Forward-looking statements

Certain statements in this presentation constitute “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Ivanplats Limited (the “Company”), or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information. Such statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “would”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, and other similar terminology, or state that certain actions, events or results “may” or “would” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that may or may not prove to be correct, and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and accordingly should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indicators of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward- looking statements set forth in this presentation. These factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the matters described in the Final Prospectus of the Company dated October 17, 2012, (the “Final Prospectus”), which includes a discussion under the heading “Forward Looking Statements” regarding relevant forward-looking statements and the assumptions, risks and uncertainties related thereto that are important to an understanding of the forward-looking statements included in this presentation; and (ii) those risks and uncertainties affecting the Company which are included throughout the most recent MD&A of the Company. Investors are directed to the “Risk Factors” section of the Final Prospectus and of the most recent MD&A of the Company, which identify in detail several of the important risks relating to the Company that may have an impact on the forward-looking statements included in this presentation, copies of which are available on under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based upon the Company’s current expectations and are made as of the date

  • f this presentation. The Company cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements and they

are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statements. Subject to applicable securities laws, the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this presentation. IMPORTANT INFORMATION This presentation relating to the Company is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities to the public in the United States and should not be considered as a recommendation that any person should subscribe for or purchase any securities of the Company.

  • For almost a generation, Ivanplats has been

effectively developing its core strengths in Africa’s mineral fields.

  • Launched in 1994 as African Gold and began

exploring in South Africa.

  • Active in Democratic Republic of Congo

since 1996.

  • US$255 million from private financings

invested in projects to end of 2011.

  • Japanese investors, led by trading house

Itochu, invested US$290 million for a 10% stake in the Platreef PGM Discovery in South Africa.

  • 18 years of company-building field experience
  • Exceptional exploration successes

  • In October 2012, Ivanplats began trading on the TSX following

a successful IPO that raised CDN$306 million (US$308 million).

  • Total equity issued in connection with IPO was CDN$499 million

(US$501 million), including conversion into common shares

  • f CDN$193 million in pre-IPO bonds.
  • Largest Canadian mining IPO since 2010.

Successful IPO and TSX listing in October 2012 marked a new beginning for Ivanplats

Note: These exploration targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define the exploration targets as a mineral resource. It is uncertain whether further exploration will result in these exploration targets being delineated as a mineral resource. For a discussion on the material assumptions of the exploration targets, please refer to the Platreef Technical Report.

Untested areas: 37.5 km2 Step-out drill hole

This area contains: Indicated – 223Mt @ 4.1 g/t 4PE, 0.34% nickel, 0.16% copper. Inferred – 410 Mt @ 3.3 g/t 4PE, 0.32% nickel, 0.18% copper.

Kamoa Copper Project

  • First major Copperbelt discovery in DRC since early 1900s.
  • The world’s largest undeveloped high-grade copper

discovery.

  • Positioned to become a low-cost copper producer using

conventional mining methods.

Kamoa 43-101-Compliant Mineral Resource, December 2012

Note: Mineral Resources have an effective date of December 10, 2012. Mineral Resources are reported using a total copper (Cu) cut-off grade of 1% Cu and a minimum assumed mining thickness of 3 metres. A 1% Cu cut-off grade is typical of analogue deposits in Zambia.

Note: The Preliminary Economic Assessment is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the projected results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment will be realized. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
