JORC STATEMENT The information in this report that relates to mineral exploration is based on information compiled by Peter John Kennewell, who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Peter John Kennewell is a director of Precious Metal Resources Limited, a subsidiary of Raffles Capital Limited and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a competent person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Identified Mineral Resources, and Ore Reserves”. Peter John Kennewell consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

1 DIRECT SHIPPING ORE In this presentation all references to direct shipping ore (DSO) refers to the company’s exploration objective of defining DSO grade mineralisation. The potential quantity and grade of exploration targets is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

2 TARGETS The  poten.al  quan.ty  and  grade  of  explora.on  targets  is  conceptual  in  nature,  there  has  been  insufficient  explora.on  to  define  a  Mineral  Resource  and  it  is  uncertain  if  further  explora.on  will  result  in  the  determina.on  of  a  Mineral  Resource.

BHP, 1974

“An ore body in the order of magnitude of ten million tonnes at 30% combined base metals and 150 – 300 g/t silver is possible.” 2

AMOCO, 1983

“Halls Peak, …. is a classic sedex massive sulphide system with potential to discover a large, Mt Isa sized deposit.”

High grade, multi-metal field with world class potential.

Neglected for twenty five years because of the low metal prices over that time.

Demand from China, India and other growing countries has reignited interest in the area.

Retired CEO Exploration, Phelps Dodge Mining Co Greg McKelvey opinion (2006)*

“Halls Peak, known since 1896, is a classic Sedex massive sulphide system with potential to discover a large, Mt Isa sized deposit.**

“Mineralisation is in a large sedimentary exhalative System over 30 sq km.

“1 to 3 metre wide high grade zones are surrounded by 10 to 100 metre wide altered zones and potentially mineralised units.”

*Greg  McKelvey  consents  to  the  inclusion  in  this  presenta6on  of  the  ma9ers  based  on  his  informa6on  in  the  form  and  context  in  which  they  appear.  

**Mt  Isa  district  in  2005  had  JORC  reserves  of  24  million  tonnes  (5.1%zn,  3.1%Pb,  1.9oz/t  Ag)  and  an  open-­‐pit  mineable  resource  of  84  million  tonnes  (4.1%Zn,  3.5%Pb,  2.60z/t  Ag)  3  .

We have inherited many millions of dollars worth of exploration data.

Only now have all the small mining titles been consolidated into three exploration licences.

Base metal prices have risen to very high values, making these previously marginal deposits potentially very economic.

Multi-metal province prospected by multinationals 25 years ago

Short Term Plan

16

Pre JORC drill core from more than 23 holes has been preserved by the NSW Government. This will be assayed and relogged.

A drill program will be conducted to confirm, infill and extend high grade mineralisation.

A JORC compliant inferred resource of high grade will be prepared, if supported by the drilling results, .

Extending the Existing Data Set

High Grade Exploration Target, Firefly Deposit (Core has only been partly assayed in the past)

Extending the Historical Deposits*

Medium Term Plan

Compile previous drilling onto computer and determine large mixed high and low grade targets.

Focus on two best target areas and drill to locate a large tonnage of mixed high and low grade mineralisation.

Determine an inferred resource to JORC standard.

* Substantial data and historical estimates pre-dating JORC reporting will be reassessed to confirm inferred resources according to JORC standards .

The Big Picture Long Term Plan

Drill to prove that base metals extend under the mountain for hundreds of metres (or more) in a black shale basin.

Search for silver/copper/zinc/lead in the black shale basins using drilling and geophysics and locate volcanic vents which may host large copper deposits.

Locate and drill a world class base metal deposit.
