Oklo Mali Phosphate<br />

Samit Project (formerly Tatteul)


Projects: Mali - Samit<br />

� Located in NE Mali near the<br />

Niger River and town of Gao.<br />

� Through its wholly owned<br />

Malian subsidiary La Société<br />

Oklo Uranium Limited Mali<br />

Sarl, Oklo has been granted a<br />

Convention for the exploration<br />

and mining of Phosphate and<br />

other Group 2 minerals under<br />

the Malian mining code for a<br />

term of 30 years and covering<br />

an area of 530km 2 .<br />

� Phosphate-bearing Eocene<br />

beds occur extensively<br />

throughout the project area<br />

forming contiguous outcrop<br />

over 180km.


Projects: Mali – Samit


Projects: Mali – Samit (formerly Tatteul)<br />

� Area of recent<br />

exploration where<br />

a deposit has<br />

been identified<br />

� Phosphatebearing<br />

Eocene<br />

beds continue to<br />

surface and are<br />

expected to occur<br />

at shallow depths<br />

“down dip” in the<br />

central and SE<br />

areas.


Projects: Mali – Samit (The “Plateau Deposit”)<br />

� Work completed in January 2010<br />

discovered a discrete phosphate<br />

deposit ranging in potential tonnage<br />

from 10 million – 20 million tonnes<br />

with a grade of around 20% P 2O 5<br />

(terminology used in accordance<br />

with the JORC code).<br />

� A series of pits exposed the<br />

phosphate beds where they were<br />

not occurring at the surface.<br />

� The “Plateau Deposit” covers an<br />

area of 9 km 2 and is up to 1.9m<br />

thick with grades up to 31% P 2O 5.


Results of an independent scoping study<br />

(GEOS Mining Consultants):<br />

� Recommend further development<br />

Projects: Mali - Samit<br />

� Confirm “Plateau Deposit” potential of b/n<br />

10Mt and 20Mt tonnes at 20% P 2O 5;<br />

� Confirm additional resource potential within<br />

the broader project area;<br />

� Confirm local market for phosphate<br />

fertiliser sales;<br />

� Estimate base case production scenario of<br />

150,000 tonnes per annum with CAPEX of<br />

+/- AUD17.5m.


