Morrison HistoryMorrison History

• The Morrison was discovered by Noranda Exploration in 1962

• Noranda drilled 95 holes totaling 13,893m from 1963 to 1973

• Noranda published two resource estimates for the Morrison

• The first in 1976 was 86 million tonnes grading 0.42% copper

• The second in 1992 was an inferred resource of 190 million tonnes of 0.41% copper and 0.21 g/t gold



Drill ProgramDrill Program

Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. commenced with a 43-101 compliant drill program in January 1998 to establish grade and continuity of copper values and gold grades. PBM drilled 177 holes totaling 31,872.83m for:– Resource Estimation– Metallurgical Test-work– Geotechnical Engineering– Geochemical– Condemnation– Water Monitoring

Resource EstimateResource Estimate



• Metallurgy is straightforward and good recoveries and acceptable concentrates can be achieved

• Metallurgical recoveries would be very similar to former nearby Bell Mine.

• Metallurgical Test-work results:

– IME Inc. - 88.4% copper, 63.0% gold

– PRA Ltd. - 85.7% copper, 59.7% gold

– SGS Canada - 84.0% copper, 59.0% gold, 50.0% Molybdenum; 26.5% concentrate grade

MetallurgyMetallurgy



• The treatment process will be a conventional crushing, grinding and flotation system

• High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) will be utilized to reduce Power and Consumables costs

• Production of approximately 135,000 to 160,000 tonnes of concentrate per year containing copper, gold and molybdenum

ProcessingProcessing



HPGRHPGR



• Development of the open pit is planned as a four-phase mining operation utilizing conventional truck and shovel equipment

• Mining methods will incorporate drilling, blasting, loading and haulage

• Planned production rate is 30,000 t/d ore

Mine PlanMine Plan



The total mineable reserve included in the measured and indicated resource, classified as proven and probable, at Net Smelter Return (NSR) cut-off-value of $CDN5.60/t, is 224.25Mt with an average grade of 0.330% Cu, 0.163g/t Au and 0.004% Mo.

Feasibility Study ResultsFeasibility Study Results



Note: Silver was not included in the financial analysis; however, there is an opportunity for improved economic performance if silver credits are received from the treatment and refining of the copper concentrate. Metallurgical test-work to date has reported silver present in the concentrate ranging from 65.3g/t to 100g/t.

Feasibility Study ResultsFeasibility Study Results



The Project has the advantage of existing regional infrastructure in place to service the region:– Road network– Nearby electrical power 25 km from the Project

site– Full service town (Granisle) within daily

commuting distance from the Project site – Deep-sea shipping terminal at the Port of

Stewart

Pre- ProductionPre- Production

During the review and in anticipation of issuance of an Environmental Assessment Certificate, PBM intends to:

• Finalize our contracting strategy for Pre-production;• Tender Pre-Production Contracts (EPCM or EPC)• Procurement including ordering long lead time items

(i.e. HPGR, Ball Mills, etc); • Detailed Engineering and Design; and• Site Engineering Survey



Upon issuance of an Environmental Assessment Certificate and Federal authorizations, the Company may proceed with construction commencing September 2013:

• Construction of new 25 km 138kV overhead power line from the existing former Bell mine site to the proposed Morrison Mine Site substation;

• Clearing of timber from the tailings storage facility, plant site, waste storage dump, on-site road corridors, on-site pipeline and power line corridors; and

• On-site road construction between existing Forest Service Road and proposed Plant Site

• Process Plant, etc.

Pre- ProductionPre- Production



• Reduced operating costs– Reagents, diesel, road transportation, ocean freight,

maintenance supplies, treatment and refining charges• Reduced Capital Costs

– Costs obtained at peak of price cycle• Lower strip ratio (ie better ore grades)• Pilot Plant Tests – improve recoveries• Revenue from Silver• LNG (financial and environmental benefit)• Revised closure plan (ie eliminate progressive closure,

deferred water discharge until pit full, optimized water handling and treatment, metal recovery from water prior to discharge

• Accelerated MLARD
