29 July 2016

King Island Scheelite Limited (Company) is pleased to present its activity report for the quarter ended 30 June 2016.

Environmental Approvals

After detailed discussions with King Island Council , they advised that "it is Council's opinion the amendments discussed, and demonstrated in your plans(KIS), are adequately covered by the conditions contained in the existing planning permit (DA 26/0506) and the proposal does not generate any requirements for a new planning permit."

Additional studies are currently being undertaken to ensure that the Environmental Effects Report to be submitted to EPA incorporates the most up to date data. It is anticipated that this report will be submitted during the current quarter ended September 2016 with approvals being granted prior to 31 December 2106.

Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS")

Work continued on the consolidation of recent studies into a Definitive Feasibility Study. This work can only be completed when the final environmental approvals have been obtained.

Pit Pumping

Consistent with our previous plans, the inflow of water from predominantly rain water runoff, is being managed with the installed smaller pump utilized on a regular basis to maintain a consistent water level in the sump. After a relatively dry second calendar quarter, heavy rains were experienced in July, however the pumping coped adequately to keep water levels in check.

APT Market

APT (Ammonium ParaTungstate) is the product used as a benchmark price for the sale of WO3concentrate, as it is regularly quoted in industry journals. After reaching nine-year lows late in 2015 and remaining depressed through the first quarter of 2016, the price of APT has improved slightly in the June quarter. The average price for the March quarter was US$17,100 per tonne (A$23,600 per tonne) with the average for the June quarter US$20,300 per tonne (A$27,300 per tonne).

This trend unfortunately reversed during July with current APT prices trading at US$19,000 per tonne (A$25,800 per tonne).

Although this price is above our anticipated production costs, financing the project - both debt and equity - would be extremely difficult and risky. The major impact on the market has been from the drop in specialty steel demand.
