Significant Cornerstone
Global expertise in mining financing - $2 billion committed capital
Resource Capital Funds ("RCF" or the "Funds") are private equity funds with
mandates to make investments exclusively in the mining sector across a
diversified range of mineral commodities and geographic regions. The Funds are
managed by RCF Management L.L.C. which has its principal office in Denver and
additional offices in Perth, New York (Long Island) and Toronto. RCF pioneered
the concept of mining-focused private equity funds and strives to produce
superior returns to its investors, portfolio companies and fellow equity
investors. Since inception, RCF has supported 132 mining companies (and several
mining-services companies) involving projects located in 44 countries and relating
to 29 commodities.
RCF is currently investing its sixth fund, Resource Capital Fund VI L.P., with
committed capital of $2.04 billion and currently manages three other active
private equity funds, Resource Capital Fund V L.P., Resource Capital Fund IV L.P.
and Resource Capital Fund III L.P. The Funds' committed capital is sourced
primarily from US-based institutional investors. Further information about
Resource Capital Funds can be found on its
website www.resourcecapitalfunds.com
RCF has experience in building management teams specifically suited to develop
and or operate assets and has the resources and networks to draw upon to source
top talent from around the world. In addition to providing financing, RCF has the
in-house technical and financial expertise to actively guide a mining company's
management team through the process of raising capital in the public equity and
project financing markets. RCF's management team consists of individuals with
extensive commercial and technical experience in the mining industry.
7. Global Zinc Market
Zinc supply shortage unfolding
• Zinc metal consumption has been 3.7% year on year
for the 2012-2014 period
• Zinc metals consumption expected to be closer to
4.5% year on year for the 2015-2020 period
• Zinc stocks (LME and SHFR) are currently 2.1% in
deficit translating to incremental demand of ~5% p.a.
• Zinc concentrate ~3Mt needed for the next 5 years to
meet forecast consistent demand
• Add removal of ~4% of zinc concentrate supply with
end of mine life of Century and Lisheen
• Hence a possible gap of 5-10% zinc concentrate, draw
down of stocks and upward pressure on spot price

8. Global Zinc Market
Zinc pricing, consumption, stocks
• Zinc LME spot price historically follows the
“stocks:consumption” ratio
• Zinc price responds to upside as stocks:
consumption ratio approaches <3 weeks of
zinc metal consumption
• With further forecasts in depleted stocks and
consumption on average trending up 5% y-o-y
at least, stocks:consumption ratio expected to
tighten further
• Stocks are forecast to fall below the critical
stocks:consumption inflection point of 3 weeks
early to mid 2016
• Translates to long trend in higher zinc price
which could remain at that level for sometime
(previously 2003-2008)

Admiral Bay Zinc Project
Location and Background
• Located in the Canning Basin, Kimberley
Region; Excellent infrastructure nearby
• Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) deposit with
zinc, lead, silver, and barite
• Discovered in 1981 during petroleum
exploration.
• Drilled and assessed by CRA Exploration Pty
Ltd from 1986 to 1992 and Kagara Ltd from
2004 to 2009.
• More than $50M* invested to date
• Two granted ML’s and 1 granted EL covering
25km of mineralisation
• PLD consider the project a potential Tier 1
Asset
* Invested by previous owners CRA Exploration and Kagara Zinc Limited (in liquidation)

Geology and Mineralisation
Admiral Bay Zinc Project
• Strongly structurally focussed Mississippi
Valley Type (MVT) deposit
• Extensive 18km mineralised corridor along
the Admiral Bay Fault Zone – major early
basin-margin fault
• Mineralisation localised in favourable
shallow-water limestones on a fault-
controlled palaeohigh
• Upper zinc-rich and lower lead-rich zones up
to 20m and 15m thick respectively
• Similarities to other carbonate-deposits and
a sub-set of MVT deposits characterised by
higher grades
Admiral Bay Mineralisation
Admiral Bay Mineralisation
11. 11
• Stratabound Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation
dominated by replacement styles
• Pale low-iron sphalerite and coarse-grained
galena
• Huge alteration and mineralisation system
reflects effective structural focusing of
mineralising fluids, spatially coincident with
favourable host rocks
• Similarities with a sub-set of MVT deposits (e.g.
Polaris, Irish-type deposits) characterised by
higher grades, better focus, and greater
continuity than ‘typical’ MVT systems (e.g. Pine
Point)
• % of mineralised drill intersections in wide-
spaced drilling is extraordinary for this style of
mineralisation and supports continuity of
mineralisation

• Significant high-grade intersections above 10% ZnEq occur in most of the holes that have tested the
central axis of the deposit1
• Likely that multiple high-grade zones occur that have not yet been intersected by drilling

Exploration Target Range
One of the worlds most significant undeveloped Zinc deposits
* Invested by previous owners CRA Exploration and Kagara Zinc Limited (in liquidation)
• The MRE is currently limited to 2.1 km of a
sparsely-drilled 18 km mineralised corridor
• High ratio (90%) of mineralised intersections
supports continuity
• Exploration Target Range of:
• 170–250 Mt at 2.2–3.1% Zn and 2.5–
3.6% Pb 20g/t Ag over 15km strike
• Higher-grade Exploration Target Range of:
• 7–20 Mt at 3.3–5.0% Zn, 4.9–7.8% Pb,
and 23–30 g/t Ag (9.2–14.2% ZnEq) as
multiple zones
• Note that the potential quantities and
grades are conceptual in nature, that there
has been insufficient exploration to estimate
Mineral Resources and that it is uncertain
whether further exploration will result in
the estimation of Mineral Resources
