The 3rd annual Resources & Energy Investment Symposium (REIS) is on 19-22 May, once again held in the unique city of Broken Hill; Last year’s event exceeded the expectations of all that attended - including over 350 delegates, 12 keynote speakers and more than 30 resource companies presenting their investment opportunities.
A focus for this year’s symposium will be on the current economic climate including its challenges and opportunities, not only in the Australian resources industry, but Australia’s position in the international market.

A potential new CSA style copper mine
Farm –in agreement with Peel
Mining signed May 2012
$8.3m commitment by CBH for
50% JV equity
Drilling results very
encouraging, initial resource
targetted for 2H 2013
Strong cooperative relationship
with Peel Mining team
Peel managing exploration
programs during CBH farm-in
stages
24. Mallee Bull
Work program

25. Looking ahead
Profitability and costs to be the main focus
The future for Endeavor Mine ( replacement feed , leveraging infrastructure )
Stable and profitable operations at Rasp Mine ( Main Lode to increase grade,
additional reserves, assess open cut potential )
Expand ConPorts at Newcastle , subject to signing users
CBH’s next mine( Mallee Bull ?). Acquisition opportunities
Exploration to remain focussed on areas within the vicinity of existing CBH
mines
Retaining the CBH team
IPO unlikely in current environment, but remains longer term goal
