WHERE TETHYANIS EXPLORING
5
WESTERN TETHYAN MINERAL BELT
The Tethyan Mineral Belt extends over 10,000km from Asia to the Balkans and is comparable to the Andes and Western US & Canada yet significantly less explored
• Cretaceous and Tertiary age porphyry & epithermal copper, gold & base metalbelts
• Number of significant districts & deposits:
o Chelopech/Elatsite region -Bulgaria
o Bor/Timok region – Serbiao Trepca region – Serbia & Kosovoo Rosia Montana – Romania
• Under explored with modern geophysicsand geochemistry, particularly for gold
Region of Tethyan’s exploration
6
SERBIA - A Welcoming Mining Jurisdiction
A rare combination: stable government, pro-mining, low tax,
good geology and open for investment in exploration
• Favourable new Mining Law enacted December 2015 :o Practical new law developed by interaction with
stakeholders including local and international miningcompanies
o 15% corporatetaxo 5%net smelter royaltyo 100% foreignownership and repatriation of profits
• Favourable business jurisdiction asanEU candidatewith political
stability Excellent infrastructure and easy access to markets
• In-country expertise
• Low-cost operating
environment

THE PROJECTS

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.
Figure: The Rudnitza porphyry,
contoured copper in soil results
highlight the mineralised area, IP
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
intersected multiple lead-zinc veins as shown
in tablebelow:

completed in September
2017
14
Vein outcropping over 150m returned up to 8.3 g/t gold in rock-chip samples, currently being mapped and sampled, possible drill target for early 2018
Historic silver mine: Tethyan rock-chips up to 189 g/t silver and 0.73 g/t gold
THE NEXT 6-12 MONTHS …
September 2017: Completed dual-listing on TSX-V
o Expected increased liquidity on share trading
o Gain access to North American Investors and Funds
Late-September 2017: Completed major geophysical programme at the Rudnitza porphyry
o Tethyan have contracted Quantec’s proprietary TITAN IP system, penetrating to 1,000m depthsearching for high-grade porphyry core
o Interpretation of results expected early-November
• 1st November: Shareholder meeting for AIM de-listing and share roll-back (6:1)
• Early 2018: Drill programme
o Drilling IP targets for buried high-grade porphyry system & build the size of known resource
o 5 to 10 drill holes, 600m to 800m depth
• Ongoing:exploration on early-stagetargets
o Gokcanicaproject: high-grade gold veins recently discovered
o Lead & zinc targets within the SuvaRuda exploration license
o Kremic gold-copper-molybdenum anomaly: porphyry target
