CONSOLIDATING THE RAŠKA OREDISTRICT

Acquired 297km² in Emerging Porphyry- Epithermal Belt

Promising exploration licenses situated in a well-known historic miningdistrict:

Suva Ruda Project:

• Tethyan holds an option to buy 100%to December 2023

o 2 annual payments of Euro 100k to September 2019

o 100% buy-out for Euro 6 million, plus bonus payments to underlying owner relative to mine construction cost

• Potential for major porphyry copper-gold project at Rudnitza

• Tethyan recently drilled at Rudnitza:

o 567m @ 0.28% copper & 0.45 g/t gold (RDD-001) from surface

Includes 30m @ 1.45% copper & 0.4 gold (oxide)

Gokcanica Project:

• Very large altered and mineralised system (7km x 3km), believed to host porphyry potential

Kosovo Projects:

• Recently acquired grassroots exploration licenses containing lead and zinc occurrences in historic geology mapping

SUVA RUDA PROJECT -RUDNITZA PORPHYRY

Total alteration system covers 1500m by 600m area defined by coincident copper - gold- molybdenum anomaly in soil sampling, with two zones of greater than 0.1 g/t gold in soils:

Southern porphyry zone

• Drillhole RDD-001 returned 567m at

0.28% copper and 0.45 g/t gold (includes

30m @ 1.45%copper & 0.4 gold)

• Mineralisation remains open in all

directions with little drilling to date

Northern porphyryzone

• New 600m by 400m geochemical

anomaly discovered by soil sampling in

the north

• Never drill tested

Possible double-headed porphyry with potential at depth

Figure: The Rudnitza porphyry area, contoured gold in soil results highlight the two porphyry centres. Results for drillholes RDD-005 to RDD-008 are pending. 11

SUVA RUDA PROJECT – RUDNITZA PORPHYRY GEOPHYSICS

Tethyan recently ran

Quantec’s proprietary

TITAN 24 IP technology in

10 lines over the Rudnitza

porphyry to identify

potential mineralisation,

the TITAN system can

identify targets up to

1,500m depth.

Interpretation of the data is

expected early-November.

contoured copper in soil results

lines surveyed in September 2017.

SUVA RUDAPROJECTLEAD - ZINC POTENTIAL

• Two historic lead-zinc mines adjacent to the

Suva Ruda License with combined historic

(non-compliant) resources estimated in

excess of7Mt

• Kizevak mine mineralisation strikes onto the

Suva Ruda License, historic drilling indicates

good grades on the Suva Ruda license

boundary

• Drilling peripheral to the Rudnitza porphyry
