TECHNOLOGY AGREEMENT

F R A M E W O R K

Leveraging mutually beneficial opportunities

[OFFICIAL]

PATHWAYSInvestment arrangement can take a number of paths. Key feature is a monthly ongoing monthly fee to support a research and development team to work exclusively on the customer’s projects

METHODOLOGYTechnology Agreement Functional can also provide the framework to allow smooth transition of the research and development work across to the follow-on phases, that involves prototyping (i.e. ‘trialling’ phase), pilot and production / commercialisation.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Technology Agreement provides a solid framework for the research and development activities

Improving safety with Mobilaris Emergency Support™

• Founded in 1999 initially focusing on telecom business

• In 2017 Epiroc acquires 34% of Mobilaris Mining & Civil

Engineering

• Headquarters and software development in Luleå,

Sweden.

• Local offices in Australia, Canada and US.

• Footprint on all continents and ambitious global growth

goals.

• A wide range of technology-agnostic products that fit into

whatever infrastructure or systems already in place.

With leading digital solutions Mobilaris Mining & Civil

Engineering takes digitalization of mining operations

to the next level.

For years, our products have been used to digitalize

underground mines all around the world. So far, the

result has been double digit productivity increases,

higher efficiency and increased safety for the mining

industry.

With cutting-edge solutions, Mobilaris Mining & Civil

Engineering takes digitalization of underground mining

operations to the next level.

For years, our solutions have been used to digitalize

underground mines all around the world. So far, the

result has been double digit productivity increases,

improved efficiency and increased safety.

• Founded in 1999 initially focusing on telecom business

• Headquarters in Luleå, Sweden.

• Local offices in Australia, Canada and US.

• Footprint on all continents and ambitious global growth goals.

• A wide range of well proven technology-agnostic products that

fit into whatever infrastructure or systems already in place.

• Mobilaris MCE is fully owned by Epiroc

Dangerous areas, narrow roads

and winding curves are all daily

obstacles that threaten workforce

safety. Every unforeseen event,

such as a fire or traffic collisions,

puts lives in danger and weakens

production.

Safety Challenges - What has happened and where?

- Where are people?

- Who is safe and who is not?

- Who has received the emergency message?

- Do I need to organize search and rescue?

- How do I evacuate the mine safely?

- Meeting traffic ahead?

▪ Network and Access Points integrated into Mobilaris Mining Intelligence

(MMI) can ‘hear’ a tag and receive information like MAC address,

timestamp, etc.

▪ Mobilaris positioning engine receives a package from the access point

containing RSSI value of the tag blink (return signal strength indicator),

timestamp, Access Point MAC address, tag mac address and positions

the tag on the 3D map

• A tag (Mobilaris Virtual Tag, Mobilaris Companion tag or Roobuck cap lamp) register on an access point and get an IP address

• Over a standardized protocol the tag reports relevant information like timestamp, RSSI value, MAC address over Wi-Fi and LTE.

Benefits

• No need to directly integrate with the network vendor as Cisco, NLT, or ABB

• New standard for positioning and emergency for all tag and network vendors

• Can be easily reused by other vendors and makes the solution vendor agnostic, very suitable for mixed networks and mixed tags

The traditional vs. new way

of positioning

Emergency support

• Integrated with messaging/mine phone

system or smart cap lamps, the Mobilaris

Emergency Support™ application can

submit evacuation messages and keep

track over those who know about the

evacuation and those who don’t.

• The emergency application can display

the real-time status of refuge chambers,

showing who is in a safe zone and who is

not.

• The emergency application can guide

rescue personnel to the people still in

danger.

Mobilaris Mining Intelligence™

Safer Mining Operations

Efficient evcuations

Reduce the evacuation time by 25-50% with real-time information

showing who is safe and who is not.

Safe underground traffic

Be warned of potential traffic collisions well in advance to avoid

accidents.

Smart alerts

Alert affected personnel based on their location, directly via their cap

lamp or smartphone.

Live maps and locations

Get an overview of vehicle movement, workforce safety and progression,

and update your colleagues about area restrictions.

Smart analytics

Analyze network status, recent incidents, and the current status of

refuge chambers.

Automated events

Set up automatic alerts, e.g. when entering an area with remotely

operated loaders or when maximum amount of people is reached.

Kirkland Lake Gold, Australia

Wireless Cap Lamp Tracking with Mobilarisfor Underground Hardrock Mines

Mine in Focus > KLG Fosterville Gold Mine VIC (FGM)

TODAY’s TECH TALK

▪ CHOOSING THE RIGHT WIRELESS CAP LAMP & SPECS• FOSTERVILLE MINE’S PROBLEM & SOLUTION

▪ DEVICE CONFIGURATION & OTA▪ TWO-WAY SIGNALLING▪ BIG DATA▪ CAP LAMP APPLICATIONS▪ WHY ROOBUCK ?

Roobuck is a leading manufacturer/provider of:

▪ Miners Cap Lamps▪ PPE Safety Signal lights▪ Other Explosion-proof products, and▪ Mine IoT Device Solutions

“Choosing the Right Wireless Cap Lamp”FGM invited Roobuck to join a market evaluation of wireless cordless Cap Lamps.

FGM’s Problem…

Whilst not diminishing the good features of its existing versions of smart Cap Lamps;

FMG required a new smart Cap Lamp that also maintained the core purpose of a Lamp being a reliable light source fit for underground mining requirements.

Other core features required:

✓ Superior battery life / operating time

✓ Light weight

✓ Beam angle adjustable

✓ Superior light, projection and spot beam (inspect drill holes and stopes)

✓ Faster charging time

✓ Simple charging mechanism and charging indicator

✓ Miner acceptance was essential

The Outcome: FGM selected Roobuck as its preferred supplier for three reasons: 1. The Company’s good reputation in the METS sector2. Ability to collaborate with Mobilaris to achieve ultimate outcomes3. Confirmed best “Fit for Purpose” Cap Lamp technology

Roobuck delivers…

▪ A proven market reputation for quality advanced wireless Cap Lamps for miners

▪ Integrated Cap Lamps that operate at an advanced level with the Mobilaris platform

▪ RIoTC device management software with integrated MQTT & OTA capabilities

▪ Design, certify and manufacture (factory direct).

▪ $7.5m Digital Mine IoT R&D programs with responsive customization/change capability

▪ Dedicated, professional account management

▪ Full technical and software support

“Choosing the Right Wireless Cap Lamp… also means Choosing the Right Technology Partner” !

Fit for Purpose Technology = RN4E-WB0 Wireless Cordless Cap Lamp

FGM recognized a need to change tack to Roobuck Wireless Cap Lamp technology to meet a more demanding “go forward” specification i.e.

✓ More Future Proof capabilities as standard:

▪ WiFi/BLE

▪ + RFID-NFC (for PPE Kiosk, Asset ID, Theft protection)

▪ + Battery level report

▪ + IMU 9axis movement sensor (+ much more)

▪ + Cisco CCX compliant and AP connection-based tracking

▪ Cater to the changing demands of Safety Regulator compliance
