The open pit ban – where are we now?

� In the shadow of an unresolved provincial ban on open pit mining . . .

� The level of uncertainty and ‘risk’ in Philippines mining has been of concern (in the eyes of Western-based investors)

� As foreign mining houses, governments and business chambers urge Philippine national government intervention

� For an issue that is seen domestically as ‘local politics’, yet contrary

� For an issue that is seen domestically as ‘local politics’, yet contrary to national law (Mining Act 1995)

� Presenting us with – a cultural difference of opinion that we (and the Philippine Government) believe WILL be resolved in a timely manner

� And we welcome the recent engagement of the Philippine Government in brokering a solution – we now have the government’s full attention via a mining policy review processFor

Where is Indophil going from here?

� Indophil has the funds to carry it beyond 2012 and onto

‘commitment to proceed’ (first production still scheduled for 2016)

� So we will maintain a direct and active interest in

development of Tampakan which is our flagship asset

In closing . . .

� Tampakan is world class – by any measure

� Indophil has 37.5% of Tampakan – a strategic stake

� Exposure to a large-scale, low-cost, near-production copper producer is rare

� Especially inside a small / mid-cap public company

22

� Indophil has forged powerful alliances in the Philippines

� But needs to de-risk on open pit ban and ‘commitment to proceed’ with development – and win other battles (eg: environmental approval)

� Value proposition: Indophil is worth more than its current rating

� Strategy: Harness alliances, make progress, target 2016 production

� And deliver a solid return on investment for Indophil shareholdersFor
