Nickel Market continued

� Nickel is expected to trade at an average price of $25,000 per tonne in 2012 compared with a previous forecast of $24,250 per tonne(1).

� Nickel demand is forecast to rise by 5% per annum from 2010 to 2015 driven by ongoing growth in demand for stainless

to 2015 driven by ongoing growth in demand for stainless steel over the same period(2).

� Growth will be driven by demand mainly from Asia.

Market Drivers for Toledo Nickel Mine Plan

� Market changes in 2006 – China began to use nickel ore for the production of nickel pig iron (NPI) in blast furnaces.

� Use of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) for ferronickel production using high grade ores was much more competitive ores was much more competitive compared to NPI production in blast furnaces.

� Early 2011 – significant numbers of EAF plants established in China dramatically increasing demand for high grade ore.

� Mine Plan formulated to meet current market demand.

10

Berong

� Toledo has a 56.1% economic interest in Berong Nickel Corporation (BNC), mine located on Palawan Island, Philippines.

� JORC resource: 9.13 million tonnes @ 1.55% Ni using 1% cut-off grade.

� Operations at BNC recommenced in May 2011 - facilitated by the Operations at BNC recommenced in May 2011 - facilitated by the sale of the existing stockpile of 150,000 wet metric tons (‘wmt”) low grade ore.

� 2 shipments completed for 103,530 wmt; final shipment being loaded

� Targeted production of 450,000 wmt of 1.8% nickel by year end.

� To date, BNC has produced 229,155 wmt 1.8% nickel ore.

11

Berong continued

� First shipment of high grade 1.8% nickel ore successfully shipped generating approximately US$3.5 million.

� Currently taking advantage of high spot prices. Long term contracts are intended.

� Targeted 2 to 3 further shipments of 200,000 wmt of 1.8% nickel � Targeted 2 to 3 further shipments of 200,000 wmt of 1.8% nickel ore during this season’s shipping window, which closes at the end of October.

� More saprolite ore found at depth during mining which has benefited mining costs.

12

Berong - future production

� Targeted production of 750,000 wmt 1.8% nickel per year from 2012.

� 9 year life of mine at present production rates.

� For every tonne of high grade ore produced, approx. two tonnes of low grade ore averaging 1.3% is produced alongside. The lower grade ore will either be sold or used for future value added processing operations.

� BNC has engaged an engineering � BNC has engaged an engineering

company to evaluate the constraints of

the shipping window with a view to

increasing the shipping period =

increased capacity to 1 million wmt

per year.

13

Berong – future production continued

� Cashflow generated will be used to carry out value add studies to find the most suitable process for our ore in the present changeable market conditions.

� Past works undertaken by SNC-Lavallin confirm that Berong’s ore is amenable to all available leaching technologies.

� A number of comprehensive bankable feasibility studies were carried out during the 1970’s before the oil crisis – these included feasibility studies of Ammonia Leaching plant (caron process) by Freeport Minerals Company and ferronickel smelting in collaboration with Pacific Metals Co. Ltd.

� Expect to determine a value add strategy by mid 2012.

14

Ipilan

� Mining Project Feasibility Study carried out in August 2010.

� All necessary documents submitted to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau for review and approval in November 2010.

� To date, clearance of the all important Strategic Environmental Plan (SEP) has been received from the Palawan Council for Sustainable (SEP) has been received from the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD). Awaiting final clearance for full permitting to be granted.

� MacroAsia recently signed an agreement with Jinchuan Group of China and Tranzem to develop their Infanta project which borders Ipilan. The signing was witnessed by Philippine President, Benigno S. Aquino which offers encouragement for the future development of Ipilan.

15

Exploration

Moorsom

� Exploration programme commenced at Moorsom in early 2010.

� Nickel grade is lower than expected hence further work is required to determine if any part of this huge resource has potential for commercial development.

Long PointLong Point

� Long Point lies just 20km to the north east of the Berong Mine and is believed to offer significant exploration potential.

� Currently, this area lies within an Environmental Critical Area Network (ECAN). Toledo remains hopeful that with the support of the local council, the ECAN map will be redrawn and permission to explore can be granted.

16

Financials

� Sale of approx. 150,000wmt stockpiled ore.

� Settlement of Atlas loan: total repayment of US$4.5 million to be received by end September 2011.

� Price of US$ 65/wmt is US$10-20 higher than BNC has been offered recently for longer term 1 to 2 year supply contracts.

17

Looking Ahead

� Shipments to continue from Berong.

� Production increasing from 450,000 wmt of 1.8% Ni in 2011 to 750,00 wmt per annum thereafter.

� Longer term supply contracts are sought but currently benefiting from high spot prices in the market.high spot prices in the market.

� Construction at Ipilan to commence early 2012 pending final approval of permits.

� Accelerated value-added processing plans – determination of a strategy expected mid 2012.
