INVESTING IN ALBANIA • Canada and Albania signed a Foreign Investment Protection Agreement in

INVESTING IN ALBANIA • Canada and Albania signed a Foreign Investment Protection Agreement in 2013 • Canadian companies are the largest foreign direct investors in Albania, with investments of $ 810 million by end of 2012, according to the Albanian Investment Development Agency • Investments are primarily in the mining, oil and gas, power and rail sectors • Latest deal: In May, a consortium including China’s top copper producer, Jiangxi Copper, bought a 50% stake in Turkish company, Nesko Metal’s Albanian operations for $ 65 million.

The Licence is for 25 years, with a 10 year renewal option The Exploration License area is 2, 300 hectares (in purple)

NI 43 -101 Report • Arian commissioned a National Instrument 43 -101 report from

NI 43 -101 Report • Arian commissioned a National Instrument 43 -101 report from three independent Canadian geologists to verify the historic resource and bring it into compliance with Canadian reporting requirements. The report was completed in May 2014 • Using all the historic data, an inferred resource estimate was computed which came out to be: 4. 66 million tonnes @ 2. 12% copper • This was consistent with the historic resource estimates done by the Rubik Geological Society • Our initial thinking is that with a 1, 500 tonnes per day production rate, the existing resource would provide a potential 9 year mine life • Significant upside potential: gold, silver and zinc. Very little assaying done historically for anything other than copper. But Balkan and Arian drilling indicates high grade gold, zinc and silver

MASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE AT PERLAT • The Perlat Project has massive infrastructure in place. There are three shafts, adits, ventilation shafts, an extensive network of underground tunnels, galleries, elevator shafts. All of these are extensively cemented • Estimates of the replacement cost of this infrastructure, from various geologists and mining engineers Arian has shown this to range, from $ 18 to $ 20 million • This value is in addition to the current resource
