Overview of Exploration Activities Globe’s focus of operations is in Malawi in southeast Africa of which the Company’s most advanced project is the Kanyika Niobium Project (KNP). The KNP is considered a world class niobium (Nb) and tantalum (Ta) resource. These metals are key additives in steel manufacture, electronics and ceramics. At Globe’s KNP asset, a resource estimated sufficient to sustain a 20-year mine life has been defined, however, the Company continues to explore its licence for further Nb-Ta resources. In addition to KNP, Globe has three other exploration projects in Malawi as follows:  Chiziro Graphite Project - in 2014 Globe completed 6,266 metres of trenching at its Chimutu Prospect and in the process outlined six kilometres strike of high-grade graphite mineralisation. In addition to which mapping and rock chip sampling has located further prospects. Work to date has defined drill targets that there are plans to test in 2015. Favourable preliminary metallurgical test work has been reported on previously by Globe.  Machinga Rare Earths Project - this is an early stage exploration project, however, soil sampling programmes in 2013 and 2014 field seasons have outlined substantial rare earth element (REE) and Nb-Ta anomalism that will require further follow up in 2015.  Salimbidwe Rare Earths Project - This is also an early stage exploration project that will have further evaluation completed during 2015. Figure 1- Malawi Projects Location Map. 2 2. Kanyika Niobium Project 2.1 Overview Globe has been undertaking exploration and resource development activities at Kanyika since 2007 and in 2011 made the decision to proceed to undertaking a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), the technical aspects of which were completed by 31 December 2012. As part of undertaking the DFS process an updated Mineral Resource was completed and on 7 January 2013 Globe made a release to the ASX stating a mineral resource inventory of 68.3M tonnes (equivalent) of Nb2O5 using a 1,500 ppm Nb2O5 cut-off (refer Table 1 & 2 below). No additions or changes have been made to this resource statement and it complies with the 2004 JORC guidelines for mineral resource statements as made in that release, (please refer to the “Competent Persons Statement” section on page 17).

In May of 2014 there was a change of government in Malawi and the meeting in December 2014 was for the benefit of the new Minister and relevant senior government personnel to be brought up to date with the DA progress as part of the on-going DA negotiation process. DA negotiations will continue in 2015 and it is anticipated they will be concluded to the benefit of all parties involved. 2.3 Kanyika Definitive Feasibility Study Globe has progressed discussions with several groups interested in purchasing niobium and tantalum products from Kanyika, with the view to develop long-term product off-take agreements. The Kanyika Technical Economic Return (TER) model has been revised to include results from the 2014 Kanyika concentrator pilot plant programme. Currently the TER model remains incomplete until costed product off-take agreements are established. 2.4 Mining Licence Application The Kanyika Exclusive Prospecting Licence (EPL0188) expired at the end of December 2014, consequently Globe has applied for a Mining Licence (ML) to cover the Kanyika Nb-Ta resource, and all areas covering proposed mine infrastructure and prospective exploration areas. The ML application was submitted to the Ministry of Mines in mid-December and Globe is awaiting Ministerial approval. 2.5 Kanyika Exploration Activities During This Quarter No field work was completed during the March Quarter at Kanyika. At the request of the Malawi Department of Mines information was provided in support of the Company’s Mining Lease Application. In addition, the Company gave consideration to various financing options. 4 3. Chiziro Graphite Project 3.1 Overview The Chiziro Graphite Project is located to the north-east of the city of Lilongwe in Malawi and comprises Exploration Prospecting Licence (EPL0299). During 2014, Globe completed trenching at the “Chimutu Prospect” and defined a six kilometre strike of high-grade graphite mineralisation. Subsequent mapping of other areas within the tenement area identified additional areas of interest. 3.2 Mapping & Sampling During December 2014, reconnaissance rock chip sampling was carried out at Chimutu and two prospective graphite prospects identified from mapping, referred to as “Chimutu East” and “Katengeza”. A total of 121 rock chip samples were collected, 95 from the Chimutu and Chimutu East Prospects and a further 26 from the Katengeza Prospect. By the end of the December Quarter, 27 assays had been returned of which 13 assayed greater than 10% TGC, with a highest assay of 21.1% TGC. During the March 2015 Quarter, the remaining 94 assays were received; 87 samples being from the Chimutu and Chimutu East Prospects and 7 being from the Katengeza Prospect. 36 of these samples assayed greater than 10% TGC, with a highest assay of 20.7% TGC. These results were released by Globe as part of an ASX announcement dated 12 February 2015 titled “Chiziro Graphite Project Update”. Table 1 below summarises the assay results received to date for all sampling programs completed to date.

These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. Drilling techniques • Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, facesampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). Commentary  Ground radiometric surveys were conducted using a handheld ThermoScientific RadEye brand scintillometer integrated with a GPS (GARMIN GPSMAP 78s). Soil sampling was carried out in a grid pattern with approximately 2 kg samples collected at each point. Rock chip samples were collected where outcropping rock occurs. Trenches were dug to the depth of bedrock, or 1.5m and 2kg samples were taken over a 1m length.  Careful bagging of samples in individual plastic bags and accurate numbering and labelling of samples was carried out in the field. QAQC procedures such as the use of field duplicates, were carried out to ensure sample representivity. Re-sampling was carried out where necessary. Hand held GPS units (GARMIN GPSMAP 78s) were used to locate sampling locations, which undergo regular checks. Hand held ThermoScientific RadEye brand scintillometer is regularly calibrated.  For graphite analysis at the Chiziro project, trenching was carried out to obtain 1m samples of 2kg each, soil sampling was carried out to obtain 2kg samples over a grid pattern, and rock chip sampling of outcrops was carried out. Samples were pulverised, acidified and roasted for total combustion analysis of total graphitic carbon. For all analysis at Kanyika, Machinga and Salambidwe projects, soil sampling was carried out to obtain 2kg samples over a grid pattern, and rock chip sampling of outcrops was carried out. The samples were pulverised and 120-150g was analysed by the ICP-MS technique.  No drilling was carried out in this quarter 10 Criteria Drill sample recovery Logging Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation Explanation • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. • If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. Commentary  No drilling was carried out in this quarter  No drilling was carried out in this quarter. Trenching was geologically logged over 1m length intervals to an appropriate level of detail.  Geological logging of trenching was qualitative in nature.  The entire length of all trenches was logged.  No drill core  Samples greater than 3kg were riffle split in to two 50/50 samples by the laboratory to create a sub-sample that can be milled in one operation. Samples were dried at 121°C for 8 hours, until devoid of moisture, by the laboratory.  Samples from Kanyika, Salambidwe, and Machinga were submitted at the ISO 17025 accredited Genalysis Laboratory Services in South Africa for sample preparation. Samples from Chiziro were submitted at the SANAS accredited laboratory, Inspectorate Metals and Minerals, a Bureau Veritas Group company in Rustenburg, South Africa, for sample preparation. - At Genalysis Laboratories, samples were received by the laboratory and allocated a unique job number, then sorted. The samples were dried, and then crushed if required to either 2mm or 10mm as appropriate. Large samples were riffle split and the excess stored. Samples were pulverised in a closed pulveriser to 85% 75µm. 120150g analytical split was taken for export to Australia and the pulp residue was retained and stored. - At Bureau Veritas Laboratory, samples were received, sorted and dried. 11 Criteria Explanation Commentary Primary preparation was by crushing the whole sample, which was then pulverised in a vibrating disc pulveriser. The samples were acidified and roasted to remove carbonate and organic carbon.  Appropriate industry standard quality control procedures were adopted at each stage of sub-sampling to maximise representivity of samples, such as laboratory repeat assays.  Field duplicates were used at a rate of 5% and analysed to ensure representivity of in situ material.  The field sample size of approximately 2kg greater is appropriate to the grain size of the material sampled. Quality of assay data and laboratory tests • The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. Verification of sampling and assaying • The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes.  Samples from Kanyika, Salambidwe, and Machinga were submitted at the ISO 17025 accredited Genalysis Laboratory Services in South Africa for sample preparation and chemical analysis, applying the ICP-MS technique. Samples from Chiziro were submitted at the SANAS accredited laboratory, Inspectorate Metals and Minerals, a Bureau Veritas Group company in Rustenburg, South Africa, for sample preparation and chemical analysis using a total combustion analyser.  A Thermo Scientific RadEye brand scintillometer was used to measure ground radiation levels and conduct surveys. The unit is regularly checked and calibrated. A calibration factor was not applied to the radiation counts per second data.  A comprehensive quality control and quality assurance programme undertaken included the use of certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks (silica sand) and field duplicates at a 5% rate. The quality assurance data was analysed on an ongoing basis. Re-assaying or umpire checks were undertaken as necessary. From the QAQC data review, it is reasonable to accept the levels of accuracy and precision were attained during the exploration program and laboratory testing.  