Copper Mountain Mine- Porphyry
 Exploration Objectives

o To confirm continuity of mineralization between the pits.

o To test and possibly expand reported resources between existing pits in
order to identify a new merged pit- known as the “Super Pit.”
o To identify the potential for large, deep-seated porphyry deposits
through a comprehensive minesite exploration program.

 Copper Mountain- Survey Results

o Effective survey in a noisy environment

o Identification of targets to depth
o Confirmation of geologic model
o Drilled 37 m of ore based on Titan 24 results
o Drill results led to $29 m of financing
o Identified a new merged pit known as the “Super Pit”

In 2008, Copper Mountain succeed in finishing one of the largest drill programs in
Canada (106,000 meters) and increased the resource estimate by 45% to 5 Billion
pounds of copper. The goal of the program was achieved when the results confirmed
continuity of mineralization between the pits.

The Current mine plan merely scratches the surface of the visible anomalies that
extend to depth. Copper Mountain will continue to test these deep anomalies and
sees “blue sky” potential to develop a world class deposit upon successful proof of
mineralization below the planned super pit outline.

o TITAN 24 successfully identified and delineated two new targets (A and B.)

o Drill testing of Target B led to the discovery of the Itsit deposit (a Cu-Au and Mo
Porphyry style stock-work mineralization.)

o The 3D DCIP and MT inversion results of the data led to a better definition of the
porphyry system outlines and the detection of new highly prospective targets,
increasing the size of the deposit dramatically.

o TITAN 24 was very successful at detecting both shallow vein-type and deep-
seated Porphyry-style targets associated with significant mineralization to
depths of 800m.

o Proved ability of system to perform in very rough,

mountainous terrain with reliable results to depth.
 Press release- Northgate Minerals

“With the validation of the Titan system as an exploration

tool for the terrain and deposit types in the Kemess camp,
additional surveys have been contracted to more completely
map out the area around hole KH-07-04, as well as to explore
other areas of the Kemess North system and areas adjacent to
the Kemess South pit. In addition to this survey work,
Northgate will be drilling additional holes in and around the
Altus and Ora zones during the 2007 exploration season.
Total exploration expenditures on the Kemess property in
2007 are now expected to reach $4 million.”

deposit is located in the
Copper Basin area of
Nevada. It comprises a
Late Cretaceaous calc-
alkaline porphyry system
estimated to contain
more than 1,000 million
tons of mineralized rock
averaging 0.10 weight
percent Mo and small
amounts of Ag, W, Cu
and Au.
Copper Basin- Nevada

A Titan 24 survey was

conducted across an area
of historic Cu and Cu-Au
open pit mining in the
Copper Basin area of
Central Nevada.

The aim of the survey was to

map chargeability
anomalies associated with

Three Bluffs- Resource Estimate
 Three Bluffs: Survey Results

o Titan 24 successfully identified at least five geophysical anomalies in the

DCIP results from near surface to approximately 500 m depth. Three
anomalies were classified as high priority targets.
o A deep conductor more than 300m deep was identified as a high
priority target (potential extension of known mineralization.)
o Resistivity lows extend to least 500m depth over much of the surveyed
area, further supporting the potential to extend significant gold
mineralization to depths beyond those drilled to date.
o The deposit comprises a current NI 43-101 compliant resource of 2.7 Mt
at 5.85 g/t gold for 508,000 oz gold (indicated) and 1.27 Mt at 5.98 g/t
gold for 244,000oz gold (inferred).

TITAN 24 Survey Results

 TITAN surveys have identified over 15 major chargeability high and

resistivity low anomalies, that are consistent with vein-gold mineralized
zones, and lie buried from 100-750m depth.

 Anomalies are oriented along 5 linear trends (A-E) that extend across
the property.

 Zone A corresponds to the main Gralheira vein system. It is mapped

from surface to >500-750m depths as an IP high feature. Additional
secondary veins are indicated north of main Gralheira system.

 Zone B is a secondary system that subcrops and lies south of Gralheira.

Zone D is a buried system north of Gralheira. Zones E and C are deeper
features with weaker IP signatures.

 Twenty-five anomalies are drill-targeted, including 8 first priority features

that offer sufficient strength and depth-extent.
Follow-Up Drill Results

 Prior to this drill program, the majority of holes previously

drilled along the 2,000 m strike length of Gralheira tested
for mineralization only between the surface and a depth
of 200 m.

