Highlights:Ngualla Project Bankable Feasibility Study on trackf Further key work programs were successfully completed during the quarter and detailed
engineering studies are well advanced.
f The Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) is on track for completion late in the first quarter or early
in the second quarter of 2017.
Final Pilot Plant successfully completedf The third and final Pilot Plant campaign was successfully completed, confirming the feasibility
of Peak’s three stage processing flowsheet and providing valuable engineering data for the BFS.
f The Pilot Plant demonstrated the selective leach recovery stage flowsheet to be robust,
delivering high recoveries (>90%) of the target magnet metals neodymium and praseodymium
(“NdPr”) along with low dissolution of cerium and gangue elements.
f The selective leach process is a key factor in Ngualla’s low operating and capital costs and
aligns the final products to the high demand magnet metal rare earth market.
Rare Earth refinery site selected in United Kingdomf Following an extensive global search Peak has selected Tees Valley in the UK as the location for
a rare earth refinery.
f Tees Valley, an existing industrial park close to ports and bulk low cost reagent supplies also
offers “plug and play” utilities including environmentally sustainable options for tailings and
effluent disposal.
Engagement with potential strategic partnersf The Company continued to proactively engage with a number of potential strategic partners.
This included but was not limited to evaluating potential additional routes to market to provide
the Company with maximum flexibility and options related to today’s market environment.

Bankable Feasibility Study on track
Detailed engineering studies for the Ngualla Rare Earth Project are well advanced and the BFS remains on track for completion
late in the first quarter or early in the early second quarter of 2017.
Key work programs successfully completed during the December 2016 Quarter included the third and final Pilot Plant
campaign on the important selective leach recovery process, and the selection of a site in the Tees Valley industrial park in
the United Kingdom for a rare earth refinery. Remaining work programs to be finalised in coming weeks include the
receipt of final pricing data for some major plant and equipment components, results from metallurgical variability
confirmation programs for the successive phases of mining and access road engineering and costings.
Final Pilot Plant CompletePeak announced the successful completion of the final Pilot Plant of the Company’s three stage process (Figure 1) in
October 2016, confirming the preliminary results reported in the September 2016 Quarterly report.

The Leach Recovery Pilot Plant uses the selective leach process developed by Peak and summarised in Figure 2.
Two tonnes of concentrate with a grade of >40% rare earth oxide (REO) produced during the successful Beneficiation Pilot
Plant program completed at the end of 2015 was sent to ANSTO’s dedicated piloting facility near Sydney.
Final results received during the Quarter from the processing of the concentrate via the roast, water wash and selective leach
stages show extraction of >90% of the targeted NdPr whilst minimising cerium and iron extraction (Figure 3).
The subsequent purification (Figure 4) resulted in a high grade, high purity rare earth solution suitable for direct feed to a
solvent extraction (SX) separation circuit.

Ancillary thickening and filtration test programs were also completed by vendors on a series of samples during the pilot plant
operation to collect data for engineering design, equipment selection and cost estimations. Waste characterisation test
work was also undertaken according to European standard procedures and confirmed all plant solid wastes are classified as
stable and non-reactive.
The selective leach process is a key factor in Ngualla’s low operating and capital costs and in aligning the final products to the
high demand magnet metal rare earth market. Reagent costs are significantly reduced by minimising the dissolution of impurities
and low value cerium whilst maximising the recovery of the high value magnet metals neodymium and praseodymium. The
depleted cerium stream reporting to separation reduces the size, and therefore cost, of the downstream SX separation circuit.
The selective leach recovery flow sheet (Figure 2) also has advantages over other processes in that it reduces operational risk.
The kiln design and operation is simple as the roasting stage is dry and acid free. The leaching process uses a low strength
hydrochloric acid at modest temperatures, which can be undertaken in low cost fibreglass reinforced plastic tanks. The final
stage of purification is accomplished by simple pH control using lime slurry followed by thickening and filtering to remove
dissolved impurities prior to SX separation. Essentially, the entire circuit after roasting uses standard industry equipment
consisting of plastic tanks, pumps and filters.
European Rare Earth Refinery site selection
After an extensive worldwide location search completed with input from consultants Worley Parsons, Deloitte and AmecFW, Peak
has selected a site for its proposed Rare Earth Refinery at Tees Valley on the north east coast of the United Kingdom. The main
focus for the study was on operating and capital costs, which are primarily driven by the availability of bulk lower cost reagents
A location with ready access to cheap
bulk reagent supplies (particularly
hydrochloric acid and caustic soda),
global shipping, readily available
power, water, environmentally
sustainable options for tailings disposal
and a skilled work force is essential to
be cost competitive.
Wilton International Site in Tees Valley
near the town of Middlesbrough in
the United Kingdom is a large scale
industrial park offering a “plug and play”
option (Figures 5 and 6) with existing
access to reliable competitively priced
power, utilities and services. Wilton
is the planned home of UK listed
Sirius Minerals Plc’s US $237 million
materials handling and port facility
for its polyhalite fertiliser project.
Wilton is also located within 3km of
the Teesport, a deep water port where
the rare earth mineral concentrate will
be shipped, and close to a number of
facilities that are capable of managing
the tailings from the process.
The major operating costs of the Refinery are reagents. The current cost of hydrochloric acid at Tees Valley, our primary
reagent, is approximately 40% below the indexed cost seen in the gulf coast of the United States over the past 5 years.
Likewise, the competitive local cost for utilities including power, steam, water and natural gas also make this site attractive.

