About New Hana Copper's Kuke Copper-Silver Project in Botswana:

The exploration-stage Kuke Project is located in the center of the Kalahari
Copper Belt in northwestern Botswana. The Kuke property covers 10,654 square
kilometres and is adjacent and along strike to Hana Mining Ltd.'s ("Hana")
Ghanzi Copper Silver Project. On April 21, 2010, Hana released the results of
its NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Ghanzi Project, announcing an
inferred mineral resource of 3.9 billion pounds of copper and 62.1 million
ounces of silver from 177 million tonnes. 


The project will benefit from proposed rail and power infrastructure expansions,
along with proximity to local population centers and workforce. A feasibility
study is currently underway (funded by the World Bank and the Governments of
Botswana and Namibia) to support completion of a rail line link that would
connect Botswana with the Namibian port of Walvis Bay, on the Atlantic coast.
The closest existing railhead to port is at Gobabis, in Namibia, approximately
550 km from our property. Construction has begun on the 600MW expansion of the
government-owned Moropule Power Plant, having secured US$825 million project
funding in May 2010. The Kuke Copper-Silver Project is currently accessed by the
paved Trans-Kalahari highway, which passes within 5 km of the property.
