Investor Relations
Ben Mead will be returning to Australia during April 2010 for a series of investor roadshows, scheduled to
coincide with completion of the upgrade of Australian operations. The roadshow will visit Perth, Adelaide,
Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Geelong and Hobart, and is primarily driven by the desire to introduce
new institutional and retail investors to the MHM business, whilst continuing to strengthen existing
relationships.

Key points IMO:
1) April commissioning
2) Close to determining site for plant construction. That means the contract is a near certainty
3) Engineering and permitting consultants appointed. Same conclusion as point 2.
4) Discussions for govt financial support. How big would that be? If the government supports them and offers concessions they'll also help fast track approvals.

It is certainly starting to come together quickly.
