POSITIVE PRE-FEASIBILITY OUTCOME FOR CLONCURRY COPPER PROJECT

• Results from the recently completed Pre-Feasibility Study have successfully demonstrated
both the technical and commercial credentials of Exco’s Cloncurry Copper Project

• Production of ~20,000tpa of Cu and ~13,000ozpa of Au over an initial 11-year mine life


generates a robust base case project valuation (NPV = A$126M) with significant upside

• On the basis of these positive results the Board intends making an immediate commitment to
the Definitive Feasibility Study phase

INTRODUCTION
Exco Resources Limited (Exco) is pleased to provide a summary of results from the recently
completed Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Cloncurry Copper Project (CCP). The PFS commenced
in December 2007 and initially considered options for a 1 to 2Mtpa sulphide concentrator operation
located within the Company’s Project areas (see Figure 1). The preferred scenario of locating a
≥2Mtpa facility at Exco’s flagship E1 Camp emerged quite quickly allowing the Company and its Study
Manager GRD Minproc to focus on developing preliminary engineering designs, cost estimates and
sensitivity analyses for this option, which are summarised below.

In addition to identifying the optimal capacity and location, the PFS has also provided a solid technical
basis for the CCP. Aspects such as mining, ore beneficiation, metallurgy (including by-product
potential), infrastructure and transportation have all been addressed. Each of these aspects will
receive more detailed attention during the upcoming Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS).

In parallel with the PFS the Company has also progressed an environmental impact study (EIS) and
completed the major portion of an infill drilling program targeting conversion of ~25 million tonnes of
the existing ~36 million tonnes of CCP resources (see Table 1) to the indicated category (and
ultimately to a probable reserve) as the basis for the initial 11-year mine life. This drilling and
subsequent resource modelling will be completed during Q3/2008 to allow incorporation into the DFS.

Project valuations are considered robust and compare favourably with peer projects in Australia.
There are also a number of opportunities for significant commercial upside (e.g., further resource
upgrades, pit optimisations, mine planning and scheduling, cost optimisations and by-product
potential), which will all be further investigated as studies continue.

On the basis of both the technical and commercial credentials of the CCP the Board intends making
an immediate commitment to the DFS, targeting completion by the end of Q1/2009.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Exco’s wholly owned Cloncurry Copper Project (CCP) is located in NW


Queensland with its centre of gravity at the Company’s flagship E1 Camp,
approximately 40 km northeast of the town of Cloncurry and 8km east of Xstrata’s
Ernest Henry Mine (see Figures 1 & 2).

“Critical Mass” of The CCP includes tenements and mining leases with a resource base in excess of
resources in place 35.8 Mt grading 0.93% copper and 0.25 g/t gold (see Table 1). The sulphide
copper-gold mineralization occurs predominantly within magnetite, pyrrhotite, and
chalcopyrite-pyrite mineral assemblages.

Simple open-pit Conventional blast, excavate and haul mining techniques will be utilized to recover
mining ore from open cut pits. The project infrastructure (Figure 2) will be located at the
E1 Camp with ore being trucked from Monakoff and Great Australia to a
processing plant at E1.

Figure 2: Project layout & proposed infrastructure

Processing of the ores will be by means of conventional crushing, grinding and


Conventional Cu/Au flotation to produce a sulphide concentrate that will be sold to third parties for
concentrator with smelting and refining. With an initial 11-year mine life and at a throughput rate of
good by-product ~2Mtpa the project is expected to produce ~20 000 tpa of copper and
potential
~13 000 ozpa of gold in a sulphide concentrate. Magnetite, cobalt and uranium
present upside potential as by-products.
~3~

Tailings and waste rock will be deposited in surface dumps adjacent to the
processing plant and respective pits. Water will be sourced primarily from pit de-
watering.

The project is expected to directly employ in excess of 200 people as both


residential staff and on Fly-In-Fly-Out (FIFO) arrangements. Local contractors will
be utilised during both the construction and operational phases of the project.

Completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and the Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIS) is planned for the end of Q1/2009. Subject to receipt of the
Schedule in place
targeting first
relevant project approvals and permits, and procurement of the necessary long
production in late lead items, construction is expected to commence in late 2009, targeting first
2010 production in Q3/2010.

