Impact Minerals Limited (‘IPT’) is pleased to present its Quarterly Report.
HIGHLIGHTS
1. Lake Hope, WA (IPT 80%)
- Impact to acquire an 80% interest in the Lake Hope Project, an advanced HighPurity Alumina (HPA) project located near Hyden,in the Tier One jurisdiction of Western Australia.
- Lake Hope, a dry playa lake, contains a unique fine-grained (<16 microns), very pure, high-grade aluminous clays in the top few metres of the lake bed.
- An Exploration Target for contained alumina (Al2O3) in the top 0.5 m to 1.5 m or so has been calculated from initial drill results of between 2.6 million to 4.7 million tonnes at a grade of between 24.3% Al2O3 and 26.7% Al2O3 for a contained 0.63 Mt to 1.25 Mt of Al2O3.
- Exploration Target Disclaimer - Investors should be aware that the potential size and grade of the alumina deposit at Lake Hope are conceptual in nature. Insufficient work has been undertaken to estimate a JORC 2012-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. For further details on the calculation of the Exploration Target please refer to the ASX Announcement dated March 21st 2023.
- The unique geological properties of Lake Hope will allow for a shallow, very low-cost, free-digging operation only a few metres deep and with offsite metallurgical processing at an established industrial site.
- The proposed operation would have a small environmental footprint and low carbon emissions.
- Impact aims to bring Lake Hope into production to deliver high-margin end-products into a rapidly expanding global market with a forecast average price for 4N HPA (99.99% Al2O3) and related products of about US$20,000 per tonne.
2. Broken Hill, WA (IPT 100%)
- Field work, ground geophysical surveys and geophysical interpretation are underway as part of the inaugural BHP Xplor Programme to accelerate exploration at Broken Hill
- IGO Joint Venture (EL7390 and EL8234). Drill assays awaited.

OVERVIEW
During the Quarter, Impact announced a major change in focus, transitioning immediately from early-stage explorer to advanced developer of the Lake Hope High Purity Alumina Project (ASX Release March 21st, 2023 .
The Lake Hope Project, in which Impact is earning an 80% interest, offers the company the opportunity to be a low-cost entrant into the HPA chemical market, a high margin business forecast to grow strongly over the next decade. A Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the project is now underway (ASX Release April 6th, 2023. How could you not realise that this needed to be filled in??
In addition, significant fieldwork was completed at Broken Hill under the auspices of the BHP Xplor programme, a prestigious and innovative global business model to help fund junior explorers, and which Impact is proud to be one of the inaugural cohorts (ASX Release January 17th, 2023).
In the background, work continued on Impact’s extensive portfolio of projects in the emerging mineral province of southwest Western Australia, a Tier One jurisdiction and where Impact has a strategic focus. The province is home to the world-class deposits such as the recent Julimar PGE-Ni-Cu discovery (ASX: CHN) and the Greenbushes lithium-tantalum mine. Impact’s projects in the province are both 100% owned, (Arkun-Beau, Dinninup, Mineral Hill and Martup) and in joint venture (Jumbo, Narryer, Dalgaranga and Doonia) (Figure 1).
