Significant

opportunity for

Asian markets

● Elemental is well positioned to export its potash product to Brazil, the world’s key importer of potash

Brazil imports 90% of its domestic potash consumption

● Potential for robust margins given premium pricing due to the company’s targeted granular product mix, low cash costs and favourable ocean freight rates from Pointe Noire to Brazil

Pointe Noire is 4,931 nautical miles closer to Santos than Vancouver • Elemental’s production also represents a large, attractive potash source for the Asian market

● Further, Africa was estimated to consume ~900Ktpa of potash in 2012; split approx. equally between (i) the established markets of South Africa and North Africa, and (ii) the rest of Africa (less developed and underpenetrated)

● The likely huge growth in demand across Africa represents significant upside that is not featured in the current economics For

Immediate Building Blocks – Creating Optionality

• Potash market fundamentals remain solid – outlook improving

• ROC continues to be attractive due to locality and supporting government

• Elemental management has developed a two pronged strategy

• Aggressive follow up exploration programme for the Dougou Prospect aimed at unlocking the largely untested potential of the greater Sintoukola permit.

• Advance the Kola project

• Advance the world class Kola project, which will include further drilling aimed at expanding the high grade

Hangingwall Seam (‘HWS’) sylvinite Mineral Resource

• Dougou HWS Prospect being advanced - exploration remobilisation underway

• Recently obtained historic seismic and drill data enables a fast track Dougou programme

• A search is underway for appropriate Chairman and directors in order to reconstitute the board and lead the

company to success

• Reduction in overhead costs underway

• Studies on Kola recommenced with a view to reducing and optimising lower capex alternatives

• Negotiations with potential infrastructure carve out partners resuscitated aimed at reducing capital

• Identify equity partner to finance the project

• 2Mtpa conventional, u/g sylvinite mine (phased implementation of 1mtpa then 2mtpa) • Advanced PFS completed and well received by peers and market commentators • Mining licence awarded • Government and ELM ready to engage on investment agreement • Environmental permit in place • Mine to Tchiboula (plant and jetty site) land rezoning completed (compensation payments deferred) • Kola is a world class deposit • Offtake agreements and infrastructure partners – discussions in progress • Preparing a PEA on phased approach, (incl. infrastructure outsource) planned for T0+4 months. • Phase 1 Capex could be reduced to approx. $1.0bn (with infrastructure carve out)

Dougou – unlocking the value of the Hangingwall Seam

Elemental has defined an Exploration Target for the Hangingwall Seam (HWS) at Dougou of 1.0 to

1.4 billion tonnes grading between 23% and 25% KCl at an average seam width of 9.3m*

• Dougou Prospect could be almost twice the size of Kola, but only one ELM borehole to date • Currently no value assigned to Dougou despite having highest grade known potash seam intersection in

the world

• 2013 - ELM acquired historic borehole data for Dougou, each of the 12 boreholes contains the HWS • Data analyis now complete

• Historic data should support an immediate, substantial Inferred Resource • Historic data plus Phase 1 of planned exploration programme should support a significant Indicated

Resource

• Developing massive HWS exploration target for imminent release

ED_01

• HWSS: highest grade potentially mineable seam in world : ED_O1: 4.47 metres grading

58% KCl.

• Possible NW-SE structural control on sylvinite • Additional sylvinite Top Seam potential (3.5 m

@ 34 % KCl), which is 12 m above the HWSS

• Considerably higher risk exploration than HWSC as relies on sylvinite replacement

• Therefore first several boreholes will be exploration – testing the structural control

‘‘may’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘would’’, ‘‘might’’ or ‘‘will’’ be taken, occur or be achieved, have been used to identify forward-looking information.

Forward-looking statements in this Presentation may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: future extraction, methodologies and the exploitation of mineral deposits; capital expenditure

requirements; IRR and NPV of the Sintoukola Potash Project; expected production capacity; certain mining assumptions; cost estimates; product market assumptions; market price assumptions;

transportation and marketing costs; life of mine production parameters; arable land per capita projections; estimation of Mineral Resources; the Company spending the funds available to it as stated in this

Company; reclamation and rehabilitation obligation and liabilities; treatment under governmental regulatory regimes with respect to environmental matters; treatment under governmental taxation regimes;

government regulation of mining operations; dependence on personnel and competitive conditions.

Forward-looking statements are based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and its perception of trends, current conditions and

expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made, but which may prove to be

incorrect. Management believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: the

Company executing its project development plans in accordance with its budgets and planning; feasibility and other studies supporting the Company’s development plans; the Company being able to obtain

sufficient financing when required and on reasonable terms; the Company being able to convert existing Mineral Resources into Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves; the Company obtaining required

licenses and approvals in a timely manner; applicable environmental and other laws and other regulations not being amended; key management continuing to serve in their respective roles with the

Company; title to the Sintoukola Potash Project not being challenged; and no changes occurring to the price of potash that might adversely affect the prospects for developing and operating the Sintoukola

Potash Project or which might make it uneconomic to proceed with development.

Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not

such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including risks related to: no history of mineral

production; lack of revenue from operations; dependence on the Sintoukola Potash Project; uncertainty of estimates of Mineral Resources; lack of Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves; projections being

materially different than results; challenge of title to the Project; failure to obtain approvals and licenses; adverse regulatory requirements; litigation; mining complexities; construction delays; potential for

water ingress; potential for ground water access to Mineral Resources; adverse climate conditions; failure to secure suitable waste disposal permits; inadequate infrastructure; delays in gaining access to

land; existence of cultural heritage on lands for which access is required; inability to recruit and retain key employees; unknown environmental risks; uninsurable risks; potential officer and director conflict of

interest; inability to secure additional capital; global financial conditions; competition in the mining industry; cyclical demand for potash; weather patterns and natural disasters; volatility in potash prices;

political and economic risks in the ROC; entitlement of the Congolese government to a stake in the Sintoukola Potash Project; enforcement of contractual rights in the ROC; exchange rate fluctuations;

repatriation of funds; failure to declare funds prior to bringing them into the ROC; opposition from non-governmental organizations; lack of dividends; volatility and lack of liquidity of ordinary shares of the

Company. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Presentation are based upon what management of the Company believes are reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure

investors that future performance and actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. The Company, its directors, officers, agents, employees or advisors, do not represent, warrant or
