Competent Person’s Statement The information in this presentation is an accurate representation of the available data and studies for the deposit reviewed by Mr Greg Knox (MAusIMM), a Director of the Company. Mr Knox has over 25 years of exploration and mining experience in a variety of mineral deposit styles. Mr Knox has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. (JORC Code 2012). Mr Knox consents to inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

• Samples taken from shallow pits and shafts below surface comparable with other graphite projects at this stage of development
• In-situ assay results up to 18% Total Graphite Content (TGC)
• Further test work is to be carried out on samples from the drilling programs and it Is expected that the Mass Distribution percentage will increase in the ranges greater than 180 microns and higher concentrate values are expected (with further metallurgical work)

• Anson’s TGC only second to Talga – one of the highest in the world
• Higher TGC - lower processing costs

} Costeans to be dug to identify if and where graphite schist comes to surface
} Predictions based upon CRA drill hole log
} Heritage clearance to be conducted next month
} DMP approval received for a diamond and RC drilling program
} Heritage clearance to commence in April 2016
} Drilling program scheduled for May 2016
16
} Drilling program conducted by CRA in 1993 recorded graphitic schist from 128.6 m to 148.5m (down hole).
} From 148.5 to 161.05m
graphitic units were logged within the pelitic granulite.
} Planned drilling program objective is to confirm the width, grade and flake size of the graphite logged in the historic CRA diamond hole.
17
} Metallurgical test work to continue and expanded to include samples from drilling program
} It is expected that grade and flake size distribution to improve
} Production process test work to continue
} Suitability for a number of end uses to be tested
