Dear Sir/Madam,

In accordance with the Listing Rules, I attach a copy of the Chairman’s address and Managing Director’s presentation to be delivered to shareholders of MGT Resources Limited at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held today.

Yours faithfully,

Alexander Moody Company Secretary

CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

My name is Jonathan Back and on behalf of the board of Directors I wish to welcome you to the Annual General Meeting of MGT Resources Limited, our first as an ASX listed company.

MGT has achieved a number of important corporate and operational milestones during the past twelve months in a challenging economic and regulatory environment. These milestones include:

  • ! The signing of an off-take agreement with Taimetco International Trade Co., Ltd, in October 2012 for 20% of the tin production from the Company’s Mt Garnet Project

  • ! Acquisition of a further shares of MGT Mining Limited to bring our total shareholding to 89.48%. MGT Mining and its subsidiary own 100% of the Mt Garnet Project, Pyramid Gold Project and Southern Queensland Projects.

  • ! Approval of the principal mining lease at Mt Garnet – Summer Hills ML 20547, in January 2013. ML 20547 contains a number of highly prospective tin targets in very close proximity to the Mt Veteran Tin Processing Plant, a company asset.

  • ! Sending our maiden shipment of tin concentrate to a smelter in Asia. The shipment demonstrated that our product can be accepted and processed by a world class LME approved smelter.

  • ! Receiving encouraging results from our Smiths Creek Tin and Pyramid Gold drilling programs, ensuring shareholders a solid pipeline of projects over the coming years.

For MGT to execute on its strategy it must continue to expand its JORC compliant resource base. MGT geologists progressed this in March with the discovery of a rhyolite porphyry dyke at the Dalcouth prospect at the Summer Hills Mining Lease. The presence of porphyry dykes controlling or hosting mineralisation is well known at a number of productive eastern Australian tin deposits, such as Ardlethan and Baal Gammon.

The 2013 Summer Hills Drilling Program that followed this validated the decision to focus on Dalcouth as the first mining target with drilling producing some of the highest grades at shallow depth reported in Australia for some time.

Whilst the drilling program has been progressing, we have been making preparations to upgrade throughput capacity of the Mt Veteran Tin Processing Plant. This includes an application to increase our environmental approval from Level 2 to Level 1 which has been submitted and is currently being processed.

I will elaborate on these points during the AGM presentation.

We move towards the end of 2013 in a strong cash position in what is a tough regulatory environment for Queensland miners and an even tougher economic environment for Australian exploration companies. We are thankful for the support of our funding partners, who are taking a long-term view on the tin market and our various projects. What is encouraging is that the majority of long-term shareholders have remained with the company, and Board and management thank all shareholders for their ongoing support.

The Company took a significant step toward commencing full-­‐scale tin production when the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines approved the principal mining lease at Mt Garnet (ML 20547) in January. ML 20547 contains a number of highly prospective tin targets in very close proximity to the Mt Veteran Mill.

In March, MGT sent its maiden shipment of tin concentrate to a smelter in Asia.

The shipment demonstrated that our product can be accepted and processed by a world class LME approved smelter.

Tin concentrate needs to meet stringent standards in order for a smelter to be prepared to accept it.

Demand for tin is led by the electronics industries in China and Japan: consumption of tin in China and Japan accounts for approximately 50% of global consumption. Demand growth outlook is very positive.
