SOUTHERN HYDOMETALLURGICAL COMPLEXStudies indicate significant capital & operating cost reductions & accelerated construction schedule from relocating downstream hydrometallurgical process plant to southern CanadaFlotation concentrates from NICO transported by truck & / or rail to southShort list of sites in Alberta, Saskatchewan & Manitoba with access to CN Rail, business friendly communities, proximity to reagent sources & access to skilled labour poolSavings ~C$ 30 million CAPEX & ~C$ 10 million annual OPEX anticipated from:

Reduction in materials transport, labour & construction costsReduction in imported skilled labour at NICO site – reduces camp costsReduction of site power requirements from 17MW to 10MWReduction in power costs by up to 17 cents / kWh at southern facilityConcentrate transportation costs partially offset by reagent transportationEnvironmental impacts at NICO site reduced – speeds permitting & lowers bonding costs

Planned purchase of southern hydrometallurgical complex site Q2 / Q3 - 2009
