“Discovery of Major Copper Mineralised Systems currentlybeing Drill Tested”

Investor Presentation ‐ August 2010

Page 2: Coppermoly Presentation August 2010...Investor Presentation ‐August 2010 • Barrick currently spending up to A$20m on drilling to attain a 72% stake of Coppermoly’s three tenements

• Barrick currently spending up to A$20m on drilling to attain a 72% stake of Coppermoly’s three tenements at Nakru, Simuku and Talelumas.

• Major Copper Mineralised System Demonstrated with drill hole intersection of 213.75m grading 0.92% copper and 0.33 g/t gold at the Nakru‐1 breccia system.

• Drilling underway at the adjacent Nakru‐2 system.

• Drilling underway at the Simuku system to test for additional tonnage potential from the Inferred Mineral Resource of 200 million tonnes at 0.47% copper equivalent*.

• Projects are located close to major infrastructure including roads, deep water port, airport and general amenities.

• Coppermoly have two tenement applications with copper and gold prospects on New Britain Island covering 1500 square kilometers.

Notes:

• All stated intersections are weighted assay averages ([Sum of each total interval x grade] / Total length of intersection).

• Drillhole samples from drillholes were transported to the camp site, logged, orientated and sampled between 1m and 2m intervals from core split by saw. The split samples are then transported to the town of Kimbe where they are air freighted to Intertek in Lae (PNG) for sample preparation. Samples are dried to 106 degrees C and crushed to < 2 mm. Samples greater than 2kg are rifle split down to 1.5kg and pulverised to 75 microns. The final 300g sized pulp samples are then sent to Intertek laboratories in Jakarta for geochemical analysis. Intertek analyse for gold using a 50g Fire Assay with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy finish. Other elements are assayed with ICPAES Finish. Copper values greater than 0.5% are re-assayed. Intertek laboratories have an ISO 17025 accreditation. Unused half core is stored on site before being transported to the town of Kimbe for permanent storage.

• Drillhole BWNBDD0001 Drill Core is PQ, HQ and NQ in size with core recovery predominantly 100%.

• Drillhole co-ordinates are given in UTM Zone 56, AGD66 Datum.

• Mineralised intersections are quoted as downhole widths.
