the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves, results of exploration activities and studies, the realization of mineral resource estimates, exploration activities, costs and timing of the

development of new deposits, the acquisition of additional mineral resources, the results of future exploration and drilling, costs and timing of future exploration of the mineral projects, requirements

for additional capital, management’s skill and knowledge with respect to the exploration and development of mining properties, government regulation of mining operations and exploration

operations, timing and receipt of approvals and licences under mineral legislation, the Company’s local partners, and environmental risks and title disputes. In certain cases, forward-looking

statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “believes”, or variations

(including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking

statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Fura to be materially different from any future results,

general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities; risks associated with dependence on key members of management;

assumptions, including: that contracted parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes; that on-going contractual negotiations will be successful and progress and/or be completed

in a timely manner; that no unusual geological or technical problems occur; that plant and equipment work as anticipated and that there is no material adverse change in the price of emeralds and

rubies. Although Fura has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may

be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this presentation.

There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly,

readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

Opportunity - Why Mozambican Rubies?

7

Mozambique - Ruby

Market Opportunity

World’s Largest Ruby supplier by Volume and increasing

Mozambique set to fill in the void created by Burmese rubies given its capability to supply Across the Quality Spectrum

Political Stability

Government support to promote the sector

Mining law attractive for foreign investors

One party rule since 1975

Low Mining Costs

Low stripping ratio for both secondary gravel and primary amphibolite

Infrastructure support

Good roads leading to mining areas

Easy access to the airports

Electricity available

Did you know? - Rubies are much rarer than other precious stones

World Supply of Cut and Polished Gemstones per Year:

Rubies - 3 Million Carats

Emeralds - 5 Million Carats

Diamonds - 50 Million Carats

The Ruby market remains largely unorganised

• Opportunity for a major player with experience and capital to structure and

systemise the market - as De Beers has done with Diamonds

Ethical and sustainable sourcing is becoming an important factor for suppliers and

retailers

• Opportunity to implement comprehensive CSR practises and coordinate

health, safety and wellbeing initiatives for workers

Gemfields is the only player in the market

• Opportunity to enter a market where the only incumbent company cannot

satisfy the entire market

Mozambique Rubies fill a gap left by depleted Burmese deposits

• Opportunity to be one of the first players to enter a strategically important

market for global Ruby supply during its early stages of growth

Opportunity - Why Colombian Emeralds?

8

Colombia - Emeralds

Rich Market

World’s Largest Emerald supplier by Volume

Responsible for 50% of world’s emerald value supply

Readily Available Opportunity

Readily available licenses

An opportunity to bargain the best prices and develop projects that would strongly and strategically position the company globally

Quality

Brand ‘Colombia’ has Higher Value per Carat compared to its Zambian and Brazilian competition

Under-utilised Sector with Scope to Add Value

Colombia presents a Highly Undercapitalized with little local knowledge and needs experienced knowhow

Collapse of Colombian Emerald production creates unique opportunity for experienced, organized players.

Local community looking for

emeralds from waste

Emerald picking after

washing

Workers washing the ore

for emeralds (No washing

plant)

Waste is taken out for

dumping

Colombian economy relies heavily on Emerald mining - yet the industry is largely

fragmented and driven mostly by local communities

• Has led to significant undercapitalisation & lack of technological expertise - leaving

the sector vastly undervalued

Colombia has seen a dramatic fall in

Emerald Production since its peak

in 2004, whilst value of exports has

remained constant

Mozambique Ruby – Asset Mineralogy

Asset MineralogyClassification:

Red gem variety of Corundum (AL2O3)

Unique features:

Hardness: 9 on mohs scale (diamond 10)

Rarity: Large transparent rubies even rare than diamonds of same size and comparable

quality

Formation:

A corundum is formed when solutions rich in Alumina (AL2O3) intrudes a host rock rich

in chromium (Cr),iron (Fe) and vanadium (V)

Chromium is the colour agent and the amount of chromium present determines how

intense the red is

Primary deposits mining involves mining rubies from the host rocks (amphibolite) where

they are formed.

Secondary deposits are made up of gem crystals separated from host rocks. These are

classified by the way they been transported (e.g.. deposits carried by river are called

placers/alluvial) or the place of deposit.

An Iconic mines, in existence since 1646 and been traditionally mined till date

In 1966, 95% of the world market for emeralds depended on Colombia and dominated

by Coscuez

The mine has been traditionally developed with no investment in geology, infrastructure

and long term plans

The ore resource at Coscuez mine is tentatively estimated to be in excess of 2

million tonnes in the first 300m below La Paz level.

FURA acquired 76% interest in Coscuez

Indicated Ore Resource Coscuez

• As per the Esmeracol report, the ore resource at

Coscuez mine is tentatively estimated to be in excess

of 2 million tonnes in the first 300m below La Paz

level. ( not verified).

• 3D ore body model is only carried out between 0 and -

120m levels of La Paz operation and extrapolated for

a vertical height of 300m from the La Paz entrance

level. Assuming a specific gravity of 2.4 for wet

carbonaceous shale and a grade of 1-2 ct/t .

• Systematic and scientific study will increase this

resource many fold as only a very small portion of the

Licence has been considered.

• Systematic mining started a decade ago in Coscuez

as an open pit, but closed subsequently due to

change on mining regulations

• At present, the underground mining method is used

and have 36 tunnel entrances with more than 25

line km of cumulative development. 80% of the

entrances are now closed or inaccessible either due

to high temperature inside or due to unsafe /poor

stability conditions.

• The mine currently has more than 25 levels of

underground workings. The key one is La Paz

underground operation- has 10 production levels

from 0 level to 125m level. The main tunnel 1.5km

long.

• Emerald mineralisation is occurring within the Muzo

formation, which has a sleep deeping vertical body
