2020 AGM Chair's Address

Oliver Kleinhempel, Chair of the Board

The past 12 months has been a period of consolidation for the Company; building on the momentum started in 2019 to transition from a junior exploration company to an emerging tungsten producer. Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and these unprecedented times, we have stayed on track.

Our leadership team changed during the year, and they likewise have welcomed a lot of new faces in their effort to expand the operational teams on the ground. We thank you, our shareholders, for your patience, trust and continued support as the team assembled to execute the operational strategies and further strengthen the corporate foundation of the Company.

The world is facing enormous challenges such as climate change, political and social polarisation, rising protectionism and supply chain uncertainty. Businesses and society are interdependent, and Speciality Metals does not operate in a vacuum. Society and investors now have expectations in relation to a company's environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and are increasingly holding executives to account. Given these fundamental shifts, the Board with the leadership team have taken the time to reflect on the Company's purpose, values and positioning. We believe everything starts with a purpose, and it is necessary for all of us to align on what we are about so that we can move in the same direction.

We have articulated our Purpose as shown:

Resourcing the new economy for a better tomorrow.

We are a value-oriented resources company, sustainably producing and managing new economy minerals and metals. We maximise the potential of our assets through resource-efficiency and investment in our people to deliver materials that are critical for a better tomorrow. It's how we drive value in our operations, approach new opportunities and at the same time deliver positive societal impact while minimising our environmental footprint.

Let's shortly look at the Company's positioning in a global context. Covid 19 is a terrible tragedy, given it has or will impact each and every global citizen as we will still feel the economic and social consequences of it for a long way to come. But Covid 19 has also been a very timely wake up call for Governments and policy makers around the world, as we must secure the supply of sustainable raw materials for our value chains, if we want to leave a positive legacy for future generations. With 'sustainable' we not only mean 'what minerals are we extracting', but also 'how are we extracting and processing them into higher value products'.

Our focus at Speciality Metals clearly is on critical and new economy minerals, those which are in growing demand to meet the global shifts in energy, industry and sustainability, ultimately allowing global society to increase living standards and human wellbeing. Looking at what is going on around the world - while still being in the midst of a pandemic - this subject has never been as pressing as today and very much being prioritized on geopolitical agendas. Tungsten has, just a few weeks ago, been recognized by the European Commission as having the highest economic importance of all raw materials in the European industrial eco-system, and is already listed by the US, Japan, India and Australia as a critical mineral. Bottom line, our team is committed to enhancing Speciality Metals' existing portfolio and business model to contribute to this globally relevant agenda.

This is exciting and challenging at the same time, but I would like to invite you to continue to support our team on their journey to realise the potential of this Company to add significant value beyond our existing assets and for all stakeholders.
