Limitation on information in relation to SRL
The SRL Information in this presentation - including in relation to SRL's production, resources and reserves, costs, financial information and life of mine plans - has been sourced from information supplied by SRL and its subsidiaries. Whilst steps have been taken to review that information, no representation or warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to its fairness, accuracy, correctness, completeness or adequacy. The information in relation to mining resources for SRL includes Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources, and has been stated by SRL to have been prepared in accordance with the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code for Reporting of Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources, 2012 edition (the JORC Code). The Competent Person's statement for the SRL Information is set out on slide 31 of this presentation.
Reserves and resources reporting of Iluka and SRL
It should be noted that it is a requirement of the Australian Securities Exchange listing rules that the reporting of Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources in Australia comply with the JORC Code While Iluka's Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates comply with the JORC Code, SRL is listed on AIM and as a result the public reporting requirements for SRL are different to those of an ASX listed company which reports in accordance with the JORC Code. If the proposed acquisition is completed, further evaluation work and appropriate studies will be undertaken by Iluka to report the SRL Mineral Resources in in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. It should not be assumed that the quantities reported as "resources" will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that Iluka will be able to legally and economically extract them.
