#1or personal use only agrimin Investor Presentation December 2016 LISILO ON X XEX STOCK ASX | AMN#2Important Notices and Disclaimers agrimin Nature of Document This presentation has been prepared as a summary only, and does not contain all information about Agrimin Limited's ("Agrimin" or "the Company") assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses, prospects, and the rights and liabilities attaching to Agrimin's securities. This presentation includes information extracted from the Company's ASX Release entitled Positive Scoping Study for the Mackay SOP Project released on 23 August 2016. The Company's ASX Releases are available at www.asx.com.au. The securities issued by Agrimin are considered speculative and there is no guarantee that they will make a return on the capital invested, that dividends will be paid on the shares or that there will be an increase in the value of the shares in the future. Agrimin does not purport to give financial or investment advice. No account has been taken of the objectives, financial situation or needs of any recipient of this presentation. Recipients of this presentation should carefully consider whether the securities issued by Agrimin are an appropriate investment for them in light of their personal circumstances, including their financial and taxation position. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements which may not have been based solely on historical facts, but rather may be based on the Company's current expectations about future events and results. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information includes exchange rates; the proposed production plan; projected brine concentrations and recovery rates; uncertainties and risks regarding the estimated capital and operating costs; uncertainties and risks regarding the development timeline, including the need to obtain the necessary approvals. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company's Annual Reports, as well as the Company's other ASX Releases. Readers of this presentation should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by the Company that the matters stated in this presentation will be achieved or prove to be correct. Recipients of this presentation must make their own investigations and inquiries regarding all assumptions, risks, uncertainties and contingencies which may affect the future operations of the Company or the Company's securities. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Investor Presentation | December 2016 2#3Important Notices and Disclaimers agrimin Scoping Study Parameters - Cautionary Statement The Scoping Study results, production target and forecast financial information referred to in this Presentation are based on low accuracy level technical and economic assessments that are insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage. Of the Mineral Resources scheduled for extraction in the Scoping Study's production plan, approximately 95% are Indicated Mineral Resources and 5% are Inferred Mineral Resources. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or the eventual conversion to Ore Reserves or that the production target itself will be realised. S The consideration of all JORC modifying factors is sufficiently progressed. Hydrogeological studies and process studies support material operating assumptions. Engineering studies support capital and operating cost estimates and are based on standard extraction and processing techniques. Discussions with third party infrastructure providers are underway. Environmental baseline studies and Native Title negotiations are progressing and no social, environmental, legal or regulatory impediments to development have been identified. The Company has concluded it has a reasonable basis for providing the forward-looking statements included in this Presentation and believes it has a reasonable basis to expect it will be able to fund the development of the Project upon successful delivery of key development milestones. The detailed reasons for these conclusions, and material assumptions on which the forecast financial information is based, are disclosed in the Company's ASX Release entitled Positive Scoping Study for the Mackay SOP Project released on 23 August 2016. Additionally, the assumptions for the Mineral Resources are disclosed in the Company's ASX Release entitled Mackay Project Resource Update and Path to Production released on 15 December 2015. JORC Code (2012) Compliance Statement The information in this presentation that relates to Mackay SOP Project is extracted from the ASX Release entitled Positive Scoping Study for the Mackay SOP Project released on 23 August 2016. The information in this presentation that relates to exploration results and Mineral Resources is extracted from the ASX Release entitled Mackay Project Resource Update and Path to Production released on 15 December 2015. The Company's ASX Releases are available at www.asx.com.au. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the abovementioned ASX Releases, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the abovementioned ASX Releases continue to apply and have not materially changed. The company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings that are presented have not been materially modified from the abovementioned ASX Releases.
