The Group is now committed to bringing together the best of what it does regionally, nationally and internationally, by leveraging the expertise from its individual businesses for the wider benefit of the Group. Emma has been appointed to the board of Porta and her first responsibility will be to combine Porta’s two largest London-based communications businesses, Newgate and Redleaf, and to lead the enlarged UK agency as its Chief Executive. She founded Redleaf Communications in 2000 and, in 2010, acquired and successfully integrated Polhill, a leading financial services PR agency. Since Redleaf was acquired by Porta in May 2014, under Emma’s leadership, the agency has won numerous industry awards and its revenues have grown by 27% and profits after tax by 53%. Today it is one of the UK’s most successful corporate and financial communications agencies, known for its specialisms in strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, issues and crisis management and media relations. The combined Redleaf/ Newgate operation will have 100 professional staff with offices in London, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Leeds and Manchester.

Brian Tyson is the founding Managing Partner of Newgate Australia which was created in 2013. He was appointed to the board of the Porta in 2017.

5 APAC / 2018 Australian Enterprise Awards , 2AE180008 Cobalt 27 Acquires Royalty on Flemington Nickel Cobalt Project in Australia Cobalt 27 Capital Corp. has recently announced that it has agreed to acquire a 1.5% Gross Revenue Royalty on the Flemington Cobalt-Scandium-Nickel project located 370 kilometres west of Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia, held under option by Australian Mines Ltd. Cobalt 27 Capital Corp. is a minerals company that offers direct exposure to cobalt, an integral element in key technologies of the electric vehicle and battery energy storage markets. The Company owns over 2,980 Mt of physical cobalt and manages a portfolio of eight royalties. “Large-scale nickel cobalt deposits such as the Flemington project represent important, undeveloped sources of cobalt and nickel. With ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in the DRC, which accounts for approximately 65% of current global mined cobalt output, this Australian project provides development targets in a politically stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction,” commented Anthony Milewski, Chairman and CEO, Cobalt 27. “While management’s priority and principal focus is on securing cobalt streaming transactions, we continue to opportunistically purchase cobalt royalties as opportunities present themselves,” concluded Mr. Milewski. Flemington Cobalt-ScandiumNickel Project has a Maiden Cobalt mineral resource of 2.7 million tonnes at 0.101% of (1.010 ppm) cobalt with only 1% of the Flemington project area tested to date October 2017. SRK Consultants concluded in the October 2017 Maiden Mineral Resource estimate, that mineralization underlying the Flemington Cobalt-ScandiumNickel Project is the direct continuation of Clean TeQ Holdings’ Sunrise Project, separated only by a tenement boundary. Clean TeQ’s Sunrise project hosts one of the highest grade and largest nickel and cobalt deposits outside of Africa. Australian Mines is fast-tracking development of the Flemington Cobalt-Scandium-Nickel Project with an updated mineral resource in 2019 and pre-feasibility study scheduled to commence thereafter; Preliminary Environmental Impact Study has been completed with final Environmental Impact Study and Mining Lease Application underway; water allocation has also been secured for future mining operations. In addition, Cobalt 27 has agreed to acquire a 1.7% GRR on the fully permitted and constructionready Nyngan Scandium project. The Nyngan project is owned by Scandium International Mining (“SCY”) and is located 500km NW of Sydney, 25km west of the town of Nyngan. Outside existing by-product production in Russia and China, the Nyngan project is the most advanced scandium development opportunity globally, with initial off-take contracts in place. Cobalt 27 acquired the Flemington and Nyngan royalties from Jervois Mining Limited for total consideration of US$4.5 million, comprised of US$1.5 million in cash and US$3.0 million in common shares of the Company which shares will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. Completion of the acquisition of the Flemington Royalty is subject to certain customary conditions of closing, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and is expected to be completed shortly. Cobalt 27 has not received any scientific or technical information in respect of the Flemington CobaltScandium-Nickel Project that is not otherwise publicly available. The scientific and technical information in respect of the Flemington Cobalt-ScandiumNickel Project in this release is derived in its entirety from Australian Mines’ and Jervois Mining Limited’s publicly filed disclosures, and Cobalt 27 has not independently verified any such information. In connection with the acquisition TD Securities is acting as financial advisor to Cobalt 27 and Stikeman Elliott LLP is acting as the Company’s legal advisor. Moving forward, Cobalt 27 Capital Corp. intends to continue investing in a cobalt-focused portfolio of streams, royalties and direct interests in mineral properties containing cobalt, while potentially adding to its cobalt physical holdings when opportunities arise.
