New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$8.6m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (US$241k revenue). Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$101.5m market cap, or US$70.1m).

Aspire Mining Limited Completes CHPP Infrastructure FEED Study Aspire Mining Limited is focused on developing metallurgical coal assets in Mongolia, principally its wholly owned Ovoot Coking Coal Project (OCCP). The Company is pleased to advise that Sedgman Pty Ltd. (Sedgman) has completed Stage 2 of the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) Study for the Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) infrastructure to be constructed at the OCCP and issued its final report outlining the design and cost estimate (FEED Study). In response to feedback gathered during community consultation, the elimination of potential dust emissions was an express objective of the design and engineering. Result of this is evident in the planned coal handling, stockpiling and truck loading infrastructure. The concept presented in this FEED Study represents a significantly more sophisticated processing and materials handling solution than that contemplated in the March 2019 Pre-Feasibility Study1. Leading technologies are also incorporated to minimise power and water consumption. This is an important step in the development of the OCCP, as establishment of a CHPP at the Ovoot site is an important factor to enable consistent delivery of high-quality coking coal to market. Currently, only one other Mongolian coking coal producer beneficiates its coal on site to a globally recognised product specification. Key outcomes from Stage 2 of the FEED Study include: Preparation of concept design with nameplate capacity of 350 tonnes per hour (tph) feed, based on a simple, robust process flowsheet comprising proven technologies. Incorporation of reliable equipment capable of operating more than 7,200 hours per annum and 20 years life with appropriate training and maintenance regimes in place. Meeting design objectives to maximise water and power efficiency, containment of potential dust emissions, and avoidance of requirement for tailings storage facility. Optimisation of layout conducive to future phased expansion, including product handling system capable of supporting doubling of initial throughput. Board Change • Apr 27

Aspire Mining Limited Announces Ovoot's Premium Fat Coking Coal Category Confirms Customer Validation Process Commences Aspire Mining Limited is focused on the development of metallurgical coal assets in Mongolia, principally the wholly owned Ovoot Coking Coal Project (OCCP). The company has recently received fresh laboratory results based on an indicative Ovoot sample confirming previous results indicating that Ovoot is a high quality Fat Coking Coal. A 60 kg sample1 of fresh coking coal indicative of Ovoot's Upper Seam which will be the focus of the Ovoot Early Development Project was tested by SGS in Tianjin China with the key results. Ovoot Coking Coal also fits within the Fat (Zh) and Coking Fat (KZh) coking coal categories within the Russian coal classification system. The characteristics that make a fat coal important to add to blends include the wide plastic range, in that it is able to blend with numerous other types of coals with narrower melting ranges. As well it has very high fluidity which allows for the coal to mix well with the other coals in the batch. Finally the plastic layer (Y Index) effectively bonds particles from other coals, the thicker the plastic layer the better. The characteristics that make a fat coal an integral component of a coke blend include a wide plastic range (>95oC) whereby it remains plastic longer and bonds with other blend components that have already resolidified. Whilst in this plastic range it exhibits a high level of fluidity allowing the plastic fluid to mix through the blend and encapsulate the inert components. The greater the volume of plastic material produced (as indicated by upper end of Y Index: 25 - 35mm), the greater the capacity to "carry" a higher load of inert components. High quality fat coking coals have an important value in use in the Chinese steel industry, particularly at present with import limitations being put on Australian hard coking coals. China is not self sufficient in sourcing hard coking coals and since 2009 has relied on imports to make up the shortfall. Adding quality fat coking coals allows steel mills to add lower quality coking coals into the batch, more than what hard coking coals could carry to make quality coke. Fat coking coals like Ovoot's would be used between 5% to 10% of a coke batch in order to support the carrying ability of the limited supply of prime hard coking coals. Fat coking coals are priced at around the same as hard coking coals in Tianjin China as the following 5 year price chart shows.
