Executive summary FEC Maden Enerji A.Ş. (“FEC” or “the Company”) was established in May 2010 for the purposes of

exploration, development & production of gold in Haymana region, a district of Ankara province in Turkey.

Building on the work of its main shareholder; RNG Holdings AG (“RNG” or “RNG Holdings”), FEC obtained five gold exploration licenses between May and June, 2010. In addition, the Company is at its final stages of receiving additional five exploration licenses of similar character.

The licenses were acquired based on proprietary information related to the Company's own and external studies in the area. These studies indicated high reserves potential and above average gold concentration per tonne (“pt”).

On July, 2010 the Company engaged SRK Danismanlik ve Muhendislik A.Ş. (“SRK Consulting”) to begin performing studies, with the first results expected at early August, 2010. Spektra Jeotek Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.Ş was engaged as the contractors to assist in the early drilling stages.

FEC is currently examining its capital needs to address its strategic expansion in exploring and developing its current resources. The Company invites interested parties to participate in its story.

Strategy The Company’s long term vision is to develop a vertically integrated organization involved in the

various stages of the exploration, development, production and trade of gold and other metals.

Through the short to medium term, based on existing ground work, the Company would aim to cooperate with the leaders of mining industry to progress its current projects towards operational stage.

To minimize risks, FEC employs the latest technology in exploration such as structure-metric analysis as well as traditional methods of geophysics, seismic survey and drilling.

The Company has developed a good relationship with local authorities, and will aim to maintain the mutual understanding and support through various social participations such as the Rotary Club, United Way along with other activities involving local communities.

FEC will aim to adopt the highest standards related to environment and safety, that will be emphasized through the use of the latest technology and environment and safety procedures implemented in operation.

As of August 2010, the Company incurred close to USD 2.5 million (“mln”) in total expenses. The expenses were funded through cash meaning that the Company is debt free.

Projects status The Company currently holds titles to five exploration licenses (“upper region”) and is in its final stages of approval for

additional five exploration licenses (“lower region”) in the region of Haymana, Turkey.

The upper region covers an area of 8,752 hectares (“ha”) or 87 km2 . On July, 2010 the Company engaged SRK Consulting to begin performing geological studies, with the first results expected at early August, 2010. Spektra Jeotek Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Spektra”) was sub contracted to assist in the early drilling stages. Additional details on the licenses and the location are provided on slides 7-10.

The lower region is located within the same region. Due to the most recent changes in Turkey’s mining legislation a number of procedures in issuing exploration licenses have been modified. This resulted in minor delays in the issue of the exploration licenses applying to the lower region. The terms between the Company and the relevant bodies have been reached. The Company is permitted to perform basic exploration work while awaiting the full exploration licenses.

With the stage of geological studies and initial drilling completed the Company will adopt an open pit approach.

The primary product focus for the Company is gold of 21.5 to 22 carat (“ct”). In addition, the Company is expecting to produce silver, platinum , chrome, magnesium and iron ore.

The Company currently employs seven individuals on a full time basis, three of whom are geologists with a combined 30 years experience in mining.

Project location – upper region

The upper region licenses covers 8,752 ha or 87 km2 .

The region of the exploration and nearby surrounding benefits from high concentration of water resources, which is a positive factor that tends to benefit local mining. The low density of the regions’ is also a positive factor. Lower density eases the extraction of minerals and reduces operating expenses.

The favorable climate combined with exiting regulation allows a mine to operate 10 months a year.

Turkey’s mining regulation in brief The mining industry in Turkey is regulated by the Turkish mining law. The General Directorate of Mining Affairs (GDMA), a unit of the

Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, is the authorized body to regulate the mining activities and issue mining licenses.

Turkey’s modern mining regime governance dates back to Mining Law No. 3213 of 1985, amended by Law No. 5177 of June 2004 to support foreign direct investments in the sector and promote more investor friendly environment.

In the month of June 2010, the president of the republic of Turkey, Abdullah Gul, signed a new bill into Mining law No. 5995. The amendment was received positively by the mining community and is expected to provide more transparent and efficient framework for exploration and development activities.

In essence there are two types of licenses for prospecting and operating the mines stated under the laws of the Republic of Turkey. Prospecting license, allows its holder to carry out exploration activities in a specific area. The operational license has to phases to it, first when an operational license is issued it allows to its holder to carry out operational activities within the same area stated in the prospecting license. The operational permit enabling its holder to operate specific mine as specified in the operational license.