6 APAC / 2018 Australian Enterprise Awards , AE180014 Best Employment & Workforce Solutions Firm 2018 Drawing on more than 33 years’ experience, IPA is a well-established Australian provider of employment and career solutions designed to help organisations and individuals to succeed at work. We invited Paul Barbaro to tell us more about the firm and explore the secrets behind the phenomenal success it enjoys today. Established in 1984, IPA provides recruitment and labour hire services to clients ranging in size from multi-nationals, to start-up companies. Over the years the firm has cultivated vast experience which has enabled it to support clients across a range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, finance, banking, FMCG, mining, hospitality and the professional services sector. These clients receive the benefit of IPA’s expertise, and are provided with a full plethora of services including temporary labour hire in both blue and white collar; permanent recruitment; senior appointments; diversity recruitment; as well as government recruitment. Paul explores how the firm’s vast service offering helps it to achieve its client focused mission. “At IPA, our clients are our focus, and as such ur mission is: Everything we do, we do to enhance the lives of people, be it our candidates, our clients, or each other. We invest heavily in our values, which underpin our mission. Through our Values Reward Program, we recognise behaviours which demonstrate and help bring the IPA mission to life each day, and we are constantly seeking feedback from clients and candidates to improve how we deliver our services. “If we are not enhancing the lives of people, we are not being effective, and quite simple, not doing our jobs. Regardless of who we service, ranging from juniors through to executives, we seek to enhance their lives in one way or another. We are owned by a not for profit organisation, GenU, and our profits are directed back to communities, therefore we are ‘profit for purpose’. As a result of this, it is critical for us to deliver solid financial performance, because every cent of our profit is redirected back to communities, including disability services, aged care facilities, job active programs, as well as substantial contributions to charities we support, both locally, state and nationally. By focusing on people, we are able to provide a service that meets everyone’s needs.” This client focused approach and community centred profit structure is what sets IPA apart from its competitors, which is particularly vital in the recruitment sector. Paul delves further into the techniques his firm employs to ensure that it stands out from the crowd and marks itself out as the best possible option for its valued clients. “Unique in our industry is our commitment to community based initiatives, which is one of our primary motivators, and we will continue to invest in every community in which we operate, and this will be a key point of difference. Alongside our ‘profit for purpose’ structure, we are currently working to become an accredited White Ribbon Workplace. White Ribbon is an Australian Charity which is aimed at preventing violence against women, and we have partnered with Fitted for Work, where we will jointly appoint someone to work with women who have exited violent relationships, and assisting them to re-enter the workforce. “Perhaps most important of all for our clients and those we support, at IPA we are one of the few Labour Hire companies who has not changed name, or been absorbed be a multination since inception, making us one of the most recognised recruitment companies in Australia with a solid brand.” The firm’s supportive and collaborative focus extends to all of its shareholders, including its staff, who are of vital importance as they help to drive the profits that benefit everyone. As such, Paul is proud to be able to showcase IPA’s dedication to supporting its staff and finding the very highest standards of employees who are able to help the firm to grow and flourish. “Fundamentally it is our diverse background, along with our extensive branch network, the strength of our financial performance, and the broad depth of our client base that are all key to attracting the best talent. The fact we belong to a Profit for Purpose organisation is also a big attraction as we have employees who know that the profits the business generate, are channelled back into communities. Our internal culture is authentic and laid-back, and we have the courage to acknowledge our weaknesses, and the knowledge and passion to implement a better process. Our values attract a workforce who are passionate and engaged, delivering outcomes that promote our performance goals and company objectives. We are committed as a team, to ensure our company has a pulse, a heartbeat, one that cares. “Additionally, we offer extensive benefits to employees, including work from home arrangements, diverse jobs to engage in across the whole organisation, and lucrative commissions to reward high achievers. We are currently
