Joint Venture

  • Teck is world’s 2[nd] largest Zinc producer  production expertise

  • US$9B Mkt Cap Financial strength  long term funding

  • • Minimum spend of $1M, including 2,000 metres of drilling (will be completed in 2011)

  • $15M to earn 70% over 8 years

  • $5M to earn initial 51% over 4 years

  • 25km radius Area of Influence

  • Teck want to investigate “all prospects”, not just Myrtle  long term involvement

==> picture [162 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

  • Early (1960’s) drill holes at Myrtle (MY1 & 2) were drilled short of target

  • Anomalous Zn values in holes MY1 & 2 led to follow-up by Anglo in 2004-2005 and discovery of Myrtle

  • Other prospects on the tenement also have shallow anomalous Zn values – need to be followed up

Myrtle

Apart from Myrtle, all owned by MAJORS

20% of the world’s zinc reserves are contained in the Northern Australian Zinc province

==> picture [162 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Mt Fisher Location

  • About 130 km east of Wiluna, 450km north of Kalgoorlie

  • Several multi-million ounce deposits on adjacent belts (e.g. Yandal Belt 17 Mozs)

  • Mt Fisher belt hasn’t had major discovery success yet

  • Several known gold occurrences, so no reason it won’t contain large deposits

  • Small high-grade mining activities during the 1930’s at Mt Fisher, and small moderate grade open cut mining there in the late 1980’s

  • Nickel potential along eastern ultramafic belt, demonstrated further north at the AK47 prospect

==> picture [332 x 441] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [162 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Gold Anomalies

  • Tenement area is 612 km[2]

  • Three main prospect areas: Moray Reef, Dam-Dirks, Mt Fisher East

  • Drilling at Moray Reef includes 3m @ 67 g/t, 1m @ 187 g/t and 3m @ 8 g/t

  • Regolith anomaly at Dam-Dirks is 7km long.

  • Many high grade drill hits at Dam-Dirks

  • Regolith anomaly at Mt Fisher East is 2-3km long

  • 5 km long section of ultramafic that is prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation

  • Large areas still unexplored

==> picture [318 x 441] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [162 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Dam-Dirks

  • Three parallel structures

  • Each structure has several “hot spots” which could relate to cross-cutting structures and/or sub-parallel splays

  • Dam is the main prospect, although Dirks not drilled as extensively

  • Drill intercepts at Dam include:

9m @ 7.1 g/t 3m @ 17.4 g/t 1m @ 45.6 g/t 4m @ 9.0 g/t 2m @ 16.6 g/t, and 8m @ 4.1 g/t

  • Drilling at Dirks includes:

2m @ 13.7 g/t

Bronzewing

300m 200m Mt Fisher (Dam Prospect)

  • Surficial enrichment & dispersion around Base of Overburden

  • Zone of depletion to just above Base of Oxidation (also gold enrichment here)

  • • Structures in fresh rock need to be located and followed down with drilling

  • Picture at Mt Fisher still very incomplete

==> picture [162 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

  • 450 km ENE of Alice Springs

  • Adjacent to NT-QLD border

  • Gravel road access from Alice Springs (and through to Mt Isa)

  • Located on pastoral leases

Georgina Basin, NT

  • Georgina Basin is the main hard rock phosphate province in Australia (~86% of Australia’s phosphate resources)

  • Only operating mine is at Phosphate Hill (QLD) @ 2 Mtpa

  • Other advanced phosphate projects are Wonarah , and D-Tree (Paradise)

  • Marqua Phosphate project is 250 km from western QLD gas pipeline and nearest railhead at Phosphate Hill (south of Mt Isa)
