development of our project
portfolio and acquisition of other
consolidation opportunities
3
Diversifying for Sustainability
Focused on Low-Risk Mining Friendly Jurisdictions
Geographic Diversification: To Reduce Single
Country Risk
Commodity Diversification: Expand from Precious
Metals to Base Metals and other Industrial
Products
Strengthened Balance Sheet: Eliminated all
Company Debt

Developing Assets: Organic Growth
MALAYSIA GOLD PRODUCTION - Selinsing Gold Mine
•
•
•
•
Fiscal 2014 (Ended June 30 2014): produced 35,983 ounces at US$613/oz
36,917 meters of drilling below or near the resource for future resource updates to come after heap leach Biological
results are known. Result timing dictate date of resource update
Drill testing resource extensions and parallel targets on adjacent FELDA lands
Phase IV: R & D studies for metallurgical treatment of sulfide material
MALAYSIA ACQUISITION - Mengapur Polymetallic Project
•
•
•
•
•
•
Historical skarn resource contains Copper, Sulfur, Gold, Silver, Molybdenum and Iron
R&D programs underway for process flow sheet toward initial Oxide & Sulphide Fe production
(Fe Production being reviewed in light of market conditions - Cu production being prioritized)
Working on NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA),awaiting decision on Star Destiny
Resource statement and PEA timing will depend on lease boundaries when ML issues
Short-term focus will be on mining and producing Cu and magnetite by-product for cash flow
The TSXV policies absolutely prevents any disclosure of projections without a NI-43-101 report

Phase I: Production of Magnetite by magnetic
separation with WLIMS & WHIMS Technology
from free digging overburden soils
Phase II: Production of Cu with Magnetite byproduct (potentially) from hard rock Skarn by
crushing, grinding and flotation
Phase III: Recovery of ultra-fine Magnetite from
Hematite material by milling, WLIMS & WHIMS
19
Mengapur Copper & Iron Phase I
•
Exploration focused on the
identification of copper & magnetite
material

•
•
•
•
33
Open pit production is a priority, plant front
end upgrade for medium to high grade ore
and exploration drilling and heap leach for
low grade ore in progress
Conceptual pad engineering and draft
operating permit applications are completed,
new pad site being investigated
Independent metallurgical test work for heap
leach study is presently being carried out
Drill program underway to confirm resource
(NI 43-101 compliant), with the objective to
upgrade and increase resource and provide
material for metallurgical testing
Plant front-end crushing being re-designed
and upgraded to 3-stage crushing for more
efficient lower cost operation
November 12, 2014 acquired the Tuckanarra
Gold Project-a strategic move to consolidate
a large land position in the Murchison region
which is accretive to the project
Murchison Drill Program
•

•
•
34
Initial Drill program designed to validate the
historical resource, increase the grade and
geological continuity of the mineralization
through infill drilling, test for resource
extensions and define further exploration
targets (see slide 30)
102 RC holes for 9,340m have been
completed in the initial program at Alliance
and New Alliance (Announced Nov. 18 , 2014)
The Assay Results further confirm favorable
mineralization targets at Alliance and New
Alliance
63 RC holes completed at Federal City for
4,058m and samples sent to SGS laboratories
This drill program work will contribute to the
current suite of technical studies on the
project

• Gold mineralization occurs in a 4.2 km long district along a shear zone from Selinsing to Buffalo Reef;
potentially extending further north to the Famehub properties
• Mineralization outside of the August 31, 2012 Mineral Resource remains open down dip below existing pits
• Drill results from over 380 drill holes from Selinsing and Buffalo Reef are not included in the August 31,
