9 2012 Strategy Unlocking Value Exploration Tamaya IP geophysics and a 5,000 metre diamond drilling program in the fourth quarter 2012 Manantiales evaluation of resources and new targets Mercedes assessing resource potential and negotiating a new commercial joint venture agreement Joint Venture Santo Domingo - discussions underway with potential partners to fund drilling of Divisoria porphyry target Consolidation Mt Isa district consolidate ground in geological prospective areas, situated near major mines and deposits Acquisition Opportunistically identify value-adding merger or acquisition opportunities 9

10 Tamaya Project Uniquely positioned exploration project covering an extraordinarily high-grade historic copper mining field Why is Tamaya an attractive exploration project?: 1) World class mineral province - located in a major Chilean metallogenic belt near major mines and deposits 2) Large project area (6,890 ha) offers large tonnage potential 3) Established infrastructure nearby - supports timely, low-cost exploration, and future development and operation 4) Historic mining field, no modern systematic exploration copper production of 12%* recovered in the period up to the 19 th Century 5) Exploration confirming copper potential mapping, sampling and geophysics highlight geological potential 6) Multiple mineralisation and drill targets high-grade sulphides, bulk tonnage oxides and porphyry targets * Non JORC data 10

11 1. Located in a World-Class Province Tamaya is situated within a metallogenic belt that is host to a number of significant IOCG and porphyry deposits Located on the same geological trends as the Andacollo and Llahuin porphyry deposits 11

12 2. Large Project Size 6,890 ha tenement package in a major mineral district 12

13 3. Close to Infrastructure Services - Mining and exploration services and accommodation in the town of Ovalle, 20 kilometres to the east and Coquimbo 80 kilometres to the north Roads - An extensive network of existing graded tracks that link to asphalt roads 5 kilometres either side of the property and the national motorway 15 kilometres west Port - Container, cargo and bulk ore-handling port facilities in Coquimbo Power - High and low-tension power lines running parallel to the Pan American Highway and linking the towns of Cerrillos de Tamaya and Ovalle Water - Water rights have not been sought, but the Limari River has perennial flow and the project is less than 35 kilometres from the coast 13

14 4. Located in Historic Mining Field Mineral field with historical production of 12% Cu no modern systematic exploration* Main high-grade vein, the focus of historical mining activities Waste dump samples assayed between 1.8% and 3.8% copper * Non JORC data 14

15 5.1 Exploration Confirms Copper Potential Historic tailings dam and plant site Large mineralised system with multiple mineralisation styles including structurally hosted and potentially porphyry Main exploration target 4 km long, with extensions to 7 km Mineralised waste from old workings Extensive existing road network including disused railways excellent access Porphyry target in the eastern sector 15

16 5.2 Exploration Confirms Copper Potential Widespread copper and gold values in main structures Three principal structures identified copper values up to 7.44% in outcrops and 7.91% in dumps Anomalous gold values up to 5.8 g/t in outcrops and 9.5 g/t in dumps 16

17 5.3 Exploration Confirms Copper Potential IP geophysics to test porphyry potential in progress Main high-grade copper vein Major anomaly at depth to the east correlates to mineralised and strongly potassic altered porphyry fragments in structures on surface 17

18 6. Geological Model and Drill Targets Drilling to confirm geological model 5,000 metres planned on three mineralisation targets: 1. Lower grade, bulk tonnage oxide and sulphide 2. High-grade remnant and deeper sulphides 3. Intrusive (porphyry) mineralisation 18

19 Tamaya 2012 Exploration Strategy Objective: Advance from prospect definition through to a drilling program to determine potential mineral resources Target Generation Satellite and ASTER imagery interpretation Tenement wide mapping and sampling Ground-magnetometry geophysical survey Drill Target Definition Detailed channel sampling of main structures High-density mapping of drill targets IP geophysics to test intrusive targets Drill Testing 5,000 metre diamond drilling program planned to start during the fourth quarter 2012 A minimum of 12 diamond holes to test the major target areas including: Tamaya Central, Este and Norte, Tortolas and Lecaros 19

20 Leverage to Exploration Success Potential for significant market capitalisation increase as ELT shifts from explorer to resource developer* * ASX listed companies exploring in Chile and Argentina 140 A$M Undervalued relative to peer group explorers JORC Resource (based on Chile or Argentina asset) Producer 20

21 Summary Exploring in some of the world s major metal provinces Experienced team in place High leverage to exploration success 21