PROJECT SCOPE & PARAMETERS


GEOLOGY & RESOURCES: The resource base for the Cloncurry Copper Project
is made up of six main deposits located in three different geological settings, three
deposits at the E1 Camp (E1 North, South and East), two at Monakoff (Monakoff
and Monakoff East) and one deposit on the edge of Cloncurry at the historical
Great Australia mine (see Figures 1 & 2).
The six resources have been estimated using a combination of inverse distance
JORC Compliant and ordinary kriging. Each of the resources has been reviewed either by
Resource Base independent consultants and/or by Exco’s resource geologists. The resources
have been classified using the JORC code as either Indicated or Inferred (with a
minor amount of unclassified material, depending on the resource). The resource
base is summarized in Table 1.
Infill drilling continues targeting conversion of ~25 million tonnes of the existing ~36
Infill drilling will
million tonnes of CCP resources (see Table 1) to the indicated category (and
convert project
resources to the ultimately to a probable reserve) as the basis for an initial 11-year mine life. This
Indicated category drilling and subsequent resource modelling will be completed during Q3/2008 to
enable incorporation into the DFS.

MINING: The PFS has assessed the economic viability of mining operations at the
six deposits including development of open-pits and the infrastructure required to
access, mine and dispose of waste rock.
The study has produced pit designs, inventories, a schedule and costs associated
with feeding 2 Mtpa of ore to concentrator facility located at the E1 Camp.
On the basis of work completed during the PFS, mining inventories currently total
Strip Ratio = 4.5:1 21.4 Mt of ore at 0.92% Cu and 0.25 g/t Au with an average Net Smelter Return
(NSR) value of $35.6/t of ore. The total mining inventory of 117.1 Mt includes
95.7 Mt of waste at a strip ratio of 4.5:1.
Pit optimisations have been carried out assuming a copper price of US$2.00/lb,
which Exco currently considers conservative.

Mining Inventories
Inventories are expected to increase once infill drilling has been completed and
likely to increase subsequent resource modelling and pit re-optimisation work carried out at a range
of copper prices.

PROCESSING & METALLURGY: A number of metallurgical testwork programs


have previously been completed on the CCP ores with an emphasis on flotation.
The PFS testwork program therefore focused primarily on the comminution section
with the overall aim of obtaining sufficient information to develop a robust process
flow sheet for a 2 Mtpa copper-gold concentrator.
~4~

The results show that the majority of samples tested for ore competency are
categorised as hard to very hard favouring the inclusion of a Ball Mill, rather than a
SAG mill as part of the comminution circuit.
The results of the previous flotation testwork can be summarised as follows:
Testwork has • Most primary sulphide composites float well
demonstrated good • There are indications that the copper minerals are fine in size. Finer primary
Cu & Au recoveries
grinds gave an improved copper recovery and concentrate grade
• Gold recovery is associated with copper recovery, cobalt is associated with
pyrite
• Regrinding the rougher concentrate achieves higher re-cleaner concentrate
grades
Metal recoveries are 92% for primary Copper and 80% for Gold.
The current process flowsheet incorporates a single processing line, including a
Simple & three stage crushing circuit, stockpile, reclaim, ball mill in closed circuit with cyclone
conventional process classification, flotation, high rate thickening of concentrate and tailings, pressure
flowsheet filtration of concentrate and truck load-out facilities. Further testwork will be
conducted as part of the DFS to refine this design.

Figure 3: Conceptual Process Flow Sheet

INFRASTRUCTURE & LOGISTICS: Infrastructure development for the project


includes access and haul roads, water supply, power supply, camp
accommodation, the process plant infrastructure and a Tailings Storage Facility.
Sufficient work has been completed to provide preliminary design information and
cost estimates consistent with the level of detail required for the PFS. Further
detailed design will be carried out during the DFS.
Initial transport and logistics studies have been carried out to assess the facilities
Existing available during construction and for product transport. Cloncurry has extensive
infrastructure is well
infrastructure serving the town, with good road and rail access, and an airfield
established
capable of accommodating mid range (Fokker 100) type aircraft. No major issues
are expected as to the delivery of equipment as the existing infrastructure is well
developed.
Concentrate will be trucked either directly to the Mt Isa smelter as is the case from
~5~

the Ernest Henry operation, or to existing loading sheds in Cloncurry. The


concentrate would be transferred to rail cars in Cloncurry and moved to the port of
Townsville where it would be transferred to ship for international markets.
Queensland Rail has provided quotations for the cost of transporting the
concentrate to Townsville.

