Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties (known and unknown) that could cause actual outcomes to differ materiallyfrom those anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, such things as the volatility of prices for precious metals and base metals, commodity supplyand demand, fluctuations in currency and interest rates, inherent risks associated with the exploration and development of mining properties, ultimate recoverability of mineral reserves, timing, results andcosts of exploration and development activities, availability of financial resources or third-party financing, new laws (domestic or foreign), changes in administrative practices, changes in exploration plans orbudgets, and availability of equipment and personnel. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance upon the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation and such forward lookingstatements should not be interpreted or regarded as guarantees of future outcomes.

In particular, this presentation includes forward-looking information respecting: anticipated future operating information concerning the sulphide operation at Canatuan including the processing of copper andzinc concentrates and projected production, cash costs, cash flows and income; the use of cash generated from the sulphide operation at Canatuan to support exploration and development of other TVI projectsin the Philippines; the nature and timing of future development activities at Balabag; timing for future shipments of copper concentrates to MRI and the funds to be received from such shipments; the natureand timing of anticipated exploration activities on the near-mine tenements, EXPA 61, Balabag, Tamarok, Tapisa, Bonbon and the Company’s other properties in the Philippines; estimates regarding theCompany’s capital requirements and potential financing initiatives; the evaluation of joint venture and acquisition opportunities; and the Company’s ability to raise capital and to continually add to mineralreserves through acquisitions, exploration and development.

Forward-looking information respecting future operating information concerning the sulphide operation at Canatuan (including the processing of copper and zinc concentrates and projected production, cashcosts, cash flows and income) is based upon current mining and processing activities at Canatuan, the current throughput of the sulphide plant and anticipated expansions in throughput capacity, priorexperiences of management with mining and processing at Canatuan, the estimated copper and zinc mineralization of the sulphide zone at Canatuan the current development and operating plan for Canatuan,and the Company's current budget and overall strategy for Canatuan, which plans, budget and strategy are all subject to change.

Balabag• Balabag indicated and inferred resources from “43-101 Technical Report for the Mineral Resources at the Balabag Project of TVI Pacific Inc.” filed August 9, 2007 and

prepared by P.J. Lafleur Géo-Conseil Inc. Gold equivalent ounces calcaulated based on $650/oz gold & $13.50/oz silver.• Balabag scoping study from “Scoping Study of the Balabag Project” dated July 8, 2008 and prepared by Genivar Limited Partnership. The Balabag Scoping Study is

preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them thatwould enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the Balabag Scoping Study assessment will be realized and actual results may varysubstantially. Gold equivalent ounces calculated based on $650/oz gold and $13/oz silver for Base Case 1 and $900/oz gold and $17/oz silver for Base Case 2.
