Overview

• Mineral exploration and development company which has completed a $0.25 IPO and TSX

Venture Exchange listing

• Holds option for the past-producing Covas Tungsten/Gold project in Portugal

• Tungsten prices have doubled in past year, currently ~$400/MTU ($40/kg)

* Not NI43-101 compliant

Blackheath Resources is focussed on the acquisition and development of strategic

tungsten projects in Portugal. Management has unique expertise in the Portuguese

tungsten sector, developed through its involvement with Primary Metals Inc., which held

the Panasqueira tungsten mine and was bought out in 2007. Blackheath’s first acquisition

is the past-producing Covas Tungsten/Gold project which will be advanced through

exploration and development.

Highlights include:

• Covas also has potential for multi-million tonne new Tungsten deposit plus Gold

• New Tungsten & Gold targets are ready for drilling immediately

• Additional projects will be assessed for possible acquisition

• Covas has current historical resources* of 923,000 tonnes @ 0.78% WO3 or 7.8 kg per tonne

(gross value ~$312 per tonne) and is open for expansion

• Infrastructure - roads, power and water available

• Simple option - Blackheath earns 85% in JV from Avrupa Minerals

• First 51% earned by exploration expenditures of €300,000 then 70% earned for €1 million total

Covas Production History and Resources

• Past underground and open pit production of 366,000 tonnes at

0.61% WO3 between 1951 and 1974

• Exploration and drilling by Union Carbide and others 1974 to 1980

* Not NI43-101 compliant

• Historical resources* of 923,000 tonnes at 0.78% WO3 containing

720,000 MTU (7.2 million kg) – current gross value ~$288 million

• Open for expansion - recent exploration identified new Tungsten

anomalies coincident with geophysical anomalies

• Considerable additional potential for new multi-million tonne Tungsten

deposits within the central unexplored “Covas Dome” – also previously

unrecognized Gold potential

• Several attractive drill targets must be tested

Covas – RIRGS? A model proposed for Covas is a Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System (“RIRGS”) such as Dublin

Gulch (+5M oz Au) and Fort Knox (+5M oz Au) conducive for Gold and Tungsten

These systems have been identified around the world, from the Tintina Gold Province in the Yukon

and Alaska, through China, Russia and Europe to Spain and Portugal

Covas Geology and Known Deposits

• Union Carbide tested only portions of the

“Skarn Ring” and identified eight Tungsten

deposits averaging 0.78% WO3

• There is significant potential for new

Tungsten discoveries as well as extensions

to known resources in the “Skarn Ring”

• Additional possibilities for multi-million tonne

discoveries within the “Covas Dome”

- Tungsten porphyry deposit

- Large, low-grade Gold deposits

Covas Gold & Tungsten Anomalies

The “Covas Dome”, within the “Skarn Ring”, was essentially ignored until 2011

Geochemical soil survey identified new Tungsten and Gold soil anomalies

Rock sampling (up to 10.2 g/t Au) indicates a new Gold zone requiring testing

Covas Magnetic Anomalies Ground magnetic grid data has demonstrated the potential for untested Tungsten

deposits in the “Skarn Ring” and also in the “Covas Dome”

New, untested magnetic anomalies are shown as white circles
