2 Nokomis Deposit: A Combined PGM & Base Metal Investment Opportunity Objective Capital’s London Global  Mining Investment Conference 	          September 2009
3 Duluth Metals’ strategy is to systematically explore and develop the Nokomis Property, which hosts the Company’s main asset – the combined base and precious metal Nokomis Deposit.  The vision of the Company is to move the world class Nokomis copper-nickel-PGM Deposit through feasibility into production.

6 Significant Contained PGM’s & Base Metals  Contained Metals in Expanded Nokomis Resource* Base Precious *Based on resource estimated at 1.0% copper equivalent cut-off. Reference: July 18, 2008  Technical Report on the Resource Estimate for the Nokomis Deposit on the Maturi Extension Properties, Minnesota, U.S.A. 6
7 Nokomis Deposit NI 43-101 Resource Estimate NI 43-101 Estimate by Scott Wilson RPA dated June 2008 Scott Wilson RPA estimated the Mineral Resource using average long-term metal US$ prices of  $1.75/lb copper, $7.00/lb nickel, $10.00/lb Co, $600/oz Au, $1100/oz Pt and $350/oz Pd.    Copper equivalent (CuEq%) = Cu% + 3.03 x Ni% + 0.63 x Co% + 0.30 x Au g/t + 0.76 x Pt g/t + 0.24 x Pd g/t based on expected metal prices and process recovery and refining charges. TPM (g/t) = Pt (g/t) + Pd (g/t) + Au (g/t)  *Cu Equivalent cut-off grade methodology approximates 0.4% Cu 7
8 Nokomis: A Diversified Basket of Commodities Potential Annual Production @ 40,000 tpd Total TPM Annual Production = 251,000 ozs *Reference: January 8, 2009 Scott Wilson RPA Preliminary  Assessment on the Nokomis Project, Minnesota, U.S.A. 8
9 Nokomis Property: Higher PGM Potential
10 Financial Leverage on World Metal Prices $3.2 Billion as of September 16-09 spot prices Three different economic cases are highlighted by Scott Wilson RPA: Low Metal Price Case of 1.55/lb Cu; $4.90/lb Ni; $10.00/lb Co; $795/oz Pt; $295/oz Pd; $600/oz Au;  Base Price Case of $1.75/lb Cu; $7.00/lb Ni; $10.00/lb Co; $1,100/oz Pt; $350/oz Pd; $600/oz Au;  and Market Price Case* as of January 13, 2008 of $3.31/lb Cu, $12.70/lb Ni, $47/lb Co, $1,559/oz Pt, $376/oz Pd, $895/oz Au:  (all monetary units are in $US) *Scott Wilson RPA used Market Prices on January 13, 2008 in the earlier NI 43-101 Report dated January 22, 2008.

