  1. TOSS Plasma Technologies Limited PRESENTS RF PLASMA TECHNOLOGY TO EXTRACT PRECIOUS METALS FROM COMPLEX ORES

  2. Market --- Complex Ores containing precious metals (Gold, Silver, & Platinum Group Metals) A base-metal ore that contains valuable amounts of 2 or more metals (i.e. copper, lead, and zinc) is termed a complex ore. Copper Lead Zinc Gold Silver Misc. Native Ores (Free or metallic state) Sulfide Ores (combined with sulfur) Oxidized Ores (combined with O2) Mixed Ores (oxidized & sulfide)

  3. Market Needs --- Precious Metals that are largely undetected & unrecoverable by conventional metallurgy Precious Metals are intricately latticed on a sub-micron scale • Encapsulated and “hidden” by interference elements. • Using conventional metallurgy, only insignificant or minor traces (1 – 2 %) of sub-micron precious metals are detected and obtained. • The economics make it infeasible for mining companies to explore and exploit complex precious metal ores. This target market is largely untapped underdeveloped & undervalued.

  4. Market Needs --- A breakthrough technology that can unbind & extract “hidden” precious metals • Brilliant, Proprietary technology using RF Plasma torch. • At 8,000oC, ore structure disintegrates and encapsulated Au, Ag, etc. are freed up and condensed for collection. • Almost 100% of the latent precious metals contained in the ores can be extracted and recovered. • Unfair Market Advantage (captive market w/no competitors). • TPT owns & holds the key to this breakthrough technology.

  5. Significance of Breakthrough RFP Technology • Before RF Plasma • After RF Plasma RFP @ 8,000oC Altered chemical composition, shape, and crystal structure • Ore powder • Hidden Au, Ag, PGM... • < 0.5 g/t Au, 5g/t Ag • Freed up PM spheroids (ultra fine powder) • 168.5 g/t Au, 334 g/t Ag • (based on most recent • assay by independent • lab) • Almost 100% recovery

  6. Ore Processing Flow Powder (100 mesh) Milling Classification Head Ore Separation & Concentration Au/PGM= 0.001 to 0.1 oz/ton 10:1 to 100:1 Au 2 – 20 oz/ton PGM 10-.100 oz/ton Chemical Concentration • RFP System Specs • Power – 300 kW • Input Rate – 100 lb/hr • Particle size: 75 to 150 microns • Plasma gas: Air, Ar, N2, H2, O2 • Gas Flow – 25 to 45 m3/hr Refineries & Smelters Au/PGM powder RF Plasma System T = 8,000oC 1 – 25 microns 100 oz/ton

  9. The RF Plasma Process • Thermal plasma process that generates a high intensity (~0.5 – 1.2 kW/cm3) heat flux. • Ore concentrate is injected into the RFP reactor where it is heated by the plasma stream, vaporized and condensed in a controlled atmosphere. • Temperature range between 6,400oC and 14,000oC. • If the initial ore does not contain precious metals, using plasma will not transmute or increase the weight of the gold or silver. 100% material balance. • Heat without combustion and chemical reactions without contamination up to incredible temperatures. • High degree of densification, spheroidization and purity. • Green technology with no health or safety hazards. • Highly versatile & economical to implement.

  10. Database of TPT Complex Ore Assay Results Over the last several years, TPT has conducted assay tests of ore samples from over 46 mines in China. Several mines have exceedingly high gold and silver content . • Ore sourcing & Target Mines • Technology validation • Immediate availability • Information sensitivity It is not known initially whether a particular complex ore would contain or yield significant amounts of “latent” PGM, gold or silver. It takes a number of assay tests of varying head ore samples to provide a reliable but approximate prediction of the precious metal composition in the complex ore.

  11. December 20, 2012 Assay report from iPL This is the most recent assay of the target Hebei mine. The results show insignificant pre-RFP gold/silver content and post-RFP gold content of 255.67 g/ton and silver content of 531.8 g/ton. These results are based on using head ore without undergoing a normal 20:1 concentration.

  12. March 4, 2011 Assay report by independent lab in China This assay pertains to the Yamagata demo sample we provided to our potential JV partner, a large publicly traded mining company in Southern China. The results show insignificant pre-RFP gold/silver content and post-RFP gold content of 168.5 g/ton and silver content of 334 g/ton. These results are based on using head ore without undergoing a normal 20:1 concentration.

  13. January 17, 2008 Assay report from iPL This assay pertains to the target complex ore mine in Hebei China that TPT has identified. The results show insignificant pre-RFP gold/silver content and post-RFP gold content of 2725.3 g/ton and silver content of 4844.4 g/ton.

