CASHFLOW STATEMENT
9
Commentary (FY13 v FY14)
 Operating cashflow in FY14 impacted by
working capital timing differences with
the combination of higher receivables of
(A$12.7m) and lower creditors
 Pre-financing cashflow increase driven
by lower capex, mine development,
operating costs and royalty payout
completed in FY13
 FY14 exploration includes consolidation
of FinnAust spend of A$2.9m
 Lower capex and mine development
reflects reaction to lower nickel price in
first half FY14 and major infrastructure
projects completed in FY13 – paste fill
plant and haul road
 Equity raise completed February 2014
 Free cashflow $234.6m higher than
FY13 with equity raise and a higher
nickel price. FY13 included A$150.5m
of debt repayment vs A$15m in FY14

Commentary
 Net Cash of A$10.3m in FY14 versus net debt of
A$154.5m in FY13, when allowing for the full face
value of convertible bonds (CB) (A$220.5m)

ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA
MILL RECOVERY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT
21
 Currently progressing through feasibility study
 Increase average nickel recoveries from 89% up to 93%
 Approximately 6 month construction time
 Early indicative capex of <A$20m
 Quick payback and potentially operational at the end of
FY15
 The treatment of the Flash Cleaner Stream utilises the
BioHeap® cultures on a continuous basis produced from
a Bacterial farm
 Very short residence time of 5-7 days
 Operation at elevated pH eliminates the need for iron
and arsenic precipitation circuits. Hence reduced CAPEX
 Sulphide precipitation circuit produces a high grade
nickel sulphide product (~50% nickel)

NICKEL INDUSTRY
24
Whilst best
known for it’s
use in coins,
nickel has far
more
strategic uses
It can be
alloyed with
other metals
to create
truly
extraordinary
materials
ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA
NICKEL PRICE DRIVERS
25
There are a number of factors that influence the nickel price including:
1. Level of global nickel supply
2. Cost and capacity of Chinese nickel pig iron (“NPI”) production
3. Indonesian nickel laterite export ban
4. Global stainless steel demand
5. Shorter term political factors
What we believe is occurring:
1. Many commentators believe nickel supply now in equilibrium or a small deficit heading into
FY15 – a supply response began in CY13:
 Glencore – all Australian sulphide production ceased, Falcondo operation closed
 Norilsk – all Australian operations ceased, ex-Russia projects up for sale
 Votorantim – nickel smelter being closed down in South America
 Talvivaara – well publicised production and funding issues
 Large HPAL projects still facing technical and high cost issues
ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA
NICKEL PRICE DRIVERS (cont’d...)
26
2. NPI production CY13 450kt to 500kt:
 RKEAF relies on Indonesian laterite
 Laterite must be >1.8% Ni and <25% Fe
 Philippine ore out of spec
 Total Chinese market for nickel between 800kt to 900kt pa
3. Indonesian ban implemented and exports have ceased:
 China stockpiles running low*
 New Indonesian government confirmed commitment to
the ban
 Impact on Indonesian GDP is minor
 Potential exists to raise laterite export taxes
 Believe there is now a cap on NPI production at worse
4. Stainless steel demand remains strong in China
5. European stainless steel demand is improving
* Based on global bank and industry publications and multiple research sources, plus estimates based on discussions with Chinese counterparties

CORPORATE
27
ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA
STRONG BALANCE SHEET
28
 Highly nickel price sensitive – circa A$35m per A$1/lb
increase
 Company is now Net Cash of A$10.3m – first time in
10 years
 Debt Reduction Plan is being executed:
1. Retired A$105.5m on 2 July 2012 from cash
2. Retired A$110.2m during CY14 from cash (ongoing
Net Profit Before Tax saving of around A$12m)
3. Plan to Retire A$125.0m on 2 July 2015 from cash
reserves (a further A$12m saving)
 Balance Sheet is positioned for growth and quick
payback capital projects
 Positive outlook for dividends with the current nickel
price
ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA
NICKEL PRICE AND WSA SHARE PRICE
29
WSA remains very sensitive to nickel
price and AUD/USD fluctuations:
 WSA currently sells approx 55mlb of
nickel in concentrate per annum
 Nickel price in AUD terms increased
from approx A$7/lb in Aug 2013 to
A$9/lb in July 2014
 Analyst consensus is WSA receives
circa 70% payable price to LME
 Using the above assumptions it will
increase free cashflow and EBIT by
approx A$70m on an annualised
basis
 Nov 2013 to beginning of Jan 2014
was impacted by sentiment, rather
than facts

