6www.wkt.com.au Takatokwane Coal Project (WKT earning ~67%) 7 billion tonne Inferred Resource of High Quality Thermal Grade Coal 748 million tonne Indicated Resource of Shallow, Consistent and Wide Seam Coal Identified 4 preferred mine start up areas Conducting Pre-feasibility Study for “Starter Mine” Conducting Pre-feasibility Study for CTG and CTL with funded technology partner Signed Non Binding Exclusive HOA with Coal Beneficiation Co. - LOM Coal Off Take - Coalswana to pay for PFS and BFS for entire process - WKT maintains export rights for coal ore Coalswana will incrementally build Gasification, Liquification and other by-products including electricity, coke and fuel Market Development Options A) Long-Term offshore international export market B) Short-Term regional market access and export through South Africa C) Development of CTG and CTL capability D) Coal fired power station and PPP Market Development Options A) Long-Term offshore international export market B) Short-Term regional market access and export through South Africa C) Development of CTG and CTL capability D) Coal fired power station and PPP
7
7www.wkt.com.au Market Options for 7bn Tonnes A) Long-Term offshore international export market 1.India and other rapidly emerging economies heavily reliant on thermal coal 2.India, China and others have little alternative but coal fired power expansions 3.Southern Africa and India facing thermal coal import “cliff” 4.USA Infrastructure for export of surplus coal now reaching capacity 5.Requires infrastructure investment by others Forecast International Thermal Coal Prices
8
8www.wkt.com.au Market Options for 7bn Tonnes B) Short-Term regional market access and export through South Africa 1.Eskom Coal Cliff 2.Export Capacity Richards Bay 3.Strategic National Initiative 4.SA Infrastructure late in developing 5.Existing mines deeper and more expensive 6.Eskom have established more realistic long term demostic pricing model
9
9www.wkt.com.au Market Options for 7bn Tonnes C) Development of on-site CTG and CTL capability Growth in CTG Process Capacity 1.Botswana imports 100% of liquid fuels 2.Severe lack of power infrastructure – remote and localised power opportunities 3.Mining and Industrialisation held back by power access 4.Export of by-products to Southern Africa 5.Initially being studied under partnership at no risk/cost to WKT 6.Requires significant de-risking

12
12www.wkt.com.au Market Options for 7bn Tonnes D) Coal Fired Power Market 1.Southern Africa very immature in terms of Private Power Producer concepts 2.Dominated by State Electical Utilities that work according politically sensitive pricing issues 3.Margins will remain tight with little consideration for business models 4.No high tension reticulation infrastructure available – cost constraint 5.Not attractive proposition for WKT

14www.wkt.com.au Location of prospective Kigoma Copper site
15
15www.wkt.com.au Huge Copper Trap Systems Kigoma has copper mineralisation of the Keweenaw Peninsula type of Michigan in the USA. Keweenaw produced 7m tonnes of copper and 176m Oz of silver over a 150 years. Flow top copper mineralisation accumulated by precipitation from solutions flowing through conduits occupying space between successive basaltic flows.
16
16www.wkt.com.au Current Status at Kigoma Copper Drilled 3500m of 4000m reconnaissance RC campaign Copper appears to be structurally introduced and drops out upon the basalt and carbonate interface Have now identified 6 new targets for drilling Targeting mineralised sulphide systems Significant copper and poly metallic region with rock samples of +20% Cu and 130g/t Ag
17
17www.wkt.com.au Makete PGE Historical Result - 17.6m at 4.9g/t 2PGE+Au intersected in drill hole NDH014, (including 1,7m @ 26.8 g/t)) in 2005. Significant and widespread enrichment of Pt, Pd and Au occurs within large mafic and ultra-mafic body. 7 holes recorded intersections in excess of 1m at +3.5g/t 2 PGE+Au.

18www.wkt.com.au Undervalued Opportunity WKT is a compelling, undervalued investment option WKT offers significant upside at Kigoma – potentially an outstanding project Takatokwane is already attracting the attention of energy players www.wkt.com.au

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Competent Person – Dr Ian D. Blayden Information in this announcement above relating to Coal Resources at Takatokwane is based on information compiled by Dr Ian D. Blayden of Geological and Management Resources Pty Ltd which provides geological consulting services to Optiro Pty Ltd. Dr Blayden is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2004 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr Blayden consents to the inclusion in the document of the information in the form and context in which it appears. Competent Person – Mr Alan Golding The information in this announcement that relates to exploration results at Takatokwane South is based on data compiled by Mr Alan Golding who is a member of the South African Geological Society, the South African Institute of Engineering Geologists and a Fellow of the Geological Society of London. Mr Golding has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and the type of deposit under consideration to qualify as a competent person as defined in the 2004 edition of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Golding consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which they appear.
