Platinum is still in surplus, but rising mining costs and improving
sentiment in autos in particular should support prices

 Platinum’s surplus (prior to ETF investment activity) is increasing due to:
   A recovery in South African production.
   Increasing supply from other areas including automotive scrap
   The recent falls in automotive demand, which will take a long time to be recouped
   Bullish longer-term fundamentals (non-OECD demand vs. maturing supply).

Global platinum inventories are estimated to have fallen by 2.4 million
ounces since the start of 1999

 This is equivalent to roughly 24 weeks’ demand
   But the market has been able accommodate new ETF instruments as the balance has shifted into surplus
   And there is plenty of liquidity in the market
   With one month lease rates below 0.5%, and twelve months below 2%

ETF net investment has taken up over a third of a million ounces of
platinum so far this year, augmenting demand by an ~15%

 Although this interest has been distorted by the new ETF in New York
   Platinum ETFs have absorbed approximately 330,000 ounces so far this year
   With some small attrition in the ETF Securities London-listed funds, a slight increase in ZKB and over 330,000 ounces into the New
    York ETF
   If this rate of accrual were to continue then ETFs would more than absorb this year’s industrial surplus, but this looks doubtful

 This is starting to look top-heavy and may point towards a short term price correction
   This position is equivalent to 18% of one year’s industrial demand
   And the gross long position is just off a record level and comprises 41% of total open interest, vs a 38% average over the past
    fifteen months

 South Africa’s major producers continue to watch the purse-strings
   Although the major producers are running cost profiles lower than prevailing prices, their balance sheets have been under strain
   And the Eskom price increases will contribute to roughly 10% per annum cost increases
   This is unlikely – barring any extreme problems from external causes such as power loss – to affect output plans, but is likely to
    continue to defer marginal expansion programmes

 Platinum use in autocats contracted sharply in the global downturn
   And while recovering, will lose market share to palladium as Europe, which is platinum-intensive, continues to struggle
   Especially by comparison with the recoveries elsewhere and the strength in China
   Jewellery demand has rebounded, but now needs to consolidate and may struggle at higher prices

 China’s jewellery demand rebounded last year and was almost certainly the second highest year on record
   But conditions slowed in late 2009 and the market is now consolidating in response to higher prices
   The country’s robust auto sector is underpinning its platinum demand, but is more important for palladium
   While the country’s economic growth is supporting demand in the glass and other sectors, suggesting that China is now likely to be
    the world’s second largest platinum consumer behind Europe

 Palladium demand in the auto sector is likely to grow by more than 10% this year
   The Chinese auto market is not yet mature and new emission control limits are being rolled out across the country
   The industry is gasoline fuelled in the main and therefore much more reliant on palladium
   While it must not be forgotten that palladium is also now taking market share from platinum in the diesel sector

 Price recoveries have been driven by an improving economic outlook
   With palladium especially boosted by the auto and electronic sectors
   While platinum has been boosted by improving jewellery (allied to reduced scrap return)
   But the majority of the recovery is now out of the way and there is a case for a mild retraction in prices

Safe Harbor
 The following presentation may include certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States
 Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian Securities Laws. All statements, other than statements of
 historical fact, included in the presentation, including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and
 reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of RX Exploration Inc., are forward-looking statements.
 Words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “intend”, “believe” and other similar expressions are
 forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and conditions but rather
 reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors,
 and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. There can be no
 assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate.

 Some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed under
 the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents filed from time to time with the Canadian provincial securities
 regulators. We base our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us and we do not assume any
 obligation to update them, except as required by law.

 An additional Cautionary Note to Investors – In the event that we use certain terms in this presentation, such as
 “resource”, “measured resource”, “indicated resource” and “inferred resource”. U.S investors are cautioned that, while such
 terms are recognized and required by Canadian Securities Laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
 does not recognize them. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the
 determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time
 the reserve determination has been made. U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of measured or indicated
 resources will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to
 their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Accordingly, information concerning
 descriptions of mineralization in this presentation may not be comparable to information made public by companies that are
 subject to the SEC’s Industry Guide 7.

Mining Strategy - 2010
   Bulk sampling, leading to trial mining, will target ore from two key areas of the
    Drumlummon Mine (D Block and Charly Vein)

   Both areas are being developed by drifting, followed by trial stoping

   Currently taking bulk sample with a target grade of over 10 g/t gold and 400
    g/t silver

   Contracted trucking fleet already shipping ore to mill

   Company is processing a series of 100+ ton bulk samples to fine tune existing
    gravity and flotation circuits (Metallurgy lab tests showed gold recovery of 92%)

   Bulk sampling in May 2010 estimated at a rate of 200 tons per day increasing
    to trial mining at a rate of 500 tons per day by Q1 2011

   Ore to be shipped to RX’s leased mill, at Philipsburg, for processing
                                                                                   10
Drumlummon Development Vision
    Mine development will expand from existing workings – drilling will
    extend the target envelope, with follow up from rehabilitated workings

Bulk Sampling and Exploration Schedule




                                         16
Property Exploration of Resource Potential
   Objectives : Consolidate medium-term mine plan and drill/drift on multi-
    million ounce gold/silver potential along strike and at depth

   Continue exploration of D Block, Charly Vein and newly discovered
    mineralization to upgrade known resource
      Charly vein remains open to the north, south and at depth; may
       represent the extension of the partially mined high-grade Xmas Vein.

