Tamaya Project

10

Uniquely positioned exploration project covering an extraordinarily high-grade historic copper mining field

Why is Tamaya an attractive exploration project?:

1) World class mineral province - located in a major Chilean metallogenic belt near major mines and deposits

2) Large project area (6,890 ha) offers large tonnage potential

3) Established infrastructure nearby - supports timely, low-cost exploration, and future development and operation

4) Historic mining field, no modern systematic exploration – copper production of 2Mt @ 12%* recovered in the period up to the 19th Century

5) Exploration confirming copper potential – mapping, sampling and geophysics – highlight geological potential

6) Multiple mineralisation and drill targets – high-grade sulphides, bulk tonnage oxides and porphyry targets

* Non JORC data
