Note: Numbers may not compute because of rounding.  Product prices during the offtake period refer to the first seven years of production when offtake agreements will include discounts and other contract mechanisms put in place to underpin project finance for up to approximately 85% of NdPr oxide production with averages calculated as the weighted average over the specified period.  Average revenue, costs and EBITDA are calculated as the arithmetic annual average following the anticipated two year ramp up period and excluding the final years of production from low grade stockpiles.