   New drill stations in the hanging wall of the Charly vein enables exploration
    of new and existing targets laterally as well as at depth

   Continue rehabilitating historical workings over 1500 m. to the south in
    order to access and drill “Previously Disputed Ground” and beyond
      This ground was never mined due to the historic claim dispute



   Additional land has been acquired in the vicinity of the mine for future
    exploration
      Specifically the Bald Butte Moly/gold/silver property located 5 km to the
        SW


                                                                                    17
Permitting and Community Relations
   RX has received all permits and exemptions required
                       for production:

       Approval of exploration license including water discharge by the
        Montana Department of Environmental Quality

       Approval of small miner exemption which permits the company to
        mine so long as surface operations do not exceed five acres

       Approval of the alternative mine rescue capabilities by the U.S.
        Mine Safety and Health Administration

       Approval of the ventilation, escape and evacuation plan by the
        U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration

   RX has been conducting regular Town Hall meetings to encourage
    community involvement and has addressed all of the concerns of the
    people of Marysville
                                                                           18
RX Exploration : Programs to Add Value
                        Develop the Drumlummon mine
                         plan systematically, at a
                         sustainable rate for short, medium
                         and long term profitable
                         operations
                        Step up mine production over
                         time to match the 1,000 ton per
                         day Phillpsburg mill capacity while
                         maintaining grade and recoveries
                        Consolidate existing resources
                         and their extensions, and convert
                         to formal 43-101 reserves
                        Aggressively drill to test multi-
                         million ounce gold/silver potential
                         using the first class access down
                         to 500 metres depth and for over
                         1.5 kilometres in length

Objective Capital Precious Metals, Diamonds and Gemstones Investment Summit: Panel Discussion: Outlook for the Precious Metals Markets - David Wilson

  • 1. PRECIOUS METALS, DIAMONDS & GEMSTONES INVESTMENT SUMMIT 2.00 – 2.40 Panel Discussion: Outlook for the Precious Metals Markets David Wilson – Director - Metals Research, Société Générale Bill Fisher – Director, RX Exploration Inc David Hargreaves – CEO, Fair Trade Gemstones THE LONDON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY ● THURSDAY, 20 MAY 2010 www.ObjectiveCapitalConferences.com
  • 2. An overview of Platinum market drivers May 2010 David Wilson Director – Metals Research david.wilson@sgcib.com +44 (0)20-7762-5384 Important Notice: The circumstances in which this publication has been produced are such that it is not appropriate to characterise it as independent investment research as referred to in European MIF directive and that it should be treated as a marketing material even if it contains a CONFIDENTIAL research recommendation (« recommandation d’investissement à caractère promotionnel »).
  • 3. 2 Platinum is still in surplus, but rising mining costs and improving sentiment in autos in particular should support prices 000 oz 000 oz 10 000 1200 9 000 800 8 000 400 7 000 0 6 000 -400 5 000 -800 4 000 -1200 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010F 2011F S upply Demand Balance, rh scale Source: GFMS & SG Cross Asset Research  Platinum’s surplus (prior to ETF investment activity) is increasing due to:  A recovery in South African production.  Increasing supply from other areas including automotive scrap  The recent falls in automotive demand, which will take a long time to be recouped  Bullish longer-term fundamentals (non-OECD demand vs. maturing supply).
  • 4. 3 Global platinum inventories are estimated to have fallen by 2.4 million ounces since the start of 1999 0 35 -500 30 -1000 25 -1500 -2000 20 -2500 15 -3000 10 -3500 5 -4000 -4500 0 1999 2003 2007 2011F 000 ounces weeks' demand Source: GFMS & SG Cross Asset Research  This is equivalent to roughly 24 weeks’ demand  But the market has been able accommodate new ETF instruments as the balance has shifted into surplus  And there is plenty of liquidity in the market  With one month lease rates below 0.5%, and twelve months below 2%
  • 5. 4 ETF net investment has taken up over a third of a million ounces of platinum so far this year, augmenting demand by an ~15% 000 oz 1 200 1 000 800 600 400 200 0 Apr-07 Apr-08 Apr-09 Apr-10 ETF ZKB ETF NY Source: GFMS & SG Cross Asset Research  Although this interest has been distorted by the new ETF in New York  Platinum ETFs have absorbed approximately 330,000 ounces so far this year  With some small attrition in the ETF Securities London-listed funds, a slight increase in ZKB and over 330,000 ounces into the New York ETF  If this rate of accrual were to continue then ETFs would more than absorb this year’s industrial surplus, but this looks doubtful
  • 6. 5 Net speculative platinum positions on NYMEX reached a record in mid- April at 1.38 million ounces 000 oz 1 600 1 400 1 200 1 000 800 600 400 200 0 Jan-03 Jan-04 Jan-05 Jan-06 Jan-07 Jan-08 Jan-09 Jan-10 -200 Source: CFTC & SG Cross Asset Research  This is starting to look top-heavy and may point towards a short term price correction  This position is equivalent to 18% of one year’s industrial demand  And the gross long position is just off a record level and comprises 41% of total open interest, vs a 38% average over the past fifteen months

Safe Harbor The following presentation may include certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian Securities Laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in the presentation, including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of RX Exploration Inc., are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “intend”, “believe” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and conditions but rather reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents filed from time to time with the Canadian provincial securities regulators. We base our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us and we do not assume any obligation to update them, except as required by law. An additional Cautionary Note to Investors – In the event that we use certain terms in this presentation, such as “resource”, “measured resource”, “indicated resource” and “inferred resource”. U.S investors are cautioned that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian Securities Laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination has been made. U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization in this presentation may not be comparable to information made public by companies that are subject to the SEC’s Industry Guide 7. 3
