Forward Looking Information This presentation includes statements that are forward-looking. All statements in the presentation (other than statements of historical fact) that address future operations or plans of Plains Creek Phosphate Corp. (“Plains Creek” or the “Company”) or their affiliates, proposed acquisitions, development and commissioning of mines, long term corporate goals, estimated development costs or operating costs, marketing plans or anticipated customers, mine reserves or resources, expansion of production, demand for product, and the future of the mining industry in general and the mining industry in Guinea-Bissau in particular are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, market prices for phosphate, general economic, market and business conditions, risks and uncertainties related to Plains Creek’s abilities to complete its acquisition of the remaining interests in phosphate properties in Guinea-Bissau, to successfully develop and commission mines at the property, to obtain all necessary permits for development and production as and when required, estimation or resources and reserves, estimation of demand for the product, development and production costs, transportation delays and costs, ability to convert expressions of interest from potential customers into definitive sales agreements, delays in construction of the mining operation, accidents, equipment breakdowns, title matters, labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in development or production, phosphate price fluctuations, failure to obtain adequate financing when needed, exchange rate fluctuations, and risks and uncertainties associated with doing business in Guinea-Bissau. Although Plains Creek has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that statements containing forward looking information will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on statements containing forward looking information. There may be information in this presentation that is information about prospective results of operations, financial position or cash flows (a “financial outlook”). This financial outlook is provided only to assist in an evaluation of the prospective business outlined in this presentation, but are not to be relied upon as accurate representations of future results and may not be appropriate for any other purpose. Furthermore, because this financial outlook is based upon estimates and hypothetical assumptions about circumstances and events that have not yet taken place and are subject to variation, there are no representations or warranties associated therewith, and there can be no assurance that the outlook will be attained. Readers are cautioned that no forward looking statement or financial outlook is a guarantee of future performance. Plains Creek and RHC assumed no obligation to update these forward-looking statements or financial outlook except as may be required by law.

Not an Offering of Securities This presentation is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy the securities of Plains Creek or any other securities. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured and Indicated Resources This presentation uses the terms “Measured” and “Indicated” Resources. U.S. investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. Technical Report The Company’s current technical report (the “Technical Report”) was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) for its principal and sole mineral property known as the Farim Phosphate Project in Guinea-Bissau and is entitled “Technical Report on the Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Farim Phosphate Project in Guinea-Bissau”, dated effective February 10, 2011 and filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on February 22, 2011 which was prepared for the Company by John S. Warwick, BSc (Hons) PIMMM, C.Eng., Eur.Ing. (Mining) and Andre Lambert, BSc, MIMMM, EurGeolg of IMC Group Consulting Ltd. and Alex Mitchell, MIMMM, C.Eng. and Michael Short, FIMMM, C.Eng. Of GBM Minerals Engineering Consultants Limited. All authors of the Technical Report are independent Qualified Persons as defined under NI 43-101. All references herein to resources of the Farim Phosphate Project are supported by the Technical Report and the reader is directed to the Technical Report for further detail. EBITDA References in this presentation to “EBITDA” are to inferences from the Technical Report. Such EBITDA consists of the gross sales of production less operating costs before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Management of Plains Creek believes that, in addition to net earnings, EBITDA is a useful complimentary measure of cash available prior to debt service, capital expenditures and income taxes. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measure under Canadian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP. Readers are cautioned that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings determined in accordance with Canadian GAAP as an indicator of performance, or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity and cash flows. Plains Creek’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other entities and, accordingly, its EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

• Comprehensive geological data base (assembled during 1981-2009) including 146 drill holes (BRGM, Champion, GB Minerals AG)

• Twenty five year mining plan from NI 43-101 PEA calculated at 68 Mt grading 29.9% P2O5 with average phosphate ore body thickness of 3.3 meters. Average strip ratio 11.8:1

• Potential for a significant increase in resources to the North West and South of the main area (not yet drilled), as well as by increasing stripping ratio to 20:1 (upper A layer) and the exploitation of the lower grade B layer (grading 10-15% P2O5). The A layer is referred to as FPA (Farim Phosphate A grade) and the B layer as FPB

• Fully licensed via Production Agreement (2009) with Guinea-Bissau Government on favorable terms, including 100% ownership, 10 year tax holiday and 2% production royalty

• Straight forward mining operations by removal of (average) 39 meters of unconsolidated overburden to get to phosphate ore, potential for production of a phosphate slurry for the processing plant

• Potential for simple and efficient beneficiation process

• 80 km distance by slurry pipeline to coast

• Currently undertaking Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) – expected completion H1 2012

• Mining agreement provides for relocation of local villagers and the Company is currently conducting a ESIA as part of its BFS

• Phosphate discovered during oil exploration in the early 1950’s

• During 1980’s French mining agency (BRGM) carried core drilling program (+100 drill holes). Metallurgical test work produced phosphate rock concentrate grading 36.5% P2O5. In 1986, Sofremines completed a prefeasibility study but did not go ahead because of prevailing phosphate market conditions

• From 1996 to 2003 Champion Resources conducted successive stages of feasibility work including drilling 34 drill holes. Confirmed BRGM results and developed a mining plan. Phosphate market conditions and the political situation in Guinea-Bissau prevented project going ahead

• 2004 to 2009. GB Minerals AG, a Swiss company acquired exploration license and mining lease. Carried out successive validation studies, excavated a box cut, drilled 30+ drill holes. Developed a mining plan on a resource grading 31.5% P2O5

• In May 2009 GB Minerals AG signed a comprehensive production agreement with Guinea-Bissau Government

• In 2010, Plains Creek completed a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate of 69 Mt Measured at a grade of 29.9% P2O5, 15 Mt Indicated Resources at a grade of 30.1% P2O5 and Inferred Resources of 44 Mt at a grade of 29.6% P2O5
