Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward looking statements concerning the projects owned by AusQuest Limited. Statements concerning mining reserves and resources may also be
deemed to be forward looking statements in that they involve estimates based on specific assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and
actual events and results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements as a result of a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Forward
looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, opinions and estimates as of the dates the forward looking statements are made and no obligation is assumed to update
forward looking statements if these beliefs, opinions and estimates should change or to reflect other future developments. Data and amounts shown in this presentation relating to
capital costs, operating costs and project timelines are internally generated best estimates only. All such information and data is currently under review as part of AusQuest
Limited’s ongoing development and feasibility studies. Accordingly, AusQuest Limited cannot guarantee the accuracy and/or completeness of the figures or data included in the
presentation until the feasibility studies are completed.
Competent Person’s Statement
The details contained in this report that pertain to exploration results are based upon information compiled by Mr Graeme Drew, a full-time employee of AusQuest Limited. Mr
Drew is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AUSIMM) and has sufficient experience in the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent
Person as defined in the December 2012 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves” (JORC Code). Mr Drew
consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based upon his information in the form and context in which it appears.
JORC – Exploration Targets
It is common practice for a company to comment on and discuss its exploration in terms of target size and type. The information in this presentation relating to exploration targets
should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. Hence the terms Resource(s) or Reserve(s) have not been used in this context.
The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, since there has been insufficient work completed to define them beyond exploration targets and that it is uncertain if
further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
Currency
All dollar amounts shown in this presentation are in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Peru – Copper Country

• Peru is the third largest copper producer
globally
• Coastal Belt offers access to infrastructure and
lower cost project settings
• AQD has large landholdings (100% owned)
close to the coast
• Major Deposits along the coast include Mina
Justa, Marcona, Tia Maria
• Cangallo first significant new greenfield
porphyry copper discovery in 20 years
• Peru has established mining jurisdiction with
multiple mine developments underway

• Low altitude (~1,200m) improves
Capex and Opex profile
• Close to the coast (~8km) – seawater
access, freight & logistics
• No competing land-use
• Multiple Power Options - transmission
lines cross the prospect
• 30km from Chala - ~10K people with
strong ties to fishing & mining –
potential work force
• Potential port site close to the
prospect
Location – A Capex and Opex Advantage

• The Cangallo porphyry copper discovery continues to grow with
every new drill program (54 RC holes, +5 DDH - 24,500m)
• Mineralisation is continuous for +1500m in length, 250 to 500m in
width and to depths up to 800m
Copper occurs from surface as oxides & secondary sulphides
to depths of ~300m
Near surface supergene copper is in part acid soluble
potentially supporting heap leach recovery – a cheap
processing option
• Significant broad intersections include:
154m @ 0.37% Cu & 0.06 g/t Au (CANRC034)
304m @ 0.30% Cu & 0.06 g/t Au (CANRC008)
324m @ 0.30% Cu & 0.07 g/t Au (CANRC012)
330m @ 0.30% Cu & 0.06 g/t Au (CANRC014)
172m @ 0.33% Cu & 0.07 g/t Au (CANRC032)
176m @ 0.38% Cu & 0.07 g/t Au (CANRC052)
342m @ 0.27% Cu & 0.05 g/t Au (CANRC053)
555m @ 0.26% Cu & 0.06 g/t Au (CANDD002)

• Copper is continuous within a north - south
corridor extending over 1500 metres
• Broad zones (+200m) of +0.3% Cu are common
with multiple intercepts grading +0.5% Cu
• Hypogene mineralisation continues to depths >
700 metres – Diamond drilling ongoing
• High copper (+0.5% Cu) grades in north and
south - mineralisation open in all directions
• Excellent potential to grow the resource &
locate higher Cu grades near surface & at
depth - Stage 4 drill permits are close
