Summary of Presentation by JK today at the Excellence in Mining & Exploration Conference September 2009.

...............

1. Bolivian gold project cash flow
forecast to commence 1Q 2011

2. Potential for early-stage FNQ gold project cash flow (1H 2010)

3. $945,000 Share Placement at $0.02/share combined with a 1 for 4 Renounceable
Rights Issue heavily oversubscribed to raise a further A$3.94m for a total capital
raising of ~A$4.9m
�� All Placement and Rights Issue shares issued had 2 free attaching options as
follows:
�� 1 x 12 month option at $0.03/share exercise price &
�� 1 x 24 month option at $0.04/share exercise price
�� Current cash on hand as at September 2009 is $A2.5m, and no debt

4. Bankable Feasibility Studies for Bolivia & FNQ well advanced
�� Pre-Construction earthworks commenced at Amayapampa
�� Successful 2009 drilling at FNQ hitting high grade gold targets – 43m @ 5.03 g/t, 20m @
5.80 g/t, 18m @ 7.18 g/t, 16m @ 5.52 g/t, 8m @ 6.32 g/t, 8m @ 6.85 g/t & 6m @ 5.38 g/t.


5. Socialist government of President Evo Morales elected in December 2005
�� New Constitution (January 2009) supportive of private sector and mining
�� Need for companies to obtain social license in order to operate
�� Company currently working with government and communities on social license
process
�� Company has good relations with Bolivian government officials
�� Established health and education programs for the communities at Amayapampa
�� Strong commitment to best practice on
community and human rights
�� Excellent political connections, particularly
Eugenio Mendoza VM Mining
�� Development of very good relationships with
the local communities over the past 6 months

6. Amayapampa Gold Project is 400kms
South of La Paz in the Bolivian
Altiplano at 4,100m above sea level
�� Current Resource is ~1.1Moz – most
recent feasibility study (2005)
estimated ore reserves of 423,000ozs
at a cash cost of US$176/oz
�� Mineralisation identified is 30-70m
wide, 1.5kms in strike length and
open along strike and at depth
�� Free milling ore - mostly gravity
recoverable gold
�� BFS targeted for completion late-
2009/early-2010

7. Progressing Towards Production
�� Republic moving towards 2-tiered production:
- Bolivia: 80,000 -100,000 oz Au p.a.
- Hodgkinson Basin: 25,000 - 45,000 oz Au p.a.
�� Bolivia is the primary focus – providing exciting exploration potential and an existing
Resource of >1moz and still growing
�� Bolivian production cash costs likely to be bottom quartile amongst current
producers – Amayapampa likely to be highly profitable at current US$ gold prices
�� Continued to focus on regions where Republic’s Technical & Operating strengths are
best utilised
