ASX LSE 081025 UFK cover.pdf (277KB)

Attached is Gippsland's announcement relating to the German Government's UFK facility which provides both commercial and political risk cover.

The eligibility of Abu Dabbab for UFK cover reflects the Project's outstanding importance for the Federal Republic of Germany in securing a reliable long term supply of this vitally important strategic metal.

While a UFK facility clearly provides significant direct benefits regarding debt finance, it also serves to provide equity investors with increased confidence in the Project in general.

For your convenience, a plain text version of the announcement is also attached.

Talison - Wodgina closure 081126.pdf (113KB)

Attached is a copy of a Talison Minerals media release relating to the suspension of tantalum production at Wodgina.

Some time ago, I predicted the closure of the Talison Greenbushes tantalum operation and in my various PowerPoint presentations, you will see/hear my reference to the predicted demise of Wodgina. I believe the reference to "market down-turn" in the attached is a distraction in that I consider the prime problem faced by Talison is the ever increasing cost of production at Wodgina. As mentioned in the attached, Talison's Greenbushes tantalum operation has been out of operation for 3 years (due to the high cost of production).

Gippsland's Abu Dabbab definitive feasibility study shows that the project enjoys a low cost of production and a significant revenue stream from the co-production of 1,530 tonnes per year of tin metal. In addition, the Stage 2 production of 1.5 million tonnes of ceramic grade feldspar from the tantalum-tin tailings will boost the project economics significantly. As a result of feldspar production, 80% of all ore mined will become a valuable product for which there is a ready market. We are firmly convinced that Gippsland's Abu Dabbab tantalum-tin project is the only candidate with the capability to reliably fill a 30% supply void.

It is interesting to note that the price of tantalum concentrate has increased steadily during the past year in contrast to most other metals, which have significantly declined in value.

We look forward to providing you with further updates regarding the Abu Dabbab project, which now seems destined to become the world's largest supplier of tantalum feedstock.

Best regards
