Under-explored by modern standards C. Political and economic stability Ranked 12th in the 2009 World Risk Survey (WA ranked 12th) D. Excellent infrastructure E. Favourable minerals legislation Initial exploration permit 3 years – maximum 15 years Initial exploitation concessions 25 years – rolling 10 year extensions Government royalty 0.2% of average value of minerals mined F. Low corporate tax Corporate tax rate 28% G. World –class databases SGU Mineral resources Information Office in Mala H. Mining know-how and highly trained personnel Global leaders in supply of mining technology 3


Sweden - very large mines 1.

Kiruna Iron Mine (owned by LKAB) 1. 2Bt iron mine 2. Production in 2007 was 24.7Mt (76% pellets) 3. Production for 1st three quarters of 2008 was 18Mt 4. SEK6 billion concentrator and pelletising plant produced first pellets in May 2008 5. Recent decision to invest SEK12.4 billion into a new main level 6. Town must be moved at cost of SEK12.5 billion 7. Capacity to produce 30Mt/y of pellets 8. Mining in Kiruna secure through to 2035

2.

Aitik Copper Mine (owned by Boliden) 1. one of Europe's largest producers of copper, and also a major producer of gold and silver 2. Aitik has produced almost 430 Mt of ore (to 2007) . 3. 389 Mt of proven ore reserves grading 0.2 g/t gold, 2 g/t silver and 0.29% copper (as at January 2008) 4. 221 Mt of probable ore reserves grading 0.1 g/t gold, 2 g/t silver and 0.28% copper 5. Measured and indicated mineral resources amount to an additional 1048 Mt 6. Increasing copper production from 18Mt/y to 36Mt/y 7. Investment in new concentrator and mining plant is SEK6 billion 8. The mine and its concentrator started operating in 1968. 4

Sweden – active exploration 1. Only the Swedish State permitted to conduct exploration until 1992 2. Now more than 100 exploration companies now active in Sweden including: Anglo American Phelps Dodge Rio Tinto Teck Cominco 3. Australian listed companies active in Scandinavia include: Dragon Mining Ltd (ASX:DRA) Avalon Minerals Ltd (ASX:AVI) Aura Energy Ltd (ASX:AEE) Northern Iron Ltd (ASX:NFE) Vulcan Limited (ASX:VCN) Golden Rim Resources Ltd (ASX:GMR) 3. US$92 million spent on exploration in 2007 (US$49:2006)

Sweden – outstanding exploration data Geological Survey of Sweden is the Swedish central government agency responsible for all matters relating to Swedish geology SGU Mineral Resources Information Office serves as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for everyone conducting exploration in Sweden – established 1993 All government data plus data from private exploration has been merged and stored in archives and databases 1. >8,000 exploration reports 2. 100,000 maps of various kinds 3. Drill core and drill hole logs 4. Field notes etc 5. 20,000 mineralised boulders 6. >4,000km of drill core SGU offers explorers: 1. Aerial geophysical data covering al of Sweden (magnetic radiation and electromagnetic) 2. Ground geophysical data (magnetic, electromagnetic, gravity and petrophysical) 3. Geochemical data (soils, stream peat, stream sediment and bedrock) 4. Bedrock data (rock type distribution, age, chemical and mineralogical composition, tectonics and mineral deposits)
