Tungsten minor metal or “super          metal”


 Tungsten is 71% heavier than lead, durable,
 Tungsten melts at over 3422 degrees Celsius and boils at the
  temperature of the sun 5700 C
 Resists oxidation
 High tensile strength (411 Gpa)
 Low thermal expansion
 Brinell Hardness 2570




                                4
The Market

   80% market controlled by China
   60% of tungsten demand is tungsten carbide for cutting and boring tools
   20% as steel alloys
   15% wear products
   5% other
   Wonder metal used in innovation such as nuclear industry, aerospace, renewable energy.
   Expensive not toxic replacement for lead.




                                                5
Market dynamics China dominates APT

• China announced this week that no new tungsten mine
  development licences will be issued till mid next year
• 2008 China imposed export controls and taxes on all tungsten
  products (indicating the reserves may be not what we think)
• China is a net importer of tungsten, buying concentrate to
  feed the hungry APT plants that have an over capacity.
• China are becoming involved in most tungsten projects
  outside of China
• 2002 China withdrew from selling concentrates as it makes no
  sense to sell concentrates.

Muguk Gold Project

Description
   Mineralisation occurs in steeply dipping, en echelon quartz veins within Jurassic granodiorite:
      Veins fill numerous N-NW trending fractures dipping at 70-85° to E-NE;
      Veins extend discontinuously along strike for 400-2,000m on surface; and
      Veins extend down dip to depths of up to 800m.
   Historic mining restricted to few veins:
      Samhyungje, and to a lesser extent Keumryong and No’s 2, 7 and 8
   KORES resource largely restricted to Samhyungje Vein below 400m depth
      Secondary veins and depth extensions to be evaluated
   Significant development in place to 600m depth
      Historic adits/shafts to be assessed for mine access

Why Woulfe
         –   Large asset with minimum of 15 years life.

         –   Market cap C$38 million, 21 cents per share

         –   Scoping study indicates a value at an 8% discount of NPV 462 million.

         –   183 million shares , equates to $2.50 per share, some 12 times the current share price. Noting that the
 Value
             resources are inferred and the scoping is typically within 30% the value still remains substantial.

         –   Scoping only considered 45% of the inferred resource and diluted it by 15% at zero grade.

         –   Scoping assumed new mine infrastructure and ignored all existing underground infrastructure



         –   Current resource grades are considered conservative, drilling and block modelling has a potential
             produce an upgrade in grade as the level of confidence is improved.

         –   Tungsten markets are tightening as China has restricted exports and imposed taxes. APT demand is

Growth       increasing and the supply side has barriers to development. Sangdong is well positioned to be the
             worlds next large tungsten mine as it has infrastructure and underground development in place.

         –   Sangdong is well placed to be commissioned in 2013 which will coincide with the high tungsten prices
             as market friction and barriers that other projects have to development.




                                                     20

  • 3. Disclaimer Statements in this presentation other than purely historical information, including statements relating to Woulfe Mining’s future plans, objectives or expected results, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions and are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in Woulfe Mining’s business, including risks inherent in mineral exploration and development. As a result, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Note that Woulfe Mining refers to historical resource estimates in this presentation. Source, date, relevance, reliability and explanations on categories are presented with the historical estimates. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical resources as current mineral resources. The issuer is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources and the historical estimates should not be relied upon. This PowerPoint presentation was prepared to assist interested parties in making their own assessment of Woulfe Mining and its mineral properties, and does not purport to contain all of the information that a prospective investor may desire. In all cases, interested parties should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the Company, its assets and the information provided in this presentation. Any and all statements, forecasts, projections and estimates contained in this presentation are based on management’s current knowledge and no representation or warranty is made as to their accuracy and/or reliability. Unless otherwise stated, all resource and reserve estimates in the document are historical in nature and do not comply with the current NI 43-101 reporting standards.
  • 4. Tungsten minor metal or “super metal”  Tungsten is 71% heavier than lead, durable,  Tungsten melts at over 3422 degrees Celsius and boils at the temperature of the sun 5700 C  Resists oxidation  High tensile strength (411 Gpa)  Low thermal expansion  Brinell Hardness 2570 4
  • 5. The Market  80% market controlled by China  60% of tungsten demand is tungsten carbide for cutting and boring tools  20% as steel alloys  15% wear products  5% other  Wonder metal used in innovation such as nuclear industry, aerospace, renewable energy.  Expensive not toxic replacement for lead. 5
  • 6. Market dynamics China dominates APT • China announced this week that no new tungsten mine development licences will be issued till mid next year • 2008 China imposed export controls and taxes on all tungsten products (indicating the reserves may be not what we think) • China is a net importer of tungsten, buying concentrate to feed the hungry APT plants that have an over capacity. • China are becoming involved in most tungsten projects outside of China • 2002 China withdrew from selling concentrates as it makes no sense to sell concentrates. 6
  • 7. Challenge and down stream processing Value of Tungsten standardised to 100% 35000 133% 30000 67% US$ per Tonne 25000 41% 69% 20000 15000 Carbide Oxide APT Concentrate 10000 7
  • 8. Tungsten Market  Applications – Metal-cutting tools, drill bits, high temperature alloys, military use and chemical applications.  Consumers – 1. China(largest growth), 2. Europe, 3. North America. India has an emerging demand.  Production - 81,200 tonnes Tungsten per annum,  Forecast - 109,328 tonnes by 2012. (2% growth per year, 2190 t/y)  Woulfe sees APT prices reaching US$250 in 18 months and higher in the medium term , easing on the long term 8

  • 20. Why Woulfe – Large asset with minimum of 15 years life. – Market cap C$38 million, 21 cents per share – Scoping study indicates a value at an 8% discount of NPV 462 million. – 183 million shares , equates to $2.50 per share, some 12 times the current share price. Noting that the Value resources are inferred and the scoping is typically within 30% the value still remains substantial. – Scoping only considered 45% of the inferred resource and diluted it by 15% at zero grade. – Scoping assumed new mine infrastructure and ignored all existing underground infrastructure – Current resource grades are considered conservative, drilling and block modelling has a potential produce an upgrade in grade as the level of confidence is improved. – Tungsten markets are tightening as China has restricted exports and imposed taxes. APT demand is Growth increasing and the supply side has barriers to development. Sangdong is well positioned to be the worlds next large tungsten mine as it has infrastructure and underground development in place. – Sangdong is well placed to be commissioned in 2013 which will coincide with the high tungsten prices as market friction and barriers that other projects have to development. 20
