HIGHLIGHTS

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company made significant progress:

• The Company completed a series of industrial scale ceramic proppant production trials in China that began in Q3 2016. Initial results have been very encouraging with independent recognised US laboratory testwork confirming a superior product. Further trials are scheduled in 2017 to validate these initial results and to have product available for market trials.
  
  
• The Company installed and commissioned a second-hand trommel wash plant as an added step in the bauxite ore beneficiation process. An ore washing and bagging production campaign commenced during the quarter for the further industrial scale ceramic proppant production trials scheduled in 2017.
  
  
• The Company continued to assess potential strategic opportunities to utilise idled ceramic proppant production capacity in the USA. The Company continued developing market information for ultra high-strength ceramic proppants, with an emphasis for use in deepwater offshore wells.
  
  
• The Company began discussions on options to refinance or extend its existing debt obligations.
