Investor Overview
Selwyn Resources Ltd. is a publicly traded, Canadian base metals exploration and development company. The company's core project is the World class Selwyn Project, located in eastern Yukon. The Selwyn Project has reactivated the Howard's Pass zinc-lead district, and since 2005 the company has invested approximately $70M to define Selwyn deposit as one of the largest undeveloped zinc-lead deposit in the world. A bankable feasibility study is in progress with Wardrop Engineering, scheduled for completion by the end of 2011.

Selwyn has completed in August 2010 a 50:50 Joint Venture Agreement with Yunnan Chihong Zinc and Germanium Co. Ltd. Chihong, a fully integrated zinc-lead mining and smelting company based in Yunnan Province in southern China, to invest $100 Million to advance Selwyn Project to bankable feasibility and complete permitting. Selwyn and Yunnan Chihong have formed Selwyn Chihong Mining Ltd. to advance the project and have launched an approximate $85M exploration and development programs of definition drilling, engineering, permitting and initial underground development to complete bankable feasibility study, permitting and project financing by mid 2012.
Chihong and Selwyn have agreed to pool their interests for the purposes of securing senior debt financing from the export banks in China providing a clear path forward for project financing and a timeline for completion of project financing and mine/mill construction and commissioning in early 2014 when zinc and lead prices are expected to be very strong.. Access to the Asian markets for project financing is seen as a very positive development for Selwyn and Selwyn Project.
Initial mine development will be focused on new high grade resources with proposed mining of 8000 tpd from the XY Central and Don zones to produce approximately 255,000 tpa of zinc and 65,000 tpa of lead and be one of the largest zinc-lead mines in the world. With probable expansions with development of other mineral zones, production will likely rival the largest producers.
The Company will be regularly updating shareholders on resource definition drilling, metallurgical and other engineering program and progress on permitting and First Nations negotiations.
