About TVI Pacific Inc. (TSX: TVI)

TVI Pacific Inc. is a publicly-listed Canadian mining company focused on exploring for and producing precious and base metals within district scale systems in Asia.

In the Philippines, TVI’s most advanced project, the Canatuan Mine, began mining and milling operations in mid-2004, producing gold and silver doré. Mill throughput is currently 1,600+ dmtpd (>170 AuEqOz per day avg.) from a gossan/oxide zone. Further expansion of the mill’s processing capacity is underway. TVI has received a completed feasibility study on the
Canatuan Sulphide project prepared by Norwest Corporation. The Norwest study, now filed on SEDAR, addresses the copper-zinc bearing massive sulphide zone, or lower portion of the Canatuan Deposit. A separate plant will be constructed to process the sulphide ore if a determination is made to bring the Sulphide Project into production. In addition, TVI holds a 2.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the Philippine-based Rapu Rapu project (the second
foreign-invested, new, mining project in the Philippines operated by Lafayette Mining Ltd.).

Exploration in the Philippines is being conducted at Canatuan (both to expand TVI’s resource base and to find new deposits), and at Balabag, Tamarok and Tapisa, which the management of TVI views as compelling exploration properties.

In China, TVI’s wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Hunan Pacific Geological Exploration Inc. (HPGEI) is the first and only foreign mining company to be granted both WOFE status and a Qualified Explorer License. HPGEI has three main areas of interest in China - gold exploration in the Golden Triangle, a prospective metallogenic region in the provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi Autonomous Region, copper/gold exploration in Yunnan Province and copper/gold exploration in the Tibet Autonomous Region. HPGEI has 168,200+ hectares of land under application in China in the Golden Triangle and in the Tibet A.R.

TVI also has a Drilling Division comprising of Exploration Drilling Corporation (EDCO), a whollyowned subsidiary of TVI Pacific Inc. based in the Philippines, and Hunan Pacific Drilling (HPD), a division of HPGEI based in China which generates revenue from contract drilling.
