results, ore reserve and mineral resource estimation, environmental risks, physical risks, legislative and regulatory
changes, political risks, project delay or advancement, ability to meet additional funding requirements, factors relating to
title to properties, native title and aboriginal heritage issues, dependence on key personnel, share price volatility,
approvals and cost estimates. Consequently, there can be no assurance that such statements and projections will be
realised. Neither RGR, or any of its affiliates, advisers, consultants, agents or any of their respective officers or

Company Overview• Targeting Base and Precious Metals
– Zinc / Lead / Copper / Silver / Gold– Multi commodity exposure protects against fluctuations in any one commodity
• Diverse Portfolio of Assets
– High value exploration ground held in Chile and Peru– Includes drill-ready prospects (‘La Negra’ & ‘Cerro Huancash’)– 100% ownership or right to ownership of tenements
• Drill ready targets
– Geochemically & Geophysically well defined targets- COMPANY MAKER POTENTIAL OF LA NEGRA– Exploration Target of 10Mt-70Mt at La Negra – Targeting $3b+ AUD in-ground metal prospects across multiple tenements– Participation in at least 15,000m of drilling p.a. readily achievable
• Strong Board of Directors
– Extensive Public Company experience– Proven track record with member s of the board founding and managing companies such as Queensland Gas Company,
Earth Heat Resources Ltd, China Yunnan Australia Copper Ltd and Bandanna Energy Ltd
• Corporate Strategy
– Explore and Develop multi commodity assets – Provide risk diversification and potential short term re-rating– Grow through organic and inorganic means
Under the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Resources (Paragraph 18) the Company is required to make the following statement with regard to Exploration Targets – the potential quantity and quality is conceptual in nature, and that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource or Ore
Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.

Chile• Flagship project ‘La Negra’
• Substantial Exploration target of between 10Mt-70Mt*
• Targeting Zinc, Lead and precious metals
• Drill Ready
– Drill targets identified
– Drilling to commence shortly after listing
• Historical workings, and surface mineralisation
– Mapped and inspected
– Samples of up to 20% contained metal verified
• Substantial Geochemical surveying
– Conforms to surface mapping and is a significant anomalous halo
• 3D induced Polarisation Survey
– Conforming to the general shape and area of the geochemical and
surface anomalism, indicates a potentially large sulphide resource
target underneath the shallow oxide
* Under the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Resources (Paragraph 18) the Company is required to make the following statement with regard to Exploration Targets – the potential quantity and quality is conceptual in nature, and that there has been insufficient exploration to
define a Mineral Resource or Ore Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.

La Negra’s main attraction
• Close to coast and infrastructure
• Excellent “lead in” data reduces project risk
• Substantial polymetallic exploration target of 10Mt-70Mt*
• Known high grade zinc-lead-silver mineralisation outcrops; large
volume of sulphides inferred at depth in geophysics
• Possibly linked to concealed copper porphyry system
• Potentially very high value project if a substantial resource is
confirmed
• Various development options available to the Company if a resource
is delineated
• Large mining companies (eg. Vale) operating nearby* Under the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Resources (Paragraph 18) the Company is required to make the following statement with regard to Exploration Targets – the potential quantity and quality is
conceptual in nature, and that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource or Ore Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.

Cerro Huancash Project
• One license of 575.6 ha
• Zinc, lead & precious metals exploration
• Limited exploration performed on the tenement, however within surrounding area a zone of approx. 8km in length has been reported with very strong zinc, copper, lead, silver and gold anomalies - Cerro Huancash covers over 3km of prospective belt
• Cerro Huancash will be the initial focus in Peru, with surface exploration in early 2012 followed by drilling towards Q2 of 2012 subject to favourable results
