Conclusion

Hillside - Robust project with good margins at low copper prices

- Leveraged to high copper prices

Regional - Potential for new discoveries with multiple large scale targets

defined underneath a hidden (but shallow) landscape.

Strategic Significance – Large scale resources located close to

infrastructure are very rare. Rex has 100% ownership of this unique

asset.

Well Funded - $56M to take the Hillside Project through to a full-feasibility

study and reveal large scale regional potential on the Pine Point Copper

Belt.