  • 21. ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA MILL RECOVERY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT 21  Currently progressing through feasibility study  Increase average nickel recoveries from 89% up to 93%  Approximately 6 month construction time  Early indicative capex of <A$20m  Quick payback and potentially operational at the end of FY15  The treatment of the Flash Cleaner Stream utilises the BioHeap® cultures on a continuous basis produced from a Bacterial farm  Very short residence time of 5-7 days  Operation at elevated pH eliminates the need for iron and arsenic precipitation circuits. Hence reduced CAPEX  Sulphide precipitation circuit produces a high grade nickel sulphide product (~50% nickel)
  • 23. ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA INDEPENDENT PRODUCER – OFFTAKE CONTRACTS 23 Offtake Contracts  FOB Terms  Very competitive payable percentage of LME Offtake Tender Announced  Expressions of Interest already received  Aiming to complete in the December quarter  1 to 2 year contract anticipated  Tightness in smelter supply being experienced now  New market entrants including traders, stainless steel producers and Nickel Pig Iron (NPI)  Global nickel sulphide grades in decline  Laterites and NPI do not fill the void – Indonesian Ban has severely impact NPI production BHP ~12ktpa Mid 2017 JINCHUAN ~13ktpa Dec 2014
  • 24. ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA NICKEL INDUSTRY 24 Whilst best known for it’s use in coins, nickel has far more strategic uses It can be alloyed with other metals to create truly extraordinary materials
  • 25. ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA NICKEL PRICE DRIVERS 25 There are a number of factors that influence the nickel price including: 1. Level of global nickel supply 2. Cost and capacity of Chinese nickel pig iron (“NPI”) production 3. Indonesian nickel laterite export ban 4. Global stainless steel demand 5. Shorter term political factors What we believe is occurring: 1. Many commentators believe nickel supply now in equilibrium or a small deficit heading into FY15 – a supply response began in CY13:  Glencore – all Australian sulphide production ceased, Falcondo operation closed  Norilsk – all Australian operations ceased, ex-Russia projects up for sale  Votorantim – nickel smelter being closed down in South America  Talvivaara – well publicised production and funding issues  Large HPAL projects still facing technical and high cost issues
  • 26. ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA NICKEL PRICE DRIVERS (cont’d...) 26 2. NPI production CY13 450kt to 500kt:  RKEAF relies on Indonesian laterite  Laterite must be >1.8% Ni and <25% Fe  Philippine ore out of spec  Total Chinese market for nickel between 800kt to 900kt pa 3. Indonesian ban implemented and exports have ceased:  China stockpiles running low*  New Indonesian government confirmed commitment to the ban  Impact on Indonesian GDP is minor  Potential exists to raise laterite export taxes  Believe there is now a cap on NPI production at worse 4. Stainless steel demand remains strong in China 5. European stainless steel demand is improving * Based on global bank and industry publications and multiple research sources, plus estimates based on discussions with Chinese counterparties
  • 28. ASX:WSAASX:WSAASX:WSA STRONG BALANCE SHEET 28  Highly nickel price sensitive – circa A$35m per A$1/lb increase  Company is now Net Cash of A$10.3m – first time in 10 years  Debt Reduction Plan is being executed: 1. Retired A$105.5m on 2 July 2012 from cash 2. Retired A$110.2m during CY14 from cash (ongoing Net Profit Before Tax saving of around A$12m) 3.