Projects: Mali - Samit


Global Phosphate Industry<br />

� Phosphate rock is the primary source<br />

for phosphorus – one of three<br />

elements critical to plant growth<br />

(along with nitrogen and potassium).<br />

� 90% of phosphate mined is used in<br />

fertilisers.<br />

� Other uses include animal feed<br />

supplements, food preservatives,<br />

anti-corrosion agents, cosmetics,<br />

fungicides, ceramics, water treatment<br />

and metallurgy.<br />

� There is no substitute for phosphorus<br />

in agriculture.<br />

� Phosphate from mineral deposits is<br />

the only source of phosphate used in<br />

the manufacture of fertilisers.<br />

� Phosphate rock is a non-renewable<br />

resource.<br />

Global Phosphate Industry<br />

� Growth in demand for<br />

phosphate to stem<br />

from:<br />

◦ Global population<br />

growth<br />

◦ Global rise in income<br />

◦ Demand for bio-fuels<br />

◦ Decreasing supply of<br />

arable land creating a<br />

need for increased<br />

yields<br />

◦ Higher fuel costs<br />

creating a need for<br />

greater efficiency.<br />

Oklo Mali Uranium<br />

Kidal Project


Projects: Mali - Kidal<br />

� A 53,534 line kilometre Airborne geophysical survey<br />

undertaken in 2008 identified numerous prospective<br />

uranium targets and confirmed “Namibian” potential<br />

at the Kidal project.<br />

� Two three-year exploration conventions were<br />

subsequently granted covering a total area of 7,980<br />

km 2


Project: Mali – Kidal


Project: Mali – Kidal<br />

Results for the southern half of the Kidal project<br />

independently evaluated by Southern Geoscience,<br />

shows widespread elevated uranium and specific<br />

uranium targets that warrant drill testing.<br />

� Widespread elevated uranium across Pan-<br />

African granites and Cambrian volcanosedimentary<br />

sequence – numerous uranium<br />

type targets.<br />

� Elevated uranium along veins Jáchymovtype<br />

uranium targets.<br />

� Elevated uranium in (Fossil) drainages –<br />

Langer Heinrich-type uranium targets.<br />

� Elevated uranium in pegmatitic phases<br />

within granitic ring complexes.<br />

Project: Mali – Kidal<br />

Initial results for the northern half of the Kidal<br />

project area prove positive and confirm continuation<br />

of widespread uranium anomalism.<br />

� Elevated uranium responding to pegmatitic<br />

phases within granites Rössing type targets.<br />

� Elevated uranium in vein systems in<br />

northern area.<br />

� Elevated uranium in drainage system rise<br />

from areas with high uranium backgrounds.<br />

� Elevated uranium across a broad area<br />

continuing strongly from the south.<br />

Australia: Rare Earths &<br />

Phosphate<br />

Killi Killi South & Burke River Projects


Projects: Rare Earths – Killi Killi South<br />

� Oklo’s Killi Killi South project is adjacent to Orion Metals<br />

(ASX:ORM) Killi Killi Rare Earths Prospect and is<br />

located on the Northern Territory Side of the W.A / N.T<br />

border.<br />

� In Sept. 2010, Orion announced high grade heavy rare<br />

earths elements (HREE), uranium and gold results from<br />

a reconnaissance rock chip programme conducted on<br />

their tenements.<br />

� Subsequently, Orion announced that the HREE<br />

mineralisation at Killi Killi is indicative of hydrothermal<br />

activity.<br />

� Oklo considers that such hydrothermal activity is most<br />

likely related to the intrusion of Proterozoic granites into<br />

the Archaean Killi Killi beds, which occur in the vicinity.


Projects: Rare Earths – Killi Killi South<br />

� Intrusive granite occurs below shallow subcropping<br />

Killi Killi Beds in Oklo’s project area.<br />

� Based on the current understanding of Orion’s<br />

HREE mineralisation, the Killi Killi Beds in proximity<br />

to this granite, constitute a high priority target.<br />

� Oklo intends to carry out an airborne geophysical<br />

survey over the entire 144km 2 Killi Killi South<br />

project area in Q1 2011.<br />

� Resulting high resolution magnetic data and<br />

radiometric data will be used to identify rare earths<br />

structures and targets for follow up ground work.


Projects: Phosphate – Burke River<br />

� The Burke River project is located near Mt<br />

Isa, Queensland.<br />

� Phosphate is currently mined at Phosphate<br />

Hill, approximately 30km south of Burke<br />

River.<br />

� Originally selected for its Uranium potential<br />

(both surfical and phosphate related types),<br />

GEOS undertook a review of the potential of<br />

this tenement hosting phosphate and<br />

recommended further exploration.<br />

� Further exploration to be undertaken.


Australia: Mithril<br />

Resources Ltd JV<br />

Harts Range Project


Projects: Harts Range Joint Venture<br />

� Oklo Holds two permits in the Harts Range<br />

region (NT), namely EL 25451 and EL 25453, the<br />

non-uranium rights to which were the subject of a<br />

farm out to Mithril Resourced Ltd (ASX: MTH) in<br />

January 2008.<br />

� Mithril is a base metal explorer with a highly<br />

experienced team that combines advanced<br />

technology with traditional exploration to deliver<br />

success in frontier (greenfield) areas.<br />

� Mithril has conducted a highly successful<br />

exploration campaign on the Oklo-Mithril ground<br />

and has satisfied its spend commitment to earn<br />

its initial 60% equity of the project.

Short Term Strategy<br />

� Recommence drilling and other<br />

exploration work on the Mali gold<br />

projects.<br />

Short – Medium Term Strategy<br />

� Carry out further exploration on the Samit<br />

phosphate project with the intention of<br />

sufficiently developing tonnage and grade to<br />

create a JORC resource.


Longer Term Strategy<br />

� Follow up aerial survey targets and develop an<br />

exploration programme at the Kidal uranium<br />

project.<br />

Other<br />

� Maintain 40% interest in the Mithril/Oklo joint<br />

venture.<br />

� Complete aerial survey of Killi Killi South rare<br />

earths and determine future strategy<br />

� Look to divest Burke River phosphate project or<br />

arrange a farm in.
