AMR Resources Ltd. (AMR), is a mineral exploration company with a
long term strategy of discovering and advancing big deposits with strong
production potential - Mine-to-Market Strategy
100% ownership of mineral exploration licences in Turkey covering
approximately 1860 sq km in Turkey – a country rapidly emerging as a
location where the potential for finding and developing an economic
deposit is favourable. The exploration licences are located in an area,
named Isparta Angle in Southwestern Turkey which is recognised as
having a unique structural and geological history. AMR’s exploration
licence area is a composite of exploration project ground held under title
by the AMR Group and designated as
AKSU DIAMAS PROJECT
Company Overview
Why Thorium ?
Only Uranium-235 (U-235), Plutonium-239 (Pu-239) and Thorium/Uranium-233 (U-233) are being
used all over the world as Nuclear Energy Fuel.
U-235 Only 0,7% of the total Uranium recovered from the nature is U-235.
Pu-239 There are no minerals containing Pu. At the Reactors run by Uranium Fuel,
Pu is created due to the break-down of Uranium.
U-233 In the nature Thorium is found as Th-232. By absorption in very small
amounts of U-235 or Pu-239, Thorium is converted to U-233 and all of it is
used as a nuclear fuel.
To be able to produce 1,000MW electricity 1,000Kg Thorium would be sufficient.
The only Thorium producing country is India. It is known that India is producing about 1000-1500
Tons of REO/year. Since, it is known that the Monazites of India are containing 7-8% of Thorium, it is
estimated that Thorium Production of India is approximately 100 Tons/year.
During the last years apart from countries like India, USA, China, Russia, Canada and Norway and
also Nuclear Reactor Manufacturing firms like Westinghouse, AREVA and GE put a certain weight
on Nuclear Reactor Technologies based on Thorium but currently prefer not to disclose anything.
THORIUM
Why Thorium ?
USA based firm Thorium Power which has been active for many years, has been in cooperation
with Russia’s Kurchatov Institute. On December 2008, Thorium Power has established a joint
venture with one of the leading groups of India, Punj Lloyd, in the field of Thorium Fuel.
The overall Thorium Resource of the world currently known is calculated according to the Th
content of the monazites containing ratios between 0,1% and 7-8%.
As in Norway, generally Monazites are in fine grain sizes of 40-50µ, and the Th containing
minerals in them are in the grain size of 1-2µ.
Besides the ones in India, one of the largest Thorium Resources currently known is Lemhi Pass
deposit in USA which belongs to Thorium Energy Inc. and its proven reserve is 194 Ton ThO2
and probable reserve is 3,579 Ton ThO2. China is producing Thorium as a result of their Rare
Earth production.
Any Thorium Resource based on THORITE Mineral is not known in the world yet.
THORIUM
Why Thorium ?
The rationale behind Thorium fuel SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS
• Huge global thorium (Th) resources – not in pockets
• Excellent material properties in reactor operations
• Superior proliferation resistance
• Efficient plutonium (Pu) destruction
• Generated fissile material (U233) can be re-used in
LWRs
• Improved environmental credit in a closed fuel cycle
• Improved waste characteristics (less volume and
toxicity / more stabile)
• Can be used in existing commercial reactors
• Ordinary fuel fabrication techniques can be applied
• Licensable in ordinary regulatory environment

WORLDWIDE ACTIVITES ON THORIUM
Why Thorium ?
India
Russia
The prototype of Thorium’s design
will be tested in a commercial
1,000-megawatt reactor in Russia.
Scientists at Kurchatov have
been crucial to Thorium’s work.
Why Thorium ?
Thorium in Norway
Fen area
This geological site in the Telemark region is an
ancient volcano that contains a unique collection of
minerals. Rare earth elements and uranium in
addition to at least 1 million tons of thorium are
also of commercial interest.
Thorium Norway ASA
Three parties have mineral rights in Fen : The
historic iron miner Cappelen Holding ASA, the
Norwegian state and Thorium Norway AS. The latter
shares the vision for a cheap and disruptive thorium
energy infrastructure.
1 million tons of Th contain
minimum 300 yrs of global energy.
1 ton of Th powers the city of Oslo for
1 year - using the MSR !
Debate and opinion
Some see thorium taking over from North Sea oil. Vocal
environmentalists have criticized both the Accelerator Driven System
proposed by Dr Egil Lillestøl and varying Water Reactors proposed by
Thor Energi AS. A stable majority of public opinion perceives thorium as
acceptable as opposed to uranium.

