MOLYBDENUM is known for its use in production

  • f steel alloys due to its:

Strength Weld ability Corrosion resistance The uses for Molybdenum, especially in the area of environmental pollution control, are expanding on a yearly basis at a rapid rate: Major demand from huge oil pipeline infrastructure Nuclear reactor construction Ideal for severe abrasive conditions Used in sulfur scrubber towers Brewery and Piping systems Pollution control equipment

Molybdenum - The 21st Century Metal

slide-7
SLIDE 7

Metal Analysts are predicting an increase in demand of 5 to 7% annually during the next decade for molybdenum with only a moderate increase in production. Demand for molybdenum is being driven by: Oil pipelines, both new and old being replaced, with an estimated demand of 500 to 600 million lbs of molybdenum Nuclear reactors and waste storage facilities that will require at least 400 to 500 million lbs of molybdenum Coal liquefaction and tar sands oil expansion requiring large amounts of molybdenum as a catalyst Increased activity in off-shore drilling for oil and gas, expected to rise 30% over 10 years Continuing high rates of industrialization in China, India, Russia and Brazil NEW USE: Agriculture shows applying 0.5 to 1lb Mo per acre improves crop yields by 30% Molybdenum is benign to environment. The entire worlds yearly production of Molybdenum would be required to cover just the USA agricultural land. Increased interest from Asia – Japan and Korea building ‘strategic’ moly inventories

  • Excellent recoveries of Mo, Cu, Ag, even from low grade material
  • Cleaner Concentrate Recoveries (3 cleaning stages):

Cu-Ag zone: 82.2% Mo, 63.3% Cu,71.6% Ag Cu-Mo zone: 93.7% Mo, 88.6% Cu and 80.0% Ag Mo zone : 96.2% Mo, 81.8% Cu and 58.3% Ag

  • No problematic minerals such as pyrite, clay or talc.
  • Straight forward flotation mill flow sheet, low reagent consumption and thus low
  • perating cost.
  • Preliminary tests indicate tailings are acid neutralizing (non-acid generating), which will

result in substantial cost savings and faster permitting.

  • Able to produce two concentrates : Cu with Ag (>20% Cu) and Mo (>50%)
  • Cu concentrate sold to smelter, Mo concentrate roasted at CUMO controlled facility.
  • Preliminary Tungsten recoveries indicate 40% from concentrator and 26% from tables.

Chemical recovery techniques are being examined to replace the tables.

  • By-product rhenium and sulphuric acid quantities are recoverable. 1 ton of MoS2

concentrate will produce 31 to 35 gms Rhenium and 2 tons of Sulphuric acid

Notice:

As per 43-101 section 2.3(3b), the next series of slides contain the results of an independent Preliminary Economic Assessment managed by Ausenco Minerals Inc. and the following statement is required:

The preliminary assessment is preliminary in nature, and includes inferred resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized.

Assumptions and qualification made in the assessment are listed. It should also be noted that the terms Ore and Stockpile are used, as defined in the Preliminary Economic assessment for the purposes of producing an economic analysis.

CUMO Preliminary Economics - Highlights

Examination of the results of the assessment, indicates that an initial production rate of 100,000 to 150,000 tons per day is best. In the future Mosquito will focus on an initial production rate of 125,000 tons per day for the first 7 years and then add an additional 50,000 tons per day of capacity. A second addition is also possible. * PIT LIFE is total tons of stockpile and ore inside the pit design divided by production rate. The current mineral resource only defines a portion of the total ore and

stockpile material within the pit designs and additional drilling is required to confirm that it is actually there.

CUMO Preliminary Economics Potential Improvements

  • Pre-strip costs can be removed, if waste material is used to construct low impact Hydroelectric facilities.

Costs would be paid for by the Hydro project in return for guaranteed take or pay power contract.

  • Mine equipment costs currently used are full price with no discount for volume. Existing examples indicate

a cost saving of 20-25% is possible by combining purchase and long term maintenance contracts.

  • Tailings dam costs, a major capital cost item is currently higher than other existing and proposed tailings

facilities and needs to be studied in detail to determine actual costs.

  • Mining Costs: haulage routes and truck speeds need to be optimized as the cost to mine and move waste

is two to three times more than the cost of ore. Detailed analysis needs to be done to improve these numbers and reduce costs.

  • Crushing and haulage costs can be reduced by determining the best time to use in-pit crushing,

instead of near pit crushing. Highland Valley Mine uses semi-mobile in-pit crushers to reduce costs.

  • Milling costs: Increasing grinding size, from the current fine grind, would substantially reduce power costs

and also the wear and tear of the mill liners and balls. This can save between $1 and $1.50 per ton.

  • Ausenco recommends a detailed examination of the reagents used in the mill process. The current design

includes an expensive molybdenum collector, which may not be required and the lack of a pyrite suppressor which would improve concentrate grades, thus reducing costs.

  • Detailed studies of the operating cost for the combined roaster and acid plant is required as the current

numbers are only rough estimates. Detailed examination of the assessment indicates areas to be studied that could reduce capital (25%) and mining costs ($1 to $1.50/ton) and substantially improve the economics.

  • Filing of Environmental Assessment (EA) for public review and granting of permit for additional access.
  • Initiate engineering studies to finalize locations for mill, tailing and waste dump sites. Contract various

engineering specialists for the tasks.

  • Initiate bankable feasibility metallurgy study with 3.5 tonne bulk sample and 100 – 20 Kg variability study
  • Continue water baseline studies and initiate environmental studies required for permitting production.
  • Start Dialogue with local power company in regards to Hydro electric power potential.
  • Start dialogue with local fertilizer companies to examine potential usages of Molybdenum in tailings for

fertilizer production.

  • Start 2010 drilling program with holes designed to produce final outline of deposit for reserve

calculation/final pit designs, geotechnical drilling to determine pit wall stabilities and metallurgical holes for bulk sample.
