Altona Overview and Objectives

A 8,000ktpa copper producer at Outokumpu in Finland with by-product gold, silver and zinc

Considering production expansion at Outokumpu dependent on further reserve/resource growth from current deep drill program

Completed a US$250m NPV Definitive Feasibility Study for the Little Eva project, which is within Altona’s 100% owned Roseby copper project near Mt Isa, Queensland

Little Eva could produce 39,000tpa copper and 17,000oz of gold per year over a mine life in excess of 10 years at a C1 cash cost of US $1.73/lb

Pursuing a range of transactions to realise value / develop Roseby, with the overriding objective being to maximise value for its shareholders

Can increase throughput from 550,000 to 800,000tpa if sufficient reserves, cost approx €7m

Accumulating US$50 million per annum in metal in cobalt-nickel concentrate in storage

Scoping studies have demonstrated technical feasibility of producing cobalt-nickel product able to be sold to refineries
