Corporate Overview & Strategy Focused on high tech strategic metals including Rare Earth Elements (REE) in Europe; The European Commission i is seeking to develop domestic supply capacity of strategic metals; COM(2008) 699 : The raw materials initiative meeting our critical needs for growth and jobs in Europe The EU is highly dependent on imports of high-tech metals such as cobalt, platinum, rare earths, and titanium. Though often needed only in tiny quantities, these metals are increasingly essential to the development of technologically sophisticated products in view of the growing number of their functionalities. The EU will not master the shift towards sustainable production and environmentally friendly products without such high tech metals. These metals play a critical role in the development of innovative environmental technologies for boosting energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen- fuel based cars require platinum-based catalysts. Electric-hybrid cars need lithium batteries and rhenium super alloys are an indispensible input for modern aircraft production Tasman s portfolio is uniquely placed, with the capacity to deliver high tech h h metals tl from politically stable, mining friendly jurisdictions.

Strategic Metals Critical for Greening Economies Strategic metals, including Rare Earth Elements (REE s), gallium, tantalum and zirconium have long been known but only recently sought due to the critical role they play in high tech applications and energy efficient technologies; REE s are essential in production of hybrid/electric cars, solar panels, wind turbines, compact florescent lighting, high energy magnets, mobile phonesand computers; Due to their unique properties, REE s cannot be substituted; LIGHT REE S The EU has recognized development of high tech/high capital industries are dependant on secure REE supply. 57 La 58 Ce 59 Pr 60 Nd 61 Pm 62 Sm 63 Eu 64 Gd 65 Tb 66 Dy 67 Ho 68 Er 69 Tm 70 Yb 71 Lu + 39 Y HEAVY REE S

REE s A Growing Market Total global demand in 2009 forecast at 135 Mt pa rare earth oxides ( REO ), of which 95% will come from Chinese sources. Average price of US$10 US$12 per tonne is forecast with a total market value of US$1.5 billion; Market has grown from 40 Mt pa REO in 1985, when USA was the dominant producer; New production may come from North American and Australian suppliers; REE Consumption Segments by Value 2006 European supply has not been secured. High tech manufacturing industries in EU remain fully exposed to Chinese output.

REE s A Growing Market China has set production and export quotas and export taxes 175 REE Global Production and Consumption, 1950 to 2014 150 on REE s to strengthen local 125 manufacturing. Export licences 100 for REE s were reduced by 35% 75 in 2009 from 2008 levels; 50 China (production) Production n/demand k T pa China is committed to apply more stringent environmental legislation to REE mining, and not approve new mines; 25 Rest of World (production) 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 The Wall Steet Journal: China, Japan on collision course over rare-earth earth metals Kazunori Fukuda, deputy director of the nonferrous metals division at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, said: "If the Chinese export Japan is actively seeking new supply sources and has expressed concern at China s market strength. 28.05.2008 quota limits were the reality of what comes into Japan each year, we would be even more worried than we already are. All green technology depends on rare earth metals and all global trade in rare earth depends on China."

Europe s High-tech dependency Despite significant consumption, the European region does not currently produce any strategic metals The EU is mandated to improve the high tech raw material trade imbalance and protect domestic industry This EU strategy requires project development in mining i friendly regions like Scandinavia. 85% REE

Scandinavia The Home of REE s The region is well endowed with REE, including former mines. Many REE s were first discovered in Sweden, including cerium, erbium, holmium, lanthanum, scandium, terbium, thulium, ytterbium, yttrium. The REE mineral bastnäsite originates from the Swedish village of Bastnäs, where cerium ore was mined in the late 1800 s ; Scandinavia shows good examples of a range of REE deposit styles, including: Iron REE Deposits: iron oxide with skarn +/ apatite Carbonatites with Y, Ba, La, Se Pegmatites Peralkaline igneous rocks Per Teodor Cleve Carl Gustaf Mosander

Scandinavian REE Projects Portfolio Tasman has applied for 100% ownership of a strong portfolio of REE projects in Sweden, Finland & Norway. Projects characterized by: excellent existing infrastructure; stable jurisdictions mining friendly countries traditional deposit styles former REE producing area... and therefore present an excellent opportunity to contribute to strategic metal security of the European Union.
