THIRD QUARTER 2013 HIGHLIGHTS
July 2013 - the Company announced that Gold Fields Exploration B.V., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields" or collectively with
certain of its subsidiaries, the "Gold Fields Group") completed the subscription
for 25 million units of the Company (each a "Unit") at a price of CAD$0.40 per
Unit for gross proceeds of CAD$10 million (the "Subscription"), with each Unit
consisting of one common Share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one half of
one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each
Warrant will be exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issue
to acquire one Common Share at a price of CAD$0.50. The Company received the
formal waiver of the Kazakh Government's pre-emptive right as well as consent
from the relevant Kazakh authorities for the issuance and placement of
securities pursuant to the Subscription, which satisfied the condition for such
completion (the "Kazakh Formal Waiver"). Accordingly, the Company issued to Gold
Fields 25,000,000 Common Shares and 12,500,000 Warrants. Following the issuance
the Gold Fields Group hold, in aggregate 26,134,919 Common Shares, representing
a 14.31% interest in the Company.
September 2013 - the Company announced that following the expiry on September 1,
2013 of an exclusivity agreement with David-Invest LLP previously announced in
November 2012, the Company entered into the Akdjol-Tokhtazan Exclusivity
Agreement in which David-Invest was granted the exclusive right until December
31, 2013 to acquire the Akdjol-Tokhtazan Project for $4.5 million in return for
funding an exploration progamme until such date (see section entitled
"Operational Review - Akdjol-Tokhtazan Project, Kyrgyzstan" of the Company's
MD&A for full details). Other than the terms described above, there have been no
significant changes to the terms of the original exclusivity agreement signed in
2012.
September 2013 - the Company announced that it had entered into the Balkhash
Agreement to continue joint exploration work with Asem Tas-N LLC ("Asem Tas")
and had agreed to an amended work programme for the remainder of 2013 (the
"Amended 2013 Work Programme"). Under the terms of the Balkhash Agreement the
Exclusivity Period (as defined in "Operational Review - Balkhash Project,
Kazakhstan") ends in March 2014, subject to extension by the mutual agreement of
both parties (see "Operational Review - Balkhash Project, Kazakhstan" for full
details).
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
The Company's principal and most advanced project is the property, within the
Republic of Kazakhstan (or "Kazakhstan"), comprising a license area in eastern
Kazakhstan containing the Karchiga volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposit
which is part of the Rudny Altai polymetallic belt (the "Karchiga Project"). In
addition the Company continues to seek to acquire new exploration license areas
within Kazakhstan. The Company also holds exploration licenses within the Kyrgyz
Republic (or "Kyrgyzstan").
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company continued to jointly
explore the Balkhash Project with Asem Tas as well as continuing to seek finance
for the Karchiga Project.
The Company has continued to use, and will continue to use, its current working
capital resources to satisfy the Company's expenditure obligations in respect of
its corporate and administrative expenditures, as well as the obligations under
the Balkhash Agreement and the acquisition of any new mineral exploration
properties. However, the current working capital resources are not sufficient to
meet the financing requirements relating to the construction of mine and
processing facilities for the Karchiga Project, for which separate project
financing is required as described below.
Karchiga Copper Project, Kazakhstan
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company continued to seek
finance for and planning for the construction of mine and processing facilities
for the Karchiga Project. As part of the process of planning for the
construction of the mine and processing facilities for the Karchiga Project, in
the first quarter of 2013 the Company obtained the remaining local and
regulatory approvals required for the commencement of mining and construction.
In 2012 the Company completed a feasibility study for the Karchiga Project, (the
"Karchiga Definitive Feasibility Study") the results of which estimated an
initial capital expenditure requirement of $115 million for the Karchiga
Project. To assist the Company in arranging finance for such expenditures, in
July 2012, the Company appointed Barclays Bank plc ("Barclays") and UniCredit
Bank AG ("UniCredit") (together the "Mandated Lead Arrangers") to use
commercially reasonable efforts to secure debt financing of up to $90 million
(subject to commercially acceptable terms for the facility being agreed and the
Mandated Lead Arrangers obtaining the necessary internal approvals).
