SUMMARY
Outline
4
• Potential for ‘Super World-Class’ Copper-Gold Porphyries in New Guinea (similar to Grasberg, Golpu, Ok Tedi, Frieda River and Panguna)
• Also potential for major gold deposits such as Porgera and Lihir
• New Britain – high concentration of volcanism and associated hydrothermal activity
• Kulu-Fulleborn Trend (Whiteman Range) – hosts major copper-gold mineralisedsystems, as demonstrated by previous exploration in the area
• The corridor is emerging as one of the most prospective belts for Cu/Au mineralisation in PNG
• Papua Mining plc actively exploring for economic mineral deposits in and adjacent to the Kulu-Fulleborn Trend using a pipeline strategy and systematic approach
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
• Numerous world class copper-gold deposits in the region
• Rediscovery at Golpuis the most recent world class deposit
• Much of PNG is under-explored
• High potential for discovering additional economic mineral deposits

SUMMARY
Summary
28
• The Kulu-Fulleborn Trend is highly prospective for Cu/Au porphyry and related deposits
• Historical exploration work has been focussed on very small areas but has shown significant copper-gold mineralised systems occur in the belt at several localities
• Papua Mining plc has been granted nine licences in New Britain and four under application. The Group has been actively exploring with a systematic field-based approach since 2010
• Combining new technologies with ‘boots on the ground’, systematic geochemistry and prospecting has already produced significant hitherto undiscovered new targets across the entire licence area
• Drilling commenced at the Junction target, the frst of at least three targets to be drill tested in the Mt Nakru area.
