TETRA RESOURCES LIMITED Company Presentation December 2012
Company Strategy • Acquire highly prospective tenements • Explore the tenements for • Gold Copper Uranium Manganese and Base metals • Convert exploration assets to resources and mineable reserves
Midgengadge Manganese Project • Approx. 350km southeast of Port Hedland • Within highly prospective Mn District • Approx. 30km northwest of Woodie Woodie Mn Mine • Immediately SE of the Jupiter Mn Tenements • 48 Graticular Blocks (approx. 145km2) Tetra Resources
Highly Prospective Mn District • Woodie Woodie (Consolidated Mining – Operating with resource 20Mt @ 40%Mn • Nicholas Downs (Hancock Prospecting / Mineral Resources) – Operating @ 700kt @ 38%Mn pa. Resource over 20M tonnes • Spitfire Resources – Resource 11.3Mt @ 15%Mn currently undertaking BFS • Ant Hill & Sunday Hill (Mineral Resources/Mesa Mining) – 2006 Sunday Hill resource 4.7Mt @ 18.4%Mn • Jupiter Mines – 1st pass drilling identified 19 significant intercepts over 15%Mn. Raised $150M to progress Mn (SA) and Fe (AUS) Projects • Shaw River Resources – 10,000m drilling completed in 2011 • Brumby Resources – Drilling identified resource 64Mt @ 10%Mn
Tetra Geoscience Australia – Australian Manganese Resources Map
Mineral District Geology Tetra Resources Ltd • Woodie Woodie Mn Project (over 50 deposits) • Mn occurs on Carrawine Dolomite as cavity fill and sheets and lenses in Pinjian Chert overlying the dolomite (supergene process) • Larger deposits occurs as pipe-like body down to about 30m • Higher grade occurs when the dolomite is uncomformably overlain by the manganiferous shales of Bangemail Group
Midgengadge Mn Project Manganese Hills Manganese Outcrop 38.65% Mn • Midgengadge Project • Mn occurrence on the tenement – rock chip up to 56.9%Mn (average 30% Mn) • Similar geophysical and geological attributes to the Woodie Woodie Mn Mine • Possible extensions below clay cover
Rock Chip Samples Midgengadge Project Approx. 700m • Samples – Low P, Al, Mg, S • Potential for DSO – Direct Shipping Ore
Magnetic rim representing Cookes Creek Granite 6.9% Cu 2.0% Pb 0.36% Zn 175g/t Au • Midgengadge Project • Gold/Copper Potential • ‘Bulls-eye’ magnetic target along NW structural feature • Highly anomalous rock chip samples within surrounding areas
Midgengadge Mn Project Exploration Short Term Strategy (6 months) • Complete ground gravity survey with Atlas Geophysics • Define more prospective areas for ground EM survey • Conduct soil sampling over magnetic anomaly • RC/Diamond drill most prospective targets with Mt Magnet Drilling
Gravity Survey Results to Date • Data filtering shows rock chip sampling overlying anomalous linear targets • Highly prospective linear target with bulls-eye immediately east of rock chip samples below the clay cover
Midgengadge Mn Project • Long Term (6-18 months) • Exploration Strategy • Complete broad spaced drilling with Mt Magnet Drilling • Investigate possible JV with immediate tenement holders • Investigate possible sale of the Mn Tenement only • Investigate the possibility of listing Tetra in ASX based on drilling results
