Accounts for 85-90% of Sierra Rutile's annual rutile production. Industrial Grade Rutile (IGR), well suited to high quality flux core wire welding applications due to its high packing density and low contaminant level. High-grade chloride ilmenite, suitable for direct chlorination into titanium dioxide pigment and transformation into titanium slag. Key Supplier to the titanium dioxide feedstock market TiO2 Pigment Paint, paper, plastics, inks, coatings - 90% of titanium dioxide is used as pigment Titanium Metal Aircraft frames and engines, medical Natural Rutile - The Superior Feedstock Titanium feedstocks are a US$4bn+ industry dominated by lower grade and more energy-intensive synthetic rutile and titanium slag products. Natural rutile is the highest grade form of titanium feedstock, containing 95% TiO2 by weight, making it the preferred raw ingredient for the cleaner, greener chloride pigment production process. Benefits of Sierra Rutile's natural rutile: ▲ Fewer contaminants; generating high value-in-use ▲ Higher TiO2 content means less ore is required (reducing freight) and less waste is generated ▲ Lower chlorine/petcoke consumption and higher chlorinator utilisation ▲ Reduced energy/carbon consumption Zircon-in-concentrate by-product and sporting goods, industrial applications Welding Steel fabrication, ship building, pipes, construction, transport Sierra Rutile Investor Presentation | ASX: SRX A ZIC sells at approximately 25% of zircon price. 2 shipments per annum in high demand.#5Market Dynamics: Fundamentals Intact Rutile is the highest-grade titanium dioxide feedstock, and the most sought-after material for various downstream applications Sierra Rutile Titanium is used everywhere Titanium is irreplaceable Titanium Titanium demand is accelerating demands rutile feedstock From paint to plastics to metal applications, products containing Titanium last longer, and are stronger, lighter, more durable and more UV resistant. Titanium metal's strength to weight ratio is unmatched for aerospace, automotive, medical and military applications. Demand over the next five years is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 2.8% (expected to reach 9.82 million TiO2units by 2026)1 Titanium is not available naturally. It must first be mined and then processed. Natural rutile is arguably the best natural source for manufacturing TiO2 pigment or producing titanium metal.

Project Finance with onerous covenants and reserve accounts. 12#13Area 1 Sierra Rutile Investor Presentation | ASX: SRX Sierra Rutile 13#14Established Cashflow From Area 1 Established operation positioned to deliver value and support transition to Sembehun Overview ▲ Over 50 years in operation and ~2,200 local employees/contractors. ▲ 2022 JORC reserves showed increase from 38.2Mt to 40.7Mt despite mining depletion of 10.4Mt primarily due to new reserves totalling 9.2Mt at Pejebu and Ndendemoia. ▲ Focused on maximising cashflows from existing operations and ensuring operational continuity through to Sembehun commissioning. Assets ▲ Four wet concentrator plants (WCPs) producing mineral concentrate with feed capacity of 500-600tph. ▲ Mineral concentrate is processed in the mineral separation plant (MSP), which includes a feed preparation plant and dry plant. The MSP has capacity to produce 175ktpa of rutile. ▲ Products are exported through Nitti Port facilities situated in the Area 1 mining lease. ▲ MSP and Area 1 infrastructure have minimal book value but would have substantial replacement cost. These assets will be leveraged across Sembehun development. Note: (1) Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource estimate as at 31 December 2022.

In June the Company suffered premature bearing failures on two generators whilst another was undergoing a planned major overhaul leaving power capacity below that required for full production. Given current weaker market conditions, Sierra Rutile opted to prioritise HMC production over rutile production for the time being. In addition to increased HMC stocks generated recently while MSP remains idled, substantial ore stockpiles were established in advance of the wet season. Gangama tidal bund construction completed. Sierra Leone contractor, Mano Mining, was awarded the DM1/4 mining contract and has commenced at site. Government of Sierra Leone is seeking to renegotiate the terms of the Area 1 fiscal regime set out in the Third Amendment Agreement. A Any changes to the fiscal arrangement require Sierra Rutile's agreement, and dialogue will be entered into during Q3. DM4 WCP, Sierra Leone Sierra Rutile Investor Presentation | ASX: SRX 15#16Drilling Continues at Area 1 Activities at Pejebu, Ndendemoia and Mogbwemo Dredge Pond Sierra Rutile Drilling and Resource/Reserve estimation continue at Ndendemoia and Pejebu deposits. 255 holes drilled at Pejebu with a further 80 holes planned. The findings from Pejebu and earlier drilling at Ndendemoia will be incorporated into a new Resource Statement to be finalised in Q3. Sierra Rutile is investigating draining the Mogbwemo pond and mining the tailings to supplement the MSP's feed. Investigations have included plant scale test work, initial resource drilling, baseline environmental monitoring, and discussions around the design, manufacture and supply of a modular, relocatable spiral plant suitable for this material. Some additional Resources expected to be declared in July 2023 with full Reserve targeted for early 2024. If investigations are successful, construction of a relocatable modular spiral plant to treat the Mogbweno tailings could commence in early 2024, with commissioning a few months later.

