Statements contained in this presentation which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that
involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences, without
limiting the generality of the following, include: risks inherent in exploration activities; volatility and
sensitivity to market prices for uranium and rare earths; volatility and sensitivity to capital market
fluctuations; the impact of exploration competition; the ability to raise funds through private or public
equity financings; imprecision in resource and reserve estimates; environmental and safety risks including
increased regulatory burdens; unexpected geological or hydrological conditions; a possible deterioration in
political support for nuclear energy and rare earth technologies; changes in government regulations and
policies, including trade laws and policies; demand for nuclear power and rare earth products; failure to
obtain necessary permits and approvals from government authorities; weather and other natural phenomena;
and other exploration, development, operating, financial market and regulatory risks. Although Stans Energy
Corp. believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue
reliance should not be placed on these statements, which only apply as of the date of this release. Stans
Energy Corp. disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. United States investors are advised that
while the term "inferred" resources is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not
recognize that term. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in this
category will ever be converted into reserves.
Snapshot - Stans Energy Corp.
   100% ownership of former Soviet rare earth (RE) mine - Kutessay II
    o    Only hard rock open pit mine in the world (outside of China) to ever produce
         all 10 heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) in significant quantities

   20-year Mining Licence (Dec 2009)

   Purchased RE processing complex
    o    Proven hydrometallurgy
    o    Previously separated concentrate into 120 different final RE products, including
         oxides, metals and alloys
Snapshot - Stans Energy Corp. continued
   Supplied 80% of former Soviet Union’s REs for 30 years

   50/50 HREE/LREE ratio (historical)

   Historical capacity of 500 mt RE oxides, metals and alloys per year

   Extensive infrastructure - e.g. paved roads, power, rail, water, etc.

   Supportive new Kyrgyz government
Snapshot - Stans Energy Corp. continued
   Rail terminal included in KCMP purchase
    o    Access to Russia, China, Korea, Japan (by ferry), Middle East, and
         international markets

   Consulting agreements with world class RE experts and institutes

   Joint collaborations with strategic partners
    o    VNIIHT (The Russian Leading Research institute of Chemical Technology)
    o    Jointly exploring potential acquisitions in the Russian Federation.
The market is now beginning to appreciate . . .

 Difference and significance in supply and value of HREEs over LREEs
 Complexity of the hydrometallurgy required to process HREEs
 Owning REE bearing rocks is just one small piece of the profit picture
 Thorium/Uranium separation and storage is needed for almost every
   potential RE mine
By 2015

  278,000 mt       Forecasted Worldwide RE required supply
  100,000 mt       Anticipated Chinese supply
  178,000 mt       Supply deficit to be met by rest of world


          The demand for REEs is here now – especially for HREEs
Investors need answers to two very important questions . . .

    Which of the REEs have the tightest supply vs. demand pressure?

    Who has the capability to produce them and when?
Stans Energy’s goal:

Stans Energy is to become the first Heavy Rare Earth
Elements (HREEs) producer outside of China by revitalizing
its 100% owned, former REEs mine, Kutessay II.

Long term, Stans will become a world leader in HREE
development

Kalesay                  Due to its close proximity to the Kutessay II REE mine,
                          which is Stans intends to re-open, the Kalesay Beryllium
          Kutessay II     mine could be very well be developed at the same time.

                         Increasing the Beryllium reserves is possible through
                          exploration of deposit pit flanks and to the depth

                         More than 70% of total reserves of the deposit can be
                          mined by open pit

