MAP SHOWING PROJECT LOCATION
HISTORY OF PROJECT AREA
Tellus evaluated six salt provinces in geological basins across Australia before selecting the Amadeus
Basin in Central Australia as the most suitable. The 500 million year old Chandler salt bed is 18km
wide, 700-800m deep, 200-300m thick and is a world class salt deposit. Drill Hole CH003 hit the top
of the salt at 772m. Coring and analysis showed 2 minable layers of high grade salt.
The project area leases have had 145 kilometres of seismic (15 lines), 6,600 meter core drilling (two
core wells) and about $A6.5 million of historic oil and gas spend. This is a high-grade salt deposit that
post processing (dry and wet) can produce 98%+ halite (NaCl) which will be sold as industrial and
edible salts. The leases are right next to the Adelaide to Darwin railway line that will take the salt to
Darwin for export into Asia.

CURRENT PROJECT STATUS
Tellus has completed a definitive feasibility study (FEL 2 Update) with support from 22 specialist
consulting companies from five countries, for a 0.5-1 million tonnes per annum (tpa) underground rock
salt mine with complementary storage businesses with an initial mine life of 29 years.
Key feasibility study results:
x
x
x
x
x
x
x
309 Million tonne Halite (NaCl) JORC Measured Resource = 525 year mine life
Simple mining techniques with local mining service provides - underground, room and pillar
design, continuous miner mining methodology
The project is technically and economical feasible with robust project economics
Proven and tested business model. Globally there are over 150 projects and under 500 salt
cavern/ mines, Chandler will be the first Australian underground rock salt mine
Supply chain (32 km haul road from mine to railway siding, train to Darwin port, then ship to
Asia), new build remote area 7MW power station (diesel/solar), local aquifers for water supply
No fatal flaws, broad community and stakeholder support
Clear regulatory framework
Approvals progress
x
x
Mine Management Plan Exploration Operations granted, Safety Plan – approved. Exploration
Deed signed with Traditional Owners (through the Central Land Council), sacred site clearance
application granted
Tellus has lodged a Notice of Intent with the NT Government in mid-November 2012 that has
Updated September 2014

formally started the environmental approvals process with the NT and Federal Governments.
Draft EIS Guidelines have been issued in August 2013. Tellus has commenced baseline
studies for the EIS and the lodgement of the Mining Lease Application is imminent.
Feasibility study progress
x
x
x
x
Tellus completed Definitive Feasibility Study Stage 1 (DFS 1) which included mine planning,
drilling an additional 1,937m, analysing 370 samples, FEL 2 - Update engineering, maiden
JORC Resource statement, conceptual mine design update and a GO/NO GO decision
Geology, hydrogeology, fauna/ flora, Social Impact Assessment, community engagement,
storage/disposal regulatory framework
Site visits to other salt mines in Canada, UK and Germany
Planning for stage two DFS 2.
PROPOSED FUTURE ACTIVITIES
x
x
x
x
Definitive Feasibility Study Stage 2 (DFS 2) comprising mine planning, additional cored salt
holes, decline holes, water monitoring holes, 3D seismic, dry and wet salt pilot project, FEL 3
engineering, resource and reserve statement updates, detailed mine design
Site visits by potential customers and negotiate commercial agreements
Get all approvals and finance in place before mine build
Final investment decision
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Tellus plans to have approvals in place and start construction within 15 months, storage sales
by Q3 2016 and salt sales by Q4 2018
Tellus is identifying potential parties to assist in the development of the supply chain, financing
and potential off take parties for the 0.5-1M tpa industrial and edible salts and associated
minerals.

is potentially Australia’s largest underground rock salt deposit with high grade salt and minerals
production can meet growing demand in Asia
existing suppliers are at near capacity and it is increasingly difficult to get planning approval for
large 10-20,000 hectare solar evaporative ponds, but easier for underground mines
the proposed mine would not be affected by wet weather events, such as cyclones which
impact heavily on many coastal solar salt producers – Tellus will be a reliable supplier
the proposed mine is on the Adelaide to Darwin Railway, so the salt can be railed to Darwin
(closest port to Asia) and shipped to Asia
once operational, will be able to guarantee long term stability and supply and can scale up
easily – depending on demand
