Joining the podcast today is Dr Mike Jones, Managing Director of Impact Minerals, ASX: IPT.

Mike joins us to discuss Impact Minerals’ strategy across high purity alumina development,

emerging sulphate of potash and hydrochloric acid opportunities at Lake Hope, and exploration progress across the company’s broader project portfolio.

Introduction to Company

1. For listeners who may be discovering Impact Minerals for the first time, can you introduce

the company and explain the core focus of the business today?

Strategy

2. Impact has several projects progressing across different commodities and development

stages. How would you describe the company’s overall strategy for building long term value

across the portfolio?

Flagship Projects

3. The Lake Hope project has become a central asset for Impact. What makes this project

technically and strategically important for the company?

4. The recent announcement outlined a potential pathway to produce sulphate of potash and

hydrochloric acid from lake clays. What led the team to explore this additional opportunity

alongside the existing High Purity Alumina development?

Market Dynamics

5. From a market perspective, how do you view the demand dynamics for products such as

high purity alumina, sulphate of potash and hydrochloric acid, and how does that shape your

development strategy?

Growth Opportunity

6. Impact has also been advancing its HiPurA® high purity alumina program through the

Alluminous partnership. How significant is this development pathway in terms of accessing

advanced technology and battery markets?

7. The shipment of high purity alumina samples for testing represents an important milestone.

What does this step mean in terms of validating the product and moving toward potential

commercial applications?

Community Engagement8. Many of Impact’s projects are located in regional areas. How important is community

engagement and maintaining strong relationships with local stakeholders as projects

progress?

Financial Position

9. Resource development and technology programs require careful capital management. How

is Impact approaching funding, partnerships and capital allocation as it advances these

projects?

Industry Collaboration

programs. How important are industry collaborations in accelerating both technical progress

and market access?

Exploration Portfolio

11. The company also continues to explore in the Broken Hill region, which is one of the most

historically significant mining districts in Australia. What excites you most about the

exploration potential in that area?

12. Recent geophysical work has identified deep conductive structures and near surface targets.

How do these kinds of results guide the next steps in exploration and drilling programs?

Upcoming Milestones

13. Looking ahead over the next year, what are the key milestones investors and stakeholders

should be watching across the Impact Minerals portfolio?

Strategic Direction

14. As the company continues to develop both technology driven projects and exploration

assets, how do you see Impact positioning itself within the broader resources and advanced

materials sector?

Vision of Success
