1. World Class Size Potential
 World class size and/or grade is a key product
differentiator in an over-crowded sector
 Established resource base with potential for
significant growth & value uplift through exploration
 Examples
• Gold, target 3 moz or greater, with preference for
higher grade and polymetallic systems
• Iron ore, target 500 MT – 1 billion tons+
depending on logistics and infrastructure
• Will consider lower tonnages on exceptional
‘direct ship’ ore
• Potash, target 500 MT minimum size potash
basins, e.g. Brazil and Ethiopia
11
Geological / Exploration Risk is Minimized
Investment Criteria
Case Study: Belo Sun
• The company acquired control in
2009 with resource of 2.1 moz
gold, but identified greater
exploration potential. Today the
deposit has a resource of 7.6
moz
• Focusing on expanding and
completing a feasibility study on
it’s 100% owned Volta Grande
Project in Para State, Brazil
• Increased property position from
195 sq. km to 1,305 sq km in

and growth are often in the emerging markets
 Develop and supplement strong local relationships
with our influential international advisory board

risky jurisdictions
 Work in concert with the local governments as a long
term partner

Case Study: Allana Potash

projects in Ethiopia and
Argentina
• Allana began with a historical
resource estimate 105 million
tonnes inferred
• Drilling results from a resource
estimate released in June 2011
increased total measured,
indicated and inferred resources
to 1.269 billion tonnes
• Working towards production in
late 2014
12
Investment Criteria
3. Compelling Valuation & Structure
 Target 5-10x upside from initial investment through to public
market exit over 3-5 years
 Projects often acquired at steep discounts due to technical
geopolitical or other risks
• F&M has the ability to overcome these issues and
exploit the asset through its operational edge
 Deals structured to optimize capital flows and reduce risk,
through joint venture and earn-in structures
 Partnerships are created that align interests, maximize cash
that is put into the ground and minimize upfront cash
payments to vendors
 Exit strategies are conceived on deal entry

base through acquisitions and
successful exploration in Burkina
