THE WORLD HAS AN INSATIABLE THIRST FOR COPPER. INCREASING COPPER DEMAND World-wide copper (Cu) consumption increased by 10% in 2010. But, production increased by only 1% during the same time. Result; the Cu price rose by almost 50% to an all-time high. This may explain why China is stockpiling reserves and other major mining companies are maximizing their position in the ���red��� metal. WORLD CLASS GRADE Tintina���s Black Butte Copper project, the third highest grade copper deposit in North America, located in central Montana, USA, having a Measured and Indicated resource of 910 million lbs of Cu at an average grade of 3.57% and an Inferred resource of 388 million lbs of Cu at an average grade of 2.67% (see Company news release of November 13, 2012) and which will likely grow in size. The Company is currently working on an updated PEA to include these new Measure, Indicated and Inferred resource values. The project, located on 7,500 acres of private land with existing advanced infrastructure, already has the backing of local and state officials. That is good news for our present and future investors. On August 30, 2012, the Company SEDAR filed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (���PEA���) for the Johnny Lee deposit on the Black Butte Copper project. (See Sept. 4, 2012 news release) BLACK BUTTE PEA HIGHLIGHTS: Initial estimated start-up capital: $210 million Pre-Tax NPV/IRR @ 8% (Cu @ $2.97/lb)*: NPV: $145.8 million IRR: 20.4% Pre-Tax NPV/IRR @ 8% (Cu @ $3.50/lb)**: NPV: $309 million IRR: 32.6% *Using ���base case consensus��� long-term copper price of $2.97 **Using current copper price of $3.50 Thirsty for an investment opportunity?
