New Risk • Apr 14
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 25% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 25% per year for the foreseeable future.

Greentech Technology International Limited Announces Ringrose Exploration Update, Owned 50% by YT Parksong Australia Holding Pty Limited and 50% by Metals X Limited The board of directors of the Greentech Technology International Limited provided an update on the ongoing near mine exploration at the Renison Tin Operations, in which the Company through YT Parksong Australia Holding Pty Limited, has a 50% equity interest. Renison is managed by Bluestone Mines Tasmania Joint Venture Pty Ltd. Metals X Limited owns another 50% equity interest in Renison though its 50% stake in BMTJV. This update is based on the information provided by Metals X. During 2019, seven surface drill holes were surveyed in a program using a single axis DHEM probe. This program identified 24 conductor plates, 13 of which were off-hole conductors. An initial program of three diamond drill holes for 2,104m was completed to test the ranked conductors and assessed the potential for DHEM to detect tin bearing sulphide mineralisation. This program was completed during 2022. A subsequent phase 2 diamond drilling program comprising seven drill holes for 6,246m commenced in August 2022 to test other 2019 DHEM conductors. Drill hole S1671, collared approximately 750m south of existing mine development, was the second of these Phase 2 drillholes and intersected 26.93m (down hole width) @ 4.57% Sn from 225.07m. Following this high-grade intersection, ten additional follow-up drill holes for 5,600m have been completed at Ringrose to date. Several of these drill holes completed were surveyed with downhole electromagnetic (EM) in November 2023, identifying several new conductive zones. Assay results from six of these holes, and preliminary results from the EM survey were previously reported in the announcements of the Company (on 5 July 2023 and 27 February 2024). Additional significant Sn assay results now received from the ongoing follow-up drilling include: S1683: 2.9m @ 0.9% Sn from 143.3m; 5.6m @ 1.2% Sn from 158.6m; and 6.85m @ 0.69%Sn from 181m; S1684: 9.9m @ 0.53% Sn from 244m; S1685: 3.8m @ 3.38% Sn from 13.2m, 2m @ 0.80% Sn from 27m; 2.1m @ 1.01% Sn from 48.9m; 9m @ 0.60% Sn from 56m; 7.7m @ 0.41% Sn from 145.2m; S1687: 7.2m @ 2.52% Sn from 249.4m; S1688: 6.45m @ 0.51% Sn from 201m; 12.05m @ 1.01% Sn from 213.15m; S1696: 8.4m @ 0.87% Sn from 42.5m (NB drilling is ongoing). High-grade tin mineralisation currently extends over approximately 300m strike length, 250m depth extent and is open in all directions, with extensional drilling continuing. Reported mineralisation is broadly coincident with the modelled DHEM conductors, however conductor orientations currently vary between drill hole intersections. Drill core orientations also indicate that the mineralised zone is structurally complex and interpretation is evolving with the aid of newly acquired DHEM and FLEM survey data, as well as further drilling. Current interpretation indicates an east-west striking mineralised zone with north/north-west- trending high-grade shoots. Drill hole S1696 was collared 100m north of Ringrose and is currently still in progress. The reported intersection for the first part of this drill hole indicates mineralisation at Ringrose extends further to the north and visible mineralisation in this hole currently also extends down hole. Drillcore for the remainder of drill hole S1696 will be sampled and assayed on completion and remaining assays for S1688 are pending. Results for these drill holes are expected in June 2024. Infill and extensional drilling at Ringrose are ongoing with currently planned programs expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2024. Additional results will be announced on completion of these programs. FUTURE PLANNING: Drilling - Ringrose: Two surface diamond drill rigs are currently drilling exploration targets at Renison. A closer- spaced infill program of ten surface diamond drill holes for a total of 2,800m is in progress at Ringrose and expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2024. Drill holes are designed to further test the extent and grade of mineralisation at Ringrose, with three holes extended past the mineralisation target to test recently modelled conductors. Collar locations and hole traces for this ongoing program are shown in Figure 4. In addition to the standard Renison core logging, processing and multi-element exploration assay suite, selected ore grade intersections will also be submitted for mineralogical analysis and preliminary metallurgical test work including modal mineral analysis (MLA) and bond work index testing. A second drill program drilling north and south along strike of the Ringrose mineralised zone is also progressing and these drill holes were designed to test the modelled strike extent of the mineralised zone with additional support from EM conductor models from the recent EM surveys at Ringrose. A total of five surface diamond holes for 2,100m is currently in progress for this program which is also expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2024. On completion of modelling and interpretation of the EM survey data, further drill targets are expected to be generated and drill tested in the second half of 2024 with a continued focus on the Ringrose target area.

