Regarding the Underlying Participation: EXPLORATION STRATEGIES FOR NATURAL RESOURCES DEFINITIONS AND

WARRANTIES EXPLORATION STRATEGIES FOR NATURAL RESOURCES DEFINITIONS AND WARRANTIES Natural Resources can be: MINERAL RESOURCES such as in this case Gold, Tantalum, Niobium and Rare Earths, etc. HYDROCARBONS (HC) RESOURCES such oil and/or gas. There is no entry of Grassroots (Greenfield) exploration projects into our portfolio because of their intrinsic uncertainties, but only projects showing a reliable Brownfield level where previous exploration has been conducted to some extent within geological terrains within close proximity to known ore deposits or HC occurrences. General Definition of Exploration Value Chain Phase 1: Target Generation Commodity selection Location Entry level Minerals legislation License application Company registration Phase 2: Base line geological information Geological map coverage Geophysical coverage Remote sensing coverage Previous exploration activity and Research Phase 3: Fieldwork Extensive sampling and analysis - Geophysics Test drilling Phase 4: Follow Up Drilling for more exact delineation of ore or gas/oil reservoirs Environmental studies Impact on local social and environmental issue Phase 5: Feasibility Ore or gas/oil RESERVE calculations aiming at 1 P Metallurgical test work, bulk sampling, gas/oil well testing

TIME SCHEDULE AND PARTICULARITIES WITH EXPLORATION VALUE CHAIN The above Phase 1 can be achieved within a period of a few days up to some weeks. This is especially true in cases where existing licenses and/or (mining) company registrations can be taken over shortly, or assigned legally in favor of the own portfolio. Phase 2 would be based on some essential requirements to meet the above Brownfield definition. In case of Mineral Resources: Near-surface mineralization (e.g. supergene enrichment zone with porphyry copper deposits, or pegmatite dikes and veins), and where open pit mining is a realistic perspective, at least for the first ten years of production; Geological mapping with sufficient tectonic inventory (faults and fractures etc.); Indicative minerals inventory (e.g. chlorite group for hydrothermal alteration, or epidote for possibly elevated levels of REE/REO etc.); Indicative samples (grading, grade continuity); Mining history of the region in question and/or assignment to known regional or provincial mineral occurrences. These data will be sufficient to delineate mineralizations and to categorize them as Inferred Mineral Resources (JORC, 2004). A first economic value can be derived by using the following formula that we have developed in order to assess the likely economic size of a deposit, at an early stage of the Exploration Value Chain already: Minimum gross value (US$) of the target element = V x D x G x Ch x Cv x P where V is the volume (m3) of the mineralization in question ( Ore Reservoir ), D is mean density (g/cm3), G is likely minimum grade (> 0 to 1) beyond defined cut-off level, Ch is a horizontal grade continuity factor (> 0 to 1), Cv is a vertical grade continuity factor (> 0 to 1), and P is the actual market price in US$ per ton of the commodity in question. This initial evaluation can be performed within a six (6) months period. For onshore / offshore Hydrocarbons Resources, especially concerning deep occurrences: Existing exploration well ( wild cat ); Log-data and formation testing; Seismic (2D) profiles; Regional geological model, tectonics and stratigraphic column; Systematically linked with the USGS World Petroleum Resources Project (Total Petroleum Systems and Assessment Units). These data will enable a de novo estimation of the deposit gross value by using a deterministic method where a single discrete value for each parameter in the volumetric formula used by us (cf. G.L. Dolton and R.A. Crovelli: Assessment Methodology for Deep Natural Gas Resources, USGS Bulletin 2146-O, 1997, p. 233-239) is selected, based on our estimation of the most likely value for the Probable Reserve category. When a single value has to be taken out from its reported probability range, the value representing a probability of equal to or greater than 95 % will be used.

Within a period of six (6) months, we will be able to perform the estimation of a gross value (US$), for example with gas defined as non-associated recoverable gas equivalent (BCGG) in the category Probable (P50 or 2P). As in the USA, we consider a reserve volume of > 80 BCFG as high. A volume of 30 BCFG is regarded commonly as a minimum threshold to be economic. For oil (bbl) we use a similar procedure in the Probable category (P50, 2P). In Phase 3 and 4 Resources are constantly upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources, corresponding to Probable Mineral Reserves when specific requirements are met according to JORC (2004), and to Measured Mineral Resources (Proved Reserves), or from 2P to 1 P level. At the same time, the above estimated (minimum) gross values for the commodities in question will be more precisely defined. The time need for the phase 3 to 5 period is at minimum 18 to 36 months.
