Strategy: Build a portfolio of high quality producing assets with excellent exploration potential

3

What differentiates Mandalay is the discipline we bring to implementing the following principles:

Acquisition focus – Superior unrecognized upside potentialExplorationMetallurgyOperational efficienciesFinancial restructure/recapitalization

Low Cost Entry PointAcquire assets at a low cost relative to the ultimate value we believe the project may achieve as a result of good operational implementation & exploration successUse a combination of cash, equity, & debt to reduce dilution & leverage equity returns

Cash FlowFocus on early cash flow from high margin depositsReinvest cash in exploration, development, and operational improvementsDeleverage as rapidly as possible
