PHYSICAL ON-SITE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ADVANCING THE KANYIKA
NIOBIUM PROJECT
Globe Metals & Mining Limited (ASX: GBE) (“Globe” or “the Company”) is
pleased to provide an update on physical development activities currently underway
at its Kanyika Niobium Project (“Kanyika” or the “Project”) in Malawi.
Highlights
• Physical mine development works are underway at the Kanyika Niobium
Project.
• Heavy equipment has been mobilised and is operating on site, with road
grading, access improvements and site preparation activities underway.
• Approximately 5.8 km of the main access road from the T325 road to the
mine site is being graded and upgraded.
• Approximately 1.4 km of internal mine access road is being upgraded,
bringing the current road works programme to approximately 7.2 km.
• Site clearing and preparation works are being undertaken for the planned ore
stockpile and waste-mining areas.
• The two waste-mining areas have a combined planned cleared footprint of
approximately 30,000 m² and are being prepared as mining-ready areas for
future development.
• Globe has completed improvements to the existing Kanyika exploration camp,
including accommodation for up to 12 personnel and upgrades to power,
water, ablution and shower facilities, kitchen facilities and supporting
infrastructure.
• Further site infrastructure is being established, including preparation for
additional office and storage facilities.
• The works represent tangible, on-the-ground advancement of Kanyika
following completion of the Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”).
• In parallel, Globe is progressing the community compensation and relocation
programme, with a separate update to be provided shortly.
Mine Development Works Underway
Globe has commenced a programme of physical development works across the
Kanyika mine site as the Company continues to advance the Project towards
development.
Heavy equipment has been mobilised to Kanyika and is currently undertaking road
grading, access improvements and site preparation activities across a number of
work areas.
The current programme includes works on the main access road to Kanyika, internal
mine access, preparation of areas for future mine development and the establishment
and improvement of supporting site infrastructure.

including the main access road, internal mine access, ore stockpile area, waste-
mining areas and supporting site infrastructure.
Main Mine Access Road
Grading and levelling works are being undertaken along approximately 5.8 km of the
existing gravel access road extending from the T325 road to the mine site.
The objective of the works is to establish a safe and trafficable access route to the
Project suitable for light and medium vehicle use.
The programme includes grading, levelling and rectification of sections of the existing
road, including addressing major bumps and depressions and improving the road
surface and drainage characteristics.

Project.

Internal Mine Access
In addition to the main access road, Globe is upgrading approximately 1.4 km of
existing internal access road between the main access road and the mine area.
Sections of the existing road have been affected by previous rainfall and erosion. The
works include grading and improvement of these sections to provide a safer and
more trafficable internal access route.
Together, the main and internal access-road programme covers approximately 7.2
km of existing roads, improving access to and within the Kanyika mine site.
Mine Site Preparation
Physical site preparation activities are also underway across areas designated for
future mine development.
These works include clearing and preparation of the planned:
• Ore stockpile area – approximately 6,500 m²;
• Waste mining area 1 – approximately 14,000 m²; and
• Waste mining area 2 – approximately 15,800 m².
The designated areas are being cleared of vegetation and topsoil, with topsoil
removed from each area to be stockpiled adjacent to the respective site for future
rehabilitation.
The two waste-mining areas provide a combined planned cleared footprint of
approximately 30,000 m² and are being prepared as mining-ready areas to support
future development activities.
The areas are planned to support the future extraction of waste rock for use as
construction material for Project earthworks, including platforms, terraces and
foundations.
Exploration Camp Upgrades Completed
Globe has also completed a programme of improvements to the existing Kanyika
exploration camp to support the increased level of activity at the Project and provide
an improved operational base for personnel working on site.
The improvements include the refurbishment and upgrading of accommodation
facilities for up to 12 personnel, together with upgrades to:
• power supply;
• water supply;
• ablution and shower facilities;
• kitchen facilities; and
• other supporting camp infrastructure.
The upgraded camp provides Globe with established on-site accommodation and
facilities for Company personnel and contractors and increases the Project's capacity
to support ongoing development activities.

In addition, an area within the exploration camp is being prepared for the installation
of Globe's site containers and associated facilities.
The site containers will provide additional office and storage capacity to further
support activities at Kanyika.
Community Compensation and Relocation Programme
In parallel with the physical development works, Globe continues to progress the
community compensation and relocation programme associated with the
development of Kanyika.
The Company expects to provide a separate announcement shortly regarding the
commencement of the programme and the next steps in the compensation and
relocation process.
Charles Altshuler, Interim CEO & CFO of Globe Metals & Mining, said:
“The commencement of these works marks another important step in the
development of Kanyika, with heavy equipment now operating on site and key access
and mine areas being prepared.
Together with the completed upgrades to our exploration camp, these activities are
increasing our on-site capability and preparing Kanyika for the next stages of
development.”