ENVIRONMENTAL: An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is currently being


prepared for the CCP, according to the requirements of the Environmental
Protection Act 1994. Potential impacts on the environment due to the construction
and operation of the project will be assessed, and appropriate mitigation strategies
outlined to minimise environmental harm.
The following summary describes the progress of the EIS:
• Draft Initial Advice Statement and Terms of Reference have been completed and
EIS baseline studies are awaiting submission.
well underway
• The wet and dry season flora/fauna assessments have been completed.
• The soil survey has been undertaken and the soil samples are undergoing
laboratory analysis.
• Noise loggers have been deployed on site to collect data for analysis and
modelling.
• Air quality, groundwater, surface water, waste rock and cultural heritage are
progressing with final reports expected in the coming months.

The following additional baseline studies will be undertaken in the coming months:
• Visual amenity
• Social Impact Assessment
• Aquatic Flora and Fauna studies
• Environmental Risk Assessment

CAPITAL COST SUMMARY

The total PFS capital cost estimate for the CCP is ~A$209M. Table 3 provides a
summary of the CAPEX by area.

Capex of A$209M in The costs are for a 2 Mtpa Cu-Au concentrator based in the Cloncurry district of
line with industry NW Queensland. The costs, which are presented in second quarter 2008
benchmarks Australian dollars, are considered to have an accuracy of ± 25% and are consistent
with a number of industry benchmarks.
Major equipment costs are based on budget quotes received from vendors. All
other items are based on either in-house database information, allowances or
information obtained from suppliers.

Opportunities to It is important to note that the Mining CAPEX includes both the costs for mine
optimise Mining development (pre-strip) and the cost of an owner mining fleet. The treatment of
Capex during DFS these costs will be looked at together with the preferred mining regime (i.e., owner
mining versus contract mining and dry hire alternatives) during the DFS phase.
During the DFS the Company will also be investigating the impact of increasing
Incremental Capex throughput from 2 to 2.5Mtpa. Conceptual estimates suggest project costs will
required to increase
throughput and increase by ~10% for a 25% increase in throughput. Additional Capital Cost
recover by-products estimates will also be compiled during the DFS phase in the context of recovering
by-product magnetite and uranium.

PROJECT FINANCIAL MODEL

A detailed financial model has been constructed for the project by Exco using
capital and operating costs developed by GRD Minproc and commodity price
assumptions based on published forward curves, as summarised in Table 5.
For the purposes of the PFS, the financial analysis has been conducted on a
project basis only. The analysis is on an un-escalated basis and assumes financing
by shareholders.
The principal project case assessed, assumes that the concentrate product is sold
domestically to Australian smelters on a CFR (Cost and Freight) basis with
assumed off-take terms.
The base case model includes only copper and gold products.

Australian dollars unless stated otherwise
The project life of 11 years is based on mining indicated and inferred resources
delineated in US$2/lb pit shells.

Robust Base Case The base case NPV of A$126.7 million is considered robust with the project
NPV of A$126.7M economics and payback period expected to improve during the DFS on the basis
of:
• further resource upgrades
Significant potential • re-optimising pit shells at a range of higher copper prices
to further improve
project economics • optimising the preferred mining scenario and associated costs, and
• inclusion of additional by-product credits from Cobalt and Magnetite

Finance discussions The financial model will also be further refined during the DFS to incorporate
underway project finance arrangements. Preliminary discussions have commenced with a
number of potential project finance partners.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Preliminary sensitivity analyses have been conducted for the project to assess the
effects of changes in key parameters (i.e., copper price, mined Cu grade,
concentrate Cu grade, Opex and Capex) on the IRR, NPV and the pre-tax cash
surplus.
The NPV is most sensitive to the copper price, which is currently assumed to
average US$2.72/lb over the life of the project, and mined copper grade.

In addition to the potential by-product revenue, several inherent process benefits


Additional process may also be realised by the inclusion of a magnetite recovery circuit. These include
benefits from Fe3O4 additional copper, gold and cobalt recovery realised by scavenger flotation of the
recovery reground cleaner magnetic tails and an approximate 30% reduction in the tails
thickening and storage duty.
The CCP resource base also contains valuable amounts of uranium. While the
Queensland State Government currently prohibits the mining of uranium, it is
considered possible that future mining may ultimately be allowed, creating the
opportunity for a further viable by-product stream. The conceptual process
flowsheet (acid leaching of the tailings stream) and economics of uranium recovery
will be more clearly defined in the DFS.

DEFINTIVE FEASIBILITY STUDY & PROJECT SCHEDULE
