enhanced recoveries will
allow annual copper
production to rise to
~50,000 tonnes
• Ongoing exploration at and
nearby focused on identifying
additional feedstock to extend
the life of the operation

15. Projects – Ravensthorpe Nickel Project
• Located in Western Australia
• Open pit using conventional
drill and blast, load and haul
system
• Processing plant using proven
technology
15

16. Projects – Ravensthorpe Nickel Project
• On schedule for
commissioning in 2nd half 2011
• Average annual production
of nickel metal:
– 39,000 tonnes for the first
five years
– 28,000 tonnes over the
life of mine
• Expected mine life >30 years
16

17. Projects – Kevitsa Nickel/Copper Project
• Located in northern Finland
• Open pit mine
– Estimated measured and indicated
resources of 240 million tonnes grading
0.30% nickel; 0.28 nickel sulphide;
0.41% copper; using a nickel cut-off
grade of 0.1%
• Conventional processing to produce
two concentrates:
– nickel-cobalt-PGE-concentrate grading ~
12% nickel
– copper-PGE-gold concentrate grading ~
28% copper
• Designed for 5 million tonnes per
annum with built-in expansion
capabilities
17

18. Projects – Kevitsa Nickel/Copper Project
• At initial capacity average annual
production
– 10,000 tonnes of nickel
– 20,000 tonnes of copper
• LOM C1 cost estimate of $2.50/lb
nickel, net of by product credits
• Capital cost estimate of $400 million
• Estimated mine life >20 years
• Assumptions:
– nickel = $6.75/lb; copper = $2.00/lb;
Euro/US = 1.35
• Ongoing drill program returning
further positive results
• Production targeted for mid 2012
18

19. Projects – The Trident Project
• Located in Northwestern
Province – ~150 kilometres
from the Kansanshi mine
• Acquired in January 2010
• Trident project comprises:
– Sentinel copper deposit
– Enterprise target
– Intrepid target
19

20. Projects – The Sentinel Deposit
• Significant drill program underway
with 16 drills onsite
• Excellent continuity of
mineralization
• Mining and processing conditions
appear relatively straightforward
• Large-scale mining licences granted
• Extensive CSR program already
underway
• Initial design and construction
could start in 2011 with commercial
production in early 2014
20

21. Projects – The Sentinel Deposit – Drill Pattern
February 2011
21

22. Projects – The Sentinel Deposit
• Internal evaluation assumptions:
– Resource in the range of at least 700
million tonnes at a headgrade in the range
of 0.65% to 0.80% copper
– Annual throughput rate of 40 million tonnes
– Annual production of an initial 150,000
tonnes of copper rising up to 300,000 tonnes
– Capital cost in the range of $1B, including
the necessary infrastructure
– recoveries in the range of 90% to 95%
– unit cash cost of production approximate
to Kansanshi
• Initial design and construction could start
in 2011 with commercial production in
early 2014
22

23. Projects – New Copper Smelter
• Compelling economics
• Limited smelter capacity in Zambia currently
• Facility would be dedicated to production from Kansanshi
and Sentinel
• Benefits include:
– Production of sulphuric acid for use in Kansanshi’s oxide circuit
– Existing infrastructure
– Available workforce in nearby community
– Would eliminate dependence on 3rd party available capacity
23

24. Projects – Haquira Copper Deposit
• Acquired in December 2010
• Large scale copper project
located in southern Peru
– M&I resource of 3.7 million tonnes
of copper equivalent and an
inferred resource of 2.4 million
tonnes of copper equivalent
• Current priorities:
– Expanding infill and
condemnation drill program
– Updated reserves and
resources estimate and the
environmental impact
assessment in mid-2012 when
detailed project design will
commence
