DTM - INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
----- End of picture text -----
-
Positive outlook for Molybdenum (Mo) - currently@ US$30,000/t LME
-
Discovered a potentially world class Mo + Cu + Ag porphyry deposit
-
Strong similarities to Henderson a world class Mo mine in Colorado
-
Maiden JORC resource announced – Open at Depth
-
Total resource – 105Mt at 0.07% Mo equivalent
-
Indicated resource from surface – 29Mt at 0.09% Mo equivalent
-
Resource grade > many other Australian Mo explorers
-
Indicated and Inferred resource grade > Endako Mine in British Columbia
-
Very positive scoping study metallurgical results
-
High recoveries achieved for Mo (92.3%) + Cu (96.1%) + Ag (82.6%) to concentrate
-
Separate saleable concentrates (51% Mo + 23% Cu/Ag) produced
-
Recoveries achieved at 75 micron grind – coarser grind appears achievable
-
Ball mill work index confirmed as being low to medium
-

Unicorn deposit - significant resource upgrade potential with additional drilling – wall rock and surrounding breccia are mineralised with good grades of Mo, Cu and Ag intersected previously. These mineralised zones have not been included in the maiden resource due to drill spacing being too broad. Note 1: Based on relative value (with reference to the average price of each metal in the 3 months 1 July to 30 September 2011 listed on the LME for - Mo US$33,127 per tonne / Cu US$9061 per tonne / Ag US$38.90 per ounce.

SUMMARY
----- End of picture text -----
-
DTM has discovered a new mineralised porphyry province
-
Largely underexplored but with strong pipeline of porphyry targets
-
Strong similarities to Henderson a world class primary Mo mine
-
Unicorn Deposit - classic mineralised porphyry
-
Total resource 105Mt @ 0.07% Mo Equiv
-
Indicated resource 29Mt @ 0.09% Mo Equiv
-
High recoveries achieved for Mo (92.3%) + Cu (96.1%) + Ag (82.6%)
-
� u u ced Separate saleable concentrates (51% Mo + 23% C /Ag) prod
-
