5. Lundberg Base Metal Deposit
Preliminary Economic Assessment
June 2011
The preliminary economic assessment is based only on Inferred Mineral Resources and are not Mineral Reserves and do
not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have
the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is
therefore no certainty that the conclusions of the PEA will be realized.

28. Forward Looking Statement Disclaimer
This powerpoint presentation contains or refers to "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements in this
release, other than statements of historical fact, which address activities, events or developments that Buchans Minerals believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in
the future are forward-looking information. Wherever possible, words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts",
"anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "believes", "intends" and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", " "would", "might"
or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved, have been used to identify forward-looking information.
In particular, all statements in this powerpoint presentation that address estimated resource quantities, grades and contained metals, possible future mining, and exploration
and development activities are forward looking statements. By its very nature, a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) prepared by Wardrop Engineering
(“Wardrop”) is preliminary. The PEA includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to
them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the findings of the PEA will be realized. Wardrop's assumptions,
estimates, expectations, analysis and opinions used in the PEA are based on the information available to Buchans Minerals and Wardrop as of the date of this news release.
Wardrop's assumptions and estimates are based on experience and perceptions of trends, current conditions and expected development as well as other factors that
Wardrop believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. In particular, assumptions have been made regarding a number
of variables that impact the Lundberg project and include, among other things, market prices for metals, exchange rates, inferred resource tonnages & grades, stripping
ratios, processing techniques, through-put rates, flotation recoveries, concentrate grades, smelter charges, transportation charges, tailings disposal, waste rock disposal, site
reclamation, equipment salvage, operating costs (including mining, processing & general administrative costs), capital costs and assumptions that all the necessary
regulatory (including environmental) permits will be issued in respect of the project.
Readers & viewers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors, variables and assumptions which may have been used. Buchans Minerals is subject
to the specific risks inherent in the mining business as well as general economic and business conditions. Buchans Minerals’ actual results, programs and financial position
could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.
These factors include, but are not necessarily limited to, results of the exploration activities and development of mineral properties, the interpretation of drilling results and
other geological data, the uncertainties of resource estimations, receipt and security of mineral property titles, receipt of licenses required to conduct mining activities,
country risks, project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, the availability of funds, fluctuations in metal prices, currency fluctuations, and general market and
industry conditions. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in the PEA and other forward looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions,
there is no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
information. Accordingly, such statements should not be in any way construed as guarantees of future performance as actual results or developments may differ materially
from those forward-looking statements and readers should not place undue reliance on this information.
