Altona Overview and Objectives

A 8,000ktpa copper producer at Outokumpu in Finland with by-product gold, silver and zinc

Considering production expansion at Outokumpu dependent on further reserve/resource growth from current deep drill program

Completed a US$250m NPV Definitive Feasibility Study for the Little Eva project, which is within Altona’s 100% owned Roseby copper project near Mt Isa, Queensland

Little Eva could produce 39,000tpa copper and 17,000oz of gold per year over a mine life in excess of 10 years at a C1 cash cost of US $1.73/lb

Pursuing a range of transactions to realise value / develop Roseby, with the overriding objective being to maximise value for its shareholders

DFS Update

 DFS costs were top of market −

Mining contractor rates down 5-10% from DFS estimates

Engineering margins down

 Resource/Reserves −

Incorporate post DFS drilling at Turkey Creek, Lady Clayre and Ivy Ann

Little Eva resource/reserve re- modelling

 Outlook −

Lower operating costs

Lower capital costs

Longer mine life (>11 years)

 Copper only deposits comprise ‘Native
