New phosphate project - Georgina
Kalman South Project - Highlights
Recent drilling down plunge returned massive chalcopyrite intercept of 7.65 metres at 23.4% Cu and 0.51g/t Au in K106A
Project progressing rapidly towards Feasibility Study
Kings Minerals NL (“Kings”) holds 51% & can earn up to 70% by completing final feasibility study
Maiden Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for Kalman announced by Kings in late December 2007
Updated resource estimate incorporating rhenium announced in September 2008
Syndicated’s tenement contains southern part of deposit (approximately 60% of tonnes, 67% of molybdenum and 74% of rhenium in current resource)
Deposit open at depth with potential for along strike and down-plunge extensions

Kalman South Project - Activity
Next phase of project development:
Resource definition (Infill) drilling with RC and diamond drilling to 50m x 50m nominal hole spacing being planned.
Ongoing pre-development studies including preliminary flotation testing and initiation of environmental baseline study.
Potential along strike to south
Drill testing of new copper-gold+/-molybdenum zones found in reconnaissance exploration along mineralized shear system extending several km south of Kalman within EPM 13870

Molybdenum – Uses and Demand
Molybdenum Uses
Molybdenum is a key element used in alloys and stainless steel to enhance:
• Strength
• Corrosion resistance
• Hardenability
Molybdenum Consumption by Application
Molybdenum Demand and Price
Prices have risen strongly due to increased demand (particularly from China) and supply reduction from major producers
China’s stainless steel production increased by 68% in 2006 (Molybdenum is an input into stainless steel)
World demand expected to increase at rate of 5% pa until 2010 ^

Kalman South – Rhenium Potential
A program of re-assaying for rhenium throughout the molybdenum domain of the Kalman deposit completedResults incorporated into new resource estimate.Strong correlation between molybdenum and rheniumKings reported that rhenium grades at Kalman are high by world standards Rhenium price currently around $10 - $12/gm

Refer to ASX release by Kings Minerals NL (ASX:KMN) dated March 4th 2008 for details of Rhenium assay results
Rhenium UsesRhenium is commonly obtained as a by-product of molybdenum refining Used in production of super-alloys used to make jet engine parts
Mount Remarkable Project

Phosphate Projects
Syndicated holds a 100% interest in several tenements with potential for phosphate:
Exmouth (WA)- 670 square kilometres
Dandaragan (WA) – 360 square kilometres
Georgina Basin (QLD) – 670 square kilometres
Exmouth and Dandaragan: targeting Cretaceous phosphatic sands deposits with potential for low-cost mining and treatment
Georgina basin tenements: targeting rock phosphate deposits similar to the Phosphate Hill and Lady Annie deposits
Exmouth Project
Early stage exploration project 1,000km north of Perth & 50km east of Coral Bay
Rights to 100% interest in 3 granted EL’s covering 480km2 . Applied for 1 new EL covering 189 km2 at southern end of project
Evaluation of phosphate potential underway. Previous drilling by CRA located phosphate nodules
Of 13 CRA aircore holes drilled within Syndicated’s tenements five returned values with between 25% and 27% P2O5 from the +5mm fraction
Base metal, silver and uranium potential also to be examined
First sampling program completed
Forward Program
Kalman South – (Mo-Cu-Au-Re)
Pre-development studies ongoing. Further infill drilling plus metallurgical and scoping studies being undertaken by JV partner
Mount Remarkable – (Cu-Au, Pb-Zn-Ag & U)
Resource estimate anticipated for Barbara copper prospect by end of 2008
Drilling of copper-gold targets (Referee & Barbara Extensions) + zinc targets (Henry’s Hut) planned
Exmouth – (Zn-Ag, U & Phosphate)
Field sampling programs commenced for phosphate and base metals
Dandaragan & Georgina Basin Phosphate Applications
Compilation of historical data underway
Mt Hutchinson gossan
Summary
Syndicated has:Multi-commodity exposure – copper, gold, molybdenum, rhenium in resources and lead, zinc, uranium, phosphate targetsRobust outlook for Syndicated’s commoditiesExperienced management teamSubstantial ground position in Mount Isa District
Major asset (Kalman South deposit) fully funded to completion of final feasibilityOre grade copper intersected at 100%-owned Syndicated target with short term production potential.Sufficient cash to test our 100% targets
