The project
ASX: GBE | FWB: G4U | globemm.com
Kanyika Niobium Project
Malawi, Africa
Malawi, in southeastern Africa, offers stable investment
opportunities, notably in mining, backed by transparent
regulations and abundant mineral resources like niobium,
uranium, and rare earth minerals.
The new mining ministry demonstrates skills in technical
expertise, regulatory compliance, project and stakeholder
management, risk, financial management, communication,
and problem-solving.
Politically, Malawi enjoys peaceful transitions, improving
democratic governance, combats corruption, and upholds
civil liberties, fostering investment, development, and social
stability.
Malawi has not experienced significant civil unrest, armed
conflicts, or political violence in recent history.

The
market
ASX: GBE | FWB: G4U | globemm.com
Niobium top of the critical metal list EU, US, Japan, and India and
Australia
When metals make critical lists in the USA and Europe, they are deemed essential for national security
and economic stability but have at-risk supply chains. This status triggers diverse support mechanisms:
In the USA, support includes federal grants and loans from agencies like the DOE and DoD, publicprivate partnerships providing financial and technical support, the Critical Materials Institute's efforts in
diversifying supply and improving recycling, and the Defense Production Act, which prioritizes critical
materials production.
In Europe, funding comes from initiatives like the European Innovation Partnership and Horizon Europe,
focusing on securing raw material sources and increasing self-sufficiency. The European Raw Materials
Alliance and the European Battery Alliance enhance resource sustainability and support critical raw
materials for transitions in energy and technology.
Both regions aim to decrease import reliance, particularly from geopolitically sensitive areas, by fostering
a complete, domestic supply chain that encourages innovation and sustainable practices.

Niobium has many applications
in the New Economy
•
Niobium oxide presents a promising solution for aerospace
and battery technology due to its exceptional properties. It’s
weldability and fabricability enable the production of
complex aerospace parts precisely.
•
Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it vital in aerospace
design, ensuring structural integrity while reducing weight.
Additionally, its stability at high temperatures suits
components in jet engines and rocket propulsion systems.
•
Moreover, niobium oxide finds application in ophthalmic
lenses, providing high refractive indices and low specific
gravity, ideal for vision correction. Superconductors,
capacitors and the nuclear industry all benefit from Niobium.
An emerging vertically-integrated niobium producer.
In addition to ferroniobium’s (65%
niobium) use in in the production of
High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel.
•
In battery technology, niobium oxide offers greener, cheaper,
and cobalt-free alternatives with rapid charging in under 10
minutes, enhanced energy density, and stability over 10,000
charging cycles.
•
This technology is crucial for round-the-clock supply chain
operations, where rapid charging ensures heightened
productivity. Electric mining trucks utilizing niobium oxide
technology eliminate fossil fuel dependency, allowing efficient
operation with rapid charging cycles.
•
Overall, niobium oxide's versatile properties offer transformative
solutions in aerospace, battery technology, and beyond.

02
Market trends: East versus
West
Market trends: Supply Chain
Market trends: Technology and ESG
• Brazil's dominance (only 3 current players
worldwide) in global supply poses risks, spurring the
US and Europe to seek alternative mining. China
invests in Brazilian firms for diversification.
• AI will transform data analysis, industry 4.0, and robotics,
leading to exponential growth in data centers where
capacitors are crucial.
• Asian urbanization,
especially in China and India,
will drive consumption growth
with expanding middle classes.
• This rise in prosperity,
particularly in India and China,
will increase demand for
healthcare, including imaging
technologies like MRIs.
• To secure supply chains, the US should partner
with niobium-rich regions like Canada, Africa, and
Europe, essential for aerospace and national
security.

• Funding via strategic options that are that could be innovative and non-dilutive
such as debt funding, equity swaps, partnerships or joints ventures, asset-based
financing, convertible instruments and royalty financing as examples.
