May 29, 2012 May 2012 A North American Near Term Copper Developer Cautionary Notes Forward-Looking Statements Statements in this presentation other than purely historical information, including statements relating to the Company’s future plans, objectives or expected results, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions and are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business, including risks inherent in exploration and development, and uncertainties in connection with anticipated commodity prices, growth of worldwide market demand, exploration capital requirements, length of asset life and availability of qualified personnel, among others. As a result, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Resources and Reserves The resource estimates described in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and uses the terms “mineral reserves” and “mineral resources”. Investors are cautioned of the difference between the terms “mineral resources” and “mineral reserves” as “mineral resources” do not have demonstrated economic viability like that of “mineral reserves”. Bill Willoughby, PhD, PE, Enexco’s Chief Operating Officer and Director, an NI 43-101 Qualified Person, supervised the preparation of and verified all technical information contained in this presentation. 2 Enexco Overview Contact Copper Project Focused on advancing the 100% owned Contact Copper Project in northeast Nevada towards production Intrusive-related deposit, oxidized PFS completed in Oct. 2010, BFS planned for 2012 Major land acquisition completed with Allied Nevada; step-out drilling underway to test expansion potential Good resource upside; deposit open along strike and at depth Au-Ag and U Exploration Assets 3 Management Arnold Armstrong - President & CEO, Chairman Extensive legal career.
