Creating Value Through Greenfield Exploration…

  • Major land holding in proven Proterozoic Paterson Province

  • Sharing risk at appropriate points to maximise exploration upside

  • New copper and zinc discoveries made by ENR

  • Telfer region gold prospects advancing

3

==> picture [960 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

…in a New Search Space…

  • Sand covered mineral belt with proven fertility

  • Outcropping discoveries made in 1970-80s (Nifty, Telfer, Kintyre)

  • Minimal subsurface exploration activity up to 2005

  • Encounter has discovered two new mineral systems so far:

  • BM1-BM7 Copper

  • Millennium Zinc

The Investment Case

  • Under-cover frontier exploration to create enduring value

  • Exposure to large scale copper and zinc exploration upside

  • Large land position in district with proven fertility and active majors (>1850km[2] )

  • Risk sharing at appropriate points to maximise return for ENR shareholders

  • Leading global resources funds on register (Sprott, RCF, Thorney, Eye Investment Fund)

  • Sound cash position supplemented by Antofagasta & Hampton Hill farm-ins

  • Drilling in progress testing advanced exploration targets
