10. FREEDOM TO EXPLORE 10 Exploration Software Requirements True value of commercial software becoming understood. Support and Upgrades Longevity and global acceptance Ease of use and integration with other packages Increased interest in Geosoft applications

11. FREEDOM TO EXPLORE 11 Data Management - Challenges TIME “It can take weeks to find enough data to even make some kind of decision.” REWORK ” We drilled a bunch of holes in a similar spot years ago, and they’ve gone and drilled holes again.” LOST OPPORTUNITY ” We drilled a bunch of holes in a similar spot years ago, and now that information is gone. We need to drill the holes again!” LOST PRODUCTIVITY “It’s not about the data, it’s about geoscientists, and making the information they need more readily available to them.” COMPLIANCE: Data issues related to regulatory requirements (SOX, Bill 198, NI 43-101)

12. FREEDOM TO EXPLORE 12 Data Management - Solutions Geosoft DAP server technology is middleware that connects your data, applications and people. Acts as a layer of software between the network and the applications Promotes standardization and interoperability, Simplifies how you find, use and manage your exploration data Applications & Tools

13. FREEDOM TO EXPLORE 13 Challenges of supplying software to Russia Language Distance from Moscow/St. Petersburg Illegal software Change in attitude Different Geosoft business model for larger companies Culture and business practises Huge country Geosoft and AGT bringing technical workshops to the key exploration areas Teaching the next generation of geoscientists

14. FREEDOM TO EXPLORE 14 Conclusions Russia is a major market for Canadian exploration and mining technology Software is a significant part of that opportunity Some challenges, but major benefits to exploration companies By being close to the customer, Geosoft and AGT Systems can deliver true value through software and services
