Why Papua New Guinea?
PAPUA NEW GUINEA – A LAND OF UNIQUE POTENTIAL Huge mineral potential in one of the world’s most geologically active
and prospective regions
A well-established mining sector, home to a number of world class mines
Supportive Government, stable legislative environment and policy mechanisms and processes
Favourable mining fiscal regimes such as low taxes on income and dividends
Mining and Petroleum sector is the biggest contributor to the PNG economy

Ironsands in PNG
Resource, Scale, Infrastructure, Product & Market
Moderate to high grade extensive Ironsands deposits in southern PNG
1 Exploration Licence granted, 6 under application
Total area under exploration - 17,803 km²
350 km of continuous tenements along coastline
Initial exploration programmes completed indicate opportunities for low cost onshore and offshore (dredging) mining
Sampling and assays returned excellent results - iron ore
concentrate (60% Fe) with low impurities
Extremely encouraging product specs benchmarked to other industry peers
Underexplored highly prospective tenements
Established team with extensive experience in delivering early stage mineral development projects in PNG and globally with iron/steel making a key strength

Ironsands in PNG
Mayur Ironsands Resource - Magnetics
• Regional aeromagnetics map of the Gulf Region, red denotes strong magnetic anomaly and hence iron sands deposits• Note broad magnetic anomalies in the delta regions of the rivers
Orope Is. ironsands
Umunda Is. Ironsands

MARKETABILITY PARAMETERS
Fe grades - average concentrate spec of 58% Fe
Potential for Vanadium and Titanium, as a valuable by-product, with minor amounts of rutile, zircon, ilmenite and gold
Impurities compare well – NZ Iron and Steel is the industry benchmark and Kerema has both lower SiO2 and Al2O3
Main markets are blast furnaces in China and new mills using Direct Reduction-Submerged Electric Arc processes
Intention to sign take-off agreements for 80% of production with remaining 20% sold on the spot market
Ironsands in PNG
Specification – extremely positive initial results

Development Pathway – Speed and Future Scalability
• Kerema – the Phase 1 project• Anticipate dredge mining operation and
selective onshore mining• OPEX anticipated approximately US$ 27 /t
FOB• Sales price US$ 95 – 110 per ton linked to
industry indices• Proximity to customers in Asia• Huge upside potential with the Gulf of
Papua tenement portfolio covering 12,000+ km
• Potential to redefine alternative low cost iron feed stock for steel making in Asia

Copper & Gold – Porphyry Systems
EL2095 - Basilaki and Sideia Islands
Basilaki Island - Tunawada Porphyry Cu-Au Project *Historic exploration in the 1980’s demonstrated highly prospective copper and gold anomalies * Prospective multi-phase porphyry system, copper and gold defined within two separate zones * Extensive chlorite-sericite-pyrite-silica alteration system confirmed, implying greater for potential mineralisation
Sideia Island *10km long zone of high grade, narrow vein mineralised structures *High-grade (>10%) copper samples collected at Yamaloi and Magipota prospects *Mayur rock chips up to 16% Cu, 3.92 gt Au *Narrow vein copper mined in the late 1800’s, shafts and adits located by Mayur *Potential porphyry system at depth indicated by anomalous Molybdenum assays
Copper zone – Sideia Island. Gold in bedrock – Tunawada Prospect.

EL2095 – Basilaki Island – Tunawada Project
Basilaki Island - Tunawada Porphyry Cu-Au Project * 200m x 800m zone of >0.5 g/t gold-in-bedrock anomaly (see above image) * Historical rock chip results up to 239 g/t Au * Breccia zone with potential for high grade gold located by Mayur

Copper & Gold – Volcanic Arcs & Calderas
‘Lihir-style’ Caldera targets
Lihir Gold Mine• 65MOz @ 2g/t Au• Newcrest Mining Ltd• At $1600 / Oz = $104 Billion
in-ground value• Situated within a collapsed
volcanic caldera• Caldera 5km across• Hot steam coming out of
ground• Mayur’s intention is to
explore for similar style calderas in PNG
• Garove Island, Bali Island, and Rambutyo Islands all have completely unexplored collapsed calderas

‘Lihir-style’ Caldera target – Rambutyo Island
• Mayur has just completed our first Stream Sediment sampling
• Found 4 Stm Sed anomalies
• Best Mayur -80# Stm Sed result – a staggering 1070ppb Au
• Will follow-up with more Stm Sed sampling

Coal in PNG
A new frontier for Coal
Coal exploration project in PNG - consisting of 3 tenements in the Papuan Basin
Two granted tenements - ‘Gulf Central’ and ‘Gulf South’
One tenement under application - ‘Gulf North’
Total area under exploration 7,579 km²
Initial exploration programs completed and targets generated
Prospects for thermal coal identified in a number of locations
Very close proximity to access seaborne market
Senior team assembled with extensive experience in delivering early stage mineral development projects, in PNG and globally, with coal a particular strength.
