Market Opportunity

6

The increasing use of Lithium Ion batteries (Li B’s) as the storage of electricity for power electric vehicles (EV’s) and domestic and industrial generated electricity has resulted in a surge in demand for the minerals contained in batteries: lithium, graphite, cobalt and nickel:

The prices for these minerals have risen and shortage of supply

is expected

Anson aims to take advantage of this opportunity and has

identified projects that can be developed to supply the growth

expected

Graphite Project - Location

7

500km from Perth, 130km from the port of Geraldton

Historic mining area in one of

the world’s leading mining

states

Majority Crown land

Existing infrastructure

Skilled mining workforce and

contractors within close

proximity

No fly-in, fly-out workforce

costs

Graphite Project - Geology

High grade metamorphism

with hydrothermal

alteration

Graphite schist within a

Proterozoic Gneiss

Similar to Tanzanian

graphite deposits

Samples indicate graphitic

schist up to 42.3% total

graphitic carbon (TGC)

Graphite Project – Drilling Program

9

Drill targets based on:

Historical drill logs

and data

Lithium Project - Highlights

11

Lithium concentrations up to 1,700ppm in nearby historic wells

Super-saturated brines with 40% dissolved solids

Associated high grade products (Boron, Bromine, Iodine)

Claims cover Roberts Rupture which cuts Clastic Zone 31 (contains Lithium brines)

Depths between 1,080 and 2,400m

Clastic Zone 31 contains a blanket-type brine aquifer in the Crane Creek Anticline-Kings Bottom Syncline area

Brine under significant pressure

Higher temperatures (145 degrees fahrenheit) than would be expected at those depths

Historic wells (high Li) penetrated Roberts Rupture structure

Lithium Project - Location

12

Location:

Grand County Utah, USA

15km west of Moab

4km northwest of operating potash mine

11 hr drive to Tesla Giga-factory