A Some recent price moderation after record highs. US pigment producers experienced TiO2 sales down 30% YoY and have been operating production facilities at reduced rates. Natural Rutile Supply Outlook¹ Global Rutile Supply 800 Longer term global supply deficit anticipated as growing demand outstrips depleting global resources. 700 Demand for natural rutile is supported by its high grade and low impurity characteristics. Chloride feedstock consumption for pigment anticipated to grow at CAGR of 4.4% from 2022 to 2025, compared to a -2.8% CAGR for sulphate feedstocks over the same period. Fundamentals remain intact with Sierra Rutile's annual production back- weighted towards H2 2023. Sierra Rutile will seek to leverage market presence and long and established relationships with all primary chloride-based titanium pigment manufacturers, and the world's largest producers of high- specification aircraft-quality (aerospace) titanium sponge.

A stable democracy for over 22 years, it is the 5th safest country in Africa¹. Significant distance from Sahel instability impacting larger West African neighbours. Moderate annual economic growth, with agriculture and mining representing key contributors to the country's exports, GDP and employment. Sierra Rutile is the country's largest mining operation with an established operating history of more than 50 years. Other mining activities in Sierra Leone focussed on diamonds, bauxite and gold. With a population of 7.5 million², Sierra Leone's economy is relatively small overall so, with ~2,200 direct employees and another ~ 800 contractors, Sierra Rutile plays a critical role economically as one of the largest private sector employers. 24#25Relative cash/asset backing of SRX and selected peers Sierra Rutile trades below Net Cash + Working Capital per share, and well below Net Assets 50 Sierra Rutile 40 40 30 30 20 20 Cents per share 10 -10 27 22 16 -20 Strandline Resources Base Resources HY 31Dec22 HY 31Dec22 44 19 46 46 5.3 Sovereign Metals HY 31Dec22 Image Resources 31Dec22 FY Sheffield Resources HY 31Dec22 Mineral Commodities FY 31Dec22 Share Price (cents) I Net Cash Working Capital Net Assets Note: Working Capital = trade & other receivables + inventories - trade & other payables Share Price as of 28 June 2023 Sierra Rutile Investor Presentation | ASX: SRX О 24 Sierra Rutile FY 31 Dec22 25#26Peer Comparison Data Financial data used in peer comparison (AUD) Strandline Resources Base Resources Sovereign Metals Image Resources Sheffield Resources Mineral Commodities Sierra Rutile Cash and cash equivalent 66,653,817 88,761,425 11,109,198 53,455,000 25,499,500 1,685,001 55,639,464 Working capital - 17,665,278 102,282,549 - 1,194,389 7,798,000 - 11,066,500 17,814,919 88,510,624 Net asset 169,569,674 520,612,716 17,636,844 116,197,000 151,951,000 69,681,499 199,218,611 Debt 187,449,562 197,000 35,803,500 10,697,641 No. of shares on issue 1,252,888,665 1,178,011,850 470,875,023 1,071,263,590 346,054,761 535,490,634 424,236,447 at reporting date Net cash (-debt) - 120,795,745 88,761,425 11,109,198 53,258,000 - 10,304,000 - 9,012,640 55,639,464 Net cash plus working capital - 138,461,023 191,043,974 9,914,809 61,056,000 - 21,370,500 8,802,279 144,150,088 Net cash/per share -0.096 0.075 0.024 0.050 -0.030 -0.017 0.131 Net cash+working -0.111 0.162 0.021 0.057 -0.062 0.016 0.340 capital/per share Net asset / per share 0.135 0.442 0.037 0.108 0.439 0.130 0.470 Reference Sierra Rutile References: ASX announcement Strandline Resources Interim Financial Report ASX announcement Base Resources FY23 Half Year Results ASX announcement Sovereign Metals Half Yearly Report and Accounts ASX announcement Image Resources Annual Report to Shareholders ASX announcement Sheffield Resources Half Yearly Report and Accounts ASX announcement Mineral Commodities Appendix 4E: Preliminary Final Report ASX announcement Sierra Rutile Appendix 4E and Annual Financial Report Note: BSE, MRC & SRX report in USD FX (USDvsAUD) 1.4753 reporting date FX HY 31Dec22 HY 31Dec22 HY 31Dec22 FY 31Dec22 HY31Dec22 FY31Dec22 FY31Dec22 Sierra Rutile Investor Presentation | ASX: SRX Sheffield includes take up of 50% JV interest in Kimberley mineral Sands Pty Ltd JV 26#27Important Notices and Disclaimer Sierra Rutile Forward looking statements Certain statements in or in connection with this announcement contain or comprise forward looking statements.
