Introduction: The Consolidation Story

• Holds the leading tenement position over the Jutson Rocks Greenstone Belt (JRGB) of Western Australia where, in the 1970’s nickel boom, Tasminex Ltd roared from $3 to $96 a share

• Modern exploration has been largely blocked due to difficulties in securing native title access agreements. Global Nickel has overcome these past issues by finalizing a landmark access agreement with the Cosmo Newberry Aboriginal Corporation

• The EXPLORATION STORY is finally fully primed for Phase 3…

Exploration Strategy

March, 2011

• GNI has evolved to narrow in on a highly promising set of adjacent tenements giving it control right across one of the last underexplored greenstone belts in the whole of Australia

• Focused exploration to maximise value • Hard rock exploration in WA ultramafic and layered mafics of the

Jutson Rocks Greenstone Belt (JRGB)• Adjacent licenses are eminent Gold, Nickel, Copper & PGE targets

• Staged exploration:• Phase 1: broad geophysics, mapping, first-pass drilling (completed �)• Phase 2: geochemistry database, targeted geophysics (completed �)• Phase 3: tightening targets and high impact drilling (to begin soon!)

Professional and Informed Programme

• Expert team assembled and engaged• Gold expertise from Normandy• Local experience with AngloGold Ashanti• Independent reviews and pre-eminent opinions: Jutson Rocks is a

very well known “lost” project• Tight cost control with limited staffing and light overhead

• Multiple sources of historical data• Stunning assay results

• Worked closely with the Cosmo Newberry Aboriginal Community to establish land access• Was the major barrier to exploration – close knowledge was

essential to getting it through. Deed of Agreement now signed • Both Phase 1 and 2 programmes cleared quickly and seamlessly

• Phase 3 to begin soon (planning and drilling of rigorous targets)

JRGB Overview• GNI’s flagship JRGB projects (Jutson

Rocks, Mt Venn & Mt Cornell) are located 125km northeast of Laverton and comprises E38/1540, E38/1541 and adjacent Mt Cornell license EL38/1850

• Projects cover 60 contiguous strike kilometres of the NNW striking JRGB• Capture approximately 675 km2 of the

JRGB

• Previously demonstrated gold, base metal and platinoid mineralisation, but with minimal follow-up work

• JRGB and surface gold mineralisation indicates large exploration potential

The Right Location, Looking Next Door…

• Exploration in the more accessible Yamarna greenstone belt suggests regional potential

• Gold, Nickel, and Copper previously identified and many historic gold workings

• Ausgold recently announced positive Ni-Cu anomalism of 31m @ 0.58% Cu and 0.35% Ni drilling one of its VTEM targets at the Yamarna project next to Mt Cornell Source:

GNI’s JRGB Exploration• Two programmes of airborne geophysics

comprising 2722 line kilometers of VTEM. This work has generated a significant number of bedrock conductors which have been further defined using ground EM over the first survey. Ground EM is currently being conducted on anomalies defined from the second survey

• A programme of reverse circulation drilling targeting the Phase 1 VTEM anomalies and old gold workings. A total of 36 holes were drilled for 5482m targeting priority Phase 1 VTEM anomalies and some old gold workings

• Drilling demonstrated that mineralising processes are operative in the JRGB with low levels of copper mineralisation of up to 0.25% Cu & 0.59% Zn from the basal zones of differentiated dolerite units in the Mt Cornell area and anomalous gold of 0.223 g/t Au over 4m

Initial RC drill holes confirmed mineralisation at

Jutson Rocks

• A complete review of historical data has been completed resulted in a database with over 10,000 geochemical samples and 160 drill holes dating from the 1970’s

• Database processed in Phase 2 included:

• 575 rock chip samples, 7,300 soil samples, 970 vacuum drilling samples, 10 diamond drillholes, 19 percussion drill holes, 60 RC drill holes

• Analysing this data in it’s entirety for the first time has recognised several large copper, nickel and gold geochemical anomalies that have not been drill tested and which add to the targets defined from geophysics

• Recently completed geological mapping has been acquired which has allowed GNI to interpret and prioritise the geophysical and geochemical targets and identify prospective stratigraphy and structures for Phase 3

• Work to date has not only given encouraging results but has generated a large number of prospective targets for Phase 3 drilling

• Prioritising the geophysical anomalies using the recently acquired geological mapping together with the physical parameters of the anomalies

• Completion of the ground EM surveys over the prioritised anomalies from the Phase 2 VTEM programme

• Drilling of these anomalies and possibly other anomalies generated from the Phase 1 VTEM survey

• Identification of areas defined from the historical database for follow up geochemical sampling using modern techniques and assaying

• Implementation of a BLEG (Bulk Cyanide Leach) geochemical survey to generate gold targets over areas of favourable geology and structural complexity defined from geological interpretation of the combined geological and geophysical database.

Conclusion: Phase 3 to Drive Exploration Value

• Conditions are all aligned• GNI commodities (Au, Ni and Cu) are loved by the market

• Share price rebuilding again after Phase 1 run• Global Nickel’s share price rocketed to more than 10 cents (an

increase of more than 300%) in early 2010 as the company launched Phase 1 of exploration

• The tightly targeted Phase 3 programme to commence

• Team focused and primed

• Events about to run rapidly• Q1 2011: Phase 3 targets defined from Phase 2 VTEM

survey, ground EM and historical data

• Q2 2011: Phase 3 drilling to commence
