The Parks Reef Project
Globally significant project to
cornerstone an Australian PGM industry
The Parks Reef Project
Parks Reef is a globally significant resource
6.0Moz of combined Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir and Au +94kt Cu + 127kt Ni + 24kt Co1
• Australia’s largest Platinum resource (2.9moz of inferred Pt2).
• Located in geopolitically stable, Tier 1 mining jurisdiction with access to
regional infrastructure.
• Mining Licence approved, Native Title granted and Environmental Survey
complete.
• Strategy to deliver Parks Reef as a sustainable and secure Australian
provider of critical platinum group metals for a clean and alternate energy
future.
• Eight metals contained offers a compelling indicative weighted basket price.
