   AMR Resources Ltd. (AMR) is a Mineral
    Exploration and Mining Company with a long
    term strategy of discovering and advancing big
    deposits with strong production potential

           Mine-to-Market Strategy
Company Overview
   100% ownership of mineral exploration licences
    covering approximately 1,860 sq km in Turkey

   Located in Isparta Angle in Southwestern
    Turkey, recognised as having a unique structural
    and geological history.

   The licence area is a composite of exploration
    project ground held under title by the AMR
    Group.
   Our Mining & Concentrator Plant at
    Çanaklı I A already began test production
    on November 2010

   All our minerals of interest are liberated
    for this reason there is no need for any
    crushing and milling

   We only apply Wet Gravity and Magnetic

   More than 3,000 Th-U-K quantitative analyses have
    been made in the pits and trenches opened in the all
    resources by RS-230-BGO-Super Spec spectrometer.
   Totally 1,500 mt Wire-Line Drilling has been made in
    Çanaklı I and Kuyubaşı. Systematic samples are taken
    from each of vertical 2.5 mt of these drillings from
    these samples, totally 700 ICP-MS Whole Rock Major-
    Trace Element analyses have been carried out in
    Canada-ACME Laboratories.
   In consequence of these works;
    TREO average concentration was determined as
    1,000 gr/Ton
   In consequence of the Mineral Technology
    studies made in the company laboratories
    and the laboratories in the foreign
    countries, it has been ascertained that;
   35% of the TREO can be concentrated by
    Gravitation    and    Magnetic    Separation
    methods in -700µ+15µ Fractions.
   The major part of the REE minerals are in
    the grain size of -15µ , and R&D studies
    intended for recovery of these are on going.
   Firstly, 2,000 grains selected in the company
    laboratory for mineral determination have
    been subjected to Electron Microprobe
    analyses in Hacettepe University Micro
    Analysis Laboratories.
   Later, in an Australian company
    INTELLECTION, 3 individual QEMSCAN
    analyses have been made on the samples, 2
    of which was from ÇANAKLI AREA and 1 from
    KUYUBASI AREA.

                Titanites are different from the Classical Titanites.
                Density of some parts of the Titanites is higher than 4.
                These parts display very little magnetic characteristics and
                 remain in the form of Nonmagnetic fraction.
                These Titanites contain %~35 TiO2 and ~ 20% REE2O3.

 700,000 Ton TREO

 3,500,000 Ton TiO2

 700,000 Ton ZrO2

 70,000 Ton Nb2O5

 42,000 Ton ThO2

 21,000,000 Ton Fe3O4 (Micronized Magnetite)



MINING AND CONCENTRATOR PLANT ESTIMATED
  OPERATIONAL COST :
 US$ 2–2.50 per Ton
 IMPORTANT NOTE :
 The rate of the Recoverable Resource by Conventional Methods is 35% of the Total Resource. This
 amount was obtained by numerous Gravimetrical Tests applied to our ROM Material. We are aware
 of the presence of the liberated economical minerals within grain size of -15/25µ. In order to gain
 these fine economical minerals, Flotation Mineral Enrichment studies are continuing. Once
 successful Flotation Test-Work is achieved the Recoverable Resource would reach up to 60-70%.

MARKET POTENTIAL FOR AMR PRODUCTS

                                                    RARE EARTHS
As China, making the 97% of world’s total REE production, cut an important portion of its Rare Earth exports due to meet her
own increasing need, there has been an important level of supply shortage for Rare Earths in the World.

Even though Lynas Corporation and Molycorp Minerals will start production at 2012-2013, as the consumption increases
parallel to the advances in technology, it is determined that the demand will be more than the supply for the next 5 years.

AMR, at full capacity, will produce about 5.500 Ton/year REO.

AMR will be the first to actualize the production of Rare Earths from local resources in Turkey.

                                            TESTWORK
For the extraction of REE, Minor Metals, and Thorium from the Heavy Mineral Concentrate that AMR is producing at Canakli 1
plant, and the Magnetite is separated, an Agreement is signed with Dr C.K. Gupta and Star Earth Minerals Pvt Ltd.

The details of the study, which will be conducted an overseen by Dr Gupta, are specified in the Agreement. 500kg representing
sample of the HMC that AMR is producing is sent to India, and the lab scale tests will be resulted within 1 month with
10kg sample.

The results of the Laboratory Tests will be submitted as a Simplified Flow Sheet and as a Preliminary Report by Dr Gupta.

In the light of the data that will be obtained from Lab Scale Tests, Pilot Scale Test-works will be conducted with the remaining
490kg, and finalized within 2 months.

  • 13. More than 3,000 Th-U-K quantitative analyses have been made in the pits and trenches opened in the all resources by RS-230-BGO-Super Spec spectrometer.  Totally 1,500 mt Wire-Line Drilling has been made in Çanaklı I and Kuyubaşı. Systematic samples are taken from each of vertical 2.5 mt of these drillings from these samples, totally 700 ICP-MS Whole Rock Major- Trace Element analyses have been carried out in Canada-ACME Laboratories.  In consequence of these works; TREO average concentration was determined as 1,000 gr/Ton
  • 14. In consequence of the Mineral Technology studies made in the company laboratories and the laboratories in the foreign countries, it has been ascertained that;  35% of the TREO can be concentrated by Gravitation and Magnetic Separation methods in -700µ+15µ Fractions.  The major part of the REE minerals are in the grain size of -15µ , and R&D studies intended for recovery of these are on going.
  • 15. Firstly, 2,000 grains selected in the company laboratory for mineral determination have been subjected to Electron Microprobe analyses in Hacettepe University Micro Analysis Laboratories.  Later, in an Australian company INTELLECTION, 3 individual QEMSCAN analyses have been made on the samples, 2 of which was from ÇANAKLI AREA and 1 from KUYUBASI AREA.

This amount was obtained by numerous Gravimetrical Tests applied to our ROM Material. We are aware of the presence of the liberated economical minerals within grain size of -15/25µ. In order to gain these fine economical minerals, Flotation Mineral Enrichment studies are continuing. Once successful Flotation Test-Work is achieved the Recoverable Resource would reach up to 60-70%.

  • 25. MARKET POTENTIAL FOR AMR PRODUCTS RARE EARTHS As China, making the 97% of world’s total REE production, cut an important portion of its Rare Earth exports due to meet her own increasing need, there has been an important level of supply shortage for Rare Earths in the World. Even though Lynas Corporation and Molycorp Minerals will start production at 2012-2013, as the consumption increases parallel to the advances in technology, it is determined that the demand will be more than the supply for the next 5 years. AMR, at full capacity, will produce about 5.500 Ton/year REO. AMR will be the first to actualize the production of Rare Earths from local resources in Turkey.

  • 27. AMR HYDROMETALLURGICAL TESTWORK For the extraction of REE, Minor Metals, and Thorium from the Heavy Mineral Concentrate that AMR is producing at Canakli 1 plant, and the Magnetite is separated, an Agreement is signed with Dr C.K. Gupta and Star Earth Minerals Pvt Ltd. The details of the study, which will be conducted an overseen by Dr Gupta, are specified in the Agreement. 500kg representing sample of the HMC that AMR is producing is sent to India, and the lab scale tests will be resulted within 1 month with 10kg sample. The results of the Laboratory Tests will be submitted as a Simplified Flow Sheet and as a Preliminary Report by Dr Gupta. In the light of the data that will be obtained from Lab Scale Tests, Pilot Scale Test-works will be conducted with the remaining 490kg, and finalized within 2 months.
