3 Business Overview Iron bearing product  Sold to Steel Mills
Zinc rich steel industry waste (EAFD) Free ZincOx Recycling Plant Iron bearing product  Sold to Steel Mills (10% Revenue) Zinc bearing product Sold to Zinc Smelters (90% Revenue) Game Changing Technology Global Roll-outs planned First Plant in S. Korea Production ramping up 3

4 Corporate Overview History 95% of zinc comes from sulphide ore deposits ZincOx set up (1998) to develop non-sulphide zinc mines Each one different – bespoke solution Exceptional technical team, >128 years of zinc experience Technology driven but not technology provider Track record in development of game changing technology Modify existing technology, not “black box” Objective: To become the largest and most sustainable zinc recycler Status HQ in Surrey (7 - strategy, finance, etc) Technical support in Belgium (12 - technical and development) Regional offices: USA (5), Thailand (2), Korea (5578) AiM quoted 113 million shares (fully diluted) 4

5 FEED - Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD)
Steel produced by: 1. Reduction of iron ore in Blast Furnaces (e.g.Posco) Recycling scrap in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) Electric Arc Furnaces generate waste Dust (EAFD) Scrap contains steel that is increasingly galvanised (zinc coated) During iron melting zinc is driven off into the EAFD as an oxide Dust contains: zinc: % (average mine: 5-6% zinc) iron: % cadmium, lead: <2% (harmful elements = Hazardous Waste) Korea, strictly controlled  landfill (disposal fee) 5

6 TECHNOLOGY – Rotary Hearth Furnace (RHF)
Based on established (“iron making”) technology modified to optimise for zinc recovery and energy efficiency Unlike existing processes It produces no waste Has more product revenue Double Breakthrough  Environmentally superior  Economically superior (no subsidy required) 6

7 RHF – Feed & Products NO WASTE RHF Zinc Smelter Electric Arc Furnace
HZO Zinc Concentrate 58% zinc + lead + salts Briquettes EAFD (83%) coal (14%) binder (3%) heat gas 27 meters NO WASTE RHF 1,300oC solid ZHBI Iron Product 50% iron 50% slag EAFD Electric Arc Furnace 7

22 Global Roll-Out 22 22

23 Global Opportunity 1/3 of steel produced by recycling scrap EAFD contains zinc, 18-24% (average mine: 5-6% zinc, underground) >6,000,000 tonnes of EAFD produced annually from about 1,000 sites =1.3 MMt Zn pa (zinc production 12 MMt pa) Contains Cd, Pb Hazardous  Landfill or  Recycling. Current technology: less profitable generates waste (no iron product)  needs subsidy (>US$80/t?) Developed countries, landfill expensive  mostly recycled Developing countries, landfill cheap  landfilled 50% of EAFD  landfill (2008) ZincOx’s “game changing” technology works without subsidy. Transforms waste into a resource 23

25 Russian Joint Venture 51% ZincOx
49% Magnezit (Ural Recycling LLC) Major magnesite mine, at Satka (since 1901) Largest refractory producer in FSU 1.5 million tonnes per annum 75% to steel industry, of which 25% to Electric Arc Furnaces Magnezit recognised superiority of ZincOx technology approached ZincOx to form JV visited KRP in May, CEO plus senior management team Work Programme 2012/13 Project Definition 2013/14 Bankable Feasibility Construction Production 25 25