Re–opening a former Soviet producer

  • 1. RARE EARTHS, SPECIALITY & STRATEGIC METALS INVESTMENT SUMMIT Re–opening a former Soviet producer Robert Mackay – CEO, Stans Energy IRONMONGERS’ HALL, CITY OF LONDON ● THURSDAY, 17 MAR 2011 www.ObjectiveCapitalConferences.com
  • 3. Statements contained in this presentation which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences, without limiting the generality of the following, include: risks inherent in exploration activities; volatility and sensitivity to market prices for uranium and rare earths; volatility and sensitivity to capital market fluctuations; the impact of exploration competition; the ability to raise funds through private or public equity financings; imprecision in resource and reserve estimates; environmental and safety risks including increased regulatory burdens; unexpected geological or hydrological conditions; a possible deterioration in political support for nuclear energy and rare earth technologies; changes in government regulations and policies, including trade laws and policies; demand for nuclear power and rare earth products; failure to obtain necessary permits and approvals from government authorities; weather and other natural phenomena; and other exploration, development, operating, financial market and regulatory risks. Although Stans Energy Corp. believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements, which only apply as of the date of this release. Stans Energy Corp. disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. United States investors are advised that while the term "inferred" resources is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize that term. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in this category will ever be converted into reserves.
  • 4. Snapshot - Stans Energy Corp.  100% ownership of former Soviet rare earth (RE) mine - Kutessay II o Only hard rock open pit mine in the world (outside of China) to ever produce all 10 heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) in significant quantities  20-year Mining Licence (Dec 2009)  Purchased RE processing complex o Proven hydrometallurgy o Previously separated concentrate into 120 different final RE products, including oxides, metals and alloys
  • 5. Snapshot - Stans Energy Corp. continued  Supplied 80% of former Soviet Union’s REs for 30 years  50/50 HREE/LREE ratio (historical)  Historical capacity of 500 mt RE oxides, metals and alloys per year  Extensive infrastructure - e.g. paved roads, power, rail, water, etc.  Supportive new Kyrgyz government
  • 6. Snapshot - Stans Energy Corp. continued  Rail terminal included in KCMP purchase o Access to Russia, China, Korea, Japan (by ferry), Middle East, and international markets  Consulting agreements with world class RE experts and institutes  Joint collaborations with strategic partners o VNIIHT (The Russian Leading Research institute of Chemical Technology) o Jointly exploring potential acquisitions in the Russian Federation.
  • 7. The market is now beginning to appreciate . . .  Difference and significance in supply and value of HREEs over LREEs  Complexity of the hydrometallurgy required to process HREEs  Owning REE bearing rocks is just one small piece of the profit picture  Thorium/Uranium separation and storage is needed for almost every potential RE mine
  • 8. By 2015 278,000 mt Forecasted Worldwide RE required supply 100,000 mt Anticipated Chinese supply 178,000 mt Supply deficit to be met by rest of world The demand for REEs is here now – especially for HREEs
  • 9. Investors need answers to two very important questions . . .  Which of the REEs have the tightest supply vs. demand pressure?  Who has the capability to produce them and when?
  • 10. Stans Energy’s goal: Stans Energy is to become the first Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREEs) producer outside of China by revitalizing its 100% owned, former REEs mine, Kutessay II. Long term, Stans will become a world leader in HREE development
