1. Base Case assumes extraction of existing ore reserves at 9Mtpa only over 14 years. Target Case 15Mtpa.
2. NPV is after deducting project acquisition costs (which is $142M in the $3.50 case) paid out of future cash
flows and $91M of site improvement and closure costs.
3. Scenarios under $3.50/lb assume 50% of Base Case of years 2-7 are hedged at circa $3.50/lb.
4. Operating Costs (C1): assumed $1.56/lb
5. Capital, Operating and Closure Costs (C3): assumed $1.90/lb

Environment Plans (AAU): await approval.
Everything has been submitted.
Project already cleared by IGME. CEDEX
requires further due diligence on tailings
Flows from Restoration Plan.
Administrative Standing: we
believe we have met the Legal,
Technical and EconomicTests
Flows from AAU Approval
Drilling to increase
Resource/Reserve
Target to Increase Reserves on Open Pit to trigger production higher than 9Mtpa
Target to report Resources on higher-grade underground mine/s
*** the triggering of Phase 1 depends on the timing of formal confirmation of permits and finance
THIS SYMBOL DENOTES THE EXPECTED TIMING
OF FINAL FORMAL APPROVAL.
FOR INSTANCE, WITH THE AAU THE PUBLIC
COMMENT PERIOD HAS BEEN CONCLUDED.
ALSO THE REGULATORS HAVE ADVISED DRAFT
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL OF AS AND AAU
AND WE AWAIT THE GAZETTING OF APPROVALS.
SUBJECT TO FINANCE, PHASE 1 PRE-WORKS CAN
PROCEED AFTER FORMAL APPROVAL OF AAU
AND AS AND FULL PHASE 1 START-UP WORKS
CAN PROCEED UPON FORMAL APPROVAL OF
FRP AND MINING PERMIT.

TOTAL 252
All estimates in accordance with Behre Dolbear NI 43-101 Technical Report issued February 2013
Planned working capital together with finance facilities being designed with Goldman
Sachs, Xiangguang and Red Kite potentially covers $252M when “fully-bankable”.
This project start-up finance plan assumes $27M of additional capital is arranged
from non-debt (off-take-linked, royalty linked or ordinary equity) sources by mid-2013.

GROWTH PIPELINE
– To optimise open pit
resources for higher gold
prices
– To consider the impact of
potentially higher gold prices
on the economics of deeper
zones of mineralisation
– To keep testing Hodrusa Field
– To re-start drilling after
addressing higher
priorities elsewhere
Slovakia, plan to develop
1M oz gold discovery:
Cyprus, potential for
economic discoveries
DETVA
GROWTH
RIO TINTO
CYPRUS
– To optimise open pit reserves of 123 Mt
for copper price higher than $2/lb
– To convert more of 203 Mt open pit
resources to reserves
– To increase open pit resources of 203 Mt
– To test potential to recycle tailings
Spain, plan to restart the whole Rio Tinto mining field:
– To re-evaluate the San Dyonisio and San
Antonio higher-grade underground mines
– To test other deposits RTZ reported on the
company’s Rio Tinto Mine property
– To test targets on one or more of the
surrounding mineral concessions
