ABOUT WEATHERLY
Following the sale of its smelter in March 2010 and having repaid its debts, Weatherly is now focussed on
the development of its mining assets. This process is starting with Otjihase and Matchless but will continue
with the development of the open plan mine at Tschudi. The objective is to develop a copper mining
business of sustaining approximately 20,000 tpa of copper production at average industry cost of production
for the next ten years. Weatherly is seeking to create value from its other assets which include the Berg
Aukas lead zinc mine, the Tsumeb mines and surrounding exploration tenements.