A World Class Deposit 15 “Mineral deposits occur rarely in the Earth’s crust and large ones are especially uncommon”1 Nokomis is a World Class Deposit “World class deposits are defined as the upper 10 percent of deposits in terms of contained metal”2 1 ,2 Singer, D.A., (USGS Geologist), 1995, World-Class Base and Precious Metal Deposits – A Quantitative Analysis: Economic Geology, v. 90, p. 88-104.
Size Comparison of Camps/Deposits 16
17 Contained Metal: Duluth Deposits Nokomis is the largest and still growing NE                                                SW
18 Important to the United States Nokomis as a percent of the identified resources  (Measured, Indicated & Inferred) of the United States U.S. Geological Survey, 2008, Mineral commodity summaries 2009: U.S. Geological Survey, various pages. 18 October 8, 2009
Importance of the Nokomis Deposit 19 Based on reported data of contained metal, the Nokomis Deposit is the second largest Cu-Ni-PGE deposit on Earth, only Russia’s Noril’sk deposit is larger.
20 Non-ferrous Exploration Activity The Nokomis Deposit Part of an evolving mining district. Nokomis 449 Million  Tonnes Indicated 0.624% Cu, 0.199% Ni, 600 ppb Pt+Pd+Au 284 .2 Million Tonnes  Inferred 0.645% Cu, 0.180% Ni , 697 ppb  Pt+Pd+Au Reference: University of Minnesota Duluth see athttp://www.d.umn.edu/prc/workshops/08_InvWorkshop.html Duluth Metals resource estimates are NI 43-101 compliant, other deposits are as reported. 20 October 8, 2009
21 Strategic Land Additions Acquisition of additional mineral rights and/or surface rights including: •	Dunka Property Option •	State Lands (multiple properties) •	Other Private Lands (multiple    	properties) The new land acquisitions bring the current mineral holdings of Duluth Metals to approximately 18,500 acres and 14,000 acres of surface rights.
Exploration Summary 22 Exploration From 2006 to 2009 the Company operated the largest concerted drilling program ever undertaken in Minnesota to define the Nokomis Deposit. Duluth Metals completed a total of  155 vertical holes & 67 wedge holes,  totaling 153,425 meters (503,363 feet)  or 153.4 kilometers (95.3 miles). All holes drilled to target depth intercepted mineralization  in varying widths and grades  (all assay results available on SEDAR.com) Cumulative Meters Drilled
Advancement of the Nokomis Project  23 A year of accomplishments in a challenging economic climate: •	Expanded the size of Nokomis deposit   –  30% increase in Indicated Resources to 449 Million Tonnes  	 –  162% increase in Inferred Resources to 284 Million Tonnes •	Second NI 43-101 Preliminary Assessment of the Nokomis Project  –  Expanded 40,000 tonnes per day production rate scenario demonstrates 	     positive economics •	Delineated significant Eastern Area Higher Grade Zones  •	Increased strategic land assets •	Environmental baseline studies underway •	Commenced a third NI 43-101 Resource Estimate with Scott Wilson RPA

Nokomis Ore Deposit Model 27
28 Next Steps – 2009 and Beyond Major Activities: •	Geologic analysis – insight of the mineralization leads to enhanced understanding and discovery. •	Resource definition – identifyingcontiguous, large tonnage, higher grade zones is important. •	Mine planning – designing the optimal extraction system. •	Metallurgical testing – confirming the optimal recovery system. •	Environmental assessments – critical to the permittability and future development of the project. •	Project optimization – insuring the best operation and the most profitable economic scenario, within the operational constraints. 28
29 Timeline to Advance the Nokomis Deposit  Towards Production 2006 -2009 Exploration to define Nokomis Deposit 2007 ongoing Environmental Base Line Studies for EIS 2008 ongoing Collection of Drill Core for metallurgical tests Mine Planning and Engineering 2009 ongoing  Pre-Feasibility  and subsequent Bankable Feasibility Studies Project Optimization Environmental Review, EIS and Permitting
30 Environmental Good News ,[object Object]
Baseline studies are proceeding well and many are almost completed.
Nokomis will have reduced surface impact as an underground mine vs an open pit mine.
Reuse of the Dunkabrownfields site is considered positive.
Nokomis appears to be permittable within current  environmental standards.
PolyMet has helped define the process for permitting a nonferrous mine in Minnesota.
Duluth Metals continues to work with the State, Federal Government, local groups and other stakeholders to address all environmental questions and issues.,[object Object]

  • 16. A World Class Deposit 15 “Mineral deposits occur rarely in the Earth’s crust and large ones are especially uncommon”1 Nokomis is a World Class Deposit “World class deposits are defined as the upper 10 percent of deposits in terms of contained metal”2 1 ,2 Singer, D.A., (USGS Geologist), 1995, World-Class Base and Precious Metal Deposits – A Quantitative Analysis: Economic Geology, v. 90, p. 88-104.

  • 23. Exploration Summary 22 Exploration From 2006 to 2009 the Company operated the largest concerted drilling program ever undertaken in Minnesota to define the Nokomis Deposit. Duluth Metals completed a total of 155 vertical holes & 67 wedge holes, totaling 153,425 meters (503,363 feet) or 153.4 kilometers (95.3 miles). All holes drilled to target depth intercepted mineralization in varying widths and grades (all assay results available on SEDAR.com) Cumulative Meters Drilled
