Exploration Strategy
• Udu Inferred Resource• Revisit the resource estimate• Complete a scoping study early 2014 the outcomes will direct
further work. • Near Resource Targets
• Prioritise Udu “lookalike” targets• Follow up drilling early 2014• Follow up drilling early 2014
• Porphyry Copper Targets• Integrated assessment of geophysics data, December 2013
I iti t d illi fi t h lf 2014• Initiate drilling programme first half 2014.• Greenfields Porphyry Targets
• Continue geochemical follow up to define priority target areas early 2014.
• 3DIP surveys over targets later 2014• If a significant discovery is made the focus of expenditure will be
redirected to that project area.

• Drilling of 2,200m in 22 holes of NQ core completed in 2012/13 to test expansion targets and areas of geological complexity.
• Recent drilling demonstrated continuity of mineralisation is better than• Recent drilling demonstrated continuity of mineralisation is better than previously thought and open in some areas.
• Revised geological model currently in development will lead into an g g y pupdated resource model and a scoping study due for completion in Q1 2014.
R i ht id l tf f l h fl t t f• Resource might provide a platform for early cash flow, or a start up for a larger project if exploration proves successful.

• Geophysics is consistent with an undisturbed porphyry mineralising system the top of which is 500m below surfacemineralising system, the top of which is 500m below surface.
• A magnetic resistive body with a chargeable halo is consistent with the silica cap on a porphyry system.p p p y y y
