Kasbah Resources Limited is an emerging tin producer that owns the Achmmach tin project in Morocco. The company recently updated its resource estimate for Achmmach to 130,900 tonnes of contained tin. Kasbah is advancing the Achmmach project with a definitive feasibility study scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2013. Exploration is also underway to evaluate additional targets near Achmmach that could provide further resource growth. With a strong cash position and development partner Toyota Tsusho, Kasbah is well positioned to become a sustainable tin producer.

27. EXPLORATION UPSIDE – 3 targets
Eastern Zone Shallows (EZS)
• Shallow target (< 100m) within Achmmach Eastern Zone
EZS • Drilling commenced February 2013 – results pending
Bou El Jaj Tin Project (BLJ)
• 8km from Achmmach, high grade tin outcrop evident
BLJ • First pass shallow drilling completed December 2012 – results pending
Sidi Addi Trend (SAT)
• Parallel 2km system at Achmmach – untested outcrop and at depth
SAT • Drilling to commence Q3 2013?

28. KASBAH – The Value Proposition
Achmmach continues to be de-risked
High quality SnO2 resource is growing
Toyota Tsusho Corp (TTC) as development
partner
Potential project financiers being evaluated
Off-takers positioned
Next resource upgrade Q3 2013
Exploration upside @ EZS, SAT and BLJ
