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.

A feasibility stage, oxide copper project
•
100% owned, located in Elko County, Nevada
•
Intrusive-related deposit, oxidized down >2,000 ft.
•
Amenable to heap-leaching to produce copper
cathode
•
Excellent infrastructure in roads, power lines, water
2010 Pre-feasibility study update:
•
Reserves of 317 Mlbs Cu
•
Measured & Indicated Resources of 711 Mlbs Cu,
plus Inferred Resource of 291 Mlbs Cu
Recent land acquisition from Allied Nevada; likely
to have significant impact on mine optimization
•
Acquired 8,000 acres of additional land
•
BFS scheduled for 2012 to incorporate additional
drilling on acquired land
Geology

Intrusive-related copper deposit,
oxidized down ~2,000 feet

Copper mineralization in quartz veins,
and as fracture coatings and
disseminations within granodiorite host

Oxide mineralization open along strike to
the east and west, also open at depth
