Project Details

Open pit project — volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) Zn-Pb-Cu-Au-Ag

• deposit. Robust economics as demonstrated by our PEA

Solid Resource Base — +24 Mt within an optimized open pit shell. This puts

Yenipazar in the 90th percentile of all known VMS deposits as far as size

Great Infrastructure — paved road next to the deposit, as well as access to

• water. Power and rail within approximately 20 km

Unique characteristic — Large ore mineral grains due to metamorphism –

potentially more cost-efficient separation from host rock than usual VMS-deposits

Deposit dimensions — roughly flat lying body should allow for flexible mine

sequencing to optimize early payback - 1700 m long, up to 300 m wide, 30-190 m deep,

• n average about 25-30 m thick. Still open to the east and north of the deposit

11

Yenipazar Key Parametres

Large land package — 100 km2 property that has seen very limited exploration, level and low-relief,

• pen terrain used predominantly for farming

Local support — Near-by village with pro-mining work force and strong community support. Agreement with Alacer — to earn 100 % interest. Alacer Minerals retains 6 % net proceeds interest (revenue minus operational cost) until a total revenue

• f US$165m, and 10% beyond that amount

Commitment — Aldridge must deliver a feasibility to

• Alacer. There is no deadline, as long as Aldridge

works diligently towards completing feasibility study

Scoping Study Highlights

(P&E Mining, February 2011)

Base Case NPV US$209m & IRR of 23.2% at 7% discount rate

• At 10% discount rate, NPV US$151m or $4.07per basic share, $2.92 a share

fully diluted

• Base case uses 3-year trailing average metal prices and 4.5:1 strip including pre-

strip and capex of US$198m for a 12 year mine life assuming 5,700 tpd mill (2m tpa)

• Average payable production of 23,700 oz. Au, 1.1m oz. Ag, 10m lbs. Cu, 37m lbs.

Pb, 37m lbs. Zn from diluted average grades of 1.02 g/t Au, 31.6 g/t Ag, 0.29% Cu, 1.1% Pb, 1.4% Zn

• Zn conc grades 55%, Pb conc grades 55% & 1025 g/t Ag, Cu conc grades 23% with

20 g/t gold & 337 g/t Ag

• Project payback in 3.9 years. LOM average NSR US$57.27/t, LOM average total
• perating cost $29.65/t
• At current metal prices (11/07/11) NPV of US$532m at 7% discount rate (NPV of

US$431m at 10% discount rate) and IRR of 44%

• *pre-tax numbers excluding the Alacer NPI

Scoping Study Lowlights

Base case used results of ONE locked cycle flotation test

• Recoveries: Zn 59%, Pb 78%, Cu 77% - well below average for Zn – need to

be improved – Proper floatation study to be completed soon

• Recoveries: Au 37%, Ag 57% - we expect to significantly improve on both of

these

• A doubling of gold recoveries would double the base case NPV (i.e.

US$302m at 10% or $8.14 / basic share)

• A 10% increase in recoveries of each of the 5 metals would result in a

52% increase in our base case NPV

• Assumed smelter payability of Au and Ag in the Cu conc were only 90% and

80%; should get 95% for both

• Assumed payability of Ag in the Pb conc was only 85%; should get 90% - 95%

Recent Metallurgical Improvements

Based on work done by G&T Metallurgical (Released Dec 1, 2011)

• Improvement in TOTAL Au recovery to 76% (approx. 47% recovered to a Au

gravity “Pan” concentrate, 24% recovered to Cu conc., 5% recovered to Pb conc.)

• Cu conc. graded 19.6% at recovery of 72% and contained 30.3 g/t Au (recovery of

24%) and 482 g/t Ag (recovery of 15%)

• Pb conc. graded 64.3% at a total recovery of 51% and contained 1111 g/t Ag (45%

recovery) and 4.7 g/t Au (5% recovery)

• Zn conc. graded 57.7% at a recovery of 77%
• OPPORTUNITY OF IMPROVEMENT: in this latest round of testing, 24% of our total

Au and 20% of our total Ag ended up in the Cu cleaner tailings. We will examine ways to get more of this “lost” Au and Ag to remain in the Cu conc., and also test to determine if we can leach these tails to recover more gold and silver. We’ll also look to improve the Pb recovery by examining operating mines with similar grades and mineralogy (such as Oz Minerals Rosebery Mine in Tasmania).
