6. History & Going Forward
Brief History of Lac à Paul
• Property discovered in late 1990s
– Originally explored for Nickel
– Phosphate/Titanium was discovered
• Market in 1990s was not ready for the project
• Listed in 2003
• Phosphate price escalated in the last 2-3 years, and the
Company decided to move the project forward
• Established Initial Resource
• Completed Scoping Study
• Completed Pre-feasibility Study
Key Catalysts
• Evaluation of increased production scenario (3.0 Mtpy)
and recovery and sale of titanium concentrate (Early 2012)
• Feasibility to commence after the evaluation
• Drilling the Paul Zone and other zones including Lucie
and Nicole Zones

7. Phosphate and the World
Phosphorous is an essential ingredient in fertilizers Phosphate Rock Demand
used for plant and root development • Phosphate Rock demand reached record
• There are no substitute for phosphates in fertilizers levels in 2010 and is projected to grow at
an annual rate of 2% through 2020
• 87% of all phosphate supply is used for fertilizers
• Demand for high P2O5, low Cadmium
rock will dominate phosphate rock trade in
EU and North America

remain high, having been undervalued vs.
