New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 16% This is considered a minor 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: Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (16% increase in shares outstanding).

Strandline Resources Limited Advises Coburn Project Construction of WCP Advancing Rapidly Strandline Resources Limited advised that it is set to achieve first production and cashflow from its Coburn mineral sands project in Western Australia in the December quarter following rapid progress in the construction of the WCP and supporting infrastructure. Structural and mechanical construction of the WCP and power station is substantially complete, with priorities now shifting to installation of in-plant piping, electrical equipment and bore headworks in preparation for commencement of commissioning. Final construction of other critical supporting infrastructure, including water services, electrical reticulation, communications interconnections, and site offices and buildings, is also underway. Coburn WCP is designed to beneficiate heavy minerals (ilmenite, rutile, zircon and monazite) and reject the non-valuable, lighter minerals through multiple stages of high-capacity gravity separation and classification. Several shipments of the rich HMC produced from the WCP will be sold to market while construction of Mineral Separation Plant (MSP) is finalised. This strategy will accelerate project cashflow and further de-risk the overall project ramp-up. Once the MSP is ready, HMC will then be transported to the MSP for further processing to produce Coburn's premium-quality final products, including chloride ilmenite, rutile, premium zircon and zircon concentrate. Pre-stripping of open mining pits has commenced ahead of schedule and is planned to ramp up over the coming months. Three dozer mining units are assembled and ready to be moved into position and commissioned for mining first ore. Operations planning continues to accelerate, with key focus on assembling a highly skilled and diverse workforce and to finalise the development of operations and maintenance procedures and training packs. With Coburn construction reaching peak activity and personnel numbers on site, the Company continues to focus on managing the various risk factors associated with development of the project. This includes HSE risks, potential impacts of COVID-19, inclement weather, contractor performance and contractual claims. The capital expenditure (Capex) forecast to complete the project, including an assessment of contractual claims received to date, is regularly evaluated by the Company's technical, financial and legal experts. The project forecast remains in line with the overall Capex budget. Announcement • Jul 01

Strandline Resources Limited Announces Coburn Project Open Pit Mining to Start Two Months Early Strandline Resources Limited advised that rapid construction of its 100% owned Coburn mineral sands project in Western Australia has facilitated commencement of open pit mine development (starter pits) two months ahead of schedule. After successful early mobilisation of the mining contractor in April 2022, construction of the temporary tailings storage facility is almost finished, and pre-strip mining will commence from next week. Mine development will now run concurrently with finalising the construction of the processing and supporting infrastructure, which remains on-budget and on track for first production of HMC later this year. Detailed mine planning optimisation by AMC Consultants, using the latest infill drilling data, has resulted in an enhanced pit design for the first two years of the mine plan, which contains less overburden (lower strip ratio) and potentially reduced mining costs compared to assumptions contained within the Coburn DFS. The strip ratio has reduced from an average of 0.7 to 0.5 over the first two years of the mine plan, due primarily to optimising and scheduling more ore closer to surface on the eastern side of the deposit. The three dozer mining units have been delivered and assembled on site, ready to be moved into position for mining first ore later this year. Commissioning of the sub-systems associated with the wet concentration plant (WCP) and hybrid power station is expected to commence from next month (July 2022) as construction verification works ramps up. Strandline Managing Director Luke Graham said commencement of pre-strip mining represents another important milestone for the project, ensuring the company remains on track for first production of heavy mineral concentrate in the December quarter this year. With Coburn construction reaching peak activity and personnel numbers on site, the Company continues to focus on managing the various risk factors associated with development of the project. This includes HSE risks, potential impacts of COVID-19, inclement weather, contractor performance and contractual claims.

