HPA demand compounding ~23% p.a. into a structural
4N supply deficit.
A large market pulling ahead of supply
04
THE INVESTMENT CASE
Five reasons Impact is undervalued
01 A globally significant, low-cost HPA resource A shallow salt-lake orebody in Tier-1 WA, JORC-compliant,
with completed PFS economics.
A differentiated, lower-carbon process A patented low-temperature leach producing 4N HPA
at a fraction of incumbent emissions.
02
A clear, government-backed path to production
Each study and pilot milestone a discrete, fundable re-
rating opportunity.

WHY IT
MATTERS
Technical de-risking has outrun the share price — the value gap is the opportunity.

WHY IT
MATTERS
A large, fast-growing and supply-short market rewards new, low-cost, qualified
4N producers.

A High Margin Business if its ultra-pure
Its all about the Ns (4N = 99.99% Al2O3)
**In-house figures researched by Impact Minerals Ltd
Impact Minerals Limited · ASX: IPT RIU Resources Investor Roadshow · August 2026
WHY IT
MATTERS
Purity is where the value sits — at 4N, HPA sells for roughly 8–15× smelter-grade alumina,
turning a low-cost feed into a high-margin product.

Western Australia: A Tier One Jurisdiction
Impact Minerals Limited · ASX: IPT RIU Resources Investor Roadshow · August 2026
WHY IT
MATTERS
A stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction — proven infrastructure, a skilled workforce and
direct access to port de-risk the path to market.
THE BUSINESS CASE
THE RESOURCE · LAKE HOPE (IPT: 80%)
A large, naturally low-cost orebody
1.7 million tonnes at 26% Al₂O₃
JORC (2012) Maiden Ore Reserve – 33 year initial mine life
Impact Minerals Limited · ASX: IPT RIU Resources Investor Roadshow · August 2026
WHY IT
MATTERS
Scale and a genuinely low-cost orebody in a Tier-1 jurisdiction
— the foundation of the strategy.
Close to surface
Relatively soft clay, little to no crushing
Simple hydrometallurgy
By-product credit
Saleable sulphate of potash (SOP)
Mineralisation at surface — no deep drilling or blasting
Soft and low-cost to mine
Suited to a straightforward leach flowsheet

Clean 4N product No penalty elements; low U/Th
Government-funded process A$2.87m federal CRC-P grant
WHY IT
MATTERS
A cost and ESG edge incumbents cannot easily match and de-risked now with
government funding.

THE SECOND ROUTE · ALLUMINOUS (50%)
An independent, modular route
to HPA
A separate project & technology
50%-owned, with its own ownership, commercials and route to market —
distinct from Lake Hope.
Patented process
A chemical solvent-exchange route to 4N HPA.
Already in customer qualification
Pilot HPA samples shipped to a US battery-technology partner
(C4V) for qualification.
Modular and scalable
Capacity added in stages — with the option to use Lake Hope feedstock.
WHY IT
MATTERS
A second, faster, modular route to qualified HPA
— optionality independent of Lake Hope. Delivers full range of HPA Products
