Copper/Gold Capital Growth through Exploration Success Slide 2 Red Metal - Unique Market Appeal Slide 3 Red Metal - Assets Australia-wide Cu exploration alliance with Phelps Dodge. Pipe line drill- ready targets on 33 licences 5 PD-funded J.V.s Projects are hand- picked in fertile terrain's, >15,000km Acquired at bottom of cycle Olympic Dam Broken Hill Prominent Hill Mt Isa Ernest Henry Browns HYC Century Nifty Base metal mines and projects Red Metal project 100% CaningtonOsborne Copper mines and projects Red Metal managed/ PD-funded J.V. Gawler Curnamona Mt Isa Pine Creek McArthur Basin Tennant Creek Tenant Creek Slide 4 Exploration Strategy Giant high-grade, copper+gold deposits; IOCG, Mt Isa and Zambian styles. In fertile Early-Middle Proterozoic terrain's. Refined exploration models. Deposits containing >1 million tonnes Cu >15% IRR or greater Explore in covered portions of highly prospective terrain's. Utilise cost effective, new technology. Undertake drill intensive programs. Slide 5 Gawler Craton Moonta J.V. Hawks Nest J.V. Peak & Denison J.V.s Mt Isa Southern Isa - Elizabeth Springs Maronan Corkwood Naraku Others including NE Isa, Western Isa Pine Creek Browns J.V. Curnamona NE Broken Hill, McArthur Basin Urapunga Tennant Creek Inlier Tennant Creek Projects Red Metal - Main Projects Red Metal 100% Joint Ventures Slide 6 Fe oxide CuAu - Geological Models Pluton roof zones Deep penetrating structures Dilation zones Magnetite-rich Slide 7 Gawler - Strategy Slide 8 Gawler - Regional Scale Slide 9 Gawler - Peak Denison J.V.s Large IOCG system below 50-400m of cover. Similar regional setting to Olympic Dam system. Limited previous drilling Reprocessing and re- interpretation of regional data complete. Several structure controlled magnetic and gravity targets. PD funding, Red Metal 18%-21% free carried to DTM. Drilling in 2004. Slide 10 Gawler - Peak and Denison J.V.s Olympic Dam analogy: discordant NE trending structure, coincident magnetic and gravity, deep seated magmatic source, basement 295m TMI Gravity 20km 200m Basement 100m RTZ RTZ/BHP RTZ RTZ/BHP RTZ Slide 11 Gawler - Moonta J.V. Moonta J.V. with Adelaide Res. 8km Large IOCG system under shallow cover. Historic Cu,Au mines. Excellent infrastructure. Reprocessed and re- interpreted historic and new data. Initial RAB drilling completed over Moonta J.V. RC and DDH drill targets defined (PD spent > $A1M). Drilling initiated Feb 2004. PD funding, Red Metal 21% free carried to DTM. TMI Slide 12 Gawler - Moonta Ranking Targets Calcrete Sampling Gravity Surveying Slide 13 Gawler - Moonta Deep Drilling Slide 14 Gawler - Moonta Alford TMI/Calcrete TMI Ernest Henry size footprint Target 81 Target 1 Displaced copper in saprolite Slide 15 Gawler - Moonta Alford Gravity/Calcrete Cu Gravity Ernest Henry size footprint Target 81 Target 1 Displaced copper in saprolite Slide 16 Gawler - Moonta Alford Gravity/Calcrete Au Gravity Ernest Henry size footprint Target 81 Target 1 Displaced copper in saprolite Slide 17 Mt Isa - Regional Scale Red Metal acquired 100% Fertile terrain Re-interpretation of data Buried geophysical drill targets with potential for a giant FeOx Cu-Au deposit. Public funds raised used to drill test and generate new plays. PD retain claw back option up to 70% of major discovery. Red Metal free carried 30-40% to DTM Slide 18 Mt Isa - Regional Scale Red Metal acquired 100% Fertile terrain Re-interpretation of data Buried geophysical drill targets with potential for a giant FeOx Cu-Au deposit. Public funds raised used to drill test and generate new plays. PD retain claw back option up to 70% of major discovery. Red Metal free carried 30-40% to DTM Slide 19 Mt Isa - Elizabeth Springs Projects 3D Gravity Model Slide 20 Mt Isa - Maronan Project Slide 21 Mt Isa - Corkwood Projects Untested Magnetic MagneticTargets Drill hole with 210m @ 0.3% Cu 0.2g/t Au TMI Vertical Gradient Magnetics 10km Slide 22 Mt Isa - Naraku Projects Slide 23 Tennant Creek - New Project Areas TMI >50% exposure Interpreted deep seated oxidised intrusive plutons Slide 24 Pine Creek - Browns Geology Slide 25 Pine Creek - Browns J.V. Concept Compass/Guardian Mt Isa or Zambian style Cu-Co target at depth below known Browns Pb-Co-Cu resource. Detailed gravity survey indicates anomalous mass is synclinal axis. Drilling soon after listing PD funded, Red Metal 21% free carried to DTM Slide 26 Pine Creek - Browns Longitudinal Section Slide 27 Pine Creek - Browns Residual Gravity Slide 28 Pine Creek - Browns Gravity and TMI Model Poor fit Dense core Poor fit Dense core Dense keel Good fit Magnetic Target Magnetic Model Gravity Model 3 Gravity Model 2 Gravity Model 1 Slide 29 Pine Creek - Browns Drill Hole in Progress Preliminary Interpretation ? Slide 30 Curnamona - NE Broken Hill Project Tenement adjacent to Broken Hill Mine Targets - Mt Isa style Cu, Strataform styles of Pb- Zn-Ag. 2 significant Falcon Gravity anomalies Anomalous bedrock Cu surrounding magnetic target Red Metal 100% or free carried 30-40% to DTM if PD clawback Drilling 2004 Slide 31 Curnamona - Northeast Broken Hill Section NE Broken Hill Project Mine Horizon Broken Hill Mine 282.5 Mt @ 12.4% Zn, 5.8% Pb, 115.5g/t Ag Gravity anomalies Possibly sourced from shallow Mine Horizon ? ~ 2km Slide 32 McArthur Basin - Urapunga Projects Fertile terrain Right stratigraphy Basement high Structural antiform Crustal scale faults Known stratabound and epigenetic Cu,Pb,Zn Proposed airborne TEM program Access issues Red Metal 100% or free carried 30-40% to DTM if PD clawback Cannington Mt Isa Lorretta Walford Century McArthur Airborne TEM Slide 33 Copper - Good Time to Make Discovery Increased copper consumption in China, improved economic conditions in USA and Japan predicted to result in copper supply deficit and increase Cu prices.
