  5. Core Business • Australia – Lake Johnston Nickel & Copper Project • Kyrgyz Republic – Chanach Copper-Gold Porphyry 5

  6. Lake Johnston Nickel-Copper Project (100%) • 250km from Kalgoorlie • Covers 650 km 2 • Two nickel sulphide mines in belt: • Emily Anne • Maggie Hays • 14Mt @ 1.82% Nickel • 250km to Port Esperance • 100km to Rail • Existing Infrastructure 6

  7. Multiple Prospects- Multiple Nickel Targets • Key prospects – Lake Percy – Mt Gordon – Bremer Range – Mt Glasse • Multiple Nickel Targets – 20 EM conductors • Discovery Potential 7

  8. Lake Percy Nickel and Copper Targets • Nine new nickel sulphide EM targets • Four copper targets • EM targets similar to Nova discovery and on/near basal contact of ultramafic • Nickel sulphides identified in old drilling include 3m @ 1.7% Ni • 1000m Diamond Drilling 8

  9. Lake Percy Nickel vs. Norilsk Mines - Plan View Lake Percy - WCN Nickel Mines – Norilsk Same Stratigraphy Discovery Potential Same Geology 9

  10. Lake Percy Nickel vs. Norilsk Mine - Section Lake Percy – WCN Nickel Mine - Norilsk 10

  11. Mt Gordon Nickel Sulphide Targets • Four strong EM conductors identified on/near basal contact of ultramafic • Associated nickel-copper soil anomalies • Same Geology as Norilsk Nickel mines • Similar EM conductors to Nova nickel-copper discovery 11

  12. Mt Gordon 1- Cross Section • Four EM Conductors • Three diamond drill holes planned – 1000m • $140,000 EIS Government drill funding • Drilling commences Q4 2012 12

  13. Bremer Range Nickel-Copper Targets • Four strong geophysical EM conductors identified on/near basal contact of ultramafic • Overlying Nickel laterite – Ultramafic at depth – BIF unit (cf. Norilsk) – Minimal Exploration • Planned Exploration: – geophysics to refine targets – diamond drilling 13

  14. Mt Glasse Nickel Sulphide Targets • Three strong geophysical EM Conductors targets identified on/near basal contact of ultramafic • Overlying Nickel laterite – Ultramafic at depth – BIF unit (cf. Norilsk) – Minimal Exploration • Planned Exploration: – geophysics to refine targets – Diamond drilling 14

  15. Lake Johnston - Summary • Multiple EM conductors similar to Nova conductors • Drilling first 6 EM conductors – Q4 2012 – 2000 metres • Two operating nickel mines in entire belt- More to be found! • Highly leveraged to exploration success 15

  16. 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) 16

  17. The Chanach Copper-Gold Porphyry (45%) • ELEPHANT COUNTRY • Significant Copper grades (and associated gold) • 80 metres at 0.5% copper including; 10 metres at 1% copper • 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 • Potential for 100’s of millions of tonnes • Mineralisation open in all directions • Copper and gold mineralisation identified 5km away 17

  21. 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

  22. Interpreted Mineralisation Mineralised Skarn Contact Planned Drilling Planned Drilling 2012 2012 250 500 0 Metres Mineralised Porphyry 22

  23. Chanach 2012 Exploration Program • Objective 1: Double size of mineralised footprint – Extend main mineralised zone (500-1000m RC drilling) – Test Porphyry - limestone contact (Skarn) – Test gold zones • Objective 2: Identify core of Porphyry system – Extensive soil sampling program over alteration targets (1000 samples) – Ground or helicopter magnetic survey (possible) • More Copper - More Gold - More Tonnes 23

  24. Exploration Schedule/News flow – to Dec 2012 Commodity Activity Timing Project MLTEM Q4-12 Nickel DD Drilling Q4-12 Lake Johnston MMI Q4-12 Drilling Q4-12 Copper-Gold Chanach Soil Sampling Q4-12 MMI = Mobile Metal ion soil geochemical sampling MLTEM = Moving Loop Electromagnetic survey 24

  25. Summary • Highly leveraged to exploration success – Sirius Nova nickel-copper discovery reignites interest in exploration sector – High risk/ reward nickel and copper drilling at Lake Johnston • Chanach Copper-Gold Project – Drilling to expand copper-gold mineralisation zone – a sleeping giant - further work will realise scale – Drilling commencing in September 25