Peak, through its majority owned associated company Peak African Minerals has agreed an option fee of £60,000 for a
24 month option agreement to purchase the 16.3 hectare site with the United Kingdom’s Homes and Communities Agency.
A consultant has been appointed to assist with the preparation and submission of the planning application for the selected
site. An ecological survey has been completed over the preferred site, where no major ecological concerns were observed.
Engagement with potential strategic partnersThe Company is evaluating a number of options from direct sale of rare earth concentrate, toll treatment through third
party facilities as well as the base case of the establishment of a refinery in Tees Valley.
To this end, the Company continued to proactively engage with a number of potential strategic partners during the Quarter.
Joint technical evaluation of these options is continuing, with follow up discussions expected to take place in the second
quarter of 2017.
China to restrict rare earth production, refining and raw material exports
In response to China’s 13th Five Year Plan, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on 18th October 2016
released the Rare Earth Industry Development Plan (2016-2020). Key targets set to be achieved by 2020 include:
f restriction of rare earth mining output to no more than 140,000 tonnes REO per year
f no new mining rights to be issued to companies other than the selected six State Owned Enterprises
f total China solvent extraction refining capacity to be cut by 33% to 200,000 tonnes REO per year
f rare earth industry profit margins to increase 12 percent
f increase high end downstream rare earth product market penetration from 25% to 50%
f improve environmental compliance from 40% to 90% for rare earth operations
f reduce export of primary rare earth raw materials from 57% to 30% of total Chinese rare earth export
Combined with the demand drivers for the magnet metals neodymium and praseodymium of increased automobile
electrification and green energy generation, these internal China policies and the targeted expansion of high value downstream
industry applications may well lead to China becoming a net importer of NdPr by 2025.
A component of China’s Rare Earth Industry Development Plan (2016-2020) is to encourage the use and development
of offshore rare earth resources and strengthen international co-operation.

Ngualla Project PermittingThe Company continues to advance the permitting
process for the Ngualla Rare Earth Project in
Tanzania. The final step in the application
process (Figure 7) for an Environmental Certificate,
the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
(ESIA) Report, was completed and the report
submitted to the Tanzanian regulators National
Environmental Management Council in December.
Community Programs
The Company places great importance on the
active and positive relationship it maintains with
the communities in which it operates and is
committed to assisting with the improvement of
those communities whilst maintaining best practise
environmental management.
Prior to the closure of the Ngualla camp for the rainy
season in December 2016, the Company handed
over community projects completed during the year.
These projects had been identified as the highest
priority by the local Community and District earlier in
the year. The handover ceremony was attended by
the Songwe District Commissioner, the Honourable
Mr Samwel Jeremiah (Figure 8).
Individual works completed during 2016 included the rehabilitation of an Ngwala Primary School teacher’s house and the
construction of a pair of new teachers houses (Figure 9) at the Ngwala Magereza (sub village) Primary School and assistance
with the rehabilitation of parts of the Ngwala village water supply system. Additional projects completed in 2016 included
maintenance and improvements to the village airstrip and the provision of storage facilities for medicines at the Ngwala village
dispensary. The Company also sponsored the Farmers Day Sports Tournament and made a contribution of 1,300 corrugated
iron sheets for Regional education construction projects.
