14. Ravensthorpe on Schedule for Commissioning
85% of nameplate capacity
Average annual production of
nickel metal:
— 39,000 tonnes for the first five years;

15. Kevitsa Nickel-Copper Project (100%), Finland
Located in northern Finland
Open pit mine
— Estimated measured and indicated
resources of 240 million tonnes grading
0.30% nickel; 0.28 nickel sulphide; 0.41%
copper; using a nickel cut-off grade of
0.1%
Conventional processing to produce
two concentrates:

12% nickel
— copper-PGE-gold concentrate grading ~
28% copper
Designed for 5 million tonnes per
annum with built-in expansion
capabilities

16. Kevitsa on Schedule for Completion
At initial capacity average annual
production
— 10,000 tonnes of nickel
— 20,000 tonnes of copper
LOM C1 cost estimate of $2.50/lb
nickel, net of by product credits
Capital cost estimate of $400 million
Estimated mine life >20 years
Assumptions:
— nickel = $6.75/lb; copper = $2.00/lb;
Euro/US = 1.35
Ongoing drill program returning
further positive results
Production targeted for mid 2012

17. Trident Project (100%), Zambia
Located in Northwestern
Province – approx.150
kilometres from Kansanshi
mine
Acquired in January 2010
Trident project comprises five
prospecting licences totaling
2,300 square kilometres that
includes:
— Sentinel copper deposit
— Enterprise nickel target
17
18. Trident Project - Sentinel Deposit, Zambia
Significant drill program underway
with 16 drills onsite
Excellent continuity of mineralization
Mining and processing conditions
appear relatively straightforward
Mining licence application about to
be filed
Extensive CSR program already
underway

20. Sentinel’s Estimated Potential
Internal evaluation assumptions:
— Resource in the range of at least 700
million tonnes at a headgrade in the
range of 0.65% to 0.80% copper
— Annual throughput rate of 40 million
tonnes
— Annual production of ~250,000 tonnes of
copper
— Capital cost in the range of $1B,
including the necessary infrastructure
— recoveries in the range of 90% to 95%
— unit cash cost of production
approximate to Kansanshi
Initial design and construction could start
in 2011 with commercial production in early
2014
20
21. Potential New Copper Smelter, Zambia
Bulk of Kansanshi concentrate treated at smelters ~ 250 kilometers
from mine site
Limited smelter capacity
Substantial production increase expected from Kansanshi mine and
Sentinel deposit
Evaluation underway to determine the economics and options for
building and operating a copper smelter close to Kansanshi
Completion and decision expected in 2H 2011

22. Haquira Copper Deposit (100%), Peru
Acquired in December 2010
Large scale copper project located
in southern Peru
— M&I resource of 3.7 million tonnes of
copper equivalent and an inferred
resource of 2.4 million tonnes of
copper equivalent
Current priorities:
— Expand infill and condemnation drill
program
— Initiate the process to expand the
exploration program
— Commence the EIA
— Updated reserves and resources
estimate and the environmental impact
assessment in mid-2012 when
detailed project design will commence