As at the date of this press release the Company continues with its efforts to
secure finance for the Karchiga Project. Until such time as it is able to secure
the required financing, the Company will not enter into any contracts to place
advance orders for mining equipment or construction materials and will be unable
to determine the expected timing for the commencement of construction (see the
"Liquidity and capital resources" section below and "Risks and uncertainties"
section of the Company's MD&A).
Balkhash Project, Kazakhstan
In September 2013 the Company announced that it had entered into the Balkhash
Agreement. The Balkhash Agreement replaces the initial exclusivity agreement
which the Company previously announced in November 2012 and the subsequent
successor agreement previously announced on April 22, 2013.
The Balkhash Agreement
The key terms of the Balkhash Agreement with Asem Tas to jointly explore the
Balkhash Project include:
1. Orsu has been granted a further exclusive right for a period of 175
days, ending in March 2014 (previously expiring in September 2013 under
the April 2013 agreement), subject to extension by mutual agreement of
the parties (the "Exclusivity Period") to explore and participate in the
Balkhash Project.
2. During the Exclusivity Period:
a. Orsu and Asem Tas will continue to jointly explore the Balkhash
Project, including geophysical works and verification drilling of
exploration targets;
b. Orsu will provide funding for exploration works at the Balkhash
Project in the amount of approximately $1.4 million under the
Amended 2013 Work Programme (including $0.9 million already spent in
2013) representing an increase of approximately $0.5 million over
the original work programme; and
c. Asem Tas will apply to transfer the exploration license for the
Balkhash Project to a newly formed Kazakh legal entity jointly owned
by Orsu and Asem Tas (the "Joint Venture Company"), which will be a
subsidiary of Orsu, with Orsu holding an effective interest of 55%.
A transfer of the exploration license to the Joint Venture Company
will be conditional upon obtaining a formal waiver of the Kazakh
Government's pre-emptive right.
3. Orsu has agreed to pay Asem Tas:
a. up to $1.5 million to compensate Asem Tas for historical exploration
costs incurred prior to 2012 (excluding any costs funded by Orsu) on
effective transfer of the exploration license;
b. $20 per tonne of economically extractable copper equivalent, up to a
maximum of $10 million, less any amount paid under item 3) a. above,
on completion of a positive preliminary economic assessment study;
and
c. $20 per additional tonne of economically extractable copper
equivalent, up to a maximum of $15 million, less any amounts paid
under 3) a. and 3) b. above, on completion of a positive definitive
feasibility study.
4. Orsu may terminate its funding at any point before the earlier of the
effective transfer of the exploration license or the end of the
Exclusivity Period. Where the approval of the relevant authorities for
the transfer of the license is not received due to a breach by Asem Tas,
or the Kazakh Government exercises its pre-emptive right to acquire the
license during the transfer process, Asem Tas is required to refund Orsu
for its expenditure in connection with the original agreement signed in
November 2012 agreement and the Amended 2013 Work Programme (including
the amounts already funded under the April 2013 agreement).
5. Orsu will finance the works until completion of the definitive
feasibility study, subject to any earlier termination of funding, and
Orsu will be responsible for securing debt and financing for the
project.
6. Under the terms of the Balkhash Agreement, Orsu will have the right to
buy-out all or part of the interest of Asem Tas in the Joint Venture
Company, for cash or shares, at a price determined by an independent
expert.
FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company reported a net loss on
continuing operations of $4.4 million, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
In July 2013, following the completion of the Subscription the Company received
CAD$10 million (approximately $9.6 million) (see "Derivative financial
instruments" below).
The net loss of $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013
consisted of administrative costs of $0.8 million, legal and professional costs
of $0.1 million, exploration costs of $0.7 million and a realized loss of $1.2
million in relation to the derivative receivable following the completion of the
Subscription. These losses partially offset by an unrealized derivative gain in
relation to share warrant liabilities of $0.2 million, a net foreign exchange
gain of $0.1 million and net finance income of $0.1 million.
As at September 30, 2013 the Company had net assets of $27.8 million ($29.8
million as at December 31, 2012) of which $12.8 million was cash and cash
equivalents ($9.8 million as at December 31, 2012).