  14. July 22, 2003 Assay by Sumitomo Metal Mining Lab

  15. Marketing & Sales Sales • Extracted metals are mixed in plasma powder form • Purified and segregated through conventional refining techniques • Sold to large smelters and refiners such as Engelhard, Johnson Massey, Sumitomo Metal Mining, Mitsubishi Materials • Precious metals are pegged to the selling spot and future prices on the London Metals Exchange (LME) • Recovered gold/silver & PGM powder can fetch up to 98% of the LME price (used 90% in 5-year income projection) Marketing • Multi-national mining companies, smelters, and refineries for JV & licensing arrangements • Business expertise and resources to control, operate and manage the excavation and supply of ores • China, Australia, Brazil, South Africa, India, USA, Canada • Current joint venture proceedings with a major publicly-traded China mining company

  16. 5 Year Income Projection The 5-year Income Projection is based on the financial model assumptions stated in the BP for a new RFP Precious Metal Processing facility. The operating costs are based on the urban Taipei area. These costs may or may not be conservative depending on the host country of the operation for ore processing. However it is clear that the income/profit margins would not be substantially impacted by the cost differentials.

  17. Key Assumptions for 5-Year Income Projection • Facility: 20/m2 per RFP processing unit. Total 1,000 sq. meters including chemical laboratory, office space and storage area. US$10/ m2/month, +10%/year. • Production: Each RFP system (300KW) can produce 2.5 mt/day. Annual production = 750 mt, assuming 3 shifts at 8 hours each, 6 days/week, and 50 weeks/year. • # of RFP units: • Product Pricing: • For conservatism, the typical concentration ratio of 20:1 is reduced by a factor of 4 to 5:1 to account for head ore vs. concentrated ore in normal processing. This reduction is also warranted before a more reliable assessment can be deduced from full operating experience. • Average $/ton is further reduced to 90% of the average assay yield value, or US$45,451.4/ton. • System Cost: 1 RFP torch system is US $3,500,000, which includes all required attendant equipment. • Ore cost: 15% of the sales price of the processed ore powder, or $6817.71/ton.

  18. Key Assumptions for 5-Year Income Projection (cont.) • Staffing & Salaries: Staffing is based on the use of 3 operators for every 2 RFP units, coupled with 1 supervising system engineer for each shift. Office staff is mainly clerical/accounting personnel employed during the day shift. The table below shows the projected # of personnel for each year. Monthly salaries and benefits for Taiwan or China are estimated based on US$3.5K for supervisory system engineer, US$2K for operator/technician, and US$1.5K for office staff. The processing facility should have a General Manager with a salary of US$100K/year. A 10% annual rent increase is projected. • Equipment Maintenance: 5% of the unit cost of the RFP torch system (US$175,000/system) and is allocated on a per unit basis. • Electrical Power: 500 kw/hour for 1 system = $360,000 per RFP unit based on US$0.1/kw. • G&A: 5% of sales revenue. • Royalty Fee (Territory License): Annual royalty set at 10% of Total Revenue. Depends on negotiated terms. Not applicable to equity JV partnership.

  19. Territory Licensing Program • Turnkey technology transfer • Minimum procurement of 2 RFP processing systems • Territory exclusivity • One-time Upfront License Fee • Annual royalty (% of Gross Sales) • Representation on BOD • Specific terms/conditions to be negotiated

  20. Reasons for Investment (Territory License or JV Partnership) • Paving a way for mining companies to exploit new or existing assets for precious metal commodities to substantially increase their bottom-line earnings and shareholder value. • The capital investment for starting a RFP processing facility can be completely recouped in Year 2.. The ROI is exceptional, almost 40 times in 5 years, The earnings and investment return can be accelerated by adding RFP processing units. • RFP technology is brilliant, unique, state-of-the-art, and the only way to commercially unbind and extract precious metals from complex ores. It is a green technology with no harmful waste. It is economical and scalable. • Technology has already been validated by assays on over 46 complex ore mines in China in the last few years, demonstrating phenomenally high yield in precious metals for select complex ores. • There is an abundance of complex ores in the world. Target market is largely untapped or underdeveloped and undervalued as the latent precious metals are undetectable by conventional metallurgy. TPT owns and holds the key to it. Thus it is a captive market that is huge and rich.

  21. Reasons for Investment (in TPT Limited) TPT provides investor(s) with a rare and compelling opportunity to participate in a market entry stage business capable of: (i) breakthrough technology with unfair market advantage, (ii) high revenue growth, (iii) accelerating earnings growth, and (iv) IPO within 2 - 3 years. • Technology: RFP technology is brilliant, unique, state-of-the-art, and the only way to commercially unbind and extract precious metals from complex ores.