Metals X Limited Announces Latest Significant Intersections At Renison Mine Metals X Limited provided an update on the ongoing resource definition drilling program at Renison Tin Operations (Renison), in which it holds a 50% equity interest. Renison is managed by Bluestone Mines Tasmania Joint Venture Pty Ltd. (the Manager) on behalf of the joint venture owners. HIGHLIGHTS (100% Basis): Recent drilling programs at the Renison Mine have added an additional 14 significant tin intersections across the mine since the 15 July 2021 ASX release. These new intersections form part of ongoing drilling programs targeting resource extensions to the north, south and at depth of current reported resources; South Basset/Lower Federal surface drilling program has delivered 2 more ore intersections from hole S1665D in both the Federal Fault and a deeper footwall fault associated with the Federal Fault. S1665D is a daughter hole off S1665 which also returned favorable results in early 2021; The most northerly significant tin intersection ever drilled at Renison, was intersected in hole U8505 in what is interpreted to be steeply dipping mineralisation related to footwall structures (within the hypothesized Regnans Trend). This hole was drilled from the Huon North 1450 hangingwall drill drive and returned 3.2m @1.91% tin approximately 300m to the north of current mining operations. This intersection was one of several positive results in the northern target area, that also included 8.1m @ 0.86% tin in U8313 and 5.7m @ 1.93% tin in U8325; Deep intersections in the Leatherwood area below current mining levels continue to impress with results such as 6.1m @ 9.56% tin in U8462 and 4.5m @ 9.81% tin in U8466.

Metals X Limited Provides Update on Ongoing Resource Definition Drilling Program At Renison Tin Operations Metals X Limited provided an update on the ongoing resource definition drilling program at Renison Tin Operations (Renison), in which it holds a 50% equity interest. Renison is managed by Bluestone Mines Tasmania Joint Venture Pty Ltd. (the Manager) on behalf of the joint venture owners. Hastings is a newly defined area that is in a major footwall fault zone between the high-grade Area 5 and Leatherwood areas with the discovery intersection at the 1066 RL. The Hastings area currently has an extent of approximately 375m horizontally and 145m vertically. The Hastings area interpretation is now based on 16 diamond drill holes; 13 of which contain significant tin intersections with the mineralised zone open to the north and at depth. Since the initial discovery hole in February 2021, ongoing follow-up drill testing of the Hastings area has now reported multiple high grade tin intersections of very significant widths, below are the most significant: Hastings recently contributed 6.1kt tin in the 2021 Renison Bell Mineral Resource of 18.2 Mt at 1.65% Sn for 302kt of contained tin, comprising 55% in the Indicated Resource category and 45% in the Inferred Resource category. The Hastings mineralisation is proximal to existing Area 5 and Leatherwood's infrastructure and, as mining progresses, will be readily supported by planned infrastructure. Further follow-up infill drilling is planned to commence towards the end of current year 2021. Anuncio • Jun 08
Metals X Limited Provides Renison Mineral Resource Update Metals X Limited provided an update of the Mineral Resources for the Renison Tin Operation (Renison) in Tasmania. New Mineral Resource estimations completed for Renison using data to 31 March 2021. The continuing commitment to Mineral Resource development drilling has once again delivered strong results with defined tin in Measured and Indicated Resources increased by 1,500 Sn tonnes (1%) and average tin grades increased by 2% (0.04% Sn) when compared to 31 March 2020 (after mining depletion). Total Renison Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource of 18.2 Mt at 1.65% Sn for 301,500 tonnes of contained tin. 7,000 Sn tonnes (3%) increase in Measured and Indicated Resources from 255kt of contained tin to 262kt of contained tin. Resource definition and grade control drilling continues with two underground and one surface rig currently in operation. The on-going exploration program aims to increase the Mineral Resource, net of depletion, each year with a range of exploration targets identified. Senior geological and mining engineering staff of the BMTJV oversee reviews and technical evaluations of the estimates and evaluate these with reference to actual physical, cost and performance measures. The evaluation process also draws upon internal skill sets in operational and project management, ore processing and commercial/financial areas of the business. The BMTJV Management Committee of which Metals X has three