Ore Sorting Results Exceed Expectations 1 Successful ore sorting testwork with potential for major project upgrade: Copper grades were beneficiated by an average of 81% (Molybdenum 111%). The highest sample product increase in overall grade of 139% resulted in an encouraging 71% reduction in feed with only a 34% deferral or loss of contained copper Potential to materially reduce plant size and related Capex, decrease cash costs and maintain annual production that could result in vastly improved project economics Significant potential for higher feed grades from sorted ore in the early years of production Further bulk ore sorting testwork with a larger bulk samples > 1 tonne is underway Ongoing review and assessment of other compatible ore sorting technologies Photo: Copper Ore Sorting – Glencore CSA, Cobar.

With bulk ore sorting, ore that previously didn’t qualify for processing may be upgraded, making it economic to treat and improving the resource utilisation More valuable metal may be extracted from the resource while the processing plant treats less tonnes at higher feed grade, reducing consumption of water and power as well as lower tailings output. Significant capital reductions may also be achieved through smaller back end milling and processing requirements There are a number of different technologies, based on industry proven, high capacity industrial sorting machines from major international equipment suppliers, with well established businesses in industrial minerals and material recycling Caravel Minerals Limited (ASX:CVV) | Investor Presentation | Jan 2018 5
Bulk Ore Sorting: Proven Technology There are a significant number of global suppliers of sorting technology solutions. Caravel are considering a number of suppliers including TOMRA which is a leading global group with over 3,500 employees and an annual turnover in 2016 was A$1.12B. TOMRA currently have 250 global mining installations: MARKET INSTALLATIONS Europe 70 US / Canada 35 Australia 30 Southern Africa 50 Other 25 TOTAL 250 The TOMRA technology is currently being successfully used by many large global mining groups, including: Caravel Minerals Limited (ASX:CVV) | Investor Presentation | Jan 2018 6