Strandline Resources Limited Announces Coburn Project Construction Progress Reaches 75% Complete Strandline Resources Limited advised that construction of its 100% owned Coburn mineral sands project in Western Australia is now 75% complete. Coburn's construction remains in line with its timetable and capital budget, ensuring it is on track for first production of HMC later this year. The critical mineral markets for zircon, titanium, and monazite rare earths remains tight, underpinned by strong long-term demand drivers, such as global growth, urbanisation, rising living standards and an extensive array of applications, including global electrification and renewable energy. The market trend is towards supply deficit with a lack of new quality projects on the horizon. Strandline is exceptionally well positioned to capitalise on this supply shortfall, with 100% of Coburn's production covered by binding offtake agreements with some of world's consumers across Europe, America and Asia. Importantly, these contracts enable Strandline to take advantage of rising prices. Coburn construction continues to progress in accordance with the overall project plan, with strong progress achieved on critical path activities, including the wet concentration plant and supporting infrastructure. Key progress achieved to date includes: Zero lost time injury and medical treatment injury reported to date; Mining contractor established and construction of the temporary tailing storage facility well underway; Site assembly of the three dozer mining units is almost complete, ready for potential early commissioning; Construction of the hybrid power station is also advancing on-schedule, which includes the multi-work front installation of the 11MW solar farm, LNG storage and engine hall complexes; Construction of the processing plant structures and supporting infrastructure continues to advance rapidly, with all key fabricated materials and mechanical-electrical equipment delivered to site (or on route); Installation of sitewide overhead power lines, field piping and water bore installation are all well advanced; Construction of the site village is complete with all 272 rooms online, meeting workforce requirements; Commissioning planning, spares procurement and establishment of key operational systems, maintenance procedures, training and workforce plans is continuing to ramp up; Key focus is on local recruitment, workforce diversity and indigenous engagement. As Coburn approaches peak activity and manning on site, the Company continues to focus on managing the various risk factors associated with development of the project. This includes, but not limited to, HSE risks, potential impacts of COVID-19, inclement weather, contractor performance and contractual claims. The capital expenditure (Capex) forecast to complete the project, including an assessment of contractual claims received to date, is regularly evaluated by the Company's technical, financial and legal experts.

Strandline Resources Limited Initiates A Scoping Study on the Potential to Increase the Planned Production Rate by Up to 50% At Coburn Minerals Sands Project in WA Strandline Resources Limited advised that it has initiated a scoping study on the potential to increase the planned production rate by up to 50% at its 100%-owned Coburn minerals sands project in WA. The production increase would be aimed at enabling Coburn to capitalise further on its world-class resource, long mine life, high mineral sands prices and strong demand for offtake among leading customers in the US, Europe and China. Any expansion is expected to be funded out of future Coburn cashflow and leverage significantly off Coburn's infrastructure (currently being constructed), especially the inherent design capacity within the processing plant circuitry. Preliminary investigations highlight the potential compelling capital and operating cost efficiencies of scaling-up the project, further enhancing Coburn's already strong competitive position. Construction at Coburn is 65% complete and the project is on-budget and on-schedule, with first production of heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) set for the December quarter, 2022. Coburn will produce critical minerals of zircon, titanium (rutile and ilmenite) and monazite mineral (rare earths). Coburn has an initial mine life of 22.5 years based on the current JORC-compliant Ore Reserves, with the potential to extend this beyond 2060 (40 years) by converting Mineral Resources which exist adjacent and immediately north and along strike of the existing Ore Reserves. In May-2021 Strandline made a Final Investment Decision (FID) to proceed with the full development of its world-scale Coburn mineral sands project, located in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. The construction schedule has first production of HMC planned for the December quarter of 2022. The Coburn project is set to capitalise on its robust margins, the strengthening minerals sands commodity pricing outlook, its tier-1 location, and the growing demand for critical minerals. The Coburn mine life currently sees mining continue until 2045 (based on mining the initial 22.5-year JORC compliant Ore Reserves), with the potential to extend to beyond 2060 (40 years mine life) by converting Mineral Resources which exist adjacent immediately north and along strike of existing Ore Reserves. The FID was supported by the updated Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), released in mid-2020, which confirmed robust economics for the project over an initial 22.5-year life. Announcement • Apr 01

