NI 43-101 who has approved the scientific and technical information in this presentation.
Forward-looking Statements
This presentation contains certain forward-looking information (referred to herein as "forward-looking statements"). Forward-looking
statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "anticipate", "plan", "intend", "estimate", "scheduled",
"expect", "may", "will", "should", or similar words suggesting future activities or outcomes. The forward-looking statements set out in this
presentation include information relating to interests that may be earned by TVIRD in the Agata and Pan de Azucar joint ventures;
opportunities for exploration, development and commercialization of the Agata Mining Project (including the High Fe and Limestone
DSO/Lime Production Facility and the Agata Nickel Processing Plant), and the Pan de Azucar Pyrite Project.
Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or outcomes to differ materially
from those anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (A)
results of further work in pursuing the conceptual planning described in this presentation not supporting current expectations as to the
opportunities outlined; (B) TVIRD not funding the necessary expenditures at Agata or Pan de Azucar to advance the projects or earn an
interest under the joint venture agreements due to, among other things (i) changes in TVIRD's strategic priorities, due diligence findings,
changes in laws or regulations affecting mining operations in the Philippines (including the profitability of such operations), and other
factors, (ii) changes in TVIRD budgets and (iii) limited availability of funds; (C) a determination on the part of TVIRD not to pursue projects
contemplated by one or more of the joint venture agreements noted above for technical, economic, legal or other reasons (including,
without limitation, a failure to obtain required permits or other governmental or regulatory approvals); and (D) certain other risks identified
elsewhere in TVI's public filings, including, without limitation, those risk factors set forth at pp. 46-52 of TVI's annual information form

(1) Historical estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves at Agata are set out in the technical report entitled Technical Report for the Agata Nickel Laterite Project , Mindanao, Philippines” dated 20 December 2011
prepared by Ausenco for Mindoro (the "Agata Report"). Key assumptions, parameters and methods used to prepare the historical estimates are set out in the Agata Report, which uses the categories required by NI 43-
101. The historical estimates in the Agata Report and referred to in this presentation are believed by the Company to be relevant and reliable for the preparation and execution of development plans but the qualified person
named on Slide 2 of this presentation has not verified or done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral
resources or mineral reserves. To upgrade or verify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves would require the completion of a new technical report.
(2) As described in Mindoro’s news release dated February 8, 2012. The potential quantity and grade has been determined by averaging the intercepts from the drill assays. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual
in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource (including number of holes drilled) and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

~US$4/lb - ~US$9000/Mt
• High Ni recovery >90%
• In house scoping study shows robust
economics
• All key elements for plant including
pyrite for sulphuric acid and limestone
readily available

Tanga Isl. – Au-Ag-Cu Epith. Mussau – Au-Ag Epith.
• Immediate goal – develop AB DSO operation
• Potential to be world leader in development
of iron sands projects.
• Through corporate ownership and option TVI
has opportunity to maximise asset value and
share +/-50% of value uplift