members is responsible for monitoring the planning, prioritisation and progress of exploratory and resource definition drilling programs across the Company and the estimation and reporting of Mineral Resources. These definition activities are conducted within a framework of quality assurance and quality control protocols covering aspects including drill hole siting, sample collection, sample preparation and analysis as well as sample and data security. A four-level compliance process guides the control and assurance activities by the BMTJV: Provision of internal policies, standards, procedures and guidelines. Mineral Resource reporting based on well-founded geological and mining assumptions and compliance with external standards such as the JORC Code. Internal review of process conformance and compliance. Internal assessment of compliance and data veracity. The BMTJV Management Committee aims to promote the maximum conversion of identified mineralisation into Mineral Resources compliant with JORC 2012. Renison is the largest of three major skarn, carbonate replacement, pyrrhotite-cassiterite deposits within western Tasmania. Sludge drilling is performed with an underground production or development drill rigs (nominal 64mm-89mm diameter hole). It is an open hole drilling method using water as the flushing medium. Criteria for classification Resources are classified in line with JORC guidelines utilising a combination of various estimation derived parameters, the input data and geological /mining knowledge. This approach considers all relevant factors and reflects the Competent Person's view of the deposit. At Renison, material classified as Measured must have development (with face samples) within 20 m. Indicated Mineral Resource must have sufficient grade and geological continuity with drill hole intersections generally between 40m and 20m apart. Inferred Mineral Resource is material that is defined by drill hole intersections between 120m and 40m apart. Geological continuity may be present, but the grade estimate is lower in confidence. Sample analysis method Samples are dried at 90°C, then crushed to <3mm, samples are then riffle split to obtain a sub sample of approximately 100 g which is then pulverized to 90% passing 75 um. A 2g subsample of the pulp sample is then weighed with 12 g of reagents including a binding agent, the weighed sample is then pulverized again for one minute. The sample is then compressed into a pressed powder tablet for introduction to the XRF. Sn, As and Cu have a detection limit 0.01%, Fe and S detection limits are 0.1%. Each XRF batch of twenty consists of one blank, one internal standard, one duplicate and a replicate. Anomalous assay results are re-assayed to ensure quality control. Estimation methodology All modelling and estimation work undertaken by BMTJV is carried out via LeapfrogTM and Surpac VisionTM software by creating three-dimensional ore body wireframes using sectional techniques. Drill hole intersections within the three-dimensional wireframes are composited and statistical analysis is conducted to determine appropriate search parameters within individual domains. An empty block model is created, and grade estimation is undertaken using ordinary Kriging estimation methods. The resource is then depleted using mining voids and subsequently classified in line with JORC guidelines as above. Cut-off grades The Mineral Resource reporting cut-off grade is 0.7% Sn at Renison Bell. Mining and metallurgical methods and parameters The Renison mine predominantly applies up-hole benching and open stoping mining methods with (in some cases), post fill and cemented rock fill to fill voids. A slurry type of fill is assumed to be used to backfill a portion of the stope voids of the high-grade wide ore zone in Area 5. A mining dilution of 5% to 15% at zero grade is used to estimate the Ore Reserve. Minimum widths for underground development are 4.5 m and for stoping minimum widths are 2.0 m. Historical Mining recoveries of 75% to 98% are applied to estimate the Ore Reserve. No Inferred Mineral Resources are included within the Ore Reserve. The Renison mine produces a tin concentrate of grade varying between 50%-60% Sn with internal process designed to reduce penalty metals such as iron, sulphur, tungsten and copper. The metallurgical process is complex and applies several stages of gravity-type concentration as well as sulphide and oxide flotation, regrinding and acid leach methods. The metallurgical recovery is estimated from plant feed grades and is based on historical plant performance with modifying factors for different ore sources. Metallurgical recoveries on the various ore types and grades were considered as part of the cut-off grade analysis. Price Target Changed • May 20
