ASX-Listed Mining & Exploration Scene
• The ASX listed mining & exploration investment scene is knowledgeable, vibrant and enthusiastic.
• There are approximately 572 mining & exploration companies (i.e. with a minerals & mining focus) listed on ASX as primary listing [ looking at a subset of the Materials Index (XMJ)].
• The 572 Minerals companies comprise • 85 Producers, and • 487 Explorers.
Company data is based on BSM research utilising Minmet/Intiera online data services and free online date services.

Growth - by exploration success Elephant hunting
Committed to discovery:
Positive results to date – Que, Hellyer, Iris River and Heazlewood Dominant tenement position - in Mt Read Volcanic belt. (1,200km[2] ) 2 to 4 diamond drill rigs active through the past year Spending A$4 to $5M pa on exploration Exploration base at Hellyer – staff of c.12 plus drilling contractors Experienced & dedicated team – locally based. Completed approximately 10,000m of diamond core drilling in past year Forged key exploration alliance with Zinifex (major global Zn producer)
Utilised cutting edge data processing technologies through JV with Geoinformatics to generate new targets

BSM-an Investors perspective Funding Que River and further growth
Core strategy – develop advanced projects to generate revenue and maintain major exploration activity to find an “elephant”.
• Mine development –leads to incremental value increase • Finding an Elephant will lead to exponential value growth This strategy attracts both equity and debt funding:
• To date investors have supported BSM with A$13.4M of funding (still have c. A$5M in cash).
• Now negotiating for bank funding for Que River.
Challenge for BSM is to maintain the two strategy elements – to create value through revenue growth and asset growth (i.e. Mineral Resources.)
BSM-an Investors perspective
BSM is capitalising on a unique development & investment opportunity in Tasmania, Australia:
• Utilising an experienced minerals venture capital equity market via ASX and local resource lenders
• NW Tasmania
– one of the most intensely mineralised geological terrains in the world.
– Long history of mining +150 years
– Excellent transport & power infrastructure
– Excellent mining & processing infrastructure – BSM is not building a plant.
– Highly trained & experienced work force & service Coy.s – Supportive Govt.