The Agreement is subject to conditions precedent regarding the development of the Project and conditions subsequent regarding the supply of rutile to the quality requirements. With the previously announced offtake contracts, Strandline now has +90% of Coburn's forecast revenue secured via long-term binding offtake contracts. Together, the offtake contracts have a forecast combined value of $600 million (AUD 850 million at AUD: USD 0.70) over five years, based on the pricing structures contained in the agreements and commodity price forecast assumptions contained in the Coburn updated DFS. Coburn's rutile specification has been confirmed as suitable for production of TiO2 pigment (the market for high grade titanium feedstocks), commonly used in the formulation of paints, coatings, inks, ceramics, paper and plastic production and other industrial applications. The rutile agreement follows the investment decision by the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) to provide a AUD 150 million loan facility, as well as the appointment of a series of major execution contracts for development of the Coburn project. The NAIF facility accounts for a major share of Coburn's capital requirement of AUD 260 million (excluding financing costs). Is New 90 Day High Low • Mar 03

Strandline Secures Port Access for Export of Coburn's Mineral Sands Products Strandline Resources announced further progress in its strategy to develop the Coburn mineral sands project in Western Australia, with the execution of a port access and services agreement with Mid West Ports Authority (MWPA) for the export of Coburn's products at the Port of Geraldton. The Agreement allows Strandline to export ~230,000 tonnes per annum of mineral sands product, including heavy mineral concentrate, premium zircon (finished), zircon concentrate, chloride grade ilmenite and rutile products. MWPA is the operator and manager of the Port of Geraldton facilities and has had experience handling similar mineral sands products through the port for many years. Under the Agreement, MWPA will provide access to the port facilities and manage the loading of Coburn's mineral sands product into vessels on a campaign basis. The initial term of the Agreement is for 10 years. The Agreement is subject to customary conditions precedent for a port services agreement of this nature, as well as Strandline making a final investment decision relating to the development of Coburn.
Earlier this year, Strandline announced the completion of major binding offtake contracts with some of the world's leading consumers across Europe, America and China. The offtake agreements cover ~72% of Coburn's forecast revenue with the remaining high value products of rutile and premium zircon retained to sell in the spot market. Since then, Strandline and Coburn's majority lender, the Northern Australia Infrastructure Fund (NAIF), have made substantial progress towards completion of loan facility documentation and satisfaction of customary conditions precedent to drawdown. Strandline is now moving rapidly to finalise the balance of Coburn's funding requirement, which is expected to comprise a combination of commercial debt (alongside the NAIF AUD 150 million tranche) and equity financing.

Strandline Resources Limited Announces Positive Results of the Engineering Scoping Study on its Tajiri Mineral Sands Project in Tanzania Strandline Resources announced the positive results of the Engineering Scoping Study on its Tajiri mineral sands project in Tanzania. Strandline Managing Director Luke Graham said the Scoping Study confirms the technical and economic strength of Tajiri. In light of the Study's strong findings, Strandline will continue to advance project permitting and development approvals. The company will also review strategic partnership options to assist with the next phase of project development and evaluate external funding options including strategic joint venture interest. coping study cautionary statement: The Tajiri project Scoping Study is a preliminary technical and economic study of the potential viability of developing the project's mine and associated infrastructure. The Scoping Study is based on lower level technical and preliminary economic assessments and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or certainty that the conclusions of the Scoping Study will be realised. Approximately 90% of the total Mineral Resources for the Tajiri Project and approximately 91% of the total ore scheduled for mining in the Scoping Study for the 23.4 years is underpinned by Measured and Indicated Resources. Approximately 10% of the total Resources for the Tajiri Project and approximately 9% of the total ore scheduled for mining in the Scoping Study for the 23.4 years is underpinned by Inferred Resources in the remaining 2 years. There is a lower level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of further Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources or that the Production Target or preliminary economic assessment will be realised. The Scoping Study is based on the material assumptions outlined elsewhere in this announcement. While the Company considers all the material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Scoping Study will be achieved. To achieve the potential mine development outcomes indicated in the Scoping Study, initial funding in the order of USD 125 million will likely be required. Investors should note that there is no certainty that the Company will be able to raise funding when needed, however the Company has concluded it has a reasonable basis for providing the forward-looking statements included in this announcement and believes that it has a "reasonable basis" to expect it will be able to fund the development of the Project. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive to, or otherwise affect the value of the Company's existing shares. It is also possible that the Company could pursue other strategies to provide alternative funding options including project finance. Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make any investment decisions based solely on the results of the Scoping Study. Reported Earnings • Sep 25