In respect of the Company's cash flows, the increase in cash and cash
equivalents for the nine months to September 30, 2013 was $3.0 million compared
to an increase of $3.1 million for the nine months to September 30, 2012. The
increase of $3.0 million for the nine months to September 30, 2013 was due
primarily to the receipt of CAD$10 million, realizing $9.6 million, in relation
to the Subscription in July 2013. This was partially offset by corporate and
exploration expenditure of $5.2 million, a further $1.3 million for expenditure
on property, plant and equipment, and deferred finance costs of $0.1 million in
relation to debt finance for the Karchiga Project.
Derivative financial instruments
As at September 30, 2013, the Company's derivative instruments consist of a
derivative liability in relation to the Warrants issued to Gold Fields pursuant
to the Subscription and previously, prior to the completion of the Subscription,
a derivative receivable.
In 2012 the Company sold its 40% interest in a property in northwest Kyrgyzstan
(the "Talas Project") to Gold Fields for cash consideration of $10 million (the
"Sale"). At the same time the Gold Fields Group entered into an agreement to
subscribe for 25 million Units of the Company, consisting of 25 million Common
Shares and 12.5 million Warrants of the Company for gross proceeds of CAD$10
million. Completion of the Subscription was conditional on the Company obtaining
the Kazakh Formal Waiver and the Company considered the Subscription to be a
derivative receivable until completion of the Subscription.
a) Derivative receivable
On July 24, 2013 the Company successfully obtained the Kazakh Formal Waiver
satisfying all the conditions of the Subscription. As a result, the Company
completed the Subscription and subsequently received the gross cash proceeds of
CAD$10 million, realizing $9.6 million and a further CAD$35,446 accumulated
interest.
The net loss on the completion of the Subscription as at September 30, 2013 is

The Company's share warrant liability consists of 12.5 million Warrants issued
to Gold Fields in July 2013. Each Warrant is exercisable over a period of three
years from the date of issue to acquire one Common Share of the Company at a
price of CAD$0.50. All of the Warrants issued to Gold Fields are subject to a
hold restriction for 4 months.

Liquidity and capital resources
As at September 30, 2013 the Company's main source of liquidity was unrestricted
cash and cash equivalents of $12.8 million, compared with $9.8 million as at
December 31, 2012.
The Company measures its consolidated working capital as comprising free cash,
accounts receivable, prepayments and other receivables, less accounts payable
and accrued liabilities. As at September 30, 2013 the Company's consolidated
working capital was $13.1 million.
The Company's working capital needs as at September 30, 2013 included the
maintenance of funding for its exploration and development activities, including
its expenditure obligations under the Balkhash Agreement, the acquisition of new
mineral exploration properties, its corporate and administrative expenditure
requirements and potential contributions towards project finance, if and when
arranged, in relation to the Karchiga Project, as deemed appropriate. The
Company expects to fund its working capital requirements for 2013, other than as
set out below, and be able to contribute towards the pursuit of future growth
opportunities (which may include acquiring one or more additional assets), if
and when such opportunities arise, from its unrestricted cash of $12.8 million
as at September 30, 2013 and potential net proceeds, if any, from the sale of
the Akdjol-Tokhtazan Project. In the Company's view, the consolidated working
capital as at September 30, 2013 is sufficient to satisfy its working capital
needs, other than as described below, for at least the next twelve months.
The construction of mining facilities and commencement of mining operations at
the Karchiga Project, if any, will require an estimated initial CAPEX of $115
million (see "Operational review - Karchiga copper project, Kazakhstan" of the
Company's MD&A) for which the Company will be required to raise additional
financing in the future. If the Company secures the required debt financing on
acceptable commercial terms then it may also apply a proportion of the
Subscription proceeds towards the project financing requirements as the Company
determines necessary. Whilst the Company has been successful in raising debt and
other financing in the past, the Company's ability to raise additional debt and
other financing may be affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's
control, including, but not limited to, adverse market conditions and/or
commodity price changes and economic downturn and those other factors that are
listed under "Risks and Uncertainties" in the Company's MD&A.

future growth (including new opportunities and acquisitions) and its ability to
raise or secure new funding.
