Slide 5: Corporate Strategy
Corporate Strategy • Focus on platinum group elements (PGEs) and diamond exploration in under-explored regions of eastern Canada • Expose investors to two of the most sought after and highly valued commodities in the world, thus levering the rewards from the discovery of any economically viable depo
Slide 6: Projects – Highbank Lake (PGEs)
Projects – Highbank Lake (PGEs) HIGHBANK LAKE • The discovery of a previously unknown, large (500 km2) layered intrusion was announced by NRN in early 2004 • Layered intrusions are highly sought after as nearly all of the world’s PGE reserves are contained within layered intrusions • At every turn,
Slide 7: Highbank Lake Property (PGEs)
Highbank Lake Property (PGEs) Amongst the ten largest layered intrusions in the world
Slide 8: Layered Intrusion Model
Layered Intrusion Model PGE deposits are found in Layered intrusions are known well fractionated layered for the remarkable continuity of intrusions in association their individual horizons with chromite and sulphide bearing layers or “reefs”

Slide 13: Multiple Target Horizons
Multiple Target Horizons Aeromagnetic and geochemical data indicate the presence of multiple prospective target horizons in positions consistent with those expected based on a Bushveld-type model
Slide 14: MMI Geochem Results – Profile
MMI Geochem Results – Profile 11 Pt, Pd, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Co geochemical anomalies at multiple horizons can be traced along strike for lengths of 20-40 km. These elements are common pathfinders in the Bushveld.
Slide 15: MMI Geochem Results – Profile
MMI Geochem Results – Profile 11 Mg enrichment at target horizons may indicate injection of “fresh” magma into the magma chamber. Magma mixing is believed to be key to the formation of PGE-rich ‘reefs’.
Slide 16: Highbank Chromitite Boulders
Highbank Chromitite Boulders The recovery of PGE-anomalous (up to 1.7 g/t) boulders from the property further supports the potential for PGE-chromitite reefs in the intrusion Massive chromitite
Slide 17: Thickness of the Highbank Intrusion
Thickness of the Highbank Intrusion The thickness of the layered intrusion at Highbank is comparable, perhaps even greater than the Bushveld Complex
Slide 18: Comparable Chromitites
Comparable Chromitites Grade Reserves Cr Cr2O3 M tonnes Great Dyke, - 44-51% 560 Zimbabwe LG 6 Bushveld - 46% 752 SA Highbank Lake 29% 43% ??? Bird River Sill - 6.9% 7.0 Big Trout Lake - 4-14% - Stillwater - 22% 4.0
