Core Business • Australia – Lake Johnston Nickel • Kyrgyz Republic – Chanach Copper ‐ Gold Porphyry 5
Lake Johnston Nickel Project (100%) • 250km from Kalgoorlie • Covers 800 km 2 • Two nickel mines in belt: • Emily Anne • Maggie Hays • 14Mt @ 1.82% Nickel • 250km to Port Esperance • 100km to Rail • Existing Infrastructure 6
Key Prospects • Along strike from Norilsk mines • Key prospects – Lake Percy – Mt Gordon/Mt Glasse • Same geology • Same stratigraphy • Same Potential 7
Lake Percy Nickel Sulphide Targets • Historical nickel sulphide results of: • 3m @ 1.7% Ni • 8m @ 0.98% Ni • Nine new nickel sulphide targets (conductive zones) identified on/near basal contact of ultramafic • Diamond Drilling – July 2012 – 1200 ‐ 1800 metres 8
Lake Percy Nickel Targets vs. Norilsk Mines Lake Percy - WCN Nickel Mine – Norilsk Same Stratigraphy Same Potential Same Geology 9
Lake Percy vs. Norilsk Mine ‐ Section Lake Percy – WCN Nickel Mine - Norilsk 10
Mt Gordon Nickel Sulphide Targets • Four strong geophysical nickel targets identified on/near basal contact of ultramafic • Overlying nickel rich laterite – Ultramafic at depth – BIF unit (cf. Norilsk) – Minimal Exploration • Multiple additional targets south of Mt Gordon • Geophysics planned 11
Mt Gordon ‐ Cross Section • Four Targets – Same Geology – Same Stratigraphy – Same Location – Same Potential • Diamond Drilling – August 2012 – 1200m 12
Mt Glasse Nickel Sulphide Targets • Six strong geophysical nickel targets identified on/near basal contact of ultramafic • Overlying Nickel laterite – Ultramafic at depth – BIF unit (cf. Norilsk) – Minimal Exploration • Planned geophysics to better define targets • Good road access to all sites 13
Lake Johnston ‐ Summary • Historical nickel sulphide results of: • 3m @ 1.7% Ni • 8m @ 0.98% Ni • Nineteen new nickel sulphide targets (conductive zones) identified on/near basal contact of ultramafic • Diamond Drilling – July 2012 – 2400 metres 14
Chanach Copper ‐ Gold Kyrgyz Republic – Central Asia • Major copper & gold metallogenic province – 2000km long – From China to Uzbekistan • Politically stable • Good road Infrastructure • Major regional mines include: – Kumptor (20 M Oz gold) – Makmal (5 M Oz gold) – Kalmakyr (9.5 Mt Cu;40 M Oz Au) 15

The Chanach Copper ‐ Gold Porphyry (45%) • Potential for 100’s of millions of tonnes • Grades to date range from 0.2% copper ‐ 2% copper • Initial drilling covers 500 by 400 metre area • Mineralisation open in all directions • Copper and gold mineralisation identified 5km away 18
Copper ‐ Gold Porphyry Deposits • Copper ‐ gold rich magma injects itself into crust • Deposits are zoned • Typically 100’s of millions to billions of tonnes • Average grades from 0.3% copper to ~1% copper Diagram after Lowell and Guilbert 1970 19
Chanach Tenement Outcropping Porphyry 2011 Drilling (next slide) Alteration Targets 20
Chanach Drilling Results • Extensive Copper Mineralisation • 18 of 20 drill holes mineralised • Drill hole depths ranged from 100m to 350m • Significant Copper grades (and associated gold) • 80 metres at 0.5% copper in supergene zone including; • 10 metres at 1% copper • 40 metres at 0.5% copper in supergene zone • 180 metres at 0.2% copper and 0.15 g/t gold including; • 34 metres at 0.40% copper and 0.26 g/t gold 21
