Alicia Project, 2011 drilling 2,000-metre reconnaissance drill program All 15 holes intersected Cu-Au mineralization Results include: Ø 21.2m true width @ 1.27% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au (ALC10-05 - ended in mineraliza@on at 88.7m core length) Ø 129.5m @ 0.33% Cu, 0.04 g/t Au (ALC10-08) Ø 134.0m @ 0.29% Cu, 0.03 g/t Au (ALC11-16) Ø 198.5m @ 0.16% Cu, 0.02 g/t Au (ALC11-17) 9
Alicia combined soil & rock geochemistry 3.6 km 10
Two key thresholds passed at Alicia 1. Is the system mineralized? ü 2011 drilling confirms robust values 2. Is there potential for size? ü 800m long north-west south-east trending mineralized zone in porphyry ü Soil sampling identified a broad copper anomaly defined by >1,000ppm Cu (0.1%) over more than 3.4 km 11
Teck Option Agreement Teck made $600,000 equity investment in Strait at $0.20/Unit To earn 45% Teck must spend $4 million over 2 years, plus exercise three million warrants at 25 (if in 2012) or 35 (if in 2013) To earn 65% Teck must spend a further $6 million and make cash payments to Strait Teck earns 75% after spending $30 million in total or completing pre-feasibility study 1
Plans for Alicia 6,000-metre drill program in 2012 Ø Test porphyry potential based on results of airborne geophysics and geochemistry Ø Initial 15 holes to be drilled on sections spaced 200 metres apart Ø Six holes in the central zone Ø Average depth 350-400 metres. 13