Why Thorium ?
The Report
In February 08 Thorium report committee chairman Mikko Kara handed over the document to the Norwegian Minister for Oil and
Energy. The Molten Salt Reactor actually comes out in style : The Report recognizes the fact that the MSR is the only GenIV machine that
can run on a closed thorium fuel cycle. Also thorium energy should be recognized as CO2-free and sustainable. a Nordic collaboration is
recommended
Our commentaries to the Report
We think that more emphasis should be have been focused in practical detail on reactor safety, operation simplicity, non-proliferation and
cost.
The committee echoed the Norwegian Geological Survey, NGU, that mining costs for Fen thorium are uncertain. We remind that 10 000€
per kg Th is fully acceptable. Due diligence in Fen will reveal primary revenue streams from Rare Earth Elements REEs allowing for high
environmental standards.
Thorium Electro Nuclear published commentaries to the Thorium report on the Minister's website.
The MSR was mentioned in the Norwegian technical weekly TU.

Nuclear power is set to make a comeback
Nuclear industry has huge potential for new technologies and new
approaches
Miners can easily mine thorium instead or as well as uranium
Thorium is the Greener alternative to traditional nuclear fuel
promising alternative energy source that is safe and sustainable
Using Thorium as Nuclear fuel could generate low cost power
1 Kg Th = 1 MWe
Substantial long term investment upside
Thorium as an additional Greener investment potential to an investors nuclear
portfolio along with uranium and nuclear technology

Panel Discussion - Thorium: the future of energy?

