urgently review all available technical information of North West’s Copper properties (the

“Projects”). The Technical Committee will work with senior management to recommend the

Company’s technical strategy that will ensure that the Project s’ full potential is established

shareholder vote and appreciate the urgency, complexity and importance of the task that lies

ahead.

“We want to unlock the value of the Project s and restore the confidence of shareholders in the

Company through focusing our efforts on a value driven exploration pr ogram and deploying

capital where shareholders can get maximum return on their investment. The latter will also

involve a review of the cost structure of the Company and ensuring that our costs are appropriate

for a Company our size.

“We will work closely with our management team, local communities, regulatory authorities, and

all other stakeholders in an effort to deliver the full potential of the Project s. We will keep the

2

market informed through regular communication of our progress as we embark on this new

chapter in the evolution of Northwest.”
