10 year foundation for growth
March 2015
Minotaur Exploration Limited | ASX: MEP

Minotaur’s growth strategy stays the course…
§  Minotaur has 10 years of experience as an ASX listed company
‒  and 20 years experience as an exploration group
§  Our strategy for continued growth is underpinned by our focus on copper, gold and nickel
‒  and our ambition to progress exploration success into viable mining operations
Conversion of copper, gold and nickel exploration assets into mineable deposits
Nickel-Gold (WA)
Leinster
Scotia
Copper-Gold
Eloise JV
JOGMEC JV
Copper-Gold
GRV deep targeting

…focusing on the right commodities…
§  Australian projects benefit from a lower Australian dollar as commodity prices rise
Copper, gold and nickel have strong mid-term commodity fundamentals

Adjusted EV
...though little value currently ascribed to our business
§  By subtracting the market valuation of Minotaur’s listed investments and the book value of Minotaur’s non-core assets, the
current market implied Enterprise Valuation (EV) for Minotaur’s core copper-gold and nickel assets is only A$1.9m
§  Minotaur’s track record of realising above book value for non-core assets is instructive (for example, sale of Roxby Downs
tenements to BHP Billiton (FY2012) realised A$9.5m cash compared to A$1.0m book value)
Exploration is presently considered unfashionable by many sophisticated investors

2  Gypsum sale value: cash payments agreed to be made upon completion of conditions precedent as per Minotaur announcement on 20-Oct-14

Minotaur will stay the course
§  In mid 2014 Minotaur’s share price out performed
§  Since late August, despite a record of acute operational
and corporate success, the price benet has entirely
eroded
§  Achievements since August 2014 include:
ü  Sep – successful EM conrms Artemis down-dip extension; body
projected to 235m depth
ü  Oct – agreed sale of Gypsum project (A$4.8m)
ü  Oct – funding certainty achieved with successful A$3m SPP plus A
$1m placement
ü  Dec – continued Artemis drill success; 20m @ 2.7% Cu, 12.3g/t Au,
5.3% Zn, 2.3% Pb, 170g/t Ag from 154m
ü  Jan – down plunge extended at Artemis — 19.9m @ 1.4% Cu, 0.8g/t
Au, 1.8% Zn from 225m
§  Drilling at Artemis yet to test down-plunge repetitions of
massive sulphide mineralisation
Even though the share price declined in the face of positive news ow from the Artemis
Cu-Au-Zn discovery

Minotaur is committed to discovery…
But not so for Minotaur – 4Q 2014 marked our largest spend on exploration over the past 2
years
§  Minotaur is investing more on exploration than the average for metals & mining companies 2-3x our market value
Exploration expenditure has declined since 2Q 2013 for the majority of the ASX junior metals
& mining universe

…while innovating through minerals focussed R&D
Minotaur maintains an active research and development program
§  Minotaur leverages its intellectual property through active R&D directed towards new discovery
methodologies and product development, such as;
‒  Geophysical anomaly discrimination (‘seeing through’) ultra conductive cover (overburden)
‒  Product innovation from kaolin and halloysite stocks
‒  Discovery tools for iron sulphide copper-gold mineralised systems
‒  Mineral systems mapping using new technologies
§  Annual refunds from ATO for R&D investment typically range A$0.6m to A$1.1m
10
Minotaur continues to believe in exploration
§  Base metal supplies forecast to tighten over next few years
§  as grades drop and mines are depleted
§  and the search for deeper, blind deposits intensifies…
§  the perceived value of exploration will return
§  Australian dollar returning to trend
§  Putting upward pressure on AUD commodity prices
§  and widening margins for high-grade deposits…
§  giving more impetus to the search for new ore bodies
§  Exploration success can translate into spectacular value creation
§  We’ve seen cyclical downturns come and go before, and…
§  this time it is NOT different