 The single deepest previous intercept was 300 m below

surface

 The drill program consisted of 11 drill holes, some

intersecting high grade gold and silver mineralization. The
drill program successfully intersected mineralization up to
511 m below surface, with most drill holes intersecting
mineralization between 380 m and 480 m below surface.

Denison Mines, Athabasca Basin
Phoenix Deposit, Wheeler River Project:
Uranium
Phoenix Deposit

 The Phoenix Deposit, discovered in 2007 by a TITAN 24 survey, is an unconformity-

type uranium deposit on the southeastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, located
approximately midway between the McArthur River mines and the Key Lake mill.

 The Phoenix deposit has been identified along a strike of 900+ m, associated with
a graphitic shear zone adjoining a basement quartzite ridge
Exploration Objectives

o To use TITAN 24 DC/IP to help delineate structures containing

unconformity Uranium mineralization for efficient drill planning.
o To construct a complete geophysical map of the property to better
understand basement structure.

Previous Exploration
A TITAN 24 survey conducted in 2007
clearly identified the alteration zone
associated with Phoenix as a
conductive zone protruding through
the unconformity. Several follow-up
surveys conducted in subsequent
years provided a detailed and
comprehensive map of basement
structures, and mapped the Phoenix
zone along strike. Drilling has
mapped a high-grade zone over a
strike of 250+ m, and the deposit
remains open in all directions.
DC Resistivity Plan Map, 450 m Depth

consists of 73 claims and covers an area of 1,104 hectares.

 The property was heavily explored by Xstrata Zinc and its predecessor
companies at intervals since the 1960s. Trevali believes that its Halfmile
and Stratmat properties represent the largest and highest-grade
undeveloped deposits in the Bathurst Mining Camp.

Geology
 The Halfmile Property contains 4 sulphide zones: Upper, Lower, Deep and
North. The deposit is a volcanic-sediment-hosted massive sulphide deposit
and is one of over 45 massive sulphide deposits in the Bathurst Mining Camp.
Rocks are of Ordovician age and have undergone a complex history of
polyphase folding and faulting. The deposit is structurally overlain by rhyolitic
and dacitic rocks as well as disconformable quartz-wackes and pelites.
Half Mile Mine- TITAN 24 Results

 TITAN 24 detected and mapped the vertical extent of the Half

Mile base metal VMS deposits in New Brunswick, to a depth of
over 1500 m. As a result Titan 24 was able to map the largest
and deepest massive sulfide lens that was discovered several
decades after the initial discovery of the near surface zone.

Norman & Levack- Sudbury, ON

 The Norman and Levack mine site properties are located

just outside of Sudbury, Ontario along the known Sudbury
contact, footwall and offset Ni-Cu massive sulfide
mineralization. The Sudbury structure has been accepted
to have been caused by a giant meteorite impact.

Jwaneng Mine: Diamonds
Jwaneng- Minesite Survey

Jwaneng Diamond Mine

is the richest diamond
deposit worldwide by
value and a key driver in
Botswana mining
Jwaneng Mine- Overview

 Kimberlite pipe discovered in 1972.

 Comprises three steep-sided pipes that connect to each other

approximately 100m below the present day surface. The pipes
are referred to as the South, Centre and North lobes.

 Jwaneng pipes are dominated by two types of kimberlite – a

volcaniclastic kimberlite and a dark pyroclastic kimberlite.

 Titan 24 survey objective was to image lobes to depth for

reliable mapping of deposit size and geometry.
Exploration Objectives

 To determine the geo-metric characteristics of the pipe

well below the limitation of current physical information
from mining and drilling.
 Improve mine planning and provide future cash flow
implications by better estimating future mining potential.

Exploration Challenge:
 Operating within the active mine environment while
collecting accurate and useful information in an
extremely culturally effected area.
Jwaneng- Survey Results

 Titan mapped geometry of kimberlite pipe to 800m.

 Resistivity contrasts within the kimberlite, associated with different
diamond bearing facies were mapped with the Titan 24 data. These
results impact delineation drilling, mine planning and discovery
processes.
 Titan survey imaged effectively at an operating diamond mine.
 Highlighted priority zones for the next step drilling.
