Positive Silver FundamentalsA paradigm shift for silver?• Major shift in supply/demand dynamic over past several years

• Silver still well below inflation adjusted highs of $140/oz ($50 in 1980)

• Silver is a “hybrid” precious and industrial metal due to its scarcity and unique properties including superior electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, reflectance, and catalytic/biologic reactivity

• Price increases driven by 40% increase in investment demand and 21% increase in industrial demand for a total increase of 17% in 2010

• Total annual mine production growth only 2.5% last year with reduced contribution of by-product silver from copper and gold production

• Projected new mine supply anticipated to be consumed by new industrial demand through at least 2015

• Chinese imports up 4x since 2009 with change from net sellers of more than 100 M oz of silver in 2005 to net buyers of more than 120 M oz in 2010

• Few major new deposit discoveries and growing time lag from time of discovery to metal production

Indium & Gallium – Two Key Strategic MetalsRapidly growing market for high-tech uses

Uses• Indium-tin oxide (ITO) a key component of flat panel displays (FPDs) and touch screens• High-efficiency CIGS (copper, indium, gallium, selenide) photo-voltaic thin-film solar

panels, and LED lighting • Fiber optics, specialized and transparent semiconductors

Supply

• Global indium use growing rapidly and could surpass available supply from by-product zinc refining at current price range

• One of the most scarce strategic metals due to low recycling and few primary producers

TSX:SACUS OTC:SOHAF

18

Indium & Gallium FundamentalsCompelling supply/demand dynamics

Indium and Gallium Supply/Demand dynamics

• Indium and gallium highlighted in UN and US DOE studies as a critical technology metals in potential shortage, along with several key rare earth metals, due to rapidly increasing growth, low recycling rates and low primary production

• China is largest producer and consumer of indium and has imposed export quotas and tariffs like other key high-technology specialty metals

• Indium market estimated to see 15-20% annual growth with most indium produced as by product of zinc refining growing at 1-3% annually

• Current indium and gallium price ~$900-1000/kg up from global economic lows during 2008-2009 of $400-500/kg

• Gallium market estimated to be a conservative 15% annual growth rate which could increase significantly with more rapid growth in LED lighting and photovoltaics

Malku Khota annual indium and gallium production• Malku Khota projected to be one of the world’s largest indium & gallium producers

(80 tonnes and 15 tonnes per year)• Potential to represent 10% or more of global mine supply of indium and over 5% of

global supply for gallium• Opportunities for project financing from off-take agreements for indium & gallium