7 APAC / 2018 Australian Enterprise Awards undertaking an extensive review of our business to offer even more benefits to staff, and make it even more beneficial to work with our business. This helps us to attract and retain the best talent in the industry, all of whom are committed to supporting our clients and the communities we serve.” As he looks to the future, Paul is excited for IPA’s future and the developments it has in store to help build upon its current success, as he is pleased to conclude. “Ultimately, IPA will be the best recruitment company as measured by clients and candidates by 2020. This will be measured qualitatively, not by size or profit. We have little interest in promoting our size, or our profits as a measure of success: instead, we want the stories of our clients and candidates to inspire others, and to promote action in people’s professional lives. Whilst we are of course profit driven and our management team do manage their own P&L’s we would like to think that above all providing the very best service to our clients and focussing on positive and meaningful outcomes to our candidates is the pillar of what we do and why we do it. Get that right and the profit will take care of itself.” AE180008 Best Employment & Workforce Solutions Firm 2018 Company: IPA Australia Contact: Paul Barbaro Address: Level 4, 271 Collins Street, Melbourne, 3000, Australia Phone: 0061 03 9252 2222 Website: www.ipa.com.au/

Stacey lives on Sydney’s Northern Beaches on a cliff by the sea, with her husband and animal companions. Moving forward, Stacey will be expanding her online teaching platforms as well as offering more nature-based programmes. “It’s a mixture of new school and old school ways. Keeping a highly personalised approach but using modern technology can assist people where ever they are”, she says, “but nothing beats immersing people into remote natural environments which is the very essence of healing via earth honouring pathways.” Company: The Modern Witch Contact: Stacey DeMarco Address: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Website: www.themodernwitch.com

14 APAC / 2018 Australian Enterprise Awards , AE180004 Best Pest Management Company 2018 Termicide Pest Control is a stand out leader when it comes to the Pest Management industry in Australia. We profile the firm to find out more about the vast range of services it has to offer. Established in 1995 by Founder and Director Paul Jeynes and based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Termicide has grown from a small owneroperator business to being one of the largest privately-owned Pest Management companies in Australia. Owned and operated locally, the firm is passionate about utilising homegrown labour and locally sourced materials at every opportunity to fulfil its goal of providing the upmost quality service for the best value for local builders, businesses and homeowners. As part of this focus, Termicide is proud to work in conjunction with independent builders, as well as most of Australia’s leading established building companies such as Orbit Homes, Metricon Homes, Choice Homes, and many others. From Northern New South Wales to the Mackay Region in North Queensland, Termicide provides Pre-Construction Termite Management measures to thousands of new homes being constructed every year. The firm’s unique Termiglass Non-Toxic Physical Termite Barrier Product is made using 100% recycled plate glass, which is sourced locally in Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Termiglass is a physical termite barrier comprised of graded glass particles, the size of which has been scientifically determined to be too heavy for termites to move, too small to push through and too hard to chew. Termiglass is installed by a trained Termicide Installer during construction, and as its name suggests, works as a physical barrier to prevent undetected entry of termites into a building. This forces termites out where evidence of termite workings can be identified during regular inspections by accredited Termicide Pest Technicians. With hundreds of thousands of homes installed with Termiglass, that equates to millions of tons of glass historically marked for landfill being recycled in Queensland and Northern New South Wales alone. Termicide is the only company accredited to use the Termiglass product in protecting homes from Termite attack. Termicide also works closely alongside Property Management Agents, Homeowners, and Tenants to provide the highest level of general pest management solutions to residential and commercial properties across the region. Ultimately, Termicide Pest Control’s development of the Termiglass system has brought it to the forefront of innovation in the Pest Control industry, and has heavily influenced its success in the building and construction sector, as Australians are progressively becoming more environmentally aware of the effects that their actions today leave on the planet for the future.
