Strategic Update

3 September 2010

Following the announcement regarding the new potential high grade tantalum discovery at Marropino on 1 September 2010 (the "Discovery") and the completed $8m financing today, the board has decided to accelerate the assessment of the Discovery whilst concurrently executing its strategic plan outlined on 10 June 2010 (the "Plan"). The additional cost for accelerating the assessment of the Discovery will be minimal while it could have the potential benefit of significantly enhancing the economics of the Plan, especially in the early years, subject to verification of potential size, depth, grade, and significance of the Discovery. If it is proven that the Discovery is viable, the enhanced economics may reduce or eliminate further need for external financing for the execution of the Plan. Until the evaluation of the Discovery is completed there is no guarantee that it is viable or of consistently high grade.

The Company will provide further updates on the Discovery and its future capital requirements when appropriate.
