ENTRYINTOMYANMAR RATIONALE
Changes to mining law and in Indonesiatriggered the need to look elsewhere forprospective gold exploration projects
Centurion management had existing contacts inMyanmar from previous business relationships
Compelling geology of the region Lifting of sanctions ability to be first-mover
exploration company Increased opportunities Myanmar open to
foreign investment
MINERALEXPLORATIONHISTORYINMYANMAR1995-1998: Myanmar First Dynasty Mines Ltd. Newmont Ivanhoe (until 2002) BHP Mandalay Mining company NL
1998-2012: Hiatus of exploration and mining by Western companies Private Chinese and other Euro-Asian companies are active in mining Myanmar companies acquire advanced exploration properties and mines left by foreign
companies or sold by the state Decline in gold outputs Untapped gold and base metals No systematic exploration
2012 and Going Forward: US, Canadian and western governments encourage mining companies to invest in Myanmar Opportunities to discover world-class deposits and participate in expanding and upgrading existing mines New Minister of Mines welcomes foreign mining companies

MININGLAWINMYANMAR
Foreign companies able to apply for exploration and exploitation licenses, but are encouraged to partner with Myanmar companies;
All licenses are issued by the central government, with recommendation from regional authorities;
Exploration license is valid up to 4 years, and mining up to 20 years
BUSINESSSTRATEGIES
Two potential investment strategies areconcurrently underway:
Acquire mineral concessions directly from theGovernment Available for joint venture with mid-tier companies Conduct exploration on own
Partner with existing local mining companiescurrently operating in the region

Myanmars three key goals:
1. Job creation: Myanmar seeks to provide jobs for its population through a market-oriented economy and manufacturing-led industrial employment
2. Sustainable growth: Myanmar wants to achieve sustainable economic development Example: Myanmar suspended the construction of Myitsone Dam (Joint Sino-Myanmar hydroelectric power
development project on the Irrawaddy River) due to the negative impact on the communities and environment
3. Re-engagement of the international economic community: The Thein Sein administration is keen on attracting foreign participation in new industrial projects

Underdeveloped financial system
Project and Trade financing within Myanmar are limited and might continue to be until sanctions are fully lifted which shall allow banks to better assess Myanmars risk
Repatriation of money out of Myanmar is a controlled affair, it could be a longer process that normal
Lack of infrastructure
Insufficient telecommunication infrastructure and coverage
Significant power shortages, especially outside major metropolitan areas
Pace of reform
Myanmars growth depends on the speed of political reforms
Myanmar has been isolated for a long period, business culture may be different with Western norms
Politics
Progress is dependent on The Thein Seinadministrations commitment to reforms for the long-term
Risks

Myanmar the new Mongolia
Natural Resources
Large stock of unexplored metals and soft commodities
Substantial reserves of relatively untapped natural resources, including:
Minerals, Manganese, Tungsten
Gold, Copper, Zinc, Tin, Nickel, Lead
Ore
Coal
Soft commodities: e.g. timber, teak, rosewood
Precious gems: e.g. rubies and jade
Geography Matters
Strategically located: Myanmar links Southeast Asia, China and the Indian sub-continent
Well established trade channels link Myanmar to China, Singapore, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and India, further regional links are being developed
Access to major Indian Ocean shipping lanes, developing deep-sea ports to optimize its potential
Natural Resources Opportunities
35

71
Key Parameters
Large stock of unexplored oil & gas opportunities, including: Oil & gas (predominantly natural gas which accounts for >90% of
remaining reserves), oilfield services
Significant potential for refining sector development
Major Shwe and Zawtika fields aim to be brought on-stream in 2013
Current gas production predominantly exported to Thailand
Myanmar-China onshore pipeline development has opened an export market to China
Domestic energy demand is expected to grow quickly following easing of international sanctions
Nine onshore blocks were awarded in a 2011 onshore license round, further on/offshore rounds are expected in 2013

Financial Services Power Generation Industrials Ports & Logistics
Multi-sector Opportunities
Myanmars sectors that require development
Easing of sanctions is likely to fuel growth in the financial sector
Economic development shall give rise to demand for trade credit and financing
The Central Bank of Myanmar lists 19 private banks in the country, these banks still operate under tight restrictions, limiting private sectors access to credit
Value to be unlocked through credit provision and technology upgrades; as business grows, a developed and more capable stock exchange is likely
Demand for technology for integrated electronic systems, ATM networks and banking security shall increase
Banking sector liberalisationexpected in 2015 with opportunities in banking, insurance, trade finance, microcredit
Power blackouts are common
Myanmars power consumption stands at 103.7kWh per capital; in comparison, Vietnams power consumption is at 917kWh per capita
Requires power to fuel industrialisation as well as provide power to residential areas
Myanmars energy demand peaks in the summer months at 1,850MW. The country depends almost entirely on hydroelectric plants for its base load. Current capacity of the hydroelectric plants is at 1,340MW
Opportunities for solar power, oil & gas, electric, renewable energy companies
The country had a thriving garment industry prior to the imposition of international sanctions
Looking to attract foreign investors with tax breaks and exemptions targeted at the manufacturing sector
Low-cost manufacturing base, as it operates with low overheads and wage rates
Opportunities for machinery, equipment and construction companies to build roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, offices and residential housing
Around 300,000 TEUs and 16.7 million tonnes, accounting for close to 100% of Myanmars cargo, pass through the ports of Yangon and Thilawa
Infrastructure construction and industrial activity are likely to pick up
Demand for both bulk cargo and liquid bulk cargo ports to handle the import of petroleum products for inbound distribution is high
Opportunities for engineering, construction, logistic services, freight storage

Hospitality IT/Communications Agriculture
Multi-Sector Opportunities (Contd)
Myanmars sectors that require development
Agriculture AgricultureConsumer
Southeast Asian Games in 2013 and Myanmars ASEAN chairmanship in 2014, tourist arrivals are expected to increase three-fold from 300,000 to one million per year
Opportunities range from heritage redevelopments in the city centre, need for serviced apartments, business hotels and retail
Huge tourism potential given the countrys historic sites, landscape and beaches
Telecommunications and internet access is likely to become widespread within Myanmar as the government seeks to develop its information and communications infrastructure
Current mobile penetration rate is 1.5% and internet penetration rate is at 0.2%
Myanmar plans to release four more telecommunications licenses for both domestic and foreign investors
Opportunities for wireless carriers, mobile phone companies, internet service providers
Expecting 90+ applicants for cell phone license
Accounts for 43% of the countrys GDP, 17% of its export earnings
Two-thirds of the population is employed in this sector
The Myanmar agriculture is in desperate need of modernization and productivity improvement
Opportunities for companies to introduce new technologies and implement new farming methods
Logistics, manufacturing of food processing plants and equipment
Last untapped consumer market in Asia with a population of over 65 million people
Non-discretionary growth will be followed by discretionary consumer segment build-out
First multinationals have started significant investment program, e.g. Coca Cola, Dole, PepsiCo
Opportunities for both international retailers and consumer products companies
