2 Huge Problem Access to Resources is the Rate Limiting Step of Our Species

3 Challenge-1: PGM Scarcity & Pricing Air pollution from cars is solvable by platinumintensive technologies PGM s are siderophilic (iron loving) metals that sank to Earth s core during formation. PGM demand is going to triple in 30 years at constant PGM price *US Dept of Energy funded study by TIAX. Scenarios based on 80% and 50% fuel cell vehicle market penetration by

4 Challenge-2: Fuel in Space is Expensive LEO $4M / ton GEO Cost to reach GEO $20M / ton = $2 3 Billion Annual market today x10 Expected growth to $20-30 Billion in the next 10 years

5 Vision Advancing Technologies open new frontiers and unlock access to resources once seen as impossible to harvest economically: Ø Hall-Heroult process! Aluminum boom Ø Hydraulic Fracturing! Shale natural gas boom Ø Deep-water Drilling! Deep sea oil boom

6 Once the rarest metal on Earth was actually the most abundant. (made accessible by technology in 1886) Once inaccessible information education and water are becoming abundant. So will the resources of space. 6

7 Technology has a history of unlocking resources Space Resources made accessible by Planetary Resources State-of-the-Art : $1 Billion Arkyd Space Drone : $5 Million Part count Workforce of 1000 engineers One of a kind single craft Uses Deep Space Network 300 Part count Workforce of 40 engineers Mass produced swarm spacecraft High bandwidth laser comm >90% built in-house

8 Market Why Asteroids? Why Now? 1. Our knowledge about asteroids is recent asteroids are closer than the Moon 3. Planetary has identified the best 11 asteroids 4. These asteroids are Trillion Dollar assets today Fuels Construction Metals Platinum Group Metals

9 Planetary Resources Business Strategy: 1. Develop and demonstrate 4 key enabling technologies; 2. Build a service-based company that is able to serve near-term robust markets; 3. Partner with key multinational companies to claim the most valuable real-estate in the solar system
