3. I.
Story
• Minera Sud Argentina SA (MSA) was set up as an Argentinean private
company in 2004 .
• The key drivers during early stage were management
entrepreneurial spirit and highly supportive seed investors.
with
• Management acted under the leadership of Mr. Carlos Massa, and the
seed investors were the Benetton Group in Argentina (60%) and Ing.
Alberto Orcoyen (40%).
• Our initial goal was to develop a significant portfolio of grass roots
in poorly explored areas of Patagonia.
• This was our first milestone.
• In 2006 we commenced the exploration of Chita, that became into the
“Quoin” of our flag ship, the Chita Valley Project.
2
4. I.
Story (continued)
• During the following years we extended the area to the adjacent
properties, Brechas Vacas (west) and Minas de Pinto and Chita II
claim (east), putting the area of geological interest “vis a vis” with the
mining right.
• Chita is a porphyry style mineralization with widespread indication
of epithermal high, intermediate and low sulphidation .
• At present, Minsud through its affiliate MSA, controls the properties as
follows:
• MSA Owns 100% of Chita mining rights.
• MSA is the beneficial owner of 50% of the Brechas Vacas Trust
that is the 100% owner of the Brechas Vacas Properties.
• The remaining 50% beneficial interest in the Trust is subject to a
purchase option (2017).
• MSA has an Option to Purchase 100% of the Minas de Pinto
properties (2017).
( See more detail in Minsud Financial Statements note 6)

5. I.
Story (continued)
• In 2011 Minsud Resources Corp. concluded a reverse take over with
Rattlesnake Ventures concurrently with the acquisition of MSA´s
shares, its qualifying transaction, and C$ 5.5 million Private Placement
financing.
• Taking Minsud to high quality standards of Corporate and Finance was
our second milestone.
• During 2012, the venture capital market went into a deep depression
undervaluing any business perceived as risky.
• Management defended successfully the Company´s valuation by issuing
shares above market price also avoiding a significant dilution to the
former shareholders.
• The company´s 2012 Business plan was financed by former seed
investors and the incorporation of a new one, Panedile S.A (a large
constructor with a branch in underground mining) also with a long
term vision.

7. III. Exploration and mining in Argentina
• An early stage of development commenced mid 90´s with the enactment of
the Promotional Mining Laws.
• Highly favorable geological settings for wide range of commodities in a
large and underexplored mineralized surface.
• Among the most remarkable regions we can highlight: Cordillera de los
Andes, Pre-cordillera, the Puna Plató, Sierras Pampeanas and the
Deseado Massif.
• The country production of precious and base metal is based on 11
productive mines. There are also 5 mines under development and at least
13 advanced explorations.
• There are an extensive activity in M&A deals and also many stories of
success.
• Comparable exports in the region, are about : Chile C$ 50.0 billion, Peru
C$ 40.0 but Argentina just less than C$ 5.0. A long way to go

10. VI. Argentine Outlook
• The country was growing at almost Chinese rates during past decade, but in
2012 went into a non-growing period.
• Country´s GDP is about 500 billion while external debt slightly above one
third, mainly long term restructured.
• Government and Social Security Institutions hold about the half of this
amount.
• During past decade, the country has been paying interest services and
capital at maturity with no new access to the capital market.
• In this framework the mining development is called to become the second
engine to grow added to the existing agricultural and agribusiness sector.
• The most important aspects affecting the domestic market are the high
inflation and restriction on the foreign exchange market that came up as
a palliative to the impact of the European crisis.

12. VIII. Minsud - 2013 Business Plan
• During this first semester Minsud will complete a systematic exploration
at the Chita Valley Project in order to define high quality drilling targets.
• We have already started to look for a JVP among majors and larger
explorers and expect to have proposals according to the size and quality of
the Chita Valley Project in two or three months.
• After joint venturing the Chita project, Minsud will continue to explore
early stage projects within its own portfolio or searching for new deals into
the market.
• These actions will allow Minsud to participate in the great opportunity
that exists in an underexplored country, such as Argentina.
• Consolidating Minsud as a solid player in the long run while
minimizing financial risk will be our future milestone.
• Intensify Investor Relations activities, it is a still
enhance investor base and provide stock floating.
