Arabian-Nubian ShieldA Major Massive Sulfide Province
• Arabian-Nubian Shield emerging as one of the world’s most significant VMS belts
• >180Mt of massive sulfide discovered in last ten years. Best discovery record in the world. Much of it in Eritrea
• High value gold-rich deposits. High value gold caps overlie enriched copper mineralization
• Still underexplored • Desert terrain is easy to explore with low
cost remote sensing and basic prospecting
• Most has not been flown by airborne geophysics
Bisha 39Mt
Hambok 27Mt
Ariab +60Mt
Asmara 60 Mt
Eritrea
• Large land package covering extensions of Bisha belt
• Significant resource at Hambok• Excellent exploration potential
near Hambok• New high grade discovery at
Aradaib
Gold-Rich VMS ExplorationBisha Deposit: 1 million oz gold
9.8 million oz silver747 million lbs copper
1 billion lbs zinc
• Prospecting has identified numerous gossan + outcrops on licenses
• Area has never been flown with airborne Mag and EM
• VTEM Survey underway
• Will cover Hambok Trend, Aradaib, and Shukula for the first time
• Expected to generate lots of drill targets.
Currently conducting VTEM survey in order to detect mineralized bodies obscured by overburden.
M + I10.4Mt @ 1% and Cu 2.2% Zn
Inferred17Mt @ 0.85 Cu and 1.7% Zn
Hambok Trend
• Hambok is coincident with a strong gravity anomaly shown in red
• Untested potential along linear trend from Hambok
• This area will be covered by planned airborne survey
Aradaib
• Recent high-grade discoveryARD-01: 10m 1.9% Cu, 1.2% Zn, 0.92 g/t Au, 21 g/t Ag
7m 1% Cu, 15.1% Zn, 0.39 g/t Au, 33 g/t Ag

Other
•3km trend of anomalous rock geochemistry; scattered gossans
•Extensive shallow cover on strike
•Drilling to date has only tested a tiny fraction of the exploration potential
•Upcoming airborne survey will trace mineralization under cover
Other Significant Prospects - Shukula
• Significant new discovery • High copper-zinc-gold
gossan• Opens up a new belt• Will be covered by
airborne survey
Other Significant Prospects- Koken
•Favorable host rocks extend for >100km to the north of Bisha•Alteration associated with mineralization shows up on satellite imagery- green and red patches•Follow-up prospecting has found high copper, zinc, gold geochemistry
• Significant new shallow potash play
• Historical production; recent new results
• Close to tidewater• Potential for other
evaporite minerals??
Recent shallow potash intercepts

Eritrea- Other Opportunities
NGEX in South America• Porphyry copper-gold projects
of interest to: – China, Japan, and Korea
– mid tier base metal producers
– Gold companies
• Large copper deposits in stable jurisdictions on Pacifc rim are very rare
• Most are controlled by majors
• NGEX has exactly the kind of projects all the above will want– Large size +500Mt potential
– By-product gold; good Cu eq grades
– Concentrate producers
– Located in stable jurisdictions on Pacific rim
Vicuna Project• Copper and gold potential• District scale play
– at least 3 major copper-gold systems on one contiguous land package
– each one a potential company maker
• Partnered with Japanese– 60% NGEX
– 40% JOGMEC
Josemaria, Argentina
Resource
Cover
• Large resource with potential to grow substantially
• Is the other half under cover?
• Higher grade core
• JOGMEC earning 40%, funding current program
Los Helados, Chile
Large copper-gold porphyry systemAt least 1000m by 700 m by 450 m
760 m @ 0.4 % Cu, 0.2 g/t Au Including 345 m 0.6% Cu, 0.2 g/t Au
Deepest drill holes still in mineralization at +800M
Higher grades at southern end
High sulfidation gold potentialat higher levels
Filo del Sol
• Large high-sulphidation gold system
• Overprinted on deeper porphyry copper
• Very large alteration zone with limited testing
Holes drilled so far are very similar to first 54 first holes at Veledaro
A Significant Resource Basewith Excellent Exploration Potential
Summary• A very strong pipeline of resource and resource extension
projects in South America and Eritrea- not fully valued• Eritrean projects historically discounted but this may be
changing– Hambok is very similar to Emba Derho– Aradaib is the best new discovery since Bisha– Airborne Mag/EM could be a game changer– Opening of Bisha Mine and strong interest in region from gold
majors may lead to re-rating of Eritrean projects
• South American exploration starts November, 2010– Will drill 4 porphyry copper projects and one high-sulfidation gold
project. News through May 2011
• Teck program at GJ- Spring 2011
