Why invest in Tungsten?
30% price increase
Moly has been over $40/lb APT has been to US$600 mtu in 2010 terms
Supply Tightening with changes in China•Traditionally produced 80% of the world’s tungsten products.
•Strategic metal under quota.•Buying on the open market forcing prices up.
•Taxing export and wages rising•Buying projects and refineries

Woulfe’s Advantage in Market
• China, becoming net importer and Woulfe has a strategic position, price rising.
• Woulfe is the most feasible project our only large competitor of similar size is North American Tungsten in the ice
with high build cost
• Large skarn deposits are more economic than vein deposits.
• Short development cycle due to extensive existing infrastructure ( mine development ,roads, water, power and
established mine town.
• Known mineralization, mine-ability and metallurgy
• Woulfe has a Mine Development License and has reopened the mine.

Muguk Gold Project
What makes this an exciting project?
• Life-of-mine head grade 11 g/t producing 250 t of gold at a cut off of 10g/t leaving sub 10 g/t in situ
• Historical target below 400 m in developed mine and open down dip.
• Large goldfield over 2 km strike with 9 veins.
• Over 1,000 historic face grades were sampled in 1994 at better than an ounce.
• Current mine plans have been located and are being modeled.
• Recent drilling located the No 7 Vein, substantiating the old data at grades consistent with what was expected. Historical grades vary from zero to 384 g/t.
o Sample 1327 414.3m to 415.3m-3.3 g/t gold, 14 g/t silvero Sample 1328 415.3m to 416.3m-7.8g/t gold , 38g/t silver
Korea’s largest historical gold deposit. In 1994 KORES calculated a historical non NI 43-101 compliant *620,000 oz at a gold grade of 13.5 g/t and 3.3 Moz at a silver grade 78.6 g/t. (historical resource non compliant JORC and NI43-101)
*non NI43-101 compliant and cannot be relied on
