3 18 years of company-building field experience Exceptional exploration successes For almost a generation, Ivanplats has been effectively developing its core strengths in Africa s mineral fields. Launched in 1994 as African Gold and began exploring in South Africa. Active in Democratic Republic of Congo since US$255 million from private financings invested in projects to end of Japanese investors, led by trading house Itochu, invested US$290 million for a 10% stake in the Platreef PGM Discovery in South Africa.

5 Successful IPO and TSX listing in October 2012 marked a new beginning for Ivanplats In October 2012, Ivanplats began trading on the TSX following a successful IPO that raised CDN$306 million (US$308 million). Total equity issued in connection with IPO was CDN$499 million (US$501 million), including conversion into common shares of CDN$193 million in pre-ipo bonds. Largest Canadian mining IPO since 2010.

A 1% Cu cut-off grade is typical of analogue deposits in Zambia.

High-grade open down-dip to east; open along strike to south. 58,000 metres of drilling planned & budgeted Q Q Note: Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define such Exploration Targets as Mineral Resources. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in these Exploration Targets being delineated as Mineral Resources.

Scalable production: Potential mining rate of up to 20 Mtpa. Note: The Preliminary Economic Assessment is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the projected results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment will be realized. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. 1. Average first 10 years of production 2. Average first 10 years cash cost after acid credits (before credits $1.19/lb Cu) 3. After-tax NPV, discounted at 10%, assuming a long term copper price of $2.85/lb and $3.50/lb, respectively

33 Kipushi Zinc-Copper Project Past-producing high-grade zinc-copper mine. Focused on defining prospective Big Zinc deposit. Underground access available for redevelopment. Historical Resource Estimate Tonnage (Mt) Zinc Grade Copper Grade Measured & Indicated % 2.3% - including Big Zinc deposit % 0.8% Inferred % 1.9% Historical cut-off: Low grade: 1% < copper < 2% and 7% < zinc < 14%. Waste: copper < 1% and zinc < 7%. Note: A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify these historical estimates as current Mineral Resources and Ivanplats is not treating such historical estimates as current Mineral Resources. Historical resource estimate by Techpro Mining and Metallurgy in 1997.
