Mundo Minerals A Snapshot
  • Australian-domiciled international gold company
  • Developing mid-sized gold projects in South
    America
  • Targeting low-cost, sustainable 250,000oz pa
    production base within 4-5 years

3
South America The Opportunity
  • Peru
  • 2nd largest minerals industry in South America
    after Chile
  • Favourable legislative and corporate law reforms
    completed in 1990s
  • Major investment in new mining projects underway
    US9 billion (2001-07)
  • Significant opportunities for Australian mining
    companies
  • Brazil
  • Well-established minerals industry
  • Significant growth potential (currently less than
    1 of GDP)
  • Dominated by large companies
  • Ministry of Mines and Energy aiming to triple
    mineral production to US25 billion by 2010
  • Highly prospective but underexplored

4
South America The Opportunity
  • Exploration Investment per Country
  • Brazil Australia
  • Total surface area (million sq km) 8.5 7.7
  • Archean Shield (million sq km) 2.5 1.2
  • Production (Au kg/sq km) 0.9 5.7

  • Robust economic parameters
  • Significant exploration upside 711ha tenement
    position
  • Early cash flow to support broader growth
    objectives in Latin America
  • Development fully funded following A18M capital
    raising

7
Engenho Project Overview
  • Located near Belo Horizonte (Brazils 3rd largest
    city)
  • Excellent regional infrastructure prolific
    Iron Quadrangle(gold, iron, manganese)
  • Positive BFS completed April 2007
  • Underground, owner-operator mining operation
  • Site works commencedApril 2007

Engenho Timetable to Production
  • Crusher commissioning August 2007
  • Mine development commences October 2007
  • Treatment plant commissioned March 2008
  • Production commences March 2008

16
Torrecillas Gold Project Overview
  • High-grade, narrow vein-style gold production
    opportunity
  • Acquired in April 2007 from private interests for
    US2M
  • Regional resource potential 500,000oz
  • Feasibility Study commenced April 2007
  • Targeting reserve base capable of sustaining
    50,000oz pa production within two years
  • Established mining region potential to secure
    additional opportunities

17
Torrecillas Gold Project Overview
  • Located 650km south-east of Lima
  • 9,000ha of tenements in two concessions
    (Torrecillas and Tumi)
  • Located within prolific Nazca-Ocunã gold belt
    numerous small-to-medium sized gold operations
  • Initial focus on high-gradevein system at
    Torrecillas
  • Strong in-country management and technical team
    in place

18
Torrecillas Project The Opportunity
  • Minor existing production from Surex Mine
    (Torrecillas Vein)
  • Average grade 30g/t Au over past 20 years
  • Multiple vein systems extending over 6km strike
    length
  • Only one vein system mined to date using
    primitive methods
  • Potential to establish modern underground mining
    operation with production from multiple ore
    surfaces
  • Exploration decline commencing August 2007
