- 90% interest in two prospective coal assets located in Southern Kyrgyzstan.
- The Bel-Alma project is potentially a large tonnage, high quality thermal coal project. The total licence area is 278 hectares.
- The Sary-Mogol project consists of a 8 hectare development licence covering an area of previous open cut mining activity.
- Kyrgyzstan is a net importer of thermal coal , so th i i l here is potential to l h supply the domestic market.
- Both Projects are close to the Chinese border (another potential end user of the coal).

- Management: Highly experienced Board and Management in place.
- Fi M rst over: Vi h d i ifi f h ld i hi hl i k View has secured a significant foot hold in a highly prospective area known to have extensive coal deposits, with other potential acquisitions under consideration. View intends to advance this position by building strong relationships with government and other stakeholders in the region.
- Cheap entry: With a market capitalisation of circa \$18.3m and an enterprise value of circa \$13 2 (b d \$0 016 di i ) h h i h \$13.2m (based on \$0.016 trading price), the current share price represents a cheap entry into a highly prospective company.
- Right Location: The Kyrgyzstan coal projects are in close proximity to China and other potential end users, as well as located in a country with strong and growing domestic demand.
- Significant exploration upside: The coal projects have had limited past exploration and offer very significant upside through drilling and modern exploration techniques.
- Further Opportunities: Multiple quality additional projects available for acquisition.
- Tightly held register: A significant proportion of shares are held in 'tight' hands.

Kyrgyzstan - Location


Location of Coal Projects



- The Bel-Alma Project is located in the Naukat district of the Osh region in Kyrgyzstan.
- The tenement is 70km from the rail station Kyzyl-Kiya, and 70km from Osh, one of the largest cities in Kyrgyzstan - currently proposing to have a rail terminal for the Trans-Asia railway.
- Based on visible inspection of the coal at surface and from trenching the true thickness of the Bel Alma coal seam is estimated to be between 30 - 75m, averaging 45m, with interbed thickness of less than 1m.
- Historical exploration includes six trenches with a total length of 627m and an approximate depth of 2m each, from which 238 samples were taken and analyzed.
- Results from surface sampling undertaken by consultants working for View Resources ind l lhh h l l dicate relatively high energy thermal coal with 9 out of l 10 samples returning calorific values above 5,500 kcal/kg on an "as received" basis.
- Encouragingly 4 out of l d l ifi l f 10 samples returned calorific values above 7,000 kcal/kg.

Bel-Alma Cross Sections





Note that the potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. View Resources Limited intends to carry out a drilling program to collect sufficient coal quality and density data to enable this Exploration Target to be tested but it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
Bel-Alma Project Outcropping Coal Seams


Bel-Alma Project Trench Sampling



- Located at the southern foot of the Alay Mountain ridge between the Southern Sarymogol and Dzhiltiksu rivers.
- Recent coal production from the Sary Mogol tenement area means that it is ready for quick mine start up, with majority of equipment and workforce still avail bl ae.
- Two coal seams (visible at surface) have been identified and mined at the Sary Mogol Project.
- Based on visual inspection the upper seam is between 7.3 and 10.3m thick, with an average thickness of 8.22m. The lower seam is between 6.7 and 9.6m thick but contains interbeds of waste material such as arg y illites and clays.
- Currently no JORC compliant resources, but View Resources intends to immediately undertake a drilling program which, if successful, may enable the company to define a J p ORC compliant resource in 2012.
- Results from surface sampling undertaken by consultants working for View Resources indicate relatively high energy thermal coal with 3 out of 4 samples returning calorific values above 5 500 kcal/kg on an "as of 4 above 5,500 received" basis.

"The most important thing today is stability because without stability y y Kyrgyzstan has no future"
- For the first time, on 10 October 2010, Kyrgyzstan held free and fair parliamentary elections.
- Ky gy r z citizens voted in a referendum in June 2011 in favour of the introduction of a parliamentary democracy and constitutional changes, including curbing presid ti l idential powers.
- The country is now the first parliamentary democracy in Central Asia, a region dominated by authoritarian leaders.
- Almazbek Atambaev was elected President and commenced his new role on 1 January 2012.
- In his opening address called for ethnic harmony and on all political camps to unite to assure Kyrgyzstan's future prosperity.



- Kyrgyzstan is historically known for its natural resources and ideally placed to supply its closest neighbour China with much needed minerals and other resources.
- During the time of the Soviet Union Kyrgyzst Union, Kyrgyzstan was designated as the main supplier of an was raw materials to the rest of the republics.
- Kyrgyzstan's coal reserves have been estimated at about 27 billion tonnes, of which the majority remained entirely unexploited unexploited.
- Approximately 3 billion tonnes of this amount is judged to be of highest quality.
- The development of these coal deposits will be a significant boost to the Kyrgyzstan economy and the Company will work closely with government agencies to ensure that its operations benefit the regions in which they are located.

- Ky gy p p yrgyzstan consumes in excess of 1.5mpta of thermal coal, but the domestic output is only in the order of 500ktpa.
- Consequently, there is a significant domestic market for quality thermal coal.
- Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are both importers of thermal coal and are in close proximity to the Bel-Alma and Sary-Mogol projects.

A d th th i Chi And then there is China...


VRE's Kyrgyzstan Coal Projects are only 80-180km by road from the Chinese border.
- South-east of the Projects is Kashgar which is a major city in the region and has been designated as a new Economic Developmental Zone (EDZ) within China.
- Shandong Iron and Steel Group set to launch a large-scale iron and steel project in Kashgar. Commissioned in July 2012 with estimated cost of RMB 6 billion the production capacity of the project will reach six million tons steel/iron per year once completed.
- Another potential market is Urumqi, a significant steel producing city and capital of Xingiang Province.



- In 2009 China became the world's largest energy consumer, surpassing the United States.
- China's coal consumption is forecast to rise 28 percent between 2009 and 2015 to 2.67 billion tonnes a year according to published year, government figures.
- For China's own electric g pg eneration program, it is building coal-fired generators and currently producing 80 percent of its electricity from coal-fired generation.
- China's coal-fired capacity is already about 80 percent higher than that of the United States and by 2035, it is expected to be more than 200 percent greater.


- China and Kyrgyzstan have agreed to the construction of theTrans - Asia Railway.
- This railway will link China - Ky gy r zstan – Uzbekistan.
- The railway is anticipated to be comp y leted within 3 years.
- The railway will connect to the Nanjiang line at Kashgar and from there, to the rest of China.
- The Bel-Alma Project lies within 60 kilometres of the proposed railway.

- Sary-Mogol Project - Commence coal mining and production. Complete exploration and drilling programs with the aim of defining a JORC compliant resource.
- Bel-Alma Project - Complete a service road to site. Complete systematic exploration, drilling and sampling programs to define a JORC compliant resource.
- Identify markets for anticipated thermal coal sales (e.g. Sary-Mogol) – including d ti Chi U b ki t d th dj t t i domestic, China, Uzbekistan and other adjacent countries.
- Acq ( p y g) p j y gy uire additional thermal (and potentially coking) coal projects in Kyrgyzstan and adjacent/nearby countries.
- Liaise with national and regional government agencies and other stakeholders to ensure all activities comply with relevant regulations.
