobalt met studies (June 2021) ▪ BATCircle2.0 program for Finland to deliver sustainable and ethically sourced metals and minerals for their national battery supply chain and circular economy Hypothetical flow sheet Design 1 10
