Iron Ore Mexico
Hermosillo
Iron Ore Mexico
Project covers 35,000 hectares
(approx. 135 square miles, 350
square kms)
Currently privately owned by two
groups US individuals (50%) and
major Mexican construction
company (50%)
Commenced small scale
mining/processing in January 2013
on two deposits (highlighted in
yellow)
Simple ore beneficiation process
and product sold to China
Two shipments so far this year a
third expected within days.
All necessary permits are in place
Current production from two deposits - Ponderosa and Fito 3

Ponderosa
Drilling program commenced in November 2011.
134 holes were drilled for a total of 3,800 metres .
Drill holes ranged from 15 to 50 metres in depth.

Fito 3
81 holes were drilled for a total of 3,500 metres .
Drill holes range from 20 to 50 metres in depth.

No official Reserves or Resources calculated yet but production from
these two sources expected for at least 3 years




Iron Ore Mexico
Project has no debt.
All equipment bought
outright includes:
CAT excavators
CAT Trucks
Grader
CAT front end loaders
Cummins Generators
Jaw crusher
Cone crusher
Light towers
Dry Magnetic separation
Screens, conveyors,
maintenance equip etc
Laboratory equipment




Iron Ore Mexico
Company operates its own laboratory on-site

Iron Ore Mexico
Simple beneficiation process being used to
remove impurities and increase the grade
of iron in the final product.
Ore mined is crushed to ~2 inches and
processed via dry magnetic separation to
produce ~58% Iron ore
Off take agreement with Chinese producer
Flat 18% penalty on spot price applied for
product impurities
Impurities can be reduced by milling and
wet mag separation process (Future)
Based on current mining equipment,
project mines around 22,000 of ore
producing ~15,000 tonnes of final product
per month.

Iron Ore Mexico
Iron Ore Mexico
Iron Ore is transported by road 180kms to the main port of
Guaymas and shipped to China
Off-take agreement in place whereby 95% is paid once product is
loaded on ship
Project employs around 53 people (including administration staff)
Current costs of around US$61 per tonne of final product









Costs substantially less in Mexico due mainly to wage levels (approx. US$30/t saving).
Average worker in the Australian Iron Ore industry = $100,000 pa
Average worker in Mexico = $15,000 pa

Company receiving ~US$100* per tonne of iron ore providing a margin of ~US$39 per
tonne ($7 million per year)

* Basis: spot price of $124/t (58% Fe)

Iron Ore Mexico
Benefits of the Project
Low wage bill
Low strip ratio (~2:1)
Close to main city 40kms (no FIFO costs)
Close to main port (180kms by road)
Low road transportation costs of around 9c per tonne
km (compared with 15c in Australia) mainly the result
of lower wage rates.
Iron Ore Mexico
NEAR TERM (2-6 months)
Additional mining equipment purchased from cash
generated from previous shipment.
Due to arrive on site within a few weeks.
Project expected to double its mining rate to produce
~25,000 30,000 tonnes of iron ore in near term ($14
million cash PA)

Iron Ore Mexico
MEDIUM TERM OPPORTUNITIES
(6-12 months)

1. Evaluate tenements/patents
for additional deposits and
increasing mining and
processing rate.

1. Upgrade process facilities to
produce high quality product
and reduce the penalty
Iron Ore Mexico
Minimal exploration
has been carried out
over the extensive
tenements/patents.
Government flown
aero magnetics
highlight significant
magnetic anomalies
over the property
Anomalies confirmed
by significant
magnetite and
hematite outcropping

Iron Ore Mexico
EVALUATE LAND HOLDING

2. UPGRADE PROCESS FACILITY
Company has secured a property approx. 20 kms from
site which has:
Ample water supply
Mains power
Just 20 metres from rail line that is currently used to rail copper
concentrates from Arizona to Guaymas
Test work required to determine equipment, capital
cost and benefit of constructing milling and wet mag
plant.
Objective to produce quality product and increase sales
price
Iron Ore Mexico
Iron Ore Mexico
Site of potential Milling operation - 20 metres from rail
link and access to grid power



Iron Ore Mexico
Indicative cost per tonne savings with additional treatment facilities

However the principle benefit to emerge would be a lower penalty and thereby a
higher price for the final product.

Initial estimates highlight a margin increase from $39/t of final product currently to
+$70/t could be expected.

Mexican Company was seeking an industry
partner to bring mining expertise and
capital to help further develop and grow
the business.

Implied value of MIL-LER - $29
million
Implied project value - $19 million
MIL-LER to have the option to be
issued with 20 million fully paid
ordinary shares in Tonogold
which if exercised would reduce
the cash component by $1 million
(to $4 million).

Tonogold will be investing in the
entity that owns the
tenements/patents, own the
plant and equipment and will
participate in its current cash
flows

Iron Ore Mexico
TONOGOLDS OPPORTUNITY
Initial $5 million investment:
To fund a significant exploration program over
tenements/patents (including ground magnetics, drilling
etc)
To fund metallurgical test work in Australia to determine
cost/benefit of further beneficiation

Second $5 million investment:
To provide equity funding to upgrade treatment facility
Further Exploration
New opportunities in the region
Iron Ore Mexico
Project currently cash flow positive and a low cost producer.
Trail mining/processing has virtually eliminated risks associated with
new start ups
Potential for significant share price accretion in the short term.
Spring board for further opportunities in Mexico
Tonogolds mining expertise and MIL-LERS high reputation and
competitive advantage in Mexico offers yet unknown future
opportunities
Tonogold well positioned to consolidate project ownership in the
future
Both management teams have like minded visions, aspirations
and values a unique relationship is expected to develop

Iron Ore Mexico
With minimal exploration success
production of +500,000 1,000,000 tonnes
of iron ore is achievable in the future.
