GRAPHITE OPERATIONS - MOZAMBIQUE

Balama North Project

Triton was pleased to achieve the key objective of defining a measured resource at Nicanda Hill in the December 2015 quarter.

The total Mineral Resource estimate comprises 1.44 Billion Tonnes (Bt) at an average grade of 11.1% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) and 0.29% Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) classified as either Measured Mineral Resources, Inferred Mineral Resources or Indicated Mineral Resources in accordance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code, 2012 Edition).

As announced by the Company on 13 November 2015, positive exploration and metallurgical progress was achieved and included:

- Initial drilling program completed at Nicanda West,

- Significant graphite mineralisation confirmed by drilling including:

- 108m at 5.1%TGC from 2 to 110m end of hole (EOH) in GBNC0095,

- 197.5m at 4.6%TGC from 2.5 to 200m EOH in GBND0059 (almost entire length of hole).

- Selective zones within mineralised graphite envelope average up to 12.9%TGC,

- Graphite mineralisation dominated by large to jumbo flake,

- Style of graphite deposit is unique in the Balama North Region with similarities to Ancuabe,

- Nicanda West material achieves battery-specification grade of 97.7%TGC through simple flotation processes in concentrate production cycle,

- >52% of flake >150?m??13%>300?m? - optimization of flotation process continues,

- Nicanda West large-flake deposit developing as ideal complement to the Nicanda Hill deposit.

Ancuabe Project

As announced by the Company on 20 November 2015, positive exploration and metallurgical progress continued and included:

- Significant graphite mineralisation confirmed by drilling from surface to vertical depths of 105m,

- Graphite mineralisation intersected in every hole completed at T12 Prospect,

- Mineralisation dominated by jumbo flake graphite (>300?m), with 43% of the graphite flakes recovered being greater than 500?m (super jumbo),

- T16 graphite discovery located 4km east of T12 confirms mineralisation extends over a 5km strike length,

- Completion of airborne LIDAR survey (Light Detection and Ranging) in co-operation with AMG Graphit Kropfmühl (GK),

- GK undertook a site visit to Triton's Ancuabe Project.
