11. 1. World Class Size Potential
 World class size and/or grade is a key product
differentiator in an over-crowded sector
 Established resource base with potential for
significant growth & value uplift through exploration
 Examples
• Gold, target 3 moz or greater, with preference for
higher grade and polymetallic systems
• Iron ore, target 500 MT – 1 billion tons+
depending on logistics and infrastructure
• Will consider lower tonnages on exceptional
‘direct ship’ ore
• Potash, target 500 MT minimum size potash
basins, e.g. Brazil and Ethiopia
Case Study: Sulliden Gold
• F&M acquired control with
resource of 1.5 moz gold, but
identified greater exploration
potential
• Today the deposit has a resource
of 3.4 moz gold, with by-product
silver identified also
• Currently advancing to
production, while still growing the
resource through drilling
11
Geological / Exploration Risk is Minimized
Investment Criteria

12. 2. Manageable Geopolitical Risk
 F&M recognizes that the best opportunities for value
and growth are often in the emerging markets
 Develop and supplement strong local relationships
with our influential international advisory board
 Balance risk-reward trade-off when entering new or
risky jurisdictions
 Work in concert with the local governments as a long
term partner
 Liaising with our partners MIGA and the World Bank
who have successfully provided Political Risk
Insurance for over $17 bn of emerging markets
investments
Case Study: Allana Potash
• F&M purchased two potash
projects in Ethiopia and
Argentina
• Allana began with a historical
resource estimate 105 million
tonnes inferred
• Drilling results from a resource
estimate released in June 2011
increased total measured,
indicated and inferred resources
to 1.269 billion tonnes
• Working towards production in
late 2014
12
Investment Criteria

13. 3. Compelling Valuation & Structure
 Target 5-10x upside from initial investment through to public
market exit over 3-5 years
 Projects often acquired at steep discounts due to technical
geopolitical or other risks
• F&M has the ability to overcome these issues and
exploit the asset through its operational edge
 Deals structured to optimize capital flows and reduce risk,
through joint venture and earn-in structures
 Partnerships are created that align interests, maximize cash
that is put into the ground and minimize upfront cash
payments to vendors
 Exit strategies are conceived on deal entry
13
Investment Criteria
Optimal Structuring and Valuation Discipline
Has Generated High Returns for F&M
Case Study: Consolidated
Thompson Iron Mines
• Identified, developed and
operated 8 Mm tpy iron ore
mine
• Secured strategic off take
financing from WISCO
• North American industry player
purchased company for $4.7B
in cash

14. 4. Ability to Transform Assets
 F&M provides management, capital and direction to
move resource assets up the value chain
• Resource delineation and expansion
• Feasibility study
• Permitting/environmental
• Financing
• Construction
• Operation and expansion
 At each stage the project becomes less risky and
more valuable
• Success is not contingent on rising commodity
prices
Case Study: Avion Gold
• F&M bought the shuttered
Tabakoto mine and restarted it
after identifying mining
inefficiencies and re-engineering it
• Massively expanded resource
base through acquisitions and
successful exploration in Burkina
Faso
• Operated & executed successfully
through the coup delivering record
months
• Sold to Endeavour Gold in August
2012, significant premium to the
pre-announcement stock price
14
Investment Criteria
Well Proven Mining Engineering Process to
Unlocking Value

15.  Exit typically achieved through a dual listing on other
exchanges
• Extensive experience taking companies post IPO as
a core part of F&M’s merchant banking business
model
• Reverse takeover “RTO”, IPO and strategic merger
• Canadian (TSX) markets usually best suited to
recognize value in mining and natural resource
• Potential dual listing on other markets
 Target gradual public exit over 1-3 years
 Built relationships with top fund managers, investment
bankers and analysts in North America, Europe and Asia
as well as our global mining industry peers
• Built a following in the investment community to
achieve better valuation and liquidity
Case Study: A Year that Yamana
Gold bought Desert Sun
• Acquired formerly producing gold
mine in Brazil for $5 mm in a
public shell company (RTO) in
2002
• Technical and executive team
successfully expanded the
resource sevenfold and restarted
production to 100k oz
• Built outstanding reputation with
investors over 3 years
• Bought by Yamana Gold for $750
mm
