Slide 8: Project History
Project History For personal use only 1960s - Gippsland Ltd explored the outcropping Queen Hill tin deposit. 1970s – Aberfoyle Ltd earned a 60% interest. 1980s – Aberfoyle Ltd discovered Severn and Montana deposits. 1986 – Project suspended following the tin price collapse. 2008 – Stellar
Slide 9: Excellent progress to date
Excellent progress to date For personal use only Maximised tin price leverage by moving to 100% ownership Increased resource by 49% to 71,500t contained tin - worth $1.6bn Demonstrated presence of high grade tin – best result: 7m@4% tin Demonstrated recovery of 70% through bench scale met te

Slide 15: Potential to optimise mine plan
Potential to optimise mine plan For personal use only Queen Hill Long Hole Stoping Montana Long Hole Stoping Severn Drift & Fill Severn Long Hole Stoping 15
Slide 16: Optimisation will add value
Optimisation will add value For personal use only Resource expansion: Each additional year of life adds $13 million or 22% to NPV Deeper drilling at Queen Hill and Severn will add life St Dizier could add 1 to 2 years to resource life Higher grade at Severn: Increasing overall head grade
Slide 17: Excellent exploration potential
Excellent exploration potential For personal use only Mineralisation emplaced along structures by explosive exhalations from a deep-seated tin granite Potential for additional deposits within large halo of low grade tin surrounding known tin deposits All deposits open at depth, poorly explored
Slide 18: Mineral zonation implies more tin
Mineral zonation implies more tin For personal use only Historical mining focused on silver-lead veins surrounding Queen Hill Queen Hill and Montana: silver-lead veining associated with tin Severn: low grade copper associated with tin 18
Slide 19: Deposits open at depth
Deposits open at depth For personal use only ZQ117 and ZS120 show mineralisation is open at depth Thicker Queen Hill intersections where sediments faulted against black shales Carbonate – rich sediments at Severn increase potential for higher grade replacement mineralisation Very encouraged
Slide 20: Potential for high grade hits
Potential for high grade hits Best Intersections: For personal use only Queen Hill QH 125 - 32m @ 1.6% Sn Severn ZS113 – 7m @ 4.0% Sn Montana ZM67 – 8m @ 3.9% Sn 20
