2 Positive Pre-Feasibility Studies
- Completed

• Bankable Feasibility Study Underway - due to be completed Q4 2011

• World Class Resource
   -Measured & Indicated 84 million tonnes @ 29.9% P2O5
   -
Inferred 44 million tonnes @ 29.6% P2O5


128 million tonnes at 29.8% P2O5 X phosphate price per ton $180. = $23,040,000,000 (+23 Billion dollars!!!)

Production license has been granted by the Government of Guinea Bissau.

25 year mining plan of 68 million tonnes at 29.9% P2O5 (2M tonnes of phosphate rock concentrate/year)

• Attractive economics - US$80 million EBITDA per year, based on US$100 per tonne phosphate rock (current prices closer to US$180/tonne).

• Additional lower zone phosphate layer - 450 million tonnes @ 10-15% P2O5 (geological resource).
 
• Potential to increase phosphate resources. Deposit open in three directions.


• Strong demand for end product - positive long term fundamentals for fertilizers.

• Good infrastructure components to support production and export to world markets.



PRODUCTION PARTICULARS

• Simple mining process - open cast mining using dredges - straight forward beneficiation to produce phosphate rock concentrate.
• Overburden average 39 meters, Stripping ratio 11.8:1. Soft clayey sand (no drilling and blasting)
• Use conventional truck and shovel overburden stripping for upper 7-10 meters
• Using stripping dredges to strip overburden to hanging wall of FPA phosphate layer
• Using production dredges for 3.3 meter thick FPA phosphate layer (produce slurry of very fine, liberated phosphate particles , 1 mm)
• Production rate per annum : 2,760,000 tonnes ROM phosphate ore grading 29.9% P2O5 Beneficiation (no crushing)
• Screening of +1 mm particles
• Sizing : remove minus 10 micron particles
• Magnetic separation to remove iron particles
• Slurry pipeline to port (80kms)
• Dry product at port to 8 -10 % moisture for shipping
• Production rate per annum - 2,160,000 tonnes at 8% moisture Recovery (based on BRGM and Champion test work)
• P2O5 recovery :79.6%
• Weight recovery : 72.5%
• Product : P2O5 phosphate rock concentrate grading 32.5% P2O5 and 3.5% Fe+Al content - Medium grade concentrate 70 BPL
• Production rate per annum: 2,000,000 dry tons.



PRODUCTION AGREEMENT

• Includes production license, mining lease and incentive agreement Ownership
