1 Amania Mining Company Bakhud Fluorite Project

2 Introduction Amania Mining Company, an Afghan mining company established in 2010, has quickly established itself with a proven track record of performance Bakhud Fluorite Deposit was licensed to Amania Mining for the exploration and exploitation of Afghanistan s biggest fluorspar deposit Since its formation, Amania Mining is one of the first companies to invest in the extractive industries and infrastructure development of Afghanistan and as a result establishing itself as a leader in the sector and in the country. Amania is also dedicated to the social welfare and development of the Afghan people and as such it has funded social welfare projects in Bakhud Afghanistan where little economic aid had reached the region and created hundreds of jobs not only in the Kabul, but also in the very remote rural parts of the country

3 Introduction Cont d Amania Mining has invested in equipment and manpower to back the fast paced development of the mine between 2013 and This includes the purchasing of Mining Equipment, Processing Machinery, Laboratory R&D Equipment, and employing renowned geologists, engineers and management expertise With our dedication and hard work Amania Mining has become one the few Mining Companies in Afghanistan to generate revenue for the government during a troubled recession and operate the mine with international best practices and standards.

4 Text Geology Bakhud Fluorite Deposit holds calculated ore resource of up to 8.7 Million Metric Tons

5 Bakhud License Area Amania Mining started the exploration of Bakhud License Area in May, 2013 Base camp, water wells, access roads and other facilities where developed along with exploration work Team of geologists started from validating all historical Soviet data, updating geological maps and collecting geological data and developed own exploration plan which was executed and completed in The team started their exploration first from southern block as it is easily accessible, then moved to Eastern, Western and Northern blocks.

6 Historic Data Validation

7 Property Description The leased area of Bakhud Property is Square Kilometers Mineral occurrences consist of numerous almost flat lying thin bedded, irregular, lenticular and tabular fluorite beds with large barren zones between them Bakhud Fluorite Deposit is divided in four blocks namely Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Blocks

8 Eastern Block The ore body in Eastern Block is 2500 meters long and 50 to 200 meters wide. The fluoritic quartz ore body is 3.10 meters thick with 39.32% CaF2.

9 Eastern Block Resource Table Text

10 Western Block In the western segment of the Western Block, the ore body is 800 meters long and between 60 meters and 300 meters wide In other segments of the Western Block the ore bodies are smaller with a maximum length of 300 meters, the width range between and 100 meters In some opening the ore body is 0.25 to 8.7 meters thick with 15% to 91.30% CaF2

11 Text Western Block Resource Table

12 Northern Block The ore body in Northern block varies from 1.25 meters to 9.5 meters The industrial grade ore body s thickness varies between 0.6 meters to 5.1 meters. In various openings the fluorite content ranges between 13.89% to 63.75%

13 Text Northern Block Resource Table

14 Southern Block In Southern Block the natural outcrops and in the openings the ore body has been traced along the strike length of 700 meters Total length of the ore body is 500 meters and it is 10 to 200 meters wide and 0.3 to 5.3 meters thick assaying 17.95% to 90.18% CaF2

19 Diamond Core Drilling During 1970s about meters drilling was done by USSR for getting subsurface data to prepare crosssection and resource estimation Amania Mining started drilling for verification of previous data and filling gaps Drilling in Bakhud Fluorite Deposit started by Amania Mining in December 2013, by November 2014 a total of 26 holes were drilled with a depth of meters

20 Text Core Samples All samples used in the resource estimation were derived from diamond drill core. Various rigs and core sizes have been used during the exploration phase. The holes used in the estimate were generally of NQ diameter.

24 Text Mining Amania Mining is equipped with mining machinery and assets capable of mining 1000 MT of raw ore in one day

25 Mining Methods In Bakhud Fluorite Project open pit mining method is adopted which is conducted using following methods: 1. Mining with HEMMs 2. Manual Mining

26 Factors that allow open cast/open pit/open cut mining Less overburden to handle Average thickness of ore varies from 2 to 3 meters The terrain ranges from flat to steep Very hilly formation Strip ratio is very less Formation of the deposit is nearly on the surface Less hauling distance Excavation of the ore is technically viable

28 Mining Operation Flow Chart 1. Top Soil Removal 2. Mine Development 3. Haul Road Formation 4. Excavation of ROM to form Bench with proper parameters 5. Formation of Quarries 6. Hauling of ROM to Stockpile 7. Systematically Stocking for Blending 8. ROM feeding to Crush Plant and Processing Plant 9. Sampling and Quality Control 10. Mine Reclamation

31 Text Processing and Metallurgy Amania Mining Produces 200 MT/Day of Metspar with a planned production of 300 MT/Day Acidspar

32 Fluorspar is marketable by two methods of processing: 1. Crushing and Hand Sorting which will produce Metallurgical Grade Fluorite ranging from 80% to 90% CaF2 2. Floatation and Gravity Concentration to upgrade the raw ore to Acid Grade assaying 97% CaF2

33 Wash Plant

34 Production of Metallurgical Grade Fluorite The Fluorite from the ROM (Run of Mine) usually averages at about 45% CaF2 Manual hand sorting takes place for preparation of ore to be fed to the crush plant Hand sorted ore is fed to the Crush Plant and is crushed to specific sizes demanded by customers (10-40mm, 20-50mm, 20-40mm, 20-60mm) The sizes are controlled by vibrator screens installed to the crush plant and each size is carried to the packing floor by conveyor belts. While crushing, washing of the ore also takes place simultaneously to remove impurities and upgrade the CaF2 content To ensure quality, our QA/QC department takes representative samples before and after crushing to be analyzed in our in-house laboratory for quality assurance The output grade is usually demand based. The grades produced are 80%, 85% and 90% CaF2

35 Text Crush Plant Production The produced fluorspar is packed in 1 ton PP Jumbo bags for export
