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

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

dated March 20, 2012. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance upon the forward-looking statements contained in this news

(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.
