Natural Resources in Japan 3 • Since Japan has few domestic natural resources, Japan 100% depends on imports Tin for almost all of its 100% crude oil, natural gas, 99.3% non‐ferrous metals Copper 99.6% and minerals. Coal Oil
The Importance of Metals for Japanese Industry 4 In, 48.7% Ga, 44.9% Mo, 16% REE, 14.8% Li, 14.0% Pt, 13% • Japan has high‐tech Pd, 12.8%※ Ti, 12.1% ※ industries which utilize many Co, 9.9% ※ Ni, 8% types of metals; especially Ge, 7.7% Sn, 7.6% rare metals and REE. V, 7.5% W, 7.3% • GDP of Japan is almost 6% in Nb, 7.1% Mg, 4.8% the world. Most of rare Sb, 4.7% Cu, 4.2% metals are above the Fe, 3.9% ※ Mn, 3.7% ※ percentage. Zn, 3.4% Al, 3.3% Ag, 3.1% Pb, 2.5% Iron, Base metals Zr, 2.0% Rare metals TiO2, 1.7% Precious metals Au, 1.5% Rare earth elements 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Source: World Metal Statics 2015(WBMS), Mineral Commodity Summaries 2015(USGS), INDUSTRIAL RARE METALS No.130(アルム出版社) Percentage of Consumption: Japan/World (2017)
JOGMEC, Who We Are 5 • Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), an incorporated administrative agency, is established by the Japanese government. • The principal role of JOGMEC is to seek a stable supply of natural resources for Japanese industry as an agency implementing natural resource policies under jurisdiction of METI. Since 1963 Since 1967 Metal Mining Agency of Japan Japan National Oil Corporation (MMAJ) (JNOC) February 2004 Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) Coal & Geothermal units added
Organization of JOGMEC 6 Headquarter: Tokyo • Metals Strategy & Exploration Unit • Metals & Coal Financial and Environment Unit • Stockpile Unit • Oil & Gas Upstream Business Unit • Oil & Gas Upstream Technology Unit • Geothermal Resource Development Dept. Two research centers in Japan • Metals Technology Center • Technology & Research Center (oil and gas) Worldwide network • 13 overseas offices gathering relevant information
Early‐Stage Overseas Exploration 7 • Take early‐stage risks to promote overseas explorations • Program – Typical joint venture style exploration • Farming into an exploration project held by a foreign company, then transferring JOGMEC’s contractual interest to a Japanese company • Target commodities H He – Base metals (Cu, Zn,...) Li Be B C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si PP S Cl Ar – Rare metals K K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Fe Co Ni Cu Zn Ga Ge As Se Br Kr Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd In Sn Sb Te I Xe (Ni, Co, REE, Li, ...)

Discovery at Waterberg – for safe and low‐cost operation 8 Waterberg Outline • Exploration started in 2009, Discovery in 2011 • Impala Platinum participated in the project in 2017 • Resources (cut‐off grade 2.5 g/t): [Indicated] 24.8 Miloz 3PGMs+Au [Inferred] 10.8 Miloz 3PGMs+Au • Prill Split : Pd 61%, Pt 30%, Au 8%, Rh 1%+ Cu, Ni
Support Programs for Advanced‐Stage Projects 9 • Financial assistance to Japanese companies for overseas mineral explorations or development projects • Programs – Financing for overseas explorations – Funding part of the equity capital – Guaranteeing the liabilities
Financial Assistance 10 Mt. Weld REE mine • Sojitz and JOGMEC agreed to provide a total of US$ 250M through loan and equity to Lynas’s Mt. Weld REE mine on March 2011. • 8,500 tonnes/year of REE products can be delivered to Japan. • First REE products were shipped in March 2013. JOGMEC Sojitz Investment Japan Australia Rare Earths B.V. Financing (Loan & Equity) Lynas Mount Weld Rare Earths Concentration Plant
Financial Assistance 11 Araxá Niobium mine • Japanese group (JFE Steel, Nippon Steel, Sojitz & JOGMEC) acquire 10% stake in CBMM on March 2011 by investing US$ 1.3B. • CBMM owns Araxá niobium mine, refining plant & metallurgical facilities. • CBMM produces over 80% of global supply. • Reserves of Araxá mine is equivalent to over 200 years of world demand.

Re‐evaluation of Criticality Matrix 12 • Refers to EU’s model • Adjusts for Supply Risk Japanese industries • Data used is 2012. • Now updating Economic Importance

Summary 21 • JOGMEC is a governmental agency seeking to stable supplies of natural resources for Japan. • The impact of China’s growth in metal consumption affect to metal market. • Economic tie between Japan and China is very strong, China’s economic and social change would give effect on Japan’s material industry. • Mine development takes 10 – 15 years, we should imagine future economy/society in the world in order to keep stable supply of metals.