No drilling was carried out in this quarter therefore there were no significant intersections.  No drilling was carried out in this quarter, 12 Criteria Explanation • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. Location of data points • Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Data spacing and distribution • Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has been applied. Orientation of data in relation to geological structure • Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if Commentary therefore no twinned holes.  The collected field data was entered by the Exploration geologists into Excel spread sheets and emailed to the GIS and Database Geologist based at Globe Metals head office in Perth. All data was verified by the GIS and Database Geologist in Perth, and automatically verified by database software. Data entry errors were identified and returned to the Exploration Geologists for correction. The data was loaded into a Century Systems Fusion Database.  Assay results were received by the Perth Office, directly from Genalysis Laboratories by email. The assay files were loaded into the database by the GIS and Database Geologist. A spread sheet containing assay data was sent to the Exploration Geologists on site for their evaluation.  Hand held GPS units (GARMIN GPSMAP 78s) are used to define field location of soil, rock chip samples, trenches and boreholes. These locations are considered accurate to 5m.  The grid system used is UTM Zone 36S, WGS 84.  The GPS has sufficient topographic control warranted for geochemical sampling. GPS data is downloaded via Map Source into MS Excel.  No drilling was carried out in this quarter. Soil sampling was carried out on a grid pattern, where terrain allows, at a line spacing of 200m and station spacing of 50m. Rock chip samples were taken only where outcrops occur. Trenches were sampled over 1m length intervals.  The data spacing and distribution of surface sampling is sufficient to delineate a mineralised target for further investigation.  No sample compositing was applied.  No drilling was carried out in this quarter 13 Criteria Explanation material. • The measures taken to ensure sample security.

An airborne magnetic and radiometric survey was carried out in 1984-85 by Hunting Geology and Geophysics Limited and interpreted by Paterson, Grant & Watson Limited (‘PGW’) for a United Nations sponsored Development Program. The Kanyika target was identified. In 1986 the Malawi Geological Survey conducted brief follow-up ground reconnaissance programs. However, in 1987 it was concluded in an internal Geological Survey Department report that the results were not encouraging. Machinga: The American Smelting and Refining Company and the Atomic Energy Division of the Geological Survey of Britain carried out preliminary geological work in 1955 (scintillometer survey, mapping, trenching, drilling). Radiometric anomalies were found but none of the generated data was made available to Globe Metals. Detailed geological mapping over the MalosaZomba mountains were completed by Bloomfield et al in 1965. In 1986, an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey was carried out by Hunting Geology and Geophysics Limited and interpreted by Paterson, Grant & Watson Limited (‘PGW’) in 1987 for a United Nations sponsored Development Program. It located Uranium channel radiometric anomalies in the region. In November 2009 Resource Star Limited completed an orientation soil sampling program over Machinga Main Anomaly, 136 samples were collected. Chiziro: The Geological Survey Department of Malawi conducted geological mapping and Cooper et al. identified the Chimutu and Katengeza targets in a 1949 Annual report. Trenching and pitting was carried out by the Geological Survey Department in 1963, and indicated 15200 short tonnes of graphite to a depth of 6 feet, averaging 5.1% Graphite in weathered gneiss, in a zone 200 yards wide by 2300 feet in length. This trenching is within the exclusion 15 Criteria Explanation Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Commentary zone of the Chiziro licence and not currently available for exploration by Globe. Salambidwe: In 1963 The Geological Survey Department of Malawi mapped the “Geology of the Salambidwe Ring Structure”. This mapping was digitised for use by Globe. In 1986, an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey was carried out by Hunting Geology and Geophysics Limited and interpreted by Paterson, Grant & Watson Limited (‘PGW’) in 1987 for a United Nations sponsored Development Program. It located radiometric anomalies in the region. Kanyika: The licence lies within the Malawi Province of the Mozambique Orogenic Belt. It is almost entirely underlain by Precambrian and Lower Palaeozoic Basement Complex, predominantly gneissic metamorphic rocks. Most of the rocks in the region are paragneisses originating from variable protoliths including pelites, sandstones and limestones. Several granitoid bodies of variable size have intruded the gneissic basement and may have originated wholly or in part by anatexis. A few small concordant bodies of
