based on certain assumptions and reflect the expectations of Anglo Pacific Group PLC (the “Company”) and
views of future events. Forward-looking statements (which include the phrase “forward-looking information”
within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation) are provided for the purposes of assisting the reader in
understanding the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at and for the periods ended on
certain dates, and to present information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the
future. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for other purposes
than outlined in this presentation. These statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding the
operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, cash flow, requirement for and terms of
additional financing, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, objectives, strategies,
growth and outlook of the Company including the outlook for the markets and economies in which the Company
operates, costs and timing of acquiring new royalties, mineral reserve and resources estimates, estimates of
future production, production costs and revenue, future demand for and prices of precious and base metals and
other commodities, for the current fiscal year and subsequent periods. In addition, statements relating to
“reserves” or “resources” are forward looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain
estimates and assumptions, that the resources and reserves described can be profitably produced in the future.
Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future
events or conditions, or include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, “seeks”,
“intends”, “targets”, “projects”, “forecasts”, or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or
conditional verbs such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “would” and “could”. Forward-looking statements are based
upon certain material factors that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection,
including assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical
trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that are believed to be
appropriate in the circumstances. The material factors and assumptions upon which such forward-looking
statements are based include: the general economy is stable; local governments are stable; interest rates are
relatively stable; equity and debt markets continue to provide access to capital; the ongoing operations of the
properties underlying the Company’s portfolio of royalties by the owners or operators of such properties in a
manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of reserve and resource estimates, grades, mine life and
cash cost estimates; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such
underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the
Company’s portfolio of royalties and investment interests; no adverse development in respect of any significant
property in which the Company holds a royalty or other interest; the successful completion of new development
projects; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are
not yet in production; planned expansions or other projects within the timelines anticipated and at anticipated
production levels; and title to mineral properties.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, estimated or intended
in the forward-looking statements.
By its nature, this information is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific and
which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove
to be accurate; that assumptions may not be correct and that objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be
achieved. A variety of material factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, affect the operations,
performance and results of the Company, its businesses and investments, and could cause actual results to
differ materially from those suggested any forward-looking information. For additional information with respect to
such risks and uncertainties, please refer to the ‘Risk Factors’ section of our most recent Annual Information
Form available on www.sedar.com and the Group’s website www.anglopacificgroup.com, and also to the
‘Principal risks and uncertainties’ section of our most recent Annual Report, which is also available on our
website. If any such risks actually occur, they could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial
condition or results of operations. The reader is cautioned to consider these and other factors, uncertainties and
potential events carefully and not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.This presentation also
contains forward-looking information contained and derived from publicly available information regarding
properties and mining operations owned by third parties. The Company’s management relies upon this forward-
looking information in its estimates, projections, plans, and analysis.
Although the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based upon what the Company
believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this presentation relate only to events or
information as of the date on which the statements are made and, except as specifically required by law, the
Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

reminded that past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.

Bringing a diversified commodity royalty portfolio into the mainstream
» Within the metals & mining universe, coal, iron ore and copper
accounted for 50%, 19% and 9% of global production (by value)
respectively vs. 9% for gold (1)
» Bulks and base metals projects are capital intensive and under
significant cash constraints due to:
» Commodity price softening
» Efforts to de-leverage balance sheets
» Capex and cost overruns
» Royalties and streaming account for a small proportion of overall mining
investment: 1.1% in 2012 (2)
» “First mover” advantage gives Anglo Pacific the potential to pursue
attractive assets and acquire secondary royalties
» In addition, Anglo Pacific is currently evaluating oil and gas royalties as
well as mining infrastructure royalty opportunities

Anglo Pacific Group PLC
Strategy for growth: Sourcing new royalties
» Alternative forms of financing are increasingly popular vs. equity fundraisings in the current cash
constrained commodity sector
» Anglo Pacific aims to provide the “last dollar” required for companies to achieve economic production
» Providing an alternative form of capital to assist with the financing of asset purchases
» Providing capital to refinance onerous debt obligations
Financing
for growth
» Natural resource assets often have existing royalties held by the original founding shareholders who
require liquidity solutions (e.g. the Maracás royalty acquisition)
» Opportunity to acquire existing royalties at attractive prices
Providing
liquidity
» Disposal for cash of existing royalties held by large miners often preferred in order to enhance the stock
market rating of the company
Monetising hidden

The company is actively progressing a number of prospective royalty deals

Anglo Pacific Group PLC
Anglo Pacific’s approach to royalty acquisitions
Commodity: » Focused on bulk materials, base metals and energy
» Opportunistically consider other commodities, as well as royalties on ports and rail infrastructure
Asset specific
considerations:
» Management’s operating track record
» Profit margin & position on the industry cost curve
» Counterparty risk
» Jurisdictional risk
» Compliance with the Group’s corporate social responsibility policy
Valuation
considerations:
» Detailed due diligence on mine production profile
» Site visits by technical team and independent technical advisors
» Production assumptions based on existing mineable reserves, resources conversion assumptions evaluated on
case by case basis
» Consider other factors such as geology, infrastructure, and permitting which could impact production volumes
or mine life
Disciplined approach to investments
