coal.  Some producers converted from short tonnes to metric tonnes.

• The Elk Valley and Crowsnest coal fields offer one of the most compelling global opportunities to develop a coking coal project

• Low risk jurisdiction with well‐established rail and port infrastructure

• Operating cost structures in Canada have   become much more attractive than in Australia: 2012 unit costs were c.US$168/t for BHP vsUS$108/t for Teck

• Western Canada viewed as a diversified alternate supplier to Australia with a competitive shipping distance to the Asian market

• Teck is the world’s second largest seaborne supplier of metallurgical coal, based on its mines in the Elk Valley and Crowsnest coal fields

• During Q1 2013, Teck produced 6.2Mtfrom its five coking coal operations at FOB cost of C$83/t

• Jameson’s Crown Mountain project is one of the most advanced development assets in the region, with a positive PEA completed in April 2013

• Located only 14km by road from the main CP rail connecting to the deep water ports at Vancouver

• Project includes five coal licenses covering an area of 2,588 hectaresF

Crown Mountain  – Rail to Port

1010

No capacity constraints on rail networks and ports currently undergoing expansion

RAIL

• Crown Mountain located 14km by road to the Canadian Pacific rail line

• Common user railway linking southeast BC to deep water ports in Vancouver

• A new rail siding will be constructed adjacent to the rail that services three of Teck’s coal mine operations located further to the north

• Norwest has estimated a rail and port cost of $40/cmtfor all coal moved through Westshore Terminals

PORTS

• Westshore terminals currently expanding to 33Mtpa. Shipped 26Mt in 2012

• Neptune Terminal also undergoing expansion to 9 to 18.5Mtpa.  Teck has a controlling interest

Crown Mountain  – Mine Advance

11

• Low cost surface mining methods with raw strip ratio of 4.3:1 which is significantly lower than Teck

• Surface mine development will use the truck/excavator method.  Mining conditions at Crown Mountain will be similar to those at the nearby mines

• Plant situated adjacent to mine site to allow for low trucking cost and low refuse disposal cost

• Environmentally friendly spoil and plant refuse disposal methods being evaluated

• Clean coal stockpile and unit train load‐out situated along existing rail just 14km from site

• Exploration approval (Notice of Work) for the mid‐2013 field season was issued in May 2013

• Exploration activities are designed to better define coal quality and washability (2012 program was designed to determine the extent and nature of the resource) as a follow‐up to the 40 reverse circulation holes drilled in 2012

• Exploration program will include 5 large diameter core holes and up to 8 reverse circulation holes

• Coal quality test work including washability will be undertaken to determine plant yield and understand coking characteristics

• Baseline environmental field work continuing through the year

• Site preparation underway with drilling scheduled to commence in August 2013F

• Jameson has an exciting portfolio of metallurgical assets throughout Western Canada providing a highly compelling investment opportunity in the global coking coal sector

• Hard coking coal is a geologically scarce commodity and the majority of well‐endowed regions suffer from inadequate rail and port infrastructure or heightened sovereign risk

• All projects are in close proximity to under‐utilised infrastructure and established workforces that support mining

• Exploration at Dunlevy, Jameson’s key Peace River Project, has resulted in the identification of several coal seams ranging in thickness up to 3.5m

• Initial priority exploration target identified by an independent third party of at least 100 to 150 million tonnes of potential metallurgical coal based on only one seam

• Inaugural drilling program includes 6‐8 holes and will aim to establish number of seams, seam thickness and coal quality within the 8km x 4km priority target area

• Notice of Work application includes up to 35 holes that will allow fast tracking of a second phase of drilling following the initial program 

• Ministry of Mines has made significant steps towards granting Dunlevy tenure and the Notice of Work with approvals now expected to be issued early Q3
