Forward Looking Statements

This presentation contains, or incorporates by reference, “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-

looking information may include , but is not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial and operating performance of Azul Ventures Inc. and its

subsidiaries, and its mineral properties, the future price of copper and other metals, the estimation of mineral resources, results of exploration activities and studies,

the realization of mineral resource estimates, exploration expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, the acquisition of additional mineral

resources, the results of future exploration and drilling, timing of economic and scoping-level studies, costs and timing of future exploration of the La Higuera and

Caballo Blanco Projects, requirements for additional capital, management’s skill and knowledge with respect to the exploration and development of mining properties

in Chile in general and the relevance of that knowledge to the projects, government regulation of mining operations and exploration operations, timing and receipt of

approvals and licences under mineral legislation, environmental risks and title disputes or claims and limitations of insurance coverage. In certain cases, forward-

looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”,

“anticipates” or “believes”, or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”,

“would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

Azul has not independently verified the historical drilling results on Caballo Blanco, and thus the drilling results should not be relied upon by shareholders, potential

investors or any other individual or company. Azul is only using this historical information to assist with the planning and prioritization of exploration targets.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of

Azul Ventures Inc. to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such

factors include, among others, risks associated with the Company’s dependence on the La Higuera and Caballo Blanco Project’s; the Company’s limited operating

history; general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities; risks associated with

dependence on key members of management; conclusions of economic evaluations and studies; currency fluctuations (particularly in respect of the Canadian dollar,

the United States dollar and the Chilean peso and the rate at which each may be exchanged for the others); future prices of copper and other metals; uncertainty in

the estimation of mineral resources, exploration and development risks; infrastructure risks; inflation risks; defects and adverse claims in the title to the projects;

accidents, political instability ,insurrection or war; labour and employment risks; changes in government regulations and policies, including laws governing

development, production, taxes, royalty payments, labour standards and occupational health, safety, toxic substances, resource exploitation and other matters; delays

in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; insufficient insurance coverage; the risk that dividends

may never be declared; and liquidity and financing risks related to the global economic crisis. Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of material

factors and assumptions, including: that contracted parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes; that on-going contractual negotiations will be

successful and progress and/or be completed in a timely manner; that no unusual geological or technical problems occur; that plant and equipment work as

anticipated and that there is no material adverse change in the price of gold. Although Azul Ventures Inc. has attempted to identify important factors that could cause

actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or

results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this presentation. There can be

no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such

statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

Michael R. Schuler, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has supervised the preparation of the technical information that forms the basis for

the disclosure of the results of exploration activities by Azul Ventures presented in this document. Mr. Schuler is the Vice President - Exploration of Azul Ventures,

and is therefore not independent of the Company.

• A total of 15 broad spaced reconnaissance holes were drilled, with 10 RC holes by Latin American Copper (LAC UK) and 5 diamond holes by Peregrine Minerals.

• Several holes returned significant chalcopyrite and magnetite intersections.

• Of the reconnaissance holes drilled, only two were located in the magnetic anomalies:

o CAB-006 - 82m @ 0.35% Cu, 19.24% Fe.o CB-01 - 10m @ 0.49% Cu,

- 40m @ 0.40% Cu, 18.5% Fe,- 38m @ 0.22% Cu, 19.72% Fe (with 12m at 0.40% Cu),- 6m @ 0.62% Cu, 19.7% Fe,- 8m @ 0.62% Cu, 21.9% Fe.

• Large magnetic anomalies remain untested.

• Exploration target model is the Santo Domingo* style ore body, which currently has 418Mt at 0.32% Cu and 27.2% Fe, with similar projected revenue from copper and iron.

* Capstone Mining Corp.’s Santo Domingo Project – the August 15, 2011 Ausenco Pre-Feasibility Study states that “the mill will process a total of 418 million tonnes of ore over an 18-year mine life at an average grade of 0.32% copper, 0.04 g/t gold and 27.6% iron.” The report was prepared for Far West Mining, acquired by Capstone Mining which owns 70% of Santo Domingo with 30% held by Kores resources Corporation (Kores).

Azul has not independently verified the historical drilling results on Caballo Blanco, and thus the drilling results should not be relied upon by shareholders, potential investors or any other individual or company. Azul is only using this historical information to assist with the planning and prioritization of exploration targets.

Preliminary Metallurgical

Testing

24

• Davis Tube Magnetic Separation on five drill core samples from La Higuera and

Caballo Blanco generated high grade with low levels of penalty elements

• The magnetic iron concentrate ranged from 68.89% to 70.67% Fe (average

69.99% Fe), which is a high grade concentrate. Average recovery was 84.5%

• A magnetite iron co-product is possible following copper sulphide flotation, as

planned by Capstone Mining Corp. for their Santo Domingo Project *

• Further detailed metallurgical testing is planned. Grades of drill core and

concentrate for selected elements are tabulated below:
