FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation may contain forward-looking statements including management's assessments

  • f

future plans and

  • perations, expectations of future production, cash flow and
  • earnings. These statements are based on current expectations

that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risks associated with the mining and exploration industry (e.g. operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production).

Project Highlights:

Agata nickel: Mindoro to advance

– Near term opportunity: direct shipping ore production in 2008

  • revenue to fund exploration & development programs

– Long term value: establish local processing plant

Kay Tanda gold: acquire JV partner

– 43-101 compliant gold resources with expansion potential

  • Inferred: 11,599,000 @0.70 g/t gold = 262,000 contained ounces
  • Indicated: 3,365,000 @0.88 g/t gold = 95,000 contained ounces

– In joint venture discussions with experienced gold mining company

Porphyry copper-gold targets: combination Mindoro and JV

– Significant upside potential: 20 undrilled porphyry copper gold targets – Discussions underway to joint venture 2-3 targets in 2008 – Drilling additional targets in 2009 funded by nickel laterite revenue

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target described is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
