Takatokwane Coal Project (WKT earning ~67%)

7 billion tonne Inferred Resource of High Quality Thermal Grade Coal 748 million tonne Indicated Resource of Shallow, Consistent and Wide Seam Coal Identified 4 preferred mine start up areas Conducting Pre-feasibility Study for “Starter Mine” Conducting Pre-feasibility Study for CTG and CTL with funded technology partner

Signed Non Binding Exclusive HOA with Coal Beneficiation Co.

- LOM Coal Off Take- Coalswana to pay for PFS and BFS for entire process- WKT maintains export rights for coal ore

Coalswana will incrementally build Gasification, Liquification and other by-products including electricity, coke and fuel

Market Development Options

A) Long-Term offshore international export market

B) Short-Term regional market access and export through South Africa

C) Development of CTG and CTL capability

D) Coal fired power station and PPP

Market Options for 7bn Tonnes

A) Long-Term offshore international export market

1. India and other rapidly emerging economies heavily reliant on thermal coal

2. India, China and others have little alternative but coal fired power expansions

3. Southern Africa and India facing thermal coal import “cliff”

4. USA Infrastructure for export of surplus coal now reaching capacity

5. Requires infrastructure investment by others

Forecast International Thermal Coal Prices

Market Options for 7bn Tonnes

B) Short-Term regional market access and export through South Africa

1. Eskom Coal Cliff2. Export Capacity Richards

Bay3. Strategic National Initiative4. SA Infrastructure late in

developing5. Existing mines deeper and

more expensive 6. Eskom have established

more realistic long term demostic pricing model

9www.wkt.com.au

Market Options for 7bn Tonnes

C) Development of on-site CTG and CTL capability

Growth in CTG Process Capacity1. Botswana imports 100% of liquid

fuels2. Severe lack of power

infrastructure – remote and localised power opportunities

3. Mining and Industrialisation held back by power access

4. Export of by-products to Southern Africa

5. Initially being studied under partnership at no risk/cost to WKT

6. Requires significant de-risking

Coal by Road30 tonnes

Value ~ $3,000

Fuel by RoadVolume 50m3

value > $50,000

12www.wkt.com.au

Market Options for 7bn Tonnes

D) Coal Fired Power Market

1. Southern Africa very immature in terms of Private Power Producer concepts

2. Dominated by State Electical Utilities that work according politically sensitive pricing issues

3. Margins will remain tight with little consideration for business models

4. No high tension reticulation infrastructure available – cost constraint

5. Not attractive proposition for WKT

Location of prospective Kigoma Copper site

15www.wkt.com.au

Huge Copper Trap Systems

Kigoma has copper mineralisation of the Keweenaw Peninsula type of Michigan in the USA.

Keweenaw produced 7m tonnes of copper and 176m Oz of silver over a 150 years.

Flow top copper mineralisation accumulated by precipitation from solutions flowing through conduits occupying space between successive basaltic flows.

16www.wkt.com.au

Current Status at Kigoma Copper

• Drilled 3500m of 4000m reconnaissance RC campaign

• Copper appears to be structurally introduced and drops out upon the basalt and carbonate interface

• Have now identified 6 new targets for drilling

• Targeting mineralised sulphide

systems

• Significant copper and poly metallic region with rock samples of +20% Cu and 130g/t Ag

17www.wkt.com.au

Makete PGE

Historical Result - 17.6m at 4.9g/t 2PGE+Au intersected in drill hole NDH014, (including 1,7m @ 26.8 g/t)) in 2005.

Significant and widespread enrichment of Pt, Pd and Au occurs within large mafic and ultra-mafic body.

7 holes recorded intersections in excess of 1m at +3.5g/t 2 PGE+Au.

Undervalued Opportunity

WKT is a compelling, undervalued investment option

WKT offers significant upside at Kigoma – potentially an outstanding project

Takatokwane is already attracting the attention of energy players