Under the Turkish mining law, mining licenses are divided into five groups which are subject to different terms and conditions on licensing principals and procedures. Group number four covers the key metals relevant to the F.E.C which among others include: gold, silver, chrome, magnesium and ore.

The term of the exploration concerning group IV license is granted for three years and can be extended for additional two years subject to application made with the exploration activities reports in a timely manner. Operational license are granted for a minimum of 10 years and can be extended further up to 60 years.

Gold producers are exempt from VAT payments which applies to all stages of the Company's operations. A royalty on ore processed off site will be paid to the state for mining activities amounting to 2% of the sales value of the ore mined. Ore processed on site at the operators' plant is reduced to 1%.

Gold price in perspective Currently, some 0.8% of all global

financial assets are invested in gold, gold shares, and ETFs. In 1932, the allocation was 20% and in the last bull gold market in the beginning of the 1980’s it was 26%. If a total of 2% were allocated to gold, the additional demand would amount to about 85,000 T or the total global mining output for almost 34 years.

A comparison with institutional cash yields a similar result. The market capitalization of money market funds amounted to USD 4,123bn as of 20 May. The aggregate market value of physical gold ETFs currently comes to slightly less than USD 70bn, i.e. only 1.7% of the volume.

The capitalization of the equity markets makes a similar point. The Gold Bugs Index (“GBI”) which contains the 16 largest unhedged gold and silver producers and was valued at USD200 billion (“bn”) as of 22nd May 2010 represented only 1.9% of total market capitalization of the S&P 500.

The physical market sometimes completely sold out, Munze Osterreich (Austrian Mint one of the five largest mints in the word) posted a record result in 2009. The Company sold 1.6 mn oz, up from 0.137 mn oz in 2007. On aggregate (including gold for trading purposes, bullions etc) their volume incased from 0.277 mn oz to 2.1 mn oz between 2007 and 2009.

Still, sales figures are low in comparison with the past. The Krugerrand mint have been selling between 2 to 6 mn oz per year in the period between 1974 to 1984. In 2010, the refinery expected to sell 1mn oz.

Supply Demand Mine supply

The world’s total gold demand and supply in 2009 represented 3.4 mt and 3.9 mt respectively.

Over the last decade, gold supply was characterized by falling mine production of close to 10%, a material increase in the supply of recycled gold of197% and a decrease in central bank selling.

On the demand side, some of the main trends include an increase in investment demand and a reduction in gold demand for jewelry purposes.

Part of the reasons include: financial instability and unsustainable supply of paper money, new financial products such as the exchange traded funds (ETFs), lower mineralization of mines and an increase of production costs. All these resulted in an increase of the price of gold by 434% for the last decade and close to 3,400% since 1970’s.

Meanwhile, Turkey the largest consumer of gold in Europe, the largest supplier of recycled gold in Europe is one of the fastest growing gold producers in the world reflecting a growth above 300% in terms of mine supply between 2007 and year end 2009.

Demand per capita and type Over the last decade, the

demand for gold has been characterized by a decreasing consumption of jewelry and an increasing demand from investment and industrial purposes.

For the first time in many years investor demand might exceed jewelry demand in 2010. In 2000, investment demand accounted for only about 4.8% of total demand, in 2009 for as much as 37%.

In 2009, only 58% (or 2,432 mt) of total gold supply was attributed to mining production activity. Scrap recycling activity was the second largest contributor with 33% (or 1,408 mt)

Traditional countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa are losing importance, with countries such as Russia, Indonesia China reporting strong growth in production.

In 2007, China took over South Africa as the world’s biggest gold producer, producing 314 mt in 2009, up 11% from 2008. Source: Erse Bank GroupSource: Virtual Metals, BNP

Mineralization and cost of gold production

From 1830 to 1920 the average content of gold per mt was 22g, today it is 0.8g per mt. One of the main reasons is the fact that many of the high grade, easy extractable deposits have been depleted.

As a result, cash costs increased substantially, reaching almost USD 500/ounce in 2009. Meanwhile the “all-in costs” increased to USD 740/ounce. Not only are the production costs rising exponentially – the expenditure involved in building new mines is as well.

Turkish mining sector According to data provided by the

Turkish statistical institute, the monthly metal mining production index in May 2010 had increased by 34% year on year. This compared with 13% growth with the average industrial production and 15% with the general mining and quarrying index.

According to the chairman of the gold mining association, Turkey has a potential of 6,500 mt of gold of which miners know where 710 mt are located. An estimated figure of USD 10 bn of capital is required to find the rest. Today, only USD 50 mn are spent in Turkey per year, where developed countries with similar potential spend USD 5 bn a year.
