DTM ‐ INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [721 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Positive outlook for Molybdenum (Mo) ‐ currently@ US$33,000/t LME

  • Discovered a new Australian mineralised porphyry province

  • Unicorn deposit Potentially a world class Mo + Cu + Ag porphyry

  • Strong similarities to Henderson a world class Mo mine in Colorado

  • Maiden JORC resource announced – Open at depth / Very low strip ratio

  • Conceptual mining study to focus on production rate of 5 to 10Mtpa

  • • Very positive scoping level study metallurgical results

  • Further drilling planned to commence March 2011

  • Strong pipeline of news catalysts and planned events

PLANNED DRILLING PROGRAMS 2012
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [721 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Phase 1 – Reverse Circulation (RC)  funded from cash reservesFully $2.2 million at bank (1 February)

  • Surface to 250 metres – Approximately 15 holes

  • Move indicated JORC resource to measured – Initiates scoping study

  • T arge t e d JORC resource upgra d e – Late Q2 2012  IP anomaly prospectivity ‐ Potential source of copper in Unicorn

  • Phase2 Diamond Drilling

  • 250 metres to 450 metres – Diamond tails off the Phase 1 RC drilling

  • Inferred JORC resource to indicated – Enables mine design to pit floor  Approximately 10 holes – Sited in consultation with AMC Consultants

  • Phase 3 – Diamond Drillin g

  • 450 metres to 1250 metres – Diamond extensions off existing holes

  • Confirmation that grade improves with depth – Henderson model  Approximately 4 to 6 holes – Enables exploration target to be announced

SUMMARY
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [721 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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 / Strip ratio . < 0 3  Indicated resource 29Mt @ 0.09% Mo Equiv

  • High recoveries achieved for Mo (92.3%) + Cu (96.1%) + Ag (82.6%)

  • Separate saleable concentrates (51% Mo + 23% u C /Ag) prod u cedGrades superior to many other ASX Moly explorers + Endako Mine BC

  • Si nificant resource u rade otential with additional drillin g pg p g

  • Intense IP anomaly to be drilled – potentially the source of Cu in Unicorn  Unicorn grade likely to improve with depth similar to Henderson

  • V ery avoura f bl e pro ec j t a d van t ages  Power, water and roads in close proximity / established logistics chain

  • Strong community and government support / available workforce

  • Unrestricted crown land / no known native title, flora or fauna issues
