Introduction
For personal use only
Right commodities, Right location, Right time
EXCITING OPPORTUNITY
Drill ready potash targets in known salt layers at the Company’s 100% owned Capela Project.
Recently completed 3D seismic at the Capela Project has confirmed potential salt layers
at shallow depths of 235 - 325 meters.
Substantial land holding showing strong indicators of phosphate at the
Company’s 100% owned Arapua Project.
Granted exploration licenses and work programmes commenced.
IDEAL LOCATION
Brazil is the largest potash importer and the third largest potash consumer in the world.
90% of potash is imported and the remaining 10% is produced by Vale on adjacent block to the
Company’s Capela Potash Project.
Fertilizer demand in Brazil is estimated grow twice as fast as overall global demand from now until 2025.
All projects are ideally situated close to existing infrastructure and demand.

What is Potash(K) ?
For personal use only
Potash (K) is one of the three primary nutrients (N, P, K).
Potassium (K) is a soft and light alkali metal of a silver-white colour.
Sylvite and carnallite are the two minerals with the highest
concentration of potassium.
95%
of potash is used
for fertilisers.
Most crops need potassium (K) more than any other nutrient elements.
PHOSPHATE (P)
Plays a key role in root
development.
POTASH (K)
Improves plant durability
resistance to drought,
diseases, parasites and
cold weather.

Investor Presentation / December 2014
What is Phosphate(P) ?
For personal use only
Phosphate (P) is also one of the three primary nutrients (N, P, K).
Phosphorus (P) is essential to a plant’s growth, its functions cannot be
performed by any other nutrient, and an adequate supply of P is
required for optimum growth and reproduction.
86%
of phosphatic rocks are used in
fertiliser manufacturing.
Phosphorus is a major nutrient required by crops in relatively large amounts.
Brazil is one of the largest users of phosphate and accounts for
80% of Latin American consumption.

Huge local market to meet and supply
For personal use only
Brazil imports 90% of its potash and 51% of phosphate consumption.
Over the last 15 years Brazil’s crop revenue has risen from
US$23bn to US$126bn and is estimated to increase a
further 40%.
The Government of Brazil is supporting the development
of potash projects to decrease its dependance on imports.
Ready access to ports, rails and roads to meet local and
international growing potash demand.

Capela Potash Project
For personal use only
The Company has acquired a 100% interest in the Capela Potash Project sitting next to
the Taquari-Vassouras the only potash mine in Brazil.
The project is located in the Sergipe Alagoas Basin, which hosts
significant deposits of sylvinite and carnallitite.
Rocks with highest potassium concentrate.
The Capela Potash Project consists of eight granted exploration licenses
covering total area of 11,212 hectares.
Vale operates the Taquari-Vassouras Potash Mine 13km to the
south of the Capela Potash Project.
Recently completed 3D seismic has confirmed that the Capela Potash
Project is the possible northern extension to Vale’s Taquari-Vassouras
Potash Mine to the south.
The 3D seismic has identified the potential presence of salt layers at
relatively shallow depths.
Existing infrastructure with access to local and international markets.

Arapua Fertiliser Project
For personal use only
The Company has acquired the Arapua Fertiliser Project further developing its strong
presence in Brazil’s fertiliser sector.
The Arapua Fertiliser Project is located in the State of Minas Gerais,
approximately 400 kilometres south east of the Brazilian capital city
Brasilia and within one of the major agro-industrial centers of Brazil.
The Arapua Fertiliser Project consists of eight granted exploration
licenses covering total area of 14,946 hectares. The project is divided
into three blocks Arapua, Pindaibas and Maxixe blocks.
At the Arapua block, notable grades from recent grab samples ranged
from 5% to 24% P2O5, over apatite-rich kamafugitic rocks.
At Pindaibas block, recent auger drilling returned values up to 14.8%
P2O5.
The apatite-rich rocks are nearly horizontal and strongly weathered
allowing to an easy mineable operation.
Initial test work and scoping studies has commenced.
