    ARL on the left, AUZ on the right for ore reserve calculation.
    1.81% Ni Eq, Nickel price ,120/t, Co price 96,000/t.4 - .45% Ni Eq, Nickel price ,841/t, Co price 66,137/t

    spelling it out, ARL uses 30% lower Ni price and 30% higher cobalt price than AUZ, but Ni is 2/3rds our revenue and we apply a cut off grade almost twice as high as AUZ - i.e. if we applied the same standard as AUZ its likely our deposit would look far bigger.

    and then look at resource statements below - look at the pricing AUZ needs to assume to get its deposit size looking bigger than it is economic to mine - has to assume Ni price about 70% higher than ARL and still get the deposit(s) to look as big

    > .5% Ni or > .08% Co. (Note; uses .81% Ni Eq cut off in scoping study on 2.25Mt)NiEq - .4-.55%, assuming
    Nickel – A$27,946/t and 94.8% recovery,
    Cobalt – A$93,153/t and 95.7% recovery.

    Readers can be the judge I think of the significance, noting the vast majority of the revenue for ARL comes from the Ni, and as per the WINNER update coming, the Ni will only become a larger % of our revenue.
