3. Cautionary Note
Concerning Forward Looking Statements
Forward-Looking
These materials present an overview of Southern Andes
Energyโs projects in southern Peru. Readers are cautioned
that the projects are at an early stage and that all estimates
and information contained herein are based on limited and
incomplete data. Additional work is required before the
mineralization and the economic potential of the projects
can be confidently modelled. S Statements reflected in this
presentation may contain โforward-looking statementsโ
including managementโs assessments of future plans and
operations including expectations of future production and
capital expenditures. T
These statements regarding potential
mineralization and resources, estimated or potential future
production, potential ranking of properties and future
plans and objectives of the Company, are forward-looking
stat m nts t at involve various known an unknown risks,
statements that n o a o s no n and n no n s s
uncertainties and factors. Consequently, actual results may
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-
looking statements. While the work, results, estimates and
projections in the presentation may be considered indicative
of the nature and quality of the work undertaken, they are
not definitive. Readers are advised that undue reliance
TSX-V:SUR not be placed on forward-looking statements.

6. Post Japan โ Nuclear Showing Recovery
Uranium renaissance driven by strategic demand, rising prices
โข Despite Japanese nuclear crisis, spot price for U3O8 has rebounded to +$50
โข Nuclear build slowed but continues whilst uranium equities remain ignored
โข China committed to nuclear program. Program delayed only one year for additional safety checks
โข Currently 441 commercial nuclear reactors are in operation in 30 countries

๏ 58 units under construction worldwide representing ~60GWE of capacity
๏ 152 units and 337 units planned and proposed respectively
๏ Build out may be delayed โ but remains intact

7. Why Peru?
A stable, pro-mining jurisdiction with good infrastructure
โข Peru vastly underexplored for uranium
โข The country has not previously emphasized uranium deposits, but is receptive to the development
of these prospects
โข Potential for open pit deposits between 5-25 million lbs in size
โข Peru supporting export of uranium and is proceeding with preparation and adoption new nuclear
and uranium mining and processing guidelines
Excellent government support for uranium mining
