4. Overview
Toledo Mining is focused on nickel
laterites in the Philippines
Large, nickel resource base in 4 * TMC interest 56.1%
deposits on Palawan Island *

Focused on ‘value add’
downstream processing
(TMC interest 52%)
Supportive major shareholders
Sumitomo’s Coral Bay

5. Strategy
Maintain Toledo’s substantial asset base and good standing with
local partners and government
Negotiate binding agreements with third party investors and
consumers for value added processing
Be ready to resume economic direct ore shipping (DOS) operations
to satisfy demand
Ongoing drive to reduce operating and overhead expenses

6. The Philippines
Proximity to Asian markets
2004 marked clarity and legal certainty with the Mining Act
2004 Minerals Action Plan
2005 formation of the Minerals Development Council
Foreign direct ownership of projects currently restricted to 40% of mining
operations and investments of less than US$50 million, but no limit on
economic ownership
Palawan Island is stable & has history of mining and beneficiation, e.g.
Sumitomo’s Coral Bay nickel laterite HPAL plant
Successful election of new President Noynoy Aquino, who is pro-mining

7. Berong Nickel Corporation (BNC)
Current JORC resource of 10Mt @1.55% Ni (155,000t contained Ni)
sufficient to supply DOS operation for 15 years
Exploration programme underway to prove up additional 30Mt – 40Mt
resource required to support 20,000tpa nickel processing operation
DOS: suspended in 2009 due to market conditions, actively seeking long
term contracts
Mining can recommence at short notice
Ongoing discussions with potential strategic partners
Metallurgical test work has confirmed Berong ore highly amenable to
leaching process

8. Berong Exploration Programme
• Exploration programme targeting increase in JORC resource to 40Mt
• Programme commenced late 2009, anticipated completion Q4 2010
• 20,000m drill programme with 6 rigs on site & mobilised
• Resource Upgrade due Q1 2011
• Drilling commenced in Parcel 4, the largest of 6 parcels granted under
the Exploration Permit
• Infill drilling in existing pit area: 54 holes drilled, possibility to drill more
holes once interpretation of 54 holes completed – this is expected to
increase the current reserve tonnage
Long Point drilling to commence once Local Government (LG) approval is
received, which is anticipated Q3 2010
Dangla drilling to commence once LG approval is received, which is
anticipated Q4 2010

15. Ipilan Nickel Corp (INC)
Current JORC resource: 30.6Mt @ av. grade 1.36%
Ni at a 1% grade cut-off (416,000t contained nickel)
Sufficient to support long life mining and processing
operation
Potential to increase the size of the resource
Recently obtained crucial municipality endorsement
for a mining operation
This, along with endorsement of the four local
councils (barangay) demonstrates community
support for the project
Final step in permitting is the endorsement of the
Palawan Provincial government and the Palawan Sumitomo’s Coral Bay
Council for Sustainable Development
DOS operation could commence in 2011 if warranted
by market conditions

16. The DOS Market
Chinese imports of nickel ore recovered in early 2010 BUT import demand now for 2 product groups:
Iron substitute: high iron(>40%) / low nickel (<1%)
Ferrous nickel production: high nickel (>2+%)
Prices for traditional product (+/-1.5% Ni, 30% Fe) remain weak
BUT evidence Japanese demand beginning to exert upward price pressure
1616
17. Moving Forward
Complete exploration programme at Berong
Complete permitting process at Ipilan
Actively pursue DOS contracts - currently in negotiations with 2 major
nickel producers for long term nickel ore supply
Reinvigorate discussions with strategic partners regarding value adding
European Nickel, now merger with Rusina completed
JXTC, now involved with financially strong partner Chinalco
