New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 33% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (24% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (33% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$5.0k revenue, or US$3.3k).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Australian stocks, typically moving 19% a week.

All three bring a strong history of resource project development and operational experience that will add crucial oversight capability as VHM enters the next stage of development for the Goschen Rare Earths and Minerals Sands Project ("Goschen Project"). The operational knowledge that the new directors bring to the table will be invaluable to guide the executive team through the build, commissioning and operation phases required to produce and sell rare earth mineral products from Goschen. Mr. Ian Smith has an extensive background as a Managing Director of major resources companies and as a consultant to the industry. Mr. Smith brings highly relevant development and operational experience to the Board. While at Newcrest he oversaw a significant expansion of the business which drove a large increase in shareholder value. Mr. Smith will commence as a Non-Executive Director of the Board immediately.

VHM Limited Announces Metallurgical Results and Commencement of Drilling VHM Limited announces the results from Area 4 Metallurgical testwork, confirming high THM grades and amenability to the Goschen Project (Areas 1 and 3) processing through the conventional flowsheet. Area 4 is located outside of the Goschen Project footprint and is part of a high grade strandline deposit defined by resource definition drilling in 2018 and 2019. The Company also announces the commencement of drilling at the Cannie and Nowie Prospects. As part of VHM's extensive metallurgical testwork program, 1.6 tonnes of material sourced from four geological domains of interest within Area 4 was characterized by Mineral Technologies and treated though the Goschen Project mineral sands process flowsheet. The material used for the trial comprised drill sample retains generated during the 2019 drilling program. The material from Area 4 is not currently included in the Goschen Project footprint but will serve as a source of future feedstock. The testwork confirms the Area 4 material is amenable to processing through the flowsheet proposed for the Goschen Project and has significantly higher THM grades. The testwork demonstrated that material from Area 4 was successfully processed through the Goschen process flowsheet. Losses of recoverable valuable heavy minerals to the slimes was minimal as evidenced by good alignment between the distribution of titania (TiO2), zircon (ZrO2) and cerium (CeO2) to slimes when compared with the characterizationresults.High recoveries of high value heavy minerals were observed across the gravity concentration circuit and is consistent with the use of shaking tables. Typical separation observed for Area 4 material. Annuncio • Jan 17
VHM Limited, Announces Metallurgical Test Results from Static Trials VHM Limited, announced the metallurgical test results from static trials conducted by leading rare earth research and testwork facility Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation. The results have confirmed exceptional leach extraction rates are possible from the Rare Earth Mineral Concentrate at the Goschen Project deposit. The testwork is being undertaken to finalise the plans and inform final assessment of the Hydromet Plant at the Goschen Project. The samples used at ANSTO for metallurgical testwork are based on a sonic bulk sample drill program that the Company undertook during 2022, within Area 1 and Area 3 Extended. A total of 223 holes in Area 1 and 65 holes in Area 3 Extended were drilled, totalling 8,310.4m, using sonic and diamond drill rigs. The intent of the bulk sampling program was to generate sufficient REMC for pilot plant testwork to support the Hydromet Plant process development. VHM has completed comprehensive testwork previously at ANSTO as well as flowsheet evaluation testwork in 2018 on a typical sample of REMC from the Goschen Project. The recent work demonstrated that the Goshen REMC is highly amenable to processing through to a high value upgraded Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate product as set out in the Prospectus dated 21 November 2022 as supplemented by the supplementary prospectus dated 5 December 2022, lodged with ASX on 5 January 2023. Based on the ANSTO testwork the Company selected the Sulphate Bake route, as it provides the highest extractions and most robust economic case. In preparation for pilot plant testwork, ANSTO has undertaken pre-pilot testwork using the industry standard acid baking and water leach route. The purpose of this work is to define piloting conditions such as acid addition, kiln temperature and reaction time. The pre-pilot testwork has demonstrated exceptional extractions >99% for the critical light rare earth metals and >98% for the critical heavy rare earth metals. Testwork for the subsequent stages of the Hydromet Plant is ongoing. Projected commercial recoveries will be further defined at the pilot plant testwork stage. ANSTO continues with pre-pilot optimisation in parallel with the design and procurement of equipment for the pilot due to commence in First Quarter of 2023. When complete, the pilot will demonstrate the entire flowsheet from REMC to the MREC product and include water and reagent recycle. The pilot plant flowsheet that has been developed by ANSTO for the Goschen REMC. The REMC is considered industry leading not only in its exceptionally high rare earth grade, but also in the very high proportion of high value critical rare earths Pr, Nd, Tb and Dy. These rare earths are essential to the automotive industries transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The combination of the exceptionally high grade REMC in conjunction with demonstrated high extraction rates is expected to result in low capex and opex to produce the MREC product. As a result of the purity, there are expected to be lower reagent costs, smaller kiln, and lower energy costs, adding to VHM's competitive proposition. The Company will commence pilot plant testwork in First Quarter 2023 with ANSTO, the results of which will inform a future engineering study scheduled thereafter. Piloting will give VHM detailed engineering solutions, the ability to order long-lead items for the Hydromet Plant and provide product offtake for marketing.
