Market --- Complex Ores containing precious metals (Gold, Silver, & Platinum Group Metals)

Native Ores(Free or metallic state)

Sulfide Ores(combined with sulfur)

Oxidized Ores(combined with O2)

Mixed Ores(oxidized & sulfide)

A base-metal ore that contains valuable amounts of 2 or more metals (i.e. copper, lead, and zinc) is termed a complex ore.

Copper

Lead

Zinc

Gold

Silver

Misc.

Precious Metals are intricately latticed on a sub-micron scale Encapsulated and “hidden” by interference elements. Using conventional metallurgy, only insignificant or minor

traces(1 – 2 %) of sub-micron precious metals are detected and obtained.

The economics make it infeasible for mining companies to explore and exploit complex precious metal ores.

Market Needs --- Precious Metals that are largely undetected & unrecoverable by conventional metallurgy

This target market is largely untapped

underdeveloped & undervalued.

Brilliant, Proprietary technology using RF Plasma torch. At 8,000oC, ore structure disintegrates and encapsulated Au,

Ag, etc. are freed up and condensed for collection. Almost 100% of the latent precious metals contained in the

ores can be extracted and recovered. Unfair Market Advantage (captive market w/no competitors). TPT owns & holds the key to this breakthrough technology.

Market Needs --- A breakthrough technology that can unbind & extract “hidden” precious metals

The RF Plasma Process

Thermal plasma process that generates a high intensity (~0.5 – 1.2 kW/cm3) heat flux.

Ore concentrate is injected into the RFP reactor where it is heated by the plasma stream, vaporized and condensed in a controlled atmosphere.

Temperature range between 6,400oC and 14,000oC.

If the initial ore does not contain precious metals, using plasma will not transmute or increase the weight of the gold or silver. 100% material balance.

Heat without combustion and chemical reactions without contamination up to incredible temperatures.

High degree of densification, spheroidization and purity.

Green technology with no health or safety hazards.

Highly versatile & economical to implement.

Over the last several years, TPT has conducted assay tests of ore samples from over 46 mines in China. Several mines have exceedingly high gold and silver content .

Immediate availability

Information sensitivity

It is not known initially whether a particular complex ore would contain or yield significant amounts of “latent” PGM, gold or silver. It takes a number of assay tests of varying head ore samples to provide a reliable but approximate prediction of the precious metal composition in the complex ore.

The results of this assay were based solely upon the content of the sample submitted. Any decision to invest should be made only after the potential investment value of the claim or deposit has been determined based on the results of assays of multiple samples of geologic materials collected by the prospective investor or by a qualified By person selected by him and based on an evaluation of all engineering data which is available concerning any proposed project. For our complete terms and conditions please see our website at www.inspectorate.com.

This is the most recent assay of the target Hebei mine. The results show insignificant pre-RFP gold/silver content and post-RFP gold content of 255.67 g/ton and silver content of 531.8 g/ton. These results are based on using head ore without undergoing a normal 20:1 concentration.

Paving a way for mining companies to exploit new or existing assets for precious metal commodities to substantially increase their bottom-line earnings and shareholder value.

The capital investment for starting a RFP processing facility can be completely recouped in Year 2.. The ROI is exceptional, almost 40 times in 5 years, The earnings and investment return can be accelerated by adding RFP processing units.

RFP technology is brilliant, unique, state-of-the-art, and the only way to commercially unbind and extract precious metals from complex ores. It is a green technology with no harmful waste. It is economical and scalable.

Technology has already been validated by assays on over 46 complex ore mines in China in the last few years, demonstrating phenomenally high yield in precious metals for select complex ores.

There is an abundance of complex ores in the world. Target market is largely untapped or underdeveloped and undervalued as the latent precious metals are undetectable by conventional metallurgy. TPT owns and holds the key to it. Thus it is a captive market that is huge and rich.
