For further information please contact: Ian Levy, CEO and MD Australian Bauxite Limited Mobile: +61 (0) 407 189 122 About Australian Bauxite Limited ASX Code ABX Web: www.australianbauxite.com.au Australian Bauxite Limited ( ABx ) has its first bauxite mine in Tasmania & holds the core of the Eastern Australian Bauxite Province. ABx’s 14 bauxite tenements in Queensland, New South Wales & Tasmania totalled 914 km 2 & were selected for (1) good quality bauxite; (2) near infrastructure connected to export ports; & (3) free of socio-environmental constraints. All tenements are 100% owned, unencumbered & free of third-party royalties. ABx’s discovery rate is increasing as knowledge, technology & expertise grows. The Company’s bauxite is high quality gibbsite trihydrate (THA) bauxite that can be processed into alumina at low temperature. ABx has committed a large proportion of its expenditure into Research and Development to find ways to capitalise on the main strengths of its bauxite type, mainly highly clean, free of all deleterious elements and partitioned into layers, nodules, particles and grains of different qualities that can be separated into different product streams using physical, chemical and geophysical methods. ABx has declared large Mineral Resources at Inverell & Guyra in northern NSW, Taralga in southern NSW, Binjour in central QLD & in Tasmania, confirming that ABx has discovered significant bauxite deposits. ABx’s first mine commenced at Bald Hill near Campbell Town, Tasmania in December 2014 – the first new Australian bauxite mine for more than 35 years. ABx aspires to identify large bauxite resources in the Eastern Australian Bauxite Province, which is a globally significant bauxite province. ABx has created significant bauxite developments in 3 states - Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania. Its bauxite deposits are favourably located for direct shipping of bauxite to both local and export customers. ABx endorses best practices on agricultural land, strives to leave land and environment better than we find it. We only operate where welcomed. About ALCORE Limited Australian Bauxite Limited ( ABx ) has incorporated ALCORE Limited as a wholly-owned subsidiary to fund and manage the ALCORE Project, leading to the construction of an ALCORE Production Plant to produce Aluminium Fluoride (AlF 3 ) and valuable co-products, using patent (pending) new technology. The ALCORE Technology is designed to convert low grade bauxite worth $50 per tonne into a suite of valuable products worth more than $800 per tonne. Site construction works for Stage 1 of the ALCORE project commenced on 1 July as planned at ALCORE’s pre-approved Pilot Plant site in Berkeley Vale, Central Coast NSW. Stage 1 is designed to produce AlF 3 test samples for pre-qualified aluminium smelter customers & then produce Corethane, which is pure hydrocarbon powder refined from low-value coals and has been used to provide thermal and electrical power with low CO 2 emissions when used as a gas-substitute to fuel large gas turbine. Corethane has also been used as a diesel substitute for fuel security purposes and is ideally suited for use as a sulphur-free bunker fuel.

Bauxite Markets & ABx Strategy 1. Metallurgical bauxite for aluminium industry (strong signs of recovery) • + 100 million tonnes pa traded globally 2. Cement-grade bauxite demand is a strongly growing market (profitable prices) AN BAUXITE LTD ABX BX • 25 million tonnes pa of cement-grade bauxite traded, growing fast • ABx’s bauxite makes alkali-free, quartz-free, ideal for late-strength cement. Helps cement kilns operate smoothly: “ ABx bauxite is the best favour you can do for yourself & your cement plant” (customer) LIAN 3. Fertiliser-grade bauxite to make superphosphate RALI AUSTRA • ABx bauxite used to make granules for superphosphate 4. Refractory-grade and chemical-grade bauxite for industrial use • Emerging new markets for ABx 5. BAUXITE REFINING TO PRODUCE ALUMINIUM FLUORIDE: • Increases the value of its bauxite tenfold, capitalising on the clean chemistry of ABx bauxite and the hydro-electricity and skills in Tasmania. 5
