Exceptional Partner: Chinalco
Chinalco is world’s 2 [nd] largest
alumina producer & 3 [rd] largest
Chinalco’s 56% holding in YCI
primary aluminum producer
gives it indirect holding of 11.9%
Chinalco 56%
in CYU, the only Chinalco branded
offshore exploration company
Yunnan
Copper
Industry
Group (YCI)
21.3%
Chinalco Yunnan
YCI is China’s 3 [rd] largest Copper Resources
copper producer and essentially (CYU) CYU has led Chinalco
an arm of Chinalco
into Chile for the first time
The relationship provides economically
beneficial projects & a gateway into
potential & future projects
----- End of picture text -----
Most active period in the company’s history:
-
Currently drilling major porphyry copper systems in Chile with Rio Tinto
-
Second Rio Tinto JV to be drilled IMMEDIATELY following current program
-
Currently performing resource calculation AND continuing drilling at our new discovery in the Mt Isa region – 122.7m @ 0.55% Cu, 317 ppm Co. uranium & rare earths
-
Currently drilling Zambian style coppersilver projects in Laos with results pending from recently completed programs in Laos – JV operated by Chinalco
-
Laos – Chinalco smelters nearby – natural path for monetising discoveries. Projects are advanced & have Chinese resources –
JORC process underway. Potential for rapid development & cash flow using Chinalco infrastructure
-
Tier 1 partners: Chinalco Yunnan Copper, Rio Tinto & Xstrata Copper
-
Three tier strategy:
Targeting giant porphyry systems in Chile ; building on major discoveries in Mt Isa region; pushing towards development in Laos
Copper Silver – Laos: Chinalco managed, drilling currently, near term cashflow Copper – Chile : Major porphyry systems being drilled

Suggestive that the 6km untested shear between Mary Kathleen & Elaine is host to multiple deposits
ELAINE/MARY KATHLEEN: 6 KMS OF UNTESTED STRIKE BETWEEN THE TWO
==> picture [564 x 271] intentionally omitted <==
As per Mary K, recent modeling indicates Mary K Shear feeds near horizontal mineralisation – in this copper greater than 0.4% is depicted based on 23 holes drilled so far – main target remains the Mary K Shear with highest grades of copper
-
Largest copper mines in the world
-
Multi-billion ton operations
-
Dominated by world’s top copper companies
-
Opportunity for a major discovery

-
2000m diamond drill program is underway at Candelabro
-
60km north is Caramasa to be drilled immediately following Candelabro
-
Adjacent to Peruvian border. Major structures run into Peru. Chile better jurisdiction
-
Caramasa – RIO JV seeking major multi-porphyry systems. Major system targeting major resources
-
How did this Opportunity arise? Chinalco relationship. Previous working relationship with Rio
-
Exceptional large size targets only possible in this region
-
Palmani also Rio JV – drilling preparations also underway in coming months

-
Humitos 100% CYU-owned claims plus farming into enveloped Xstrata copper property
-
CYU/Rio Tinto JV
-
Four diamond holes commenced – underway
-
• The system has had geological mapping, sampling & geophysical profiles completed to allow drill targeting
-
• Significant fieldwork at excellent technical level completed by Rio

FOCUS ON SHORT TERM CASH FLOW
-
Development & production options through Yunnan Copper & Chinalco. Chinalco smelters situated in nearby Kunming
-
Zambian-style sediment hosted copper silver deposits
-
Corporate target 100Mt @ 1% copper & 120g/t silver
-
JORC Resource drill outs currently taking place at Xinzhai & Juizhai
-
Any resources discovered are of great value given straightforward development pathway

XINZHAI DRILLING:
Hole XZP001 is to test the dipping extension of known mineralisation defined by trenches & adits. Visual copper silver intercepts, assay results due in coming weeks
