Project History
• 1967: Utah discovers Island Copper deposit
• 1968 to 1988: Utah acquires large package in area and discovers Hushamu deposit
• 1988: Moraga options properties from BHP / Utah
• 1988 to 2002:Moraga and Jordex carry out drilling and engineering studies of Hushamu
• 2002: Lumina buys Moraga from Jordex
• 2006: Lumina sells Moraga to Western Copper as part of larger asset purchase
– Hushamu property valued at approximately $ 12million.
• 2006- 2007: Western explores the NW Expo area, little work on Hushamu
• 2008 to 2009: IMA options property: further explores NW Expo area
• 2011: Western creates new company “Northisle” to explore and move project forward

Newly Identified IP Chargeability Anomalies
IP anomaly extends for 2km north west of deposit – untested by drilling
Two additional IP anomalies located in NW Expo area – one area un tested by drilling
Anomalies May Indicate Additional Areas of Porphyry Copper Mineralization
TSXV: NCX 16
Additional Targets
- NW Expo Area - Mo and Au mineralization demonstrated in drill holes over 600 metres strike - Two new IP chargeability anomalies may indicate new areas of porphyry
copper mineralization.
- Hep Showing - Copper soil anomaly not fully evaluated
- South MacIntosh - Broad area of alteration partially drill tested
- Pemberton Hills - High level alteration may indicate porphyry deposit at depth
- Rupert - Magnetic anomaly and two untested IP chargeability anomalies.
TSXV: NCX 17
2012 - 2013 Exploration Programs
- Complete an IP Survey over untested areas (Completed)
- Determine Rhenium and Molybdenum content of Hushamu by
resampling the core (Completed)
- Define limits of Hushamu deposit by drilling (Drilling Completed)
- Begin background environmental baseline studies (Started Sept 2011)
- Update the Hushamu resource calculation with 2012 drilling
(Completed)
- Preliminary Engineering studies (Underway)
TSXV: NCX 18
Business Plan
Increase company value through measured and systematic de-risking of the deposit Short term (next 4 months)
- Complete PEA
Mid term (Q2 2013 to 2014)
- Move Inferred Mineralization to Indicated and Measured