  • 1. INDUSTRIAL METALS, MINERALS AND MINEABLE ENERGY INVESTMENT SUMMIT 2010 LONDON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY ● WEDNESDAY, 30 NOV 2010 www.ObjectiveCapitalConferences.com Thorium: the future of energy? Ahmet Arda – CEO, AMR Resources
  • 2. AMR Resources Ltd Rare Earths, Minor Metals & Thorium Project TURKEY www. amrminerals.co.uk
  • 3. AMR Resources Ltd. (AMR), is a mineral exploration company with a long term strategy of discovering and advancing big deposits with strong production potential - Mine-to-Market Strategy 100% ownership of mineral exploration licences in Turkey covering approximately 1860 sq km in Turkey – a country rapidly emerging as a location where the potential for finding and developing an economic deposit is favourable. The exploration licences are located in an area, named Isparta Angle in Southwestern Turkey which is recognised as having a unique structural and geological history. AMR’s exploration licence area is a composite of exploration project ground held under title by the AMR Group and designated as AKSU DIAMAS PROJECT Company Overview
  • 4. Why Thorium ? Only Uranium-235 (U-235), Plutonium-239 (Pu-239) and Thorium/Uranium-233 (U-233) are being used all over the world as Nuclear Energy Fuel. U-235 Only 0,7% of the total Uranium recovered from the nature is U-235. Pu-239 There are no minerals containing Pu. At the Reactors run by Uranium Fuel, Pu is created due to the break-down of Uranium. U-233 In the nature Thorium is found as Th-232. By absorption in very small amounts of U-235 or Pu-239, Thorium is converted to U-233 and all of it is used as a nuclear fuel. To be able to produce 1,000MW electricity 1,000Kg Thorium would be sufficient. The only Thorium producing country is India. It is known that India is producing about 1000-1500 Tons of REO/year. Since, it is known that the Monazites of India are containing 7-8% of Thorium, it is estimated that Thorium Production of India is approximately 100 Tons/year. During the last years apart from countries like India, USA, China, Russia, Canada and Norway and also Nuclear Reactor Manufacturing firms like Westinghouse, AREVA and GE put a certain weight on Nuclear Reactor Technologies based on Thorium but currently prefer not to disclose anything. THORIUM
  • 5. Why Thorium ? USA based firm Thorium Power which has been active for many years, has been in cooperation with Russia’s Kurchatov Institute. On December 2008, Thorium Power has established a joint venture with one of the leading groups of India, Punj Lloyd, in the field of Thorium Fuel. The overall Thorium Resource of the world currently known is calculated according to the Th content of the monazites containing ratios between 0,1% and 7-8%. As in Norway, generally Monazites are in fine grain sizes of 40-50µ, and the Th containing minerals in them are in the grain size of 1-2µ. Besides the ones in India, one of the largest Thorium Resources currently known is Lemhi Pass deposit in USA which belongs to Thorium Energy Inc. and its proven reserve is 194 Ton ThO2 and probable reserve is 3,579 Ton ThO2. China is producing Thorium as a result of their Rare Earth production. Any Thorium Resource based on THORITE Mineral is not known in the world yet. THORIUM
  • 6. Why Thorium ? The rationale behind Thorium fuel SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS • Huge global thorium (Th) resources – not in pockets • Excellent material properties in reactor operations • Superior proliferation resistance • Efficient plutonium (Pu) destruction • Generated fissile material (U233) can be re-used in LWRs • Improved environmental credit in a closed fuel cycle • Improved waste characteristics (less volume and toxicity / more stabile) • Can be used in existing commercial reactors • Ordinary fuel fabrication techniques can be applied • Licensable in ordinary regulatory environment Source: Global Th-Resources, tons; Australia 300,000 India 290,000 Norway 170.000 USA 160,000 Canada 100,000 Others 90,000 South Africa 35,000 Brazil 16,000 Malaysia 4,500 *US Geological Survey
  • 7. ■ India has nuclear and Thorium as main energy strategy ■ Use surplus Pu-239 as seed fuel ■Only 450 kg Th/år Indian 500 MWe Thorium reactor construction WORLDWIDE ACTIVITES ON THORIUM Why Thorium ? India Russia The prototype of Thorium’s design will be tested in a commercial 1,000-megawatt reactor in Russia. Scientists at Kurchatov have been crucial to Thorium’s work.
  • 8. Why Thorium ? Thorium in Norway Fen area This geological site in the Telemark region is an ancient volcano that contains a unique collection of minerals. Rare earth elements and uranium in addition to at least 1 million tons of thorium are also of commercial interest. Thorium Norway ASA Three parties have mineral rights in Fen : The historic iron miner Cappelen Holding ASA, the Norwegian state and Thorium Norway AS. The latter shares the vision for a cheap and disruptive thorium energy infrastructure. 1 million tons of Th contain minimum 300 yrs of global energy. 1 ton of Th powers the city of Oslo for 1 year - using the MSR ! Debate and opinion Some see thorium taking over from North Sea oil. Vocal environmentalists have criticized both the Accelerator Driven System proposed by Dr Egil Lillestøl and varying Water Reactors proposed by Thor Energi AS. A stable majority of public opinion perceives thorium as acceptable as opposed to uranium. Links Fen area (in Norwegian) Thorium Norway AS Thor Energi Cappelen Holding Egil Lillestøl Norsk Thorium © Thorium ElectroNuclear Ltd Svarvargatan 5, 11249 Stockholm, SWEDEN http://www.torium.se
  • 9. Why Thorium ? The Report In February 08 Thorium report committee chairman Mikko Kara handed over the document to the Norwegian Minister for Oil and Energy. The Molten Salt Reactor actually comes out in style : The Report recognizes the fact that the MSR is the only GenIV machine that can run on a closed thorium fuel cycle. Also thorium energy should be recognized as CO2-free and sustainable. a Nordic collaboration is recommended Our commentaries to the Report We think that more emphasis should be have been focused in practical detail on reactor safety, operation simplicity, non-proliferation and cost. The committee echoed the Norwegian Geological Survey, NGU, that mining costs for Fen thorium are uncertain. We remind that 10 000€ per kg Th is fully acceptable. Due diligence in Fen will reveal primary revenue streams from Rare Earth Elements REEs allowing for high environmental standards. Thorium Electro Nuclear published commentaries to the Thorium report on the Minister's website. The MSR was mentioned in the Norwegian technical weekly TU. © Thorium ElectroNuclear Ltd | Svarvargatan 5, 11249 Stockholm, SWEDEN | http://www.torium.se
  • 10. Nuclear power is set to make a comeback Nuclear industry has huge potential for new technologies and new approaches Miners can easily mine thorium instead or as well as uranium Thorium is the Greener alternative to traditional nuclear fuel promising alternative energy source that is safe and sustainable Using Thorium as Nuclear fuel could generate low cost power 1 Kg Th = 1 MWe Substantial long term investment upside Thorium as an additional Greener investment potential to an investors nuclear portfolio along with uranium and nuclear technology Why Thorium ?
