The Sorby Hills Project provides investors with exposure
to attractive near-term silver production in Australia.
SILVER SNAPSHOT:
AT T H E CROSSROADS OF INDUSTRY & INVESTMENT
INDUSTRIAL DEMAND
Unmatched conductivity makes silver critical for solar panels, EV
electronics and central to the global energy transition.
SUPPLY SQUEEZE
With primary mine output declining, most silver now coming only as a
by-product, and recycling stuck at ~20%, supply cannot keep pace -
entrenching a structural deficit.
VALUE STORAGE & SAFE-HAVEN
As a monetary metal, silver is a store of value, moving with gold
during inflationary or geopolitical uncertainty.
SPECULATIVE KICKER
Gold–silver ratio, investor flows to silver ETFs, and leveragedfutures trading all leading
to amplified volatility - giving silver greater upside torque in bull markets.
Ag
Silver
47
ENDURING DEMAND
A lead-acid battery is typically replaced two to three times in a light
vehicle’s average lifetime of around 12 years supporting a demand tail that
will stretch decades.
INDIAN LEAD DEMAND
Indian consumption of refined lead is forecast to grow 5% YOY through to 2030.
SILVER LINING
High demand for silver bearing lead concentrates is delivering record low
Concentrate Treatment Charges (negative US$65/t)
PRICE STABILITY
A mature secondary market provides a buffer against price shocks, limiting
the Lead price to arelative tight and predictable range.

The contained metal equivalence formula is based on
o Lead Price US$1,875/t; and
o Silver Price US$60.0/oz.
Lead Equivalent Calculations
• Silver recovery of 82% (weighted average of oxide and fresh
Ag recoveries); and
• Silver Payability rate of 95%.
Silver Equivalent Calculations
• Lead recovery of 91% (weighted average of oxide and fresh Pb
recoveries); and
• Lead Payability rate of 95%.

It is Boab’s opinion that all elements included in the metal
equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered
and sold. The formula used to calculate equivalent grade is:
Metal Eq (percent) = Gpri + (Gpri × [∑i Ri Si Vi Gi ]/(Rpri Spri Vpri Gpri))
where R is the respective metallurgical metal recovery rate, S is
the respective smelter return rate, V is metal price/tonne or
ounce, and G is the metal commodity grade for the suite of
potentially recoverable commodities (i) relative to the primary
metal (pri).
Metal equivalents are highly dependent on the metal prices used
to derive the formula. Boab notes that the metal equivalence
method used above is a simplified approach.
Owing to limited metallurgical data, zinc grades are not included at
this stage in the lead equivalent grade calculation.

A 30% increase in Silver price increases NPV from A$411m to A$540m = delta of A$129m
A 30% increase in A$ Silver Price of A$40.3/oz = A$52.4/oz = delta of A$12.1/oz
Change in NPV vs Change in A$ Silver Price = A$129m / A$12.1/oz = A$10.7m/oz
