  • Strong geographic and commodity focus
  • Exposure to iron ore, gold and copper
  • Fiji is mining friendly, with an attractive investment environment
  • Dome has high quality geological, exploration and business expertise in Fiji
  • Balanced portfolio comprising well defined targets, all with local analogues
  • Sound business strategy –
  • Explore and evaluate Nasivi as first priority;
  • Develop mineral sand dredging operation
  • Fund detailed exploration, evaluation and development of Kadavu and

Wainivau from cash flow generated at Nasivi

Why Invest in Dome?

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Each of Dome’s projects has something special:

  • Nasivi Delta: potential for quick progression to cash flow to fuel future

growth

 Uncomplicated, low cost evaluation process, with excellent access  Could be developed as conventional mineral sand dredging operation  Potential products are titanomagnetite, “green” metal casting sand and quartz reclamation sand  Robust project that can be scaled to match available capital

  • Kadavu (Ono Island): could contain another Emperor Gold Mine
  • Nadrau: potential for world class Namosi-like porphyry copper

deposit(s)
