West Wits Mining Limited Operations Update November 2008

This presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements that have been based on current expectations about future acts, events and circumstances. These forward-looking statements are, however, subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause those acts, events and circumstances to differ materially from the expectations described in such forward-looking statements.

These factors include, among other things, commercial and other risks associated with estimation of uranium and gold resources, the meeting of objectives and other investment considerations, as well as other matters not yet known to the Company or not currently considered material by the Company.

West Wits accepts no responsibility to update any person regarding any error or omission or change in the information in this presentation or any other information made available to a person or any obligation to furnish the person with further information

  • Conceptual target - 3.95 to 5.2 million ounces gold & 17-22 million pounds

uranium

  • Completed 24.6km’s of drilling across 8 of 14 identified targets

• WWI currently progressing three initial targets into the resource estimation phase (Emerald, Marquise and Radiant)

  • $10.4 million cash held at the end of September quarter

  • West Wits Mining Limited is a resource development company aiming to delineate and exploit gold and uranium resources on our South African Witwatersrand leases.

  • The Company’s focus is to delineate near surface early cash flow opportunities by late 2009 which may assist in the funding of identified large underground exploration targets.

  • The Company has developed three exploration models (gold & uranium) :

  • Near Surface exploration targets possibly conducive to open cut mining

  • Unmined Reefs (gold & uranium)

  • Historical mining pillar recovery and parallel reefs

Simple Strategy

  • Continue on exploring shallow/near surface gold mineralisation with the prime focus on early cash flow generation

  • Continue in expanding project pipeline

  • Continue review of historical information (to date 9,000 maps scanned)

  • Excellent Potential

  • 20km of strike across the Witwatersrand (worlds largest historical producing gold field)

  • Drilling continues to improve potential for gold and uranium resources

  • Three identified near surface (<65m) gold mineralised targets (Emerald, Marquise and Radiant)

  • Two identified targets have mineralisation open at depth and up to 7km of strike untested (Radiant & Raptor Target)

  • Continuing identification of new targets
