About Whitemud Resources Metakaolin: Background Manufacturing Product and uses Oilwell industry strategy Cementing in Canada Logistics Technical presentation
Metakaolin Background
Metakaolin has a proven history of enhancing the performance of concrete First known use in 1966 (Brazil) Introduced to North America in mid-1980s North American introduction and growth due to industry leadership from kaolin/metakaolin producers and support from scientific community
What is Metakaolin?
Metakaolin is a pozzolanic supplementary cementing material (SCM) created from kaolin clay and used to produce high performance concrete: Kaolin White-coloured clay Aluminum silicate Principal uses: Filler and coating for paper Paint, plastics, ceramics, refractory, rubber
Heated to 800C
Metakaolin (WhitemudMK) Becomes chemically reactive Principal use: Highly reactive SCM in concrete and oil well cementing 10 to 20% replacement of cement in concrete Up to 30+% replacement of cement in oil well cementing

Competitive Advantages
Limited existing competition Current supplies priced at more than twice Whitemud MK Metakaolin is currently priced at $450 to $650 per tonne, limiting its use Only a small amount of North American kaolin is processed into metakaolin Centrally located to North American markets Engineered product with unique performance qualities State-of-the-art plant to produce a consistent product
WhitemudMK Value Proposition To sell metakaolin at a price that will add value to broader applications in concrete and oil well cementing
10
Environmental Benefits
Reduction of Greenhouse Gas emissions Manufacture of metakaolin generates 55% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than cement
Sustainability Contribution Using WhitemudMK improves concretes strength, durability and reduces permeability WhitemudMK will contribute to longer service lives and less maintenance and repairs Perceived as a Green supplementary cementing material by specifiers
