Forward-Looking Statements Disclaimer This document contains certain "forward – looking statements", including, but not limited to, statements concerning current and future drilling programmes, estimation of mineral resources, the continuing development plan, the type of mineralisation present and expected results. Information inferred from the interpretation of drilling results may be deemed to be a forward looking statement, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed. Statements and estimates concerning mineral resources may also be deemed to be forward looking statements in that they involve estimates, based on certain assumptions, regarding the mineralisation that would be encountered if and when a mineral deposit is actually developed and mined. Forward looking statements are not historical facts, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties beyond management’s control. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause results or future events to differ materially from current expectations expressed or implied by the forward – looking statements include, among other things, but without limitation, those set forth in the Annual Report and the website (www.zamia.com.au) of Zamia Metals Limited (‘Zamia’).

Molybdenum - Chemical Symbol Mo Attributes: Heavy metal Very high melting point + 2,600°C Steel, alloyed with Mo, is stronger & more resistant to heat & corrosion Major uses: Construction steel Stainless steel Emerging uses: Thin film solar panels Clean, efficient production of hydrogen ASX:ZGM Source: Mineral Information Institute Source: International Molybdenum Association 8
Molybdenum Price ASX:ZGM 9
Molybdenum Price Supply: 25 years of low Mo prices until 2005: – Little exploration – Last new large Mo mine – 1982 – New mines delayed by financial crisis Existing mines require expansion Demand: By- product producers can’t Consumption grew by 6%p.a. easily expand production between 2002 – 2010 Supply deficit requires new Demand increase 4 – 6%p.a. producers next 20 years Chinese continuing to stockpile Source: Roskill Market Outlook to 2014 Supply deficit anticipated by 2014 ASX:ZGM 10

Australian Molybdenum Projects Anthony Zamia Metals Limited Location: 240KM SW of Mackay Resource: 173Mt inferred resource with 430ppm Mo Status: • Scoping Study underway • Further resource upgrades within a few months • Excellent location • Pre-concentration gives 1000ppm Mo process throughput • Based on US$17.30/lb price and Merlin Spinifex Ridge 100% recovery, the value of the Ivanhoe Australia Limited Moly Mines Limited ore is US$38.12/tonne Location: Sth of Cloncurry Location: 140km E of Port Hedland Resource: 6.7Mt resource with Resource: 652Mt measured and Whitewash 1.34% Mo, indicated resources grading Aussie Q Resources Limited Status: 0.05%Mo, 0.08%Cu and 1.3g/tAg Location: 130Km W of Bundaberg • Average life-of-mine costs of Status: Resource: 71Mt inferred resource with US$115/tonne due to underground • Proposed to have open cut starting 300ppm Mo, 0.1%Cu and 1.2g/t Ag steeply dipping narrow ore body; with 10mtpa production increasing Status: driving decline to underground to 20mtpa in year 7. • Raised capital for scoping study to resource (Feb 2011); • Capex for 10mtpa case is $674m commence in Q1, 2011; • PFS planned to be completed Q1, ($76m already spent). • Resource update planned for April 2011; 2011. • Financing dependent on better Mo • No clear geological model. • Still looking at roasting options to prices above US17.30/lb and/or • Low Mo and Cu grade so one will maximise Rhenium value as better exchange rate (ASX 18 Jan contaminate the other. Rhenium provides 40% value in ore 2011). • At 300 ppm (0.66 lb/tonne) Mo US$17.30/lb • Decision by end of 2011 price value of ore is US$11.40/tonne at 100% recovery; at 0.1% (2.2lb) Cu and US$4.30/lb value of Cu at 100% recovery is US$9.50/tonne of ore. • However, Mo recoveries are likely to be lower than Zamia because of cross contamination of Cu and Mo in concentrates ASX:ZGM
