Investment Highlights

§ Objective to provide substantial value creation for investors related to discovery of major copper-gold deposit(s) at Keveri Project. Similar substantial value creation has been created for investors by exploration companies from the discovery of major world-class copper deposits, ex: SolGold, Cornerstone Capital, Reservoir Minerals, Intrepid Mines.

§ PNG an excellent geologic region, world-class porphyry Cu-Au potential, “elephant country”. Long history of exploration & mining in PNG, stable investment climate, attractive fiscal terms.

§ Keveri Project ripe for discovery, early exploration at Omu delivers large Cu-in-soil footprint with associated high-grade Cu in outcrop & presence of high-grade Cu in float samples in multiple small drainages within target area

§ Competitive Advantage, large tenement package, potential for access road from nearby Doma village, strong relationship with local community

§ Major targets areas within Keveri Project with world class potential – Omu, Araboro, Urua & Ioleu

Why PNG? Land of Giant Resource Developments

Proven World Class Region§ Numerous world class

copper & gold deposits in the NW-SE New Guinea Mobile Belt (NGMFB)

§ Wafi–Golpu is the most recent world-class discovery in PNG,

§ Much of PNG remains under-explored

§ High probability remains for discovering new world-class economic deposits along

OMU & Araboro

Description of what has been done and found:§At Omu:

§ Large copper-in-soil footprint, covering area of approx. 1.5 x 1.5 km § New areas of copper mineralisation in subcrop/outcrop coincident with soil

footprint, ex: Nadinia, Omu NE, Michaels Creek area, Didi South

§At Araboro:§ Copper-in-soil footprint anomaly associated with circular features§ High grade copper in float samples within target area§ Follow-up exploration required

OMU & Araboro targets deliver large copper anomalies from first pass exploration
