FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATIONThis document contains certain forward-looking information. This forward-looking information includes, ormay be based upon, estimates, forecasts, and statements as to management’s expectations with respect to,among other things, the size and quality of the Company’s mineral resources, progress in development ofmineral properties, timing and cost for placing the Company’s mineral projects into production, costs ofproduction, amount and quality of metal products recoverable from the Company’s mineral resources,demand and market outlook for metals and coal and future metal and coal prices. Forward-lookinginformation is based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the information is given, andis subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results todiffer materially from those projected in the forward-looking information. These factors include the inherentrisks involved in the exploration and development of mineral properties, uncertainties with respect to thereceipt or timing of required permits and regulatory approvals, the uncertainties involved in interpretingdrilling results and other geological data, fluctuating metal and coal prices, the possibility of project costoverruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financingneeded in the future, uncertainties related to metal recoveries and other factors. Mineral resources that arenot mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources areconsidered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enablethem to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that mineral resources will be convertedinto mineral reserves. Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking informationbecause it is possible that predictions, forecasts, projections and other forms of forward-looking informationwill not be achieved by the Company.

World 2009 anthracite production: ~ 565 million tonnes

China: 483 million tonnes – a net importer of anthracite

Vietnam: 43 million tonnes – reduced exports with plans to utilize all production domestically

Few new high-quality deposits in mining friendly jurisdictions

Increasing demand from end markets for good quality metallurgical coals

China became a net coal importer in 2009, coking coal in 2007 & anthracite in 2004

Japan & South Korea imports increased in 2010 after financial crisis in 2009

Other emerging economies will also be the driving forces for future met. coal demand

Indian crude steel production expected to increase from 72.8 million tonnes to 124 million tonnes by 2012 & 293 million tonnes by 2020

Brazilian crude steel production expected to increase from 26.5 million tonnes to 103 million tonnes by 2030

An insufficient supply of met. coals to meet anticipated further global demand

VERY ATTRACTIVE MARKET DYNAMICS FOR ANTHRACITE / PCI

PCI produced from Mount Klappan will be very high-quality & priced at the upper range of PCI prices

World Class coal & bulk materials handling facility with 16 Mtpa capacity

Serviced by Provincial highway & CN Rail Main Line

Significant capacity: Currently only handling ~50% of design capacity

36 hours closer to Asian ports than port of Vancouver

Opportunities for shared cargos & blending with other metallurgical coals

RIDLEY COAL TERMINAL IN PRINCE RUPERT

Page 17: Emerging Strategic Fortune Minerals Limited Metal & Coal … · 2015. 11. 13. · China became a net coal importer in 2009, coking coal in 2007 & anthracite in 2004 Japan & South

17

DFS reserves only represents 3.6% of total resource

Rail transportation allows for higher annual production than 3 Mtpa

Simultaneous development of Hobbit-Broatch deposit or more rapid mining of Lost Fox deposit would allow for much higher annual production

3rd Party contribution to railway capital costs increases NPV

Current resource only identified to 300 metres – Additional coal seams identified at depth

Increased resource potential – Marston has recommended 4 phase drilling program

BC Government extending electrical grid & connection would lower power costs & enable use of lower cost mining equipment

Lease-to-purchase of mobile equipment fleet would result in lower upfront capital costs & increased IRR

Project finance debt & off-take / trade financing expected to enhance IRR

SIGNIFIANT UPSIDE POTENTIAL BEYOND 2010 DFS

One of world’s largest undeveloped deposits, rail directly to the mine site, & no port capacity issues allows for a very large, scalable project – potentially

6 Mtpa +

JV partner now secured & accelerated development program underway

Next steps include:

Complete Front End Engineering & Design Studies on the Lost Fox Mine

Complete engineering on rail transportation in conjunction with CN Rail

Continue community & stakeholder engagement

Complete environmental permitting process

Fortune will concurrently advance Mount Klappan & continue discussions with potential debt and equity providers, with aim of announcing fully financed, permitted project at conclusion of currently planned programs

Expansion options – expected through increased production at Lost Fox or development of other Mount Klappan deposits – will be considered in due course; Fortune anticipates its proportionate share of funds for expansions would be funded from Project cash flows