The forward-looking information in this press release and the Company's MD&A
reflects the current expectations, assumptions or beliefs of the Company based
on information currently available to the Company. With respect to
forward-looking information contained in this press release and the Company's
MD&A, the Company has made assumptions regarding, among other things, the
Company's ability to generate sufficient funds from debt sources and/or capital
markets to meet its future expected obligations and planned activities
(including the ability of the Mandated Lead Arrangers to secure a project debt
finance facility on terms acceptable to the Company), the Company's business
(including the continued exploration and development of, as applicable, the
Karchiga Project and the Balkhash Project and the timing and methods to be
employed with respect to same), the estimation of mineral resources and mineral
reserves, the parameters and assumptions employed in the Karchiga Definitive
Feasibility Study Report, the economy and the mineral exploration and extraction
industry in general, the political environments and the regulatory frameworks in
Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan with respect to, among other things, the mining
industry generally, royalties, taxes, environmental matters and the Company's
ability to obtain, maintain, renew and/or extend required permits, licenses,
authorisations and/or approvals from the appropriate regulatory authorities,
including the previous waiver granted by the Competent Authority covers any
pre-emptive right that the Competent Authority or State has in respect of any
past placements, future capital, operating and production costs and cash flow
discounts, anticipated mining and processing rates, the Company's ability to
continue to obtain qualified staff and equipment in a timely and cost-efficient
manner, assumptions relating to the Company's critical accounting policies, and
has also assumed that no unusual geological or technical problems occur, and
that equipment works as anticipated, no material adverse change in the price of
copper, gold or molybdenum occurs and no significant events occur outside of the
Company's normal course of business.
Forward-looking information is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties
that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking information, and even if such actual results
are realised or substantially realised, there can be no assurance that they will
have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. Factors that
could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current
expectations include, but are not limited to: risks normally incidental to
exploration and development of mineral properties and operating hazards;
uncertainties in the interpretation of results from drilling and metallurgical
test work; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining
results will not be consistent with expectations; uncertainty of mineral
resource and mineral reserve estimates; technical and design factors;
uncertainty of capital and operating costs, production and economic returns;
uncertainties relating to the estimates and assumptions used, and risks in the
methodologies employed, in the Karchiga Definitive Feasibility Study Report;
adverse changes in commodity prices; the inability of the Company to obtain
required financing on favourable terms or at all (including with respect to the
debt financing expected to be secured by the Mandated Lead Arrangers) or the
disposition of the Akdjol-Tokhtazan Project; the Company's inability to obtain,
maintain, renew and/or extend required licenses, permits, authorizations and/or
approvals from the appropriate regulatory authorities, including (without
limitation) the Company's inability to obtain (or a delay in obtaining) the
necessary construction and development permits and other risks relating to the
regulatory frameworks in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan; adverse changes in the
political environments in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and the laws governing the
Company, its subsidiaries and their respective business activities; inflation;
changes in exchange and interest rates; adverse general market conditions; lack
of availability, at a reasonable cost or at all, of equipment or labour; the
inability to attract and retain key management and personnel; the possibility of
non-resident class members commencing individual claims in connection with the
Claim; the Company's inability to delineate additional mineral resources and
mineral reserves; and future unforeseen liabilities and other factors including,
but not limited to, those listed under "Risks and Uncertainties" in the
Company's MD&A.
Any mineral resource and mineral reserve figures referred to in this press
release and the Company's MD&A are estimates and no assurances can be given that
the indicated levels of minerals will be produced. Such estimates are
expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of
drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time
may significantly change when new information becomes available. While the
Company believes that the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates in
respect of its properties are well established, by their nature mineral resource
and mineral reserve estimates are imprecise and depend, to a certain extent,
upon statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. If such
mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are inaccurate or are reduced in
the future, this could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Due to the
uncertainty that may be attached to inferred mineral resources, it cannot be
assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to
an indicated or measured mineral resource as a result of continued exploration.
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability.
Any forward-looking information speaks only as of the date on which it is made
and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company
disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking information,
whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise.
Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the
forward-looking information are reasonable, forward-looking information is not a
guarantee of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put
on such information due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
