What is Antimony (Sb) used for? TSXV: ADT FSE: A7V 11 12. World Production 2010 TSXV: ADT FSE: A7V 12 13. And with Italian production... 10,000t/year TSXV: ADT FSE: A7V 14. And with Adroits internal objective... 20,000t/yearTSXV: ADT FSE: A7V 15. Supply of Antimony Chinese production decreasing : 180,000 t (2008), down to 120,000 t (2010) - 50% from one company Export duties and quantitative limits imposed in 2010 Additional capacity purchased - Beaver Brook, in Canada and Anchor in Australia There is no effective substitute for its major application (flame retardant) Low recycling due to dissipative nature of major usage TSXV: ADT FSE: A7V 15 16. Demand for Antimony China introduces import subsidies in 2011 EU places Antimony on Critical List of 14 RawMaterials US and EU currently 100% dependent on imports British Geological Survey places in the very high riskcategory TSXV: ADT FSE: A7V16 17.

ADT & Antimony in ItalyObjectiveTo recommence mining of antimony and other metals (Au, Ag, Sn)How will we do it?1. Current historic resources are over 45,000 tonnes of contained metal (not ore) and 43-101 resource calculation drilling is to commence in 2012.2. We plan to increase this to 100,000 tonnes of mineable Antimony resources in 43-101 resource calculations for a 10 year mine life by: a. Continued exploration on open antimony deposits on currently held properties and b. Expand our antimony resources by acquiring other properties known, or thought, to contain antimony resources.TSXV: ADT FSE: A7V 21 22.
