Mustang Resources Ltd.: Investor Presentation at 121 Mining Investment Conference
Montepuez Ruby Project
STRATEGY: Systematically build a resource base & generate significant revenue whilst doing so
o Auger drilling + bulk sample + auction/tender sales = JORC Resource
- Plant relocated in late 2016, commissioning completed in January 2017, key upgrades in April 2017 to deliver 250tph feed-capacity
- >1,500tpd (~328,000tpa) processing capacity from June 2017 onwards, up from ~300tpd (average) in January
- Current inventory stands at ~73,500cts all sourced from initial processing of material from Alpha deposit and rubies received from artisanal miner development program
- New high-grade and shallow ruby deposits to be excavated and processed in coming months- ruby inventory expected to increase significantly
- Initial processing of material from highly prospective new deposits within licence 8245L to commence shortly
- Auger drilling campaign will continue with goal of estimating mine life with results of bulk sampling over next 6-12 months helping to establish average grades
Montepuez Ruby Project - New Licence Acquisition
- Shareholders approved the acquisition of 65% stake in highly strategic ruby licence bordering the Montepuez Ruby Project on 22 May 2017

About Mustang Resources Ltd:
Listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, Mustang Resources Ltd. (ASX:MUS) (FRA:GGY) is an emerging gemstone developer and producer focused on the near-term development of the highly prospective Montepuez Ruby Project in northern Mozambique.
The Montepuez Ruby Project consists of four licences covering 19,500 hectares adjacent to the world’s largest ruby deposit discovered by Gemfields Plc (LON:GEM) in 2012. Since supply of rubies from sources outside Mozambique has become fractured and unreliable, Mustang stands to capitalise on the current demand around the world for ethically produced rubies by becoming a reliable, consistent supplier of high-quality rubies.
The Company is fast-tracking its work program on the Montepuez Ruby Project with high priority targets being identified and low-cost bulk sampling well underway. Mustang also holds interests in seven graphite licences in the Balama area of Mozambique, where it has discovered a Tier-1 high-grade flake graphite deposit at its Caula Project.
