El Salto “Refining the Discovery”
6 km
El Salto Map
El Salto Mining 101
• Size of Inverse Polarity (IP) and geochemical anomoly (6km x 1.5km) can host up to 10 world class copper-moly deposits
• Logistics are excellent and conducive to lower-cost production methods
• Only 12 drill holes over 6 kilometres strike length leaves tremendous exploration potential– Has encouraged major companies to review this project
El Salto - Project Overview
• TNR owns 100%
• Porphyry Cu-Au-Mo targets
• 3,300 hectare property lies in the Precordillera of the eastern Andes; altitude of about 1600m
• Ideal infrastructures in place, power, water, road, & nearby town, Calingastas, for local labor.
• Area appears to be one of a series of porphyry copper molybdenum systems known as the “Yellow Belt” of San Juan Province
Drill Location Map (Chargeability overlay)
El Salto – Proximity to Infrastructures
Paved Highway and Power
El Salto
• Detailed geological mapping:
• Systematic rock sampling
• Geophysical IP survey
• Phase 1 12-Hole drill program of 6,500 metres completed
• Confirmed large chargeable anomaly: 5km by 1.5km
• Assays and results:– 55.35 metres of 0.205% Copper
& 0.012% Molybdenum
Confirms mineralization and large copper-molybdenum porphyry system
El Tapau Map
El Tapau Mining 101
• Unique in that it has 3 distinct targets– High grade gold– High grade copper-gold– Low grade copper-gold porphyry target
• Only 7 drill holes so far and have only tested part of high grade copper-gold and gold targets with very encouraging results.– Attractive infrastructure – near town, workable year-round– Follow up and geological work and additional drilling is
recommended believing this property has the potential to host a significant resource
• No drill holes on copper-gold porphyry target yet• High grade copper is over 4.5 km in strike length with record of
past producer at one end and over 80m of 0.55% copper at other end
El Tapau - Project Overview
• Intrusive-related high-sulphidation gold system
• 130 Km West of San Juan, in San Juan province, Eastern Andes
• Strategically located in proximity to El Salto property
• Road accessible year-round
• Option to acquire a 70% interest
• Systematic sampling yielded gold values averaging 2.2 g/t from 157 sample sites
• Underlying IP chargeability anomaly
• Open for expansion to the northwest
El Tapau – Project Summary
• Detailed geological mapping: completed
• Trenching: completed
• Geophysical IP survey complete
7-Hole Drill Program completed– Extended tourmaline breccia zone over 4.5 kilometres!– Hole #1 Results very positive – 82.25 metres of 0.49% Copper
Los Azules Map
Los Azules - Project Overview
• Joint Venture with MIM Argentina / Xstrata Copper
• 25% back-in right after feasibility study*
• Minera Andes has subsequently optioned project from Xstrata
• 8100 hectares located in El Indio gold belt
• Strategic Land Holding adjacent to Los Azules – Escorpio IV*
• Los Azules 43-101 Inferred Resource released September 2008
*Exact terms, Escorpio IV ownership, and expiration of back-in time frame currently under dispute with Xstrata
Los Azules – Large Copper Resource with Positive Mine Potential
• Inferred Resource 43-101 & Prelimenary Assessment Calculated– Mineral Resource of 922 million tonnes of 0.55% ~ 11.2 billion lbs Copper
– Net Present Value (NPV) of $2.9 Billion U SD, IRR of 22%, $70/tonne treatment charge, capital payback in 6.4 years
– 23.6 years mine life at $0.85 per pound copper mined

Shotgun Gold Deposit
Iliamna Property
Alaska Mining 101
• Shotgun is potentially a world-class sized gold deposit similar to Donlin Creek, being put into production by Barrick and has a resource of 25 million ounces gold.
– Intrusively related gold system – one of few in world and could host several million of ounces
– Currently has one million ounces gold deposit which TNR owns 50%
• Iliamna is a large porphyry copper target similar geologically to Pebble deposit, currently developed by Anglo American.
• This area has seen a lot of interest this year due to development of Donlin Creek and Pebble and will likely see more interest due to higher price of gold
• Both these assets are being held by Bristol Explorations to be spun off in similar fashion as International Lithium to bring additional shareholder value
– We believe a well structured spin-off company would be better suited to raise capital for projects of this magnitude
Shotgun: Intrusion Related Gold
• Project objectives: build a large, economic resource comprising both high-grade and low-grade deposits
• TNR earned a 50% interest by spending US$3.1 Million over 4 years
• Shotgun Zone • Resource of 980,000 ounces
grading 0.93 g/t gold at a 0.5 g/t cut-off*
• *Non-compliant resource• In 2006 DDH 06-43 returned
210m of 1.29g/t Au indicating zone is open at depth. Feeder zone identified
• Feeder zone open at depth!• Winchester: Gold Bearing Sills
Tintina Gold Province
• Productive Province: Donlin, Fort Knox, Pogo, Brewery Creek, …
Claims and Target Areas
• Shotgun Ridge
– Open at depth, feeder zone identified
• King South
– New drill ready target
– Mineralized breccia (like Shotgun Ridge)
• Winchester
– Ongoing development of gold bearing sill targets
• 55 holes, 6,194m drilling
Geophysics Conclusions1. Better understanding of extent of Shotgun
Pluton
2. Intrusive phases indicated by subtle lows: too subtle, too many targets
3. Structural breaks and other related results
4. Highs often hornfels (pluton exception)
Shotgun Ridge Style:
Strongly albitized, silicified, bleached and brecciated core from 06-43. Breccia and veining could extend into the hornfels.

Iliamna Property Overview
• Less than 50 miles away from Pebble Deposit of Northern Dynasty (NDM.to)
• Pebble is one of largest copper-porphyry systems in the world containing 18.8 billion lbs Copper31.3 million ounce Gold265 million pounds Molybdenum 3026 million tonnes of ore – just at Pebble West!
• Northern Dynasty partners with London-Based Anglo American
• Pebble is estimated to be worth $100 Billion given 2007 metal prices
• Iliamna is a large porphyry copper target similar geologically to Pebble deposit, currently developed by AngloGold.
• This area has seen a lot of interest this year due to development of Donlin Creek and Pebble and will likely see more interest due to higher price of gold
Iliamna – Located on “Ring of Fire”As seen with various other major deposits around the world
