  4. PROJECTS Kapulo Mid West Iron Ore Golden Mile South

  5. KAPULO PROJECT Strategic Joint Venture with Anvil Mining (65% MWE) Approximately 5,500km² of contiguous tenure in DRC and Zambia Mawson West progressing towards maiden JORC/43-101 resource.

  6. RECENT POLITICAL & OTHER CHANGES • Govt Mining Review – No change to the Dikulushi Mining Convention • New Mining Code (2003) • First democratically elected government (2007) • Major engagement by multilateral community: • •United Nations • •World Bank • •MIGA • •IFC • •International Monetary Fund • Renewed bilateral engagement • Engagement by international financial markets • Engagement by political risk insurance agencies • Increasing focus by international mining industry

  8. Located in the South East corner of DRC. Anvil’s Dikulushi mine is 130km South West of Kapulo prospects. Operated out of Congo and Zambia – 12km from Zambian border.

  9. Project underpinned by Maiden JORC-43/101 resource in progress at Katanga and Safari North. Currently drilling at Katanga and Safari North, both open ended and at depth. Approximately 60km of strike on the mineralised Kapulo fault. High-order copper geochemical anomalies along fault require trenching. Numerous other copper & gold occurrences yet to be evaluated-000’s of km sq to be explored

  10. KATANGA

  11. KATANGA 53 diamond drill holes completed. Orebody comprises a south plunging high-grade copper shoot. Latest results: 45m @ 5.1% Cu incl. 30m@ 7.4%Cu 48m @ 4.4% Cu incl. 14m @ 11.1% Cu 64.4m @ 5.9% Cu incl. 40m @ 8.6% Cu 62m @ 4% Cu incl. 27m @ 8.3% Cu Grades up to 40% Cu recorded. 0.5% COG Copper PRELIMINARY INTERIM RESOURCE

  12. KATANGA DRILL SECTIONS

  13. SAFARI NORTH

  14. SAFARI NORTH 25 Diamond drill holes completed. Results to date very encouraging: 30m @ 4.3%Cu incl 18m @ 6.6%Cu 10m @ 5.2%Cu 34m @ 3.4%Cu incl 22m @ 4.9%Cu PRELIMINARY INTERIMRESOURCE 0.5% COG Copper

  15. SAFARI NORTH DRILL SECTIONS

  16. SAFARI NORTH & SAFARI SOUTH

  17. POTENTIAL High order geochem drill targets on the 60km mineralised Kapulo fault Kapulo deposits open-ended and open at depth Other stratabound and vein style Cu and gold occurrences within the project area Potential for new targets to host very significant copper tonnes

  18. DEVELOPMENT Systematic metallurgical and geotechnical test work underway. PFS results of metallurgical test work Locked Cycle test: 34.4%Cu @ 93.2% Rec and 90g/t Ag @ 92% Rec African Mining Consultants engaged for Environmental and Social Impact Assessment. Preliminary Pit Optimisation studies underway. Investigating possible recommissioning of hydro powerstation at Piana Mwanga and other hydropower options.

  19. Mawson West collaborating with Medicines Sans Frontiers –humanitarian and medical aid agency. MSF are providing AIDS and health education for the workers & the local villagers. As part of the JV with Anvil, Mawson will take part in social development programs in the region for community based projects.
