  • KAPULO PROJECT
  • Strategic Joint Venture with Anvil Mining
  • Approximately 5,500km2 of contiguous tenure in
    DRC and Zambia
  • MWE can earn 65 by spending US4 million over
    four years
  • MWE can earn 51 by spending US2.7 million or
    defining a JORC compliant indicated resource of
    50,000t of copper at 4 - whichever comes first

5
  • Strategic agreement with Anvil allows MWE to work
    under Anvils Dikulushi Mining Convention.
    Potential fast track to production
  • DRC Government has established a modern Mining
    Code under the guidance of the World Bank has
    improved significantly the investment climate for
    mineral exploration and mining
  • Some of the worlds major resource companies are
    investing in new projects in the DRC eg Phelps
    Dodge - Tenke Fungurume - (547Mt_at_3.5 Cu, 0.27
    Co)

6
  • MINERALISATION
  • Numerous copper occurrences and at least one
    identified gold occurrence within the project
    area
  • Approximately 130km of strike along the regional
    Kapulo Shear Zone which hosts the Kapulo copper
    deposits (and many other Cu occurrences)
  • The Kapulo Copper deposits comprise three main
    zones Katanga, Safari North and Safari South
  • Recent channel and rock chip sampling by MWE
    confirmed the very high-grade nature of the
    deposits with 8m _at_ 11 Cu and over 30 Cu in rock
    samples

7
  • Kapulo Copper Deposits
  • The deposits are hosted in coarse grained
    Katangan sediments close to faulted contact with
    the Benguelan granite in the east
  • Main primary sulphide mineral is chalcopyrite,
    with varying amounts of chalcocite, bornite and
    on average grades from 5-7 Cu. Oxide enrichment
    has formed cuprite, native copper, azurite, and
    malachite with grades up to 31 Cu
  • RESOURCE
  • Explored by Simikat, Seremi, and Falconbridge,
    during the 1920s, 1950s, and 1970s, respectively
  • They calculated open ended resources (along
    strike and down dip) between 750,000t _at_ 4.7 Cu
    and 850,000t _at_ 5.8 Cu, to approx 50m depth
    (Approx 50,000Cu tonnes)
  • Estimates based on digging and systematic
    sampling of 386m of pits, 924m of open-cuts,
    4,168m of drifts and eight diamond drill holes
    totaling 2,055m
  • Disclaimer Due to the age of the exploration
    work the potential quantity and grade is of a
    conceptual nature, and as such cannot be used to
    define a Mineral Resource under the JORC Code. It
    is uncertain if further exploration will result
    in the determination of a Mineral Resource

8
  • POTENTIAL
  • Kapulo deposits open ended in all directions.
    Katanga deposit intersected in one deeper
    vertical drillhole 15m_at_4 Cu from 125m
  • Approx 130km of strike along regional fault zone
    hosting numerous other copper occurrences within
    the project area. Also other stratabound and vein
    style Cu and gold occurrences
  • Potential to host very significant copper tonnes

9
  • DEVELOPMENT
  • Preliminary scoping studies and metallurgical
    work undertaken by prior explorers. No
    metallurgical issues identified.
  • Strategic Partner (Anvil) already operating the
    high-grade Dikulushi Cu-Ag mine 130km to the
    southwest.
  • Anvil has established tried and tested
    concentrate supply route to market
  • Equity interest to be held in trust for local
    community. Similar arrangement at Anvils
    Dikulushi mine has proven success
  • Infrastructure and development continues to grow
    with majors committing to mining projects in the
    DRC
  • Attractive investment terms for foreign companies

10
  • KAPULO INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
  • Advanced high-grade copper project with
    open-ended non-JORC resources, potential fast
    track to production
  • Numerous other copper and gold occurrences for
    substantial resource expansion potential
  • Large 5,500km2 contiguous under-explored ground
    position
  • Established concentrate transportation methods,
    so low capex reqts
  • Strategic Joint Venture Partner Anvil Mining
  • Exposure to mineral investment hot-spot
  • Low mkt cap, focused and experienced management
    team, incl. DRC experience

Australian Projects Overview
GOLDEN MILE SOUTH PROJECT Golden Mile South Gold
Project (130km sq) is located 4km south of the
Kalgoorlie Super-pit (74m oz gold). Primarily
gold but potential for base metals including
nickel
MAYBELL GOLD PROJECT Mawson is 2nd largest land
holder in the Norseman district, centred on its
Maybell and Lord Percy Gold Projects. Resources

Golden Mile South Regional Setting
After GSWA 1999
  • One of the premier precious and base metal
    endowed regions in the world
  • Extensive tenement package (130sq km) with 75 -
    100 ownership by Mawson West

GMS Summary
  • Only 4km SE of the Kalgoorlie Superpit, and
    amazingly underexplored
  • Un-paralleled infrastructure several local
    operating mills, roads, railways, exploration
    services etc
  • Strategic Joint Venture with St Barbara Mines
    (proven under-cover explorers). SBM to spend min
    500k in 6 months, and 3M to earn 51, within 3
    years. SBM can elect to earn 70 by spending a
    further 2M in 2 years.