  • 12. Stans Energy’s Kutessay II REE Mine 51,500 tonnes TREO, 0.3 grade, 48% HREEs (historical) Element Oxide Historical REO$/Kg USD REEs % Feb. 2011 Yttrium (Y) 26.69 120.00 Dysprosium (Dy) 6.26 375.00 Kalesay Kutessay III Terbium (Tb) 1.15 640.00 Europium (Eu) 2.51 646.00 Aktyuz Kutessay II Neodymium (Nd) 8.49 110.00 Erbium (Er) 4.82 105.00 Praseodymium (Pr) 3.20 110.00 Gadolinium (Gd) 2.69 100.00 Samarium (Sm) 3.81 61.00 Holmium (Ho) 1.16 200.00 Thulium (Tm) 0.05 790.00 Ytterbium (Yb) 1.77 155.00 Lutetium (Lu) 0.06 400.00 Cerium (Ce) 25.02 67.00 Lanthanum (La) 9.12 64.00
  • 13.  Beryllium deposit with historical reserves of С1+С2 category: ore – 9,245,000 t., containing 11,701 t of Beryllium oxide at an average grade of 0.128%*… Beryllium’s price is >$700,000.00/t USD Kalesay  Due to its close proximity to the Kutessay II REE mine, which is Stans intends to re-open, the Kalesay Beryllium Kutessay II mine could be very well be developed at the same time.  Increasing the Beryllium reserves is possible through exploration of deposit pit flanks and to the depth  More than 70% of total reserves of the deposit can be mined by open pit *Reserve estimate was derived from non NI 43-101 compliant historical Soviet data, and should not be relied on
  • 14. Kutessay II REE Breakdown Kutessay II REE Breakdown by Value (% of Ore) (FOB prices in USD March 2011) La La Y 9.42% 4.47% Ce 27.57% Y 12.85% 24.54% Ce Pr 25.85% Lu 2.57% 0.18% Nd Lu 7.42% Yb 0.06% 2.10% Yb 1.83% Tm Tm 0.30% Sm 0.05% Er 1.78% Er 3.88% Eu 4.98% Ho 12.43% Ho Pr 1.78% 1.20% Dy 3.31% 6.47% Nd Dy Tb Gd Gd 8.77% 17.99% 1.19% Eu Sm Tb 2.06% 2.78% 2.59% 3.94% 5.64% HREEs LREEs Average REO price of $136/kg
  • 15. It is essential to have access to both . . . Proven Hydrometallurgy & Expertise  Outside of China, very little of either exists  Every REE deposit is different  It can take years to crack geologic codes and develop appropriate processing streams  Extremely costly and time-consuming processes
  • 16. PURCHASING RE PROCESSING COMPLEX  Signed exclusive purchase agreement with Kyrgyz Chemical Metallurgical Plant (KCMP) on January 13, 2011  Purchase for 100% of KCMP’s Heavy Rare Earth processing complex, its equipment and a private rail terminal  Purchase price $5.5 million USD in January
  • 17. REE PROCESSING COMPLEX  Up to 2010, this complex continued to produce HRE metals from stored concentrates  Inventory includes >700 pieces of complex hydrometallurgical equipment  97% of these assets are in good or satisfactory working condition KCMP HREE Equipment Inventory List
  • 19. RE PROCESSING COMPLEX The HREE processing complex purchase also included . . .  Decades of detailed historical documentation from when Kutessay II and KCMP were in full production
  • 21. IMPROVING PAST RE PROCESSING  Improve efficiencies at the milling stage by testing and implementing mechanical separation techniques • Improve thorium separation stage by implementing proven contained sorption technology • Reassemble equipment and technology for Plant #2 • Test new solvent extraction methods to eventually eliminate the need for Ion Exchange Columns • Decide whether it is feasible to reassemble LREE processing capability or sell LREE concentrates • Decide the optimal scale at which to bring Kutessay II into production
  • 22. Addressing the logistics challenge of end product delivery  Stans purchased a private rail terminal that connects to the Asian Rail network
  • 23. Proximity to population  Kutessay II and HREE processing facility close to population centres  Kutessay II is located beside Ak-tyuz, and KCMP is located in Orlovka  Mine is 140 km from Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek  Abundance of qualified labour living in area
  • 24. PARTNERSHIPS Expanding inroads to Kyrgyzstan & Russia  Stans Energy has an agreement with the Leading Russian Research Institute of Chemical Technology to evaluate and pursue rare earth acquisitions. Canada Honorary Consul of the Kyrgyz Republic Russia for Canada Kyrgyzstan VNIIHT CSRL IGPMG RAS ARRIMR Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University GEOTEP
  • 25. What we have planned . . .  Confirm the extensive Russian and Kyrgyz geological and surface data on Kutessay II  Feasibility study on resuming production at Kutessay II  Implement a new mine plan for Kutessay II  Close the purchase of HREE processing complex and commence program to optimize design and scale
