Forward Looking Statement
This presentation may contain, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended and forward-looking information within the meaning of the Ontario
Securities Act. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks that may cause actual results to be
materially different from those implied herein including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of
drill results and the estimation of mineral resources; the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that
future exploration and development results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations; accidents, equipment
breakdowns, labour disputes or other unanticipated interruptions in exploration and development; the potential for unexpected
expenses; commodity price or currency fluctuations; or failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis. Should one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ
materially from those presented in forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
the forward-looking statements made in this presentation and to make reference to the company’s prospectus and technical
report for further information.
The historical resource estimates reported in this presentation are not compliant with NI43-101. The resource estimates are
reported as they exist in the historic records. The company has not done sufficient work to classify the historical resources as
current mineral resources and therefore is not treating the historical resources as current resources.
This presentation has been prepared by the Company, James Robertson, P.Eng., who is the Qualified Person responsible for
the preparation of the scientific and technical information related to the Company’s operations that is included in this
presentation.
Overview

Blackheath Resources - a company acquiring the top past-
producing tungsten mines of Portugal, currently holds 4 of the
most significant past producers
Management – experienced in tungsten and Portugal through the
ownership and sale of Primary Metals, which held the
Panasqueira tungsten mine in Portugal. Primary Metals started at
$0.15 to a cash sale at $3.65 in 4.5 years.
Tungsten – a strategic metal in demand, top of the critical supply
list in the EU. Current price US $185 per MTU unit (1 MTU = 10kg)

Borralha Production History
• In production from 1904-1985
• Largest past producing tungsten mine in Portugal
• The total known production of tungsten concentrates (wolframite
and scheelite) from 1904 until the closing of Borralha is estimated
at about 18,500 tonnes
• Ore was mined primarily from vertical quartz veins, supplemented
by limited open pit excavations in the later years
• Extensive infrastructure in place including:
– Multiple paved access roads
– Former hydro electric plant for the mine, still in operation
– Ground work for future buildings and plant site
– 2 large shafts access the vertical veins
– Ample water supply
17
Borralha Tungsten Project
• 118 metre intersection in BO 8A assaying 0.29% WO3 (57m to 175m) and including 91 metre intersection assaying 0.31% WO3 (84m to 175m)
• One of the best tungsten drill results ever reported from surface
• 5 of the 6 drill holes ended within the boundaries of the breccia
• A higher grade zone located in the centre of the breccia is open to the north and south and at depth to the east
• Early indications show that the mineralized breccia may be at least 575 metres in length, over 150 metres in width and open to depth of over 200m from surface
