4. Project Development Strategy Growth strategy to generate shareholder value

1. Deliver forecast cash flow from Fossey Mine

  • Complete drill out and feasibility study on Fossey East.

  • Ongoing project/systems/risk review.

2. Assess & potentially develop 1.5M oz gold(eq) resource

  • Gold DFS in progress.

  • Seek technical and or financial partners for development.

3. Increase mine life to underpin long-term cash flow

  • Resources to reserves (Fossey East/Hellyer/Que River).

  • extensional exploration drilling around known resources.

4. Discovery Bass is a successful explorer

4. Discovery Bass is a successful explorer

Tasmania – an exciting well mineralised address

  • Mt Read volcanic belt – world class volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) terrain.

  • • Tasmanian VMS deposits are large tonnage & polymetallic ; Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au.

Fossey Zone-an example of new exploration potential

  • Historic drilling focussed on “traditional” VMS target zone.

  • New discoveries lie deeper than this.

  • Opens up significant new targets

Fossey Fossey East 20.4m at 16.3% Zn, 7.2% Pb, 0.6% Cu, 104 g/t Ag & 2.4 g/t Au.

7.0 metres at 22.3 % Zn, 9.9 % Pb, 0.7% Cu, 3.4 g/t Au & 181 g/t Ag Within:

11.1 metres at 14.9 % Zn, 6.5 % Pb, 0.7% Cu, 2.6 g/t Au & 130 g/t Ag.

25 metres to south – new intercept 1.7 metres at 21.9 % Zn, 14.7 % Pb, 1.0 % Cu, 2.3 g/t Au & 182 g/t Ag Drilling in-progress to the north

New mineralisation in a new geological position

4. Discovery

New prospective geological position – “unconventional VMS target”

==> picture [609 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [119 x 97] intentionally omitted <==

  • Highly prospective –under tested.

  • Potential in both the conventional and unconventional VMS stratigraphic position.

• Requires detailed targeted and pattern drilling- utilising new tools in the toolbox for proximity- geology, mineralisation, alteration, trace element geochemistry and geophysics.

7. Value Proposition Value Upside

Broker Valuation (12 September 2011)

  • Helmsec valuation range: from A$105M to A$144M, not including exploration upside or Plant.

  • Equates to A$0.39 to A$0.54 per share on diluted basis post Offer*.

Key Value Drivers:

  • Production - robust and established production, with revenue from base metals (70%) and precious metals (30%): c. $55m in next 18 months.

  • Polymetallic resources – Hellyer, Que River & Fossey East.

  • Gold & Silver Resources – 2 Million Ounces Gold (eq)

  • Exploration upside – highly mineralised area with a track record of discovery and new prospectivity.

  • Processing Plant – modern 1.5mtpa plant.

Strong Exploration Upside Underpinned by Production

  • Based only on ordinary shares , does not include C-Note or Options

Notes on Metal Prices and Gold Equivalence

  • Metal prices effecting the gold equivalent calculation are : Gold A$1,430/oz and silver A$35.6/ozs. This generates a Au:Ag ration of 1:40.1. This has been conservatively modified to 1:45 to complete the equivalence calculation based only on contained silver and gold in the respective resources in Table 4 and 5.

  • The grades for the calculation of a Au equivalent grade are from the respective combined resource estimates presented in Tables 4 and 5.

  • No recoveries or other modifying factors have been applied in the calculation. Au is the chosen metal for reporting equivalence as it is potentially the more valuable.
