Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements including but not limited to comments regarding the
timing and content of upcoming work programs, geological interpretations, receipt of property titles, potential
mineral recovery processes, etc. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and
therefore involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently

and governmental approvals for the company’s projects, and the availability of financing for the company’s
development projects on reasonable terms. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in forward looking statements include market prices, exploitation and exploration successes, the timing
and receipt of government and regulatory approvals, and continued availability of capital and financing and
general economic, market or business conditions. Group Ten Metals Inc. does not assume any obligation to
update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law.

With over 40+ years of experience with natural resource companies and, in particular, precious metals development, Mr. Page has
established a unique relationship with financiers, geologists and consultants in numerous roles for public companies including those
which discovered and/or brought into production the David Bell and Page Williams mines in Ontario, the Snip, Calpine/Eskay Creek
and Mascot Gold Mines in British Columbia, and the Penasquito Mine in Mexico.

Tom E. McCandless, PhD, PGeo - Chief Operating Officer & Director
Dr. McCandless has over 35 years experience in diamond and metals exploration including senior management positions at several
publicly-traded companies. He was Chief Mineralogist with Ashton Mining of Canada (now Stornoway Diamonds) through their
discovery and assessment of the Renard kimberlites, soon to be Quebec's first diamond mine. As President of MCC Geoscience Inc.
he has consulted for international mining houses exploring for diamonds, base and precious metals in North and South America,
southern Africa and Fennoscandia. Dr. McCandless has published extensively on the geochemistry of PGM, base metal, gold and
diamond deposits, and is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Alberta and the University of Arizona.

Target Commodities
Strong Fundamentals for Target Commodities:
Platinum
• Political uncertainty of supply - South Africa, Russia and Zimbabwe account for 92% of global supply.
• Increasing demand – Demand has grown by 4.4% per year on average since 1982, due largely to
automotive uses (catalytic convertors). Asian and Indian markets continue to drive this market.
• Declining supply – Primary supply has been declining at 2.6% average per year since 2006.
• Market deficit projected. Source: Wellgreen/Johnson Matthey
Palladium
• Political uncertainty of supply - South Africa, Russia and Zimbabwe account for 84% of global supply.
• Increasing demand – Demand has grown by 5% on average per year since 1982, due largely to automotive
uses (catalytic convertors). Asian and Indian markets continue to drive this market.
• Declining supply - Primary supply has been declining 3.3% average per year since 2004.
• Market deficit projected. Source: Wellgreen/Johnson Matthey
Nickel
• Market projection – Analysts project deficit by 2015/2016 based on lack of new development projects.
Macquarie analysts predict market deficit in 2014.
• Supply constraints – Indonesian export ban (representing 30% of global supply) plus delayed start-up on
new major projects.
•
Source: Wellgreen, INGS, Macquarie Research 2014
Gold
• Favorable fundamentals - Increasing demand combined with diminishing reserves and supply.
• Financial decline in the US dollar caused by large budget and trade deficits and a large increase in the
money supply is positive for gold.
• Global financial deterioration also positive for gold; it is held as a hedge against both inflation and
deflation.
