Italy- Grosseto

Italy – World-class mine district :Former world-class mine district, 577 mines still

producing industrial materials and 38 geothermal power stations.

Former Antimony and Antimony Trioxide producer:Major world antimony producing Manciano area,

Grosseto Province.

Excellent infrastructureGood roads, potential location for processing plant,

deep-sea port of Civitvecchia (~50km), nearby international airports, can work throughout year.

Supply of Antimony

• Chinese production decreasing : 166,000 t (2008), down to 150,000 t (2010) - 50% from one company est. 5 years of reserves

• Crustal abundance 200ppb, less than many so called rare earth elements

• Estimated 13 yrs of global reserves left

• Export duties and quantitative limits imposed by China, Argentina, Pakistan, Indonesia and Vietnam – and strategic stockpiling in US for defence purposes

• Additional Chinese capacity purchased - Beaver Brook, Canada and Anchor, Australia

Demand for Antimony

• China introduces import subsidies in 2011

• EU places Antimony on ‘Critical List of 14 Raw

Materials’

• US and EU currently 100% dependent on imports

• British Geological Survey places in a very high risk

The Antimony Business

• Antimony prices recently climbed to over $14,000/t corrected to $12,200/t ($5,53 per pound)

• Forecast to rise with increasing supply constraints. Roskill estimates up to $14,000/t by 2016

Objective

To recommence mining of antimony and other metals (Au, Ag, Sn)

How will we do it?

1. Current historic resources are over 45,000 tonnes of contained metal (not ore) and 43-101 resource calculation drilling is to commence in 2013.

2. We plan to increase this to at least 100,000 tonnes of mineable antimony (Sb) resources in 43-101 resource calculations for a 10 year mine life

Poggio Pietricci and Faggio Scritto - other metals

1989 - Anglo/AGIP Drill Programme, 28 holes were drilled with 26 holes returning Au values. Hole H intercepted 22.5 meters of 18.56 g/t from the surface. Including - 34.89 g/t over 7.8 meters from surface plus a high grade "sweetener" at 15.7 meters of 98.96 g/t over 1.75 meters.

1997/8 - NEBEX Exploration Programme,16 AGIP holes were sampled with 0.4g/t Au + analysis only considered, this produced 78 sample grading between 0.4 to 9.5 g/t Au.

2006 - Adroit Confirmatory Drill Programme. 3 holes confirmed the presence of Au. The best results were obtained from PP004, where the overall mineralized envelope extends from surface to a depth of 44.4m. Au grade averages in that interval 0.4g/t, Ag averages 18g/t. The broader mineralized envelope includes a 4.7m interval (29.9-34.6m) yielding 1.24g/t Au and 35.6g/t Ag. The highest value of Au encountered is 1.375g/t and covers an interval of 3.4m (31.2-34.6m).

Focus on Canadian Properties

• Under-explored properties

• Regions known to contain prolific deposits

• Abitibi greenstone belt renowned for past discoveries of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits

• Produced in excess of 450 Mt of Copper-Zinc ore to date

Under-explored, the area has been the focus of a number of recent gold discoveries :

SGX Resources (Edelston zone and Sirola gold zones)

Xstrata Sothman Nickel Deposit

• ADT field work shown inferred McIntyre Deposit - NI 43-101 report refers

• McIntyre Deposit is an intrusive-hosted vein and disseminated Cu-Au-Ag-Mo deposit and gold-pyrite-quartz vein system clustered around the Pearl Lake porphry intrusive

• Mined between 1912 and 1988 producing 35 million oz Au, 7 million oz Ag and 100,000 tons Cu

• Recovered grades were 0.59 g/t Au, 2.39 g/t Ag and 0.59% Cu. Unrecovered Mo at 0.05%
