ForwardLookingStatements CautionaryNoteRegardingCanadianMineralDisclosureStandards
Certain information contained in this document may include forwardlooking statements. Forwardlooking statements may include statements regarding Orbite Aluminae Inc. (Orbite or the Company) intentions, beliefs or current expectations about its projects, costs, objectives and future returns of the Company, or hypotheses underlying these items. In this document, words such as may, would, could, will, likely, believe, expect, anticipate, intend, plan, estimate and similar words and the negative form thereof are used to identify forwardlooking statements. Forwardlooking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether, or the times at or by which, such future performance will be achieved. Forwardlooking statements are based on information available at the time and/or managements goodfaith beliefs with respect to future events, and are subject to known or unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond the Companys control. These risks uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those described in the section of the Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) entitled Risk and Uncertainties as filed on March 22, 2012 on SEDAR ,and in the section Risk Factors of the Annual Information Form of March 30th, 2012 also filed on SEDAR, and could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in any forwardlooking statements. The Company does not intend, nor does it undertake any obligation to update, or revise any forwardlooking statements or other information contained in this document to reflect subsequent information, events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws. The Revised Preliminary Economic Assessment (the PEA) on the Companys Metallurgical Grade Alumina project (the SGA Project or SGA Plant) with an effective date of November 24, 2011 and a revised report date of May 30, 2012, is preliminary in nature and it includes Indicated Mineral Resources of aluminous clay that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the conclusions reached in the PEA will be realized. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves have not demonstrated economic viability.

The Company is required to provide technical information with respect to mineralization on its GrandValle property in accordance with Canadian standards which differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), and resource information contained in this document, the PEA and other public disclosure documents filed by the Company on SEDAR may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. This document and the PEA include references to mineral resource estimates that have been calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43101), as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. In particular, this document and the PEA use the terms indicated mineral resources and inferred mineral resources. Readers are cautioned that the term "resource" does not equate to the term "reserves". Further, the definitions of proven and probable reserves used in NI 43101 differ from the definition of reserves under U.S. standards. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Among other things, all necessary permits would be required to be in hand or issuance imminent in order to classify mineralized material as reserves under the SEC standards. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of indicated or inferred mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. The SEC's disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute reserves by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. Readers should also understand that inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimated inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or prefeasibility studies except in rare cases. Marc Filion, a Qualified Person, reviewed the technical information disclosed herein. Mr. Filion is a Consultant of Orbite, and as such, is not independent pursuant to NI 43101. For a detailed breakdown of the Companys resource position and Preliminary Economic Assessment for the SGA plant see the ORT May 31, 2012 press release, available on the Companys website.

QuebecisanImportantAluminaMarket
Quebecs Gasp region is strategically situated near 14 smelters1 producing 8% of the worlds aluminum, representing the worlds 3rd largest producing region after China and Russia, importing up to 8M tonnes SGA per year. 100% of 34km2 aluminous clay property at GrandeValle, Quebec contains a 1 billion tonne Indicated Resource2 that could potentially satisfy 50% of Quebecs annual alumina imports for >50 years. 100% of 550km2 along the same aluminous clay formation near CapChat and Rimouski. Option agreement3 to earn 100% on the 26km2 Chaswood kaolin property near Halifax, Nova Scotia. Orbites vision is to build up to ten SGA plants served by several different openpit mines.

HPAPlantinCapChat,Quebec
Highpurity alumina (HPA) is used primarily to manufacture industrial sapphires which are used as substrates in LED lights and displays. CapChat HPA plant is a showcase of the SGA technology: Plant commissioning is currently in progress. Produced first tonne of 4N HPA (99.99% purity) in January, independently verified by EAG. Commercial production of 4N to 6N HPA by Q2 2013: Orbite will focus on 5N to 6N HPA market. Production will ramp to 3 tpd by mid2013 and 5 tpd by 2014. Smallscale scandium and gallium production as of mid2013. PEA was not completed therefore OPEX and CAPEX estimates are unavailable. Additional CAPEX will be required throughout 2013.

SGAPlantFeasibilityStudy
SGA Feasibility Study anticipated by Q4 2013: 7,000 tonnes per day openpit mine at GrandeValle. SGA Plant site selection not completed. PEA2 estimated CAPEX of $500M and OPEX of $113M. Final Design1 improves on PEA2 by reducing consumption of water by 60% and fossil fuels by 30% resulting in potential 20% cost saving over the PEA2. Construction anticipated in three phases : Subject to project financing and government approvals. Phase 1 20% of capacity for 50% of the CAPEX. Conceptual funding through debt, offtakes and JV interests. Negotiating with RUSAL and other potential JV partners.

TechnologyLicensingOpportunities
Orbite intends to license its SGA technology internationally in return for a revenue royalty: New Orbite alumina plants will be at the bottom of the industry cost curve. Addon Orbite plant could treat red mud effluent and existing stockpiles while moving existing Bayer plants down the cost curve. Provides stable domestic supply of alumina.
