


FEC Maden Enerji A.Ş. (“FEC” or “the Company”) was established in May 2010 for the purposes of exploration, development &
production of gold in Haymana region, a district of Ankara province in Turkey.
Building on the work of its main shareholder; RNG Holdings AG (“RNG” or “RNG Holdings”), FEC obtained five gold exploration
licenses between May and June, 2010. In addition, the Company is at its final stages of receiving additional five exploration
licenses of similar character.
The licenses were acquired based on proprietary information related to the Company's own and external studies in the area. These
studies indicated high reserves potential and above average gold concentration per tonne (“pt”).
On July, 2010 the Company engaged SRK Danismanlik ve Muhendislik A.Ş. (“SRK Consulting”) to begin performing studies, with the
first results expected at early August, 2010. Spektra Jeotek Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.Ş was engaged as the contractors to assist in the
early drilling stages.
FEC is currently examining its capital needs to address its strategic expansion in exploring and developing its current resources. The
Company invites interested parties to participate in its story.

The Company’s long term vision is to develop a vertically integrated organization involved in the various stages of the
exploration, development, production and trade of gold and other metals.
Through the short to medium term, based on existing ground work, the Company would aim to cooperate with the leaders of mining
industry to progress its current projects towards operational stage.
To minimize risks, FEC employs the latest technology in exploration such as structure-metric analysis as well as traditional methods of
geophysics, seismic survey and drilling.
The Company has developed a good relationship with local authorities, and will aim to maintain the mutual understanding and
support through various social participations such as the Rotary Club, United Way along with other activities involving local
communities.
FEC will aim to adopt the highest standards related to environment and safety, that will be emphasized through the use of the latest
technology and environment and safety procedures implemented in operation.
As of August 2010, the Company incurred close to USD 2.5 million (“mln”) in total expenses. The expenses were funded through cash
meaning that the Company is debt free.

The Company currently holds titles to five exploration licenses (“upper region”) and is in its final stages of approval for additional five
exploration licenses (“lower region”) in the region of Haymana, Turkey.
The upper region covers an area of 8,752 hectares (“ha”) or 87 km2 . On July, 2010 the Company engaged SRK Consulting to begin
performing geological studies, with the first results expected at early August, 2010. Spektra Jeotek Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Spektra”)
was sub contracted to assist in the early drilling stages. Additional details on the licenses and the location are provided on slides 7-10.
The lower region is located within the same region. Due to the most recent changes in Turkey’s mining legislation a number of
procedures in issuing exploration licenses have been modified. This resulted in minor delays in the issue of the exploration licenses
applying to the lower region. The terms between the Company and the relevant bodies have been reached. The Company is permitted
to perform basic exploration work while awaiting the full exploration licenses.
With the stage of geological studies and initial drilling completed the Company will adopt an open pit approach.
The primary product focus for the Company is gold of 21.5 to 22 carat (“ct”). In addition, the Company is expecting to produce silver,
platinum , chrome, magnesium and iron ore.
The Company currently employs seven individuals on a full time basis, three of whom are geologists with a combined 30 years
experience in mining.

The upper region licenses covers 8,752 ha or 87 km2 .
The region of the exploration and nearby surrounding
benefits from high concentration of water resources, which is a
positive factor that tends to benefit local mining. The low
density of the regions’ is also a positive factor. Lower density
eases the extraction of minerals and reduces operating
expenses.
The favorable climate combined with exiting regulation allows
a mine to operate 10 months a year.
Turkey’s mining regulation in brief
10







The mining industry in Turkey is regulated by the Turkish mining law. The General Directorate of Mining Affairs (GDMA), a unit of the Ministry of Energy and
Natural Resources, is the authorized body to regulate the mining activities and issue mining licenses.
Turkey’s modern mining regime governance dates back to Mining Law No. 3213 of 1985, amended by Law No. 5177 of June 2004 to support foreign direct
investments in the sector and promote more investor friendly environment.
In the month of June 2010, the president of the republic of Turkey, Abdullah Gul, signed a new bill into Mining law No. 5995. The amendment was received
positively by the mining community and is expected to provide more transparent and efficient framework for exploration and development activities.
In essence there are two types of licenses for prospecting and operating the mines stated under the laws of the Republic of Turkey. Prospecting license, allows its
holder to carry out exploration activities in a specific area. The operational license has to phases to it, first when an operational license is issued it allows to its
holder to carry out operational activities within the same area stated in the prospecting license. The operational permit enabling its holder to operate specific mine
as specified in the operational license.
Under the Turkish mining law, mining licenses are divided into five groups which are subject to different terms and conditions on licensing principals and procedures.
Group number four covers the key metals relevant to the F.E.C which among others include: gold, silver, chrome, magnesium and ore.
The term of the exploration concerning group IV license is granted for three years and can be extended for additional two years subject to application made with
the exploration activities reports in a timely manner. Operational license are granted for a minimum of 10 years and can be extended further up to 60 years.
Gold producers are exempt from VAT payments which applies to all stages of the Company's operations. A royalty on ore processed off site will be paid to the
state for mining activities amounting to 2% of the sales value of the ore mined. Ore processed on site at the operators' plant is reduced to 1%.

inflation-adjusted basis, the high of
21st of January 1980 (USD850)
amounts to USD 2,300/ounce in today

Currently, some 0.8% of all global
financial assets are invested in gold, gold
shares, and ETFs. In 1932, the allocation
was 20% and in the last bull gold market
in the beginning of the 1980’s it was 26%.
If a total of 2% were allocated to gold,
the additional demand would amount to
about 85,000 T or the total global mining
output for almost 34 years.
A comparison with institutional cash yields
a similar result. The market capitalization
of money market funds amounted to USD
4,123bn as of 20 May. The aggregate
market value of physical gold ETFs
currently comes to slightly less than USD
70bn, i.e. only 1.7% of the volume.

Global trends in demand and supply of gold




On the demand side, some of the main trends include an
increase in investment demand and a reduction in gold
demand for jewelry purposes.
Part of the reasons include: financial instability and
unsustainable supply of paper money, new financial
products such as the exchange traded funds (ETFs), lower
mineralization of mines and an increase of production
costs. All these resulted in an increase of the price of gold
by 434% for the last decade and close to 3,400% since
1970’s.
Meanwhile, Turkey the largest consumer of gold in
Europe, the largest supplier of recycled gold in Europe is
one of the fastest growing gold producers in the world
reflecting a growth above 300% in terms of mine supply
between 2007 and year end 2009.

Mineralization and cost of gold production


From 1830 to 1920 the average content of gold per mt
was 22g, today it is 0.8g per mt. One of the main
reasons is the fact that many of the high grade, easy
extractable deposits have been depleted.

As a result, cash costs increased substantially, reaching
almost USD 500/ounce in 2009. Meanwhile the “all-in
costs” increased to USD 740/ounce. Not only are the
production costs rising exponentially – the expenditure
involved in building new mines is as well.

According to data provided by the Turkish
statistical institute, the monthly metal mining
production index in May 2010 had
increased by 34% year on year. This
compared with 13% growth with the
average industrial production and 15% with
the general mining and quarrying index.
According to the chairman of the gold
mining association, Turkey has a potential
of 6,500 mt of gold of which miners know
where 710 mt are located. An estimated
figure of USD 10 bn of capital is required
to find the rest. Today, only USD 50 mn are
spent in Turkey per year, where developed
countries with similar potential spend USD 5
bn a year.
