    17. CHINA FACTORS
      • China has dominated tungsten markets for the past 20 years, and currently supplies over 75% of world’s tungsten.
      • China has recently shifted from an exporter to a net importer with an increasing focus on producing downstream tungsten products.
      • China now prohibits tungsten exploration by foreign companies.
      • Tungsten prices have increased as China’s expansion and infrastructure build-out surpassed tungsten mine capacity.
      • Geodex has opportunity to position itself as a key supplier in world tungsten industry.
    18. CHINA FACTORS CON’T
      • 1991 - Tungsten listed as one of the ‘Protective Resources”
      • 2001 - Policy of Qualified Tungsten Exporter and Export Supplies
      • 2005 - Export rebate reduced from 13% to 8%
      • 2006 - Export rebate further reduced and cancelled
      • 2007 - Export duty introduced at 5%
      • 2008 - Export duty increased to 10%
      • 2009 - Export reduced to 5%

    28. Scoping Study May 2009¹
      ¹ This assessment is preliminary in nature and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized. The mineral resources discussed here are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
      Jack M. Marr, M. Sc. P. Geo., is the QP, responsible for the Sisson Brook project.
