Subject: Freedom of Information request - Understand the information used
to make the Loan to Illuka Resources

CAUTION: This email originated from outside the organisation. Do not act
on instructions, click links, or open attachments unless you recognise the
sender and know the content is safe.

Dear Export Finance and Insurance Corporation,

Recently you made a loan agreement with Illuka Resources to build a Rare
Earths processing facility in Australia.

I am requesting the information that this decision to lend $1.2B AUD of
taxpayer money was based on. That includes the JORC resource that would
validate the actual value of the feedstock at Eneabba Illuka claims it
will use within this facility.

Anything other than a full JORC report would not give adequate information
to make this decision. Please provide this and whatever other validating
information you used to provide the loan.

Yours faithfully,

Liam Thomas
