High quality Apurimac and Cusco Iron Ore

9

Apurimac Iron Ore

  • 590 km2 of concessions
  • 269 Mt @ 57.3% Fe at Opaban
  • High-grade, coarse-grained, excellent metallurgy
  • 500 Mt needed to support 15 20 Mtpa

Cusco Iron Ore

  • AF concessions and Cuervo partnership
  • Almost 400km2 of AF and Cuervo concessions
  • AF: 104 Mt @ 33% Fe* and a 23 26 Mt potential iron ore mineralisation at 32 – 34% Fe** with <50% of target area tested
  • Cuervo: 178 Mt @ 48% Fe + Bob 1 targets*
  • Similar ore style to Apurimac but lower grade and mass recovery and higher sulphur
  • 800 Mt needed to support 20 25 Mtpa

* See the Appendix to this presentation for a breakdown of the total mineral resource into JORC categories per project and the JORC Code competent person statement. **The potential quantity and grade of the target iron ore is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define an additional mineral Resource in relation to that target iron ore. It is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of an additional Mineral Resource in relation to that target iron ore.

Excellent iron and Copper / gold potential

Apurimac Iron Ore

  • 590 km2 of concessions
  • Sillaccassa: two magnetic targets with ironstone
  • Opaban North: 1 km magnetic target + ironstone
  • Colcabamba: drilled Fe + magnetic anomalies
  • Numerous magnetic and imagery targets

Cusco Iron Ore and Cu/Au

  • <50% target area tested at Cusco
  • Cuervo Bob1, Parco and Huillque Norte targets
  • World class copper / gold province
  • 16 m @ 1% Cu from 28 m and current gold mining but no testing to date
  • IP targets identified

Cuervo – Bob 1 drilling results

2 km of strike tested with results for central 800m

  • 100 – 200 m thick magnetite intersected on all sections
  • North-south orientation with moderate dips 45 – 60º to west
  • Open to north and Parco repetition highly prospective

Drill Intercepts

Hole 1: 133 m @ 49.6% Fe
Hole 2: 182 m @ 39.6% Fe
Hole 8: 185 m @ 47.5% Fe
Hole 10: 117 m @ 57.4% Fe
Hole 3: 156 m @ 40.9% Fe
Hole 5: 144 m @ 38.3% Fe
Hole 11: 87 m @ 33.8% Fe
  • Coarse-grained magnetite
  • Elevated sulphur (2 – 3%)
  • Similar style to Orcopura

Community approvals – challenging, but improving

  • Patience and trust building required, especially following previous AF "disappearance"
  • Andean community mistrust of outsiders and government authorities feel abandoned
  • Southern Peru especially challenging due to Andahuaylas' history as an activist centre
  • Expectations raised with Mr Humala's election but indications of increased disillusionment and radicalism
  • Access agreements established but not at Huinchos / Opaban as yet

However:

  • Doors open in cycles Huinchos mid 2011 and again now with community accepting mining
  • "Pilot" programs successful along with innovative Camposol visits and expertise
  • Delivery of previous commitments well received and open dialogue underway with all campesinos

* Strike funding of AF (>\$30 M) recapitalised in Sept 2012 for additional 12% – 19% of AF

Shoot-out – current status and way forward

D&C has defaulted

  • Counter offer of US\$27 M plus loan repayment not honoured
  • Purchase of SRK AF shares for US\$100 plus repayment of loans not honoured

Strike Response

  • Default provision triggered and partners' shares purchased for US\$50 with loans (~US\$3.2M) to be repaid within 3 years
  • Shares not transferred hence dispute notice delivered

Next Steps

  • 15 working day "good faith negotiations" period till 13 December
  • Commercial settlement or arbitration process triggered

Legal Position

Independent advice supports SRK position

Beyond the Shoot-out – the way forward

AF Projects are capital intensive and require significant patience

SRK can fund in short term, but strong funding partner needed

Resolve AF ownership – move to 100% ownership

Commercial settlement or arbitrated resolution

Progress CR and approvals at Opaban

Recommence exploration including drilling

Monitor opportunities to further consolidate

Rothschild managed international partner search

Close out Berau settlement

Consider Financial Statements and Directors' and Auditor's Reports

Apurimac Inferred 127.2 56.7

The 68Mt DSO component of the Apurimac resource is comprised of a 27 Mt inferred resource at 61.35% Fe and 41 Mt indicated resource at 61.57% Fe and is included within the above figures.

Appendix – JORC Code Information

Resource Breakdown (cont'd)

Cerro Ccopane Project (Cuervo Resources, Inc)

The resource estimate for Cuervo's Orcopura prospect stands at 19.7 Mt at 48.3% Fe (measured resource), 35.9 Mt at 45.9% Fe (indicated resource) and 50.8 Mt at 43.7% (inferred resource). That estimate is a wire-framed computer model using a 20% Fe lower cut with grades determined using the inverse distance squared estimation method. The resource estimate for the Huillque and Aurora prospects uses a 30% Fe lower cut and the sectional polygonal resource estimation process. Accordingly, some care must be taken when quoting a global resource for the Cerro Ccopane project area.
