Cautionary Statements
Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future
events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks
and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Such risks may include, without limitation: risks and uncertainties relating to foreign currency
fluctuations; risks inherent in mining including environmental hazards, unusual or unexpected
geological formations, ground control problems and flooding; risks associated with the
estimation of mineral resources and reserves and the geology, grade and continuity of mineral
deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be
consistent with the Company’s expectations; the potential for and effects of labor disputes or
other unanticipated difficulties with or shortages of labor or interruptions in production; actual
ore mined varying from estimates of grade, tonnage, dilution and metallurgical and other
characteristics; the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for
unexpected costs and expenses; and commodity price fluctuations.
For further details of other risks and uncertainties see Risk Factors Relating to the Company’s
Business in the Company’s Annual Information Form and in each management discussion and
analysis.

deposit, with associated cobalt, platinum, palladium & gold
Two Predominate Ore Types:
I.
Massive Unit (MU)
– Pyrrhotite, pentlandite,chalcopyrite
– Soft, high grade
II.
Semi-Massive Unit (SMU)
– Serpentine, talc, chlorites and other
silicates
– Harder, lower grade

Eagle Production Stats (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22)
• Performance to date is ahead of
expectations and remains on track to meet
or exceed 2014 production guidance
• Operating stats during the first month have
already achieved design rates in some
cases
28
Transport and Marketing
• Rail spur was built connecting mill site to Canadian National Railroad network
• Concentrates will be loaded to covered rails cars for shipping to smelters or ports
• All concentrate off take agreements have been finalized:
• Nickel: Three off take agreements in place for 2+ years

agreement at annual market terms
29
LOM Production & Cost Profile
• Average Life of Mine (LOM) production of 17 ktpa Ni and 17 ktpa Cu at cash
costs (excl. royalties) of ~$2.50/lb Ni
• Average production in first three full years of 23 ktpa Ni and 20 ktpa Cu at
cash costs (excl. royalties) of approximately $2.00/lb Ni
